 Okay. Hi everyone. Welcome to our all day movie workshop. I'm Peter. I'll be your host today. And for those who are new, I can just let you know about the flow of the day. So we will start with David showing the movie. And then afterwards, we're going to have some breakout rooms where we can talk about what came up for us during the movie. And then finally later in the day, we'll have a closing session. So I'll pass it over to you now, David. Thank you, Pete. Welcome everyone. So glad you can be here. You're in for a big treat today. Ah, this is, it's like it'll be like a day of taking a hit of ayahuasca without taking the medicine. Without any after effects, it's going to be so expensive that you maybe will feel like you went through an ayahuasca trip with me. But just as I say, keep your hands on the carpet. Do not do not try to reach out outside the carpet, because we're going on a very, very, very deep journey today. And you will move ahead light years in your spiritual awakening. This movie is so good that years ago I used to recommend one movie. If you were on a desert island and you were just ready to exit earth, and you were had one movie. I used to say many years ago. Not Solaris, but now the movie I'm showing today is, I think it will work if you if you only had one movie to see to wake up. This will do it. This movie is is your wake up movie. So it will loosen your mind enormously from the ego on this ride we're going to do today. And as usual, it came about from prayer because many of you voted on the themes that you really were feeling and really wanted to get to the bottom of so to speak. And we have about 70 of us today joining from around the world. And the movie poll results were the following five themes. And this is why we're watching a quantum movie today because only a quantum movie can handle these five themes. You can't have your regular run of the mill plot and beginning and end and timeline movie to handle these themes you need, you need, you need the source code, you need, you need to make it to the source to transcend these themes because these themes are, are very thickly ego based, and they require a very strong dose of mind training. And today we're taking the ayahuasca together, we're going on, we're going on a trip to really free our mind from the ego in a very direct way. The top vote getter was devotion to mind training. And the main character in this movie is on a real mind training mission. And since we're watching the main character, we're going on a mind training mission to. This is mind training that is not typical of religions or spiritualities. A lot of religions and spiritualities emphasize rituals, whether it's rituals of doing certain things in a very repetitive way or breathing techniques or postures, or rituals. It's about a day, many times of the day, like in the Catholic church and Catholic convents and monasteries, maybe the, the, you know, Hail Mary full of grace, you know, going through the, the, the various repetition of prayers. This is a mind training movie where you have to let go of everything that you believe about time and space in order to come toward the light and come toward the lesson. This is the movie to help loosen you from the false familiarity of time from the false identification of a personality that is believed to be the self. This is truly mind training. When we talk about mind training sometimes people say what are you talking about this movie will really answer that question because the main character is going through major major mind training. Major loosening from the ego in a very rapid way. And that's why it's so helpful for us. We have a movie in our movie watchers guide to enlightenment collection called the nines and Brian Reynolds kind of goes through the movie in the nines and then he has a few different people that keep showing up to. There is mighty companions to remind him that what he thinks is his life is not his life. And then pretty far in the movie, the blonde woman, she kind of leans over and she whispers in his ear. You think you're a man, you're not. Imagine someone coming to your life and whispering in your ear you think you're a man or a woman, you're not. And that's pretty strong, because there's a lot of evidence we have in time and space that would teach us that we're a man or a woman that we're male or female. There's a lot of evidence in time and space that teaches us we're a body, instead of the light of God. There's a lot of evidence that teach us that we breathe when it's all part of a projection of ego beliefs that have no validity and no reality. We really don't get a lessons in time and space that we are an eternal being. That's because we need a lot of forgiveness of all of our beliefs in time and space before we can awaken to our eternal reality. But this movie goes a long way in loosening us from time and space. So the devotion to mind training in this movie is really spectacular. It is very spectacular. Many traditions, spiritual traditions, philosophical traditions and religious traditions teach that you have to go through many lessons in this world. And what Jesus is teaching us in a course of miracles is no, there's only one lesson, and that lesson is forgiveness. The lesson is in the mind. It's not in form. You don't have interpersonal lessons in your relationships. You don't have lessons with the environment of earth. You don't have lessons around pollution, economics and finances. You don't have lessons around cancer and heart disease and tsunamis and tornadoes and hurricanes. There are no lessons in time and space because the whole script of time and space was made by the ego to keep you from forgiving the ego. And it's a lot of distractions have been invented in time and space to keep you from forgiving this belief in separation from God to keep you from realizing there's only one lesson and that lessons in the mind. So the lesson actually doesn't involve men or women. The lesson doesn't involve mistreatment, abuse, all types of somebody did me wrong in some version or some form either physically or psychologically. The lesson is the belief in separation from God in the mind, and that is where the forgiveness has to occur. Forgiveness is not personal. You have to forgive everything about the personal in order to forgive this world. And Jesus is saying forgive it all. Forgive history. You know he two points in a course in miracles Jesus says, forgive me your illusions. Why do I have to forgive Jesus. He's just saying forgive the man, the Christ is neither male nor female, forgive the apostles. Forgive Mother Mary, forgive Mary Magdala, forgive all these time characters that you have believed in and accept yourself as the living Christ. Right now, that's the lesson. The lesson is to remember that you are the Christ, and you have always been the Christ, and always will be the Christ. You are nothing but light. You are nothing but love. You are nothing but pure innocence in an eternal nature and this world of time and space only seems to be a world of guilt because of the ego, this, this belief in the mind. Second one, undoing concern for others. So you might say, well, wait a minute, I thought that was spiritual to be. No, actually, the ego projected all the bodies, as if they're others. And the point of the lesson of forgiveness is to see there's only one of us. There's only one of us. There's always only been one of us. When we have believed in duality and separation and multiplicity, we forget that there's only one of us, that God created Christ, and there's even a part in the Course in Miracles where Jesus says God has one son. That's just saying there's just one Christ. There aren't many Christ. There's just one. There aren't many selves. There's only one. And that one remains is a perfect idea in the mind of God. And the whole point of spiritual awakening is to forgive all the beliefs of time and space so that you can remember your true identity as the living Christ. That's why Jesus could heal the sick, raise the dead. And that's why Jesus was under no laws but God's. And the laws of this world were like putty in his hands. You know, demons cast out, be gone, leprosy, blindness, palsy, any kind of sickness, any kind of symptom could not stand in the light of Christ. Because love is real, and illness is not, because love is real and death is not. So undoing concern for others involves a shift in mind, in perception, where you literally see your brother or your sister as yourself. You see no difference between yourself and anyone, because you share the same mind. And that's why Jesus could heal the sick and raise the dead. He knew there was only one of us. And there weren't many. And there weren't many diseases. And there weren't many forms of death. There was just the ego and he said, happily, be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. He's saying I overcame the ego. Happy, happy, happy. This is good news. That's why they call it the good news of the gospel. It's a be of good cheer. I've overcome the world. Now I know a lot of you, that second one is the reason why you're devoting yourself to the mind training. The first one is because you have to undo the concern for others. As long as you feel like you have to please others, as long as you believe you have to have others approval to be happy. As long as you believe you, you have to, you're in some kind of equation with others and you have to keep the balance. Just right. Don't rock the boat. Don't make a wrong move, or the other will explode. I feel like you're walking on eggshells. Okay, I gotta watch out for my husband and my wife. I don't want to really cause an explosion today. I want to just get through the day with no explosions. And Jesus is saying, listen, if you're trying to please them, you aren't really seeing your Christ nature. If you knew who you were, you wouldn't be walking on eggshells. You wouldn't be dancing on the waves. If you knew who you were, if you knew how beautiful you were, if you knew how loving you were as the Christ, you wouldn't be dancing and walking around afraid to rock the boat with these others. Instead of concern for others, you would have this great love that just like washes out radiates from your mind. And that's not concern. Concern is like worry. And Jesus is telling us, don't worry about these characters in the dream, because who you are and the purpose you share in your heart is enough to light the whole dream up. It will light the whole world up just from the inside, from you being focused on your purpose of forgiveness. Third one, service as a pathway to God. I remember, I think when I think of service, I think of Mother Teresa, you know, she said, she told all of her sisters, I want you to see the face of Jesus in everyone that you meet in every child that you pick up off of the street in every poor person in every leper in every one you meet I want you to see the face of Jesus. Well, she also said that she was here to serve the poorest of the poor. And the thing about service is a lot of times we associate service with form like doing things for people, like serving in a soup kitchen, or going and picking up trash. You've kind of, you've got trash in your neighborhood you go around you pick up the trash, and the people would say that's service that's service for your community picking up trash. This is has a very different idea of service. He would say that if you serve the Holy Spirit to remember true forgiveness, how to forgive the ego and forgive all your brothers and sisters how to forgive the behaviors that are part of this world. This is the highest service that you can offer service is a pathway to God because service means remembering that you are one with God service doesn't have to do with feeling like you have to put in so many hours of being a do good in form and and doing good. Oh, I did four hours of service today I'm not going to have a good meal and take a nap and you know no service is not what you do with the body. Service is what you do in your mind when you forgive. When you forgive your personality self. And I mean when you loosen from believing that you're this man or woman. When you let go of the story of your history. When you let go your future ambitions and goals. When you really give the personality self and the whole world to Jesus. Now that is service now you've done some service. You did a service for the whole universe freeing your mind of the ego is no small thing and that's the service that Jesus wants. He doesn't want you to get stuck up in rituals that you don't even enjoy how boring. And if you just have to repeat a bunch of rituals over and over you don't even enjoy. That's not service services joy services happiness services sharing love from your heart with everyone that you meet. That's service because that's getting into the lesson in the mind that I was talking about and remember there's only one lesson that's forgiveness in the mind. It must be that service as a pathway to God involves forgiveness. This movie is great for that. You know there's a little bit of a plot going on in this movie, but it doesn't take us long to realize that the plot is not the lesson. And why is that important is because when we believe we're a personality we get lost in the plot. We get lost in the plot of the people seem to be around us. You know, even the spiritual community could turn into a plot. And if, if even you're feeling like you're, you're wanting to be part of a spiritual community but it's a linear plot. That's, that's not it. The body is a state of mind. Forgiveness is the state of mind it's the state of joy and happiness. It has nothing to do with the bodies. It has nothing to do with the configurations of the bodies it has everything to do with your state of mind. That's being God dependent because you're not dependent on the form. You know, some of you remember Grace slick did that song. Let the world around us just fall apart. Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart. There you go grace. What a name grace that's really the state of grace when you're in your heart when you're in the joy and the love and the laughter. You are in communion with God. You are in communion with the source with the creator. That's what it's all about. It's not about the form. It's about the state of mind. So let's stop thinking about service as something that you, you have to like drudgery. Sometimes when I say, well, it's good. It's services fun. They're like, oh, no, service is not fun to me. Well, if service is not fun, it's probably because you're associating it with with the body. Instead of the mind. And of course that would, that could get boring. It could get could get repetitive, you know, if you associate it with the body. Not in this movie. We will see that services is is remembering the truth and remembering who you are. The next one got 32 votes. It's called the fear of change in eternity. There is no such thing as change. Everything is eternal. It's one it's pure spirit it's changeless. There's no time and space involved in eternity. But when you seem to have a fall from grace when you forget the eternal nature of reality, when you seem to be dreaming a dream of separation. When you seem to fall from grace, then that was the first change that the sleeping son of God experienced was going from an eternal being into a time space creature. And that's the first change and it had a lot of fear. There was a lot of fear involved in that seeming fall from grace. Not that it happened in reality but but if you perceive fear in any way shape or form, then you believe that it has happened. And there's a lot of fear involved in that fall from source fall from grace. So the fear of change, the ego projects it to the world. And what do I mean by that, I mean that the fear is in the mind, but the ego projects out a world in which there's this body character. And one of the most fearful things the ego says you can go through is death of the body. The body is just an image that's part of this projected world. It's, it never really lives. That's why it can't die because it's just an image. It's just a construct that was made up it's fictitious. And what's fictitious can't really be born and not can't really die but the ego associates death of the body with as a huge trauma. So by all this doing things that you don't really enjoy, you know, working for the body to survive so it doesn't die buying all these insurances, so that you ensure against sickness of the body, it allows us doing all kinds of protective measures even medicine all these things are inventions, but all these things are to fight off the death of the body, or to at least prolong what seems to be the image of the body moving through time and space. The fear of change is, is really because of that original fall from grace that's where the, that's where the fear comes in. And yet, Jesus says that change is the greatest gift that God blessed the sleeping man with. So, this is a gift. And what does he mean by that now you can change your mind about what you believe you are an ego to remembering you're the Christ you see so what seemed to be a fearful thing is now been reinterpreted by the Holy Spirit as the thing that gets you back to remembering who you really are. So, when we talk about fear of change, we'll see in this movie that there's going to be a looping scenario in which the bodies are destroyed by a bomb over and over a fiery bomb. And it helps teach us that death of the body is is not the lesson. It's even something to be feared, because the lesson is in the mind. And even with reincarnation, you know, people say well you get as many lifetimes as you need to, to learn the lesson of forgiveness. Because those lifetimes are actually real. That's, they're all just a projection of the ego belief, and life is eternal life. Life is, is heaven. Life is nirvana. Life is oneness life is spirit, and spirit never comes into form. Spirit never comes into form. Spirit is always eternal. It's an eternal nature of being. And the final one is facing devastation. For most people, death of the body is the is the devastation. And what Jesus is teaching us is no, it's this ego belief in the mind that is the devastation. You need to face the hurt in the mind. You need to face the grievance in the mind. You need to face the error in the mind. The lesson is not in the form. The lesson is the ego belief in the mind. And that's what makes it so important to do the mind training. You don't ever really accomplish anything in form because it's an illusion. So you can say well I'm, I'm rich. I've got three college degrees. I have a family. I have a nice house. I have good bank accounts and investments. And really what you've got, you've got nada, nada, nada, nada. You've got nothing, nothing that you do in time and space. When you're trying to build a self concept of images amounts to anything. There was a great movie that we had from many years ago. I think it was around 1929. You can't take it with you. Wow, that's a great idea. You can't take it with you. What, what do you take with you from this world. Nothing. It's, it's like a little sand sandbox and you can make sand castles all you want, but none of it goes with you. The only thing that that really you can take with you is forgiveness. And that will free you from the whole, the whole gig, the whole game. And even that just takes you right to the light. It doesn't, you don't get to carry anything with you. You can't like say well I attained some nice things in form and I get to take it with me you don't. They, they don't go with you. They're a projection. They, they don't have any, any validity or any lasting value, which is a bunch of symbols. This movie helps us with that too. Now, the movie I'm going to show you today is called source code. And I like the title to because to me, when we study a course in miracles, we really do get the source code from Jesus, which is forgiveness. That's our source code. That's the code that gets us back to the source. And yet in this movie, the source code is a computer program that has been designed so that when a person is in their last hours of dying, or actually not even hours, but the last eight minutes before the brain activity ceases, that there's a way to connect a computer to this dying person and to their brain and to use their brain activity, which they associate with consciousness for something that will help the world. In this case, we, I'll give you a little bit of the setup so you're not too disoriented when you watch this movie. Usually when you watch a movie that's a quantum movie like, for example, Mr. Nobody, you're just like, What is going on. And maybe you had the same experience with eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, or the movie next. There's a lot of quantum movies but it helps to have a little bit of context going in, because it's disorienting. It doesn't, it doesn't have such a solid plot plot line as as typical movies. So in this movie, there's going to be an eight minute segment of a train ride outside of Chicago that is going to be repeated. Some of you remember the movie Groundhog Day. Anybody ever see Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, and the day just loops day after day after day. Yes, if that was Groundhog Day, this would be called Chicago eight minutes. This is, this is, this is a little scenario of a train ride in Chicago that loops, it's only eight minutes long, and then the train blows up. So, so that's your learning device. You're going on an eight minute train ride that in which train blows up. And so you can tell our main character is going to be quite confused by this. He is extremely disoriented. He doesn't understand what's happening. He doesn't understand who he is. And then he's sitting on this train, and there's this beautiful woman next to him, and the seat across from him, Christina Christina here the Christ word in there Christina is going to help lead him back toward the light of Christ. And she's named beautifully Christina. And he is going to discover as he moves along that he's not who he thinks he is. He identifies himself with a personality called Captain Colter Stevens, who's who is has all he remembers is he was on a military mission, a military tour of duty so in his mind, he's capture, he's Captain Colter Stevens. But when he's on this train, the woman Christina is going to keep calling him Sean. And he's like, Sean, who is Sean. Who is Sean. Who is this Sean, and he doesn't understand what's happening till he goes back to go to the bathroom looks in the mirror and he sees Sean. His body appears to be a man named Sean. So he seems to be in a state of consciousness where he's, he's witnessing a scenario in a train, headed for Chicago, and he seems to be in the body of Sean. All of this is important to know because he is extremely disoriented. He doesn't. He starts to question who am I. I mean, authentically deeply question who am I, because of what's happening to him, not like you're at Ramana Maharshi's ashram and you're told, you're supposed to ask the question who am I. But he's actually wondering, who am I what what is going on here. Why is this important is because this is for all of us. If you have a fixed belief that you know who you are in time and space. That is going to be the greatest block to you remembering yourself as the Christ. If you think you know your body. If you think you know your personality, your history, your ambitions. That will be the greatest block to remembering who you really are as the Christ, because this world is like a hypnotism it's like a mesmerism of false identity. This is how we're sharing before with the movie the nines, the blonde woman whispers, you think you're a man, you're not. You think you're a human, you're not. And yet, the conditioning that has a human being on planet Earth is egoic, and it's very thick. It's blocking us from knowing who we really are. And the clue is we have to go along on this ride with what seems to be captain captain culture. And we have to start to realize that that his journey is our journey that to the extent that I think I already know who I am that will be a block to who I really am. This journey with this repetition of these eight minutes, over and over and over, are just part of a plan or an opportunity to realize that there's some grievance that's in the mind, and that this grievance is buried. We have some issue going on with God that we've forgotten about. We have a we have some kind of a separation issue going on with God that has been so pushed out of awareness that it's not in our daily awareness. All we know is this personality self that seems to be the me. It has some good things that happen and it seems to have bad things. It has good days and bad days. It has happy emotions and not so happy emotions. But underneath all of it is there's a belief in our identity that that this is an identity of the world that God did not create. That's where all upsets come in. It's an issue in the mind is the authority issue. Who is my author, and that issue is played out every second of every day, but it's played out in a very diluted and diffused way. This is not something that people go through their day thinking consciously about this who am I question is is not such a central question. Because the personality self has already been accepted as the answer to that question. You go into a bar you sit down to have a drink somebody comes in since next to you. Hey, what's your name. Ah, personality name. What do you do for a living. Ah, personality vacation. What are your interests and hobbies. personality interest and hobbies. Jesus goes into a bar who are you, the Christ. What do you do for a living forgiveness forgiveness. That's not a vocation. Oh yes it is. What's the point of all of it. I am. What's your hobbies. I am. What do you do for a living. I am. Oh, that's a good answer. Do you have any future goals or ambitions. No, I am, you know, it's pretty simple. It's, that's the whole point of everything is identity, but as long as we believe in the personality self. That self is not the self that God created that self is an invention, a fictitious invention of the ego and time and space. So, our main character captain culture Stevens. He starts to realize something fishy is going on on the street, because Christina keeps calling him Sean, and he's like Sean, that is not my name stop calling me Sean, I am not. I am Captain Polter Stevens. See, he's looks in the mirror. Hmm. It's another guy when he looks in the mirror he seems to be looking through some eyes but it's not. He's not what he thinks he is. And then as he moves through this movie, he has to forgive. He has to find the grievance in his mind before he can go back to the source that created the Christ. The plot of this movie is that there's, there's a bomber that is blowing up this train, and the plot is like typical movies find the bomber, because there's another bomb called a dirty bomb. It's a big bomb in Chicago and talk about concern for others. The bomb if it goes off could take out a lot of people, a lot of others. But this movie is concerned with finding the bomber on the train. That's the, that's the linear plot, and then finding the identity of the bomber so that the dirty bomb scenario in the city of Chicago can be presented. How does that relate to us? Well, maybe the plot of your life involves this personality self and then you're concerned about what's going to happen during the day or during the coming weeks and months. Maybe you're concerned about the survival of this personality self. Maybe you're concerned about the happiness of this personality self. You're concerned about what other people seem to think about this personality self and whether they like it or don't like it, whether there's a popular personality self or not. Jesus is trying to teach us all those things don't really matter, because you're dreaming a dream in which you've forgotten your true identity. Now, the dream is being maintained by a grievance that you still have in your mind, and you need to forgive that grievance to wake up from the dream. In other words, the whole point of mind training is to expose the ego and to see that it's not you, that you're not an ego. Because the great teaching of Jesus is I am as God created me, I am the Christ. There's only one of us, and it's wonderful. And heaven is wonderful. Heaven is a state of reality. But as long as I still hold a grievance, and it doesn't matter what the grievance is actually, because it's always just some form of belief in the ego and belief in time and space. I know you're going to enjoy this right, because if you go on this trip, you will start to see for yourself that who you believed you were is not the truth of who you are. And that's why the saints and the mystics get happier and happier. That's why, when you are devoted to this purpose we call forgiveness, you are really devoted to true happiness to true joy. Your heart will just burst with love. When you have let go of believing something that you're not. Something that can keep the love from your awareness is, is the belief in something that you are not. And I like this movie because it's, it's got a lot of ambiguity in it for the main character. But with all this ambiguity and disorientation. There's something deep inside that is curious. That is curious about what is the real lesson here. And there's also something that's curious about identity, like, who am I really. That's what's underneath this, this entire movie. This movie is is a call to remember the source of all of all being. And in that sense, it's, it's very, very, very heartfelt movie in forgetting the world and remembering the eternal nature of being. I will pop in at various places. It's, it's not that long of a movie but it actually is, is just got so many good lessons that point to the lesson in the mind that point to the lesson that must be found in the mind. And even consciousness itself is is really expressed in these eight minutes. It's like a repetition of consciousness, where a scenario is just playing out based on a belief. The key lesson is, am I innocent, and, and what is the eye or who is the eye that is purely innocent that has never experienced guilt that has never been born and never shall die. That is the point and the meaning of this whole movie. So get back, enjoy the movie, stay on the carpet. Do not take your hands wandering today, because this is a movie of of going inward to your consciousness. And it's not a movie of trying to figure out externals. You'll see that this eight minute scenario the train just keeps blowing up. That's for a human, a human adventure. That's not a ride you'd want to go to an amusement park for you, you hop on the roller coaster and the roller coaster blows up. That's not exactly a very enticing ride. It actually serves us very well for us to realize that we're something more than the body, and we're something more than this personality that we have believed in. So enjoy the movie and I'll pop in and we'll have a great day.
