 Well, hi everybody. Welcome once again, welcome to our all day movie workshop. I'm Peter and I'm going to be your host today. And just to let you know the flow of the day, we're going to start with David and the movie. And then we'll have a short break and then we'll have our breakout rooms where you can share anything that came up for you during the movie session. And then after another break, we'll have our closing session where David can touch upon anything that came up individually with everybody present. So I'll pass it straight over to you now David. Thank you. Thank you, Pete. Welcome, everyone. Good to see you. See all your smiling faces here. Ah, what a what a deep dive we're going to take today. We have one of the all time classic movies that will be such a mind opener. I think people have said when I have shown this movie, their mind is blown. They said, David, that is a mind blowing experience. They say it's they just stare around at the world after it's over because they it doesn't even look the same. The world starts to collapse and fade a bit from this movie in the in the spirits commentary. And it's kind of like maybe taking a psychedelic drug experience without the side effect. So you go on an ayahuasca trip with me without throwing up and without having any side effects. But you feel, boom, like your mind has just blasted wide open. And you say, oh my God, I can't even believe this. But this is part of the destiny to wake up and remember the light. And today's movie is a definitely an adventure to to forgive the world of dreams, escape the world of dreams and open up to a direct experience of the light merge with the light of God merge into the light of Christ. So as usual, we put out a movie poll and we ask you what are the themes and issues that you're dealing with. And then we come up with prayer and a movie that will address your concerns, your issues, your themes. So we had an English poll and we had a Spanish poll. And then the combined poll results are coming in number one, facing fear, thoughts of failure and self hatred. Number one theme. I'll say it again, facing fear, thoughts of failure and self hatred. You know, if you can transcend this theme, you are home free. You are home free. If you can face these and forgive them. What couldn't you forgive if you can face these. Number two, the practice of pray, listen and follow. Again, that's the practice of mind training. If you devote your life to praying and listening and following. That's it. You don't need a lot of complicated formulas. You don't need lots of different meditation techniques. You don't need complexities. You don't eventually if you really devote yourself to pray, listen and follow. You don't need scripture. You don't even need scripture in a book. I'm talking the Bible or the Course or the Koran or the Bhagavad Gita or the Upanishads. You don't need them. If you develop a practice of pray, listen and follow. That takes you all the way back to the light. Just your practice, your devoted, dedicated practice takes you to the light from that simple pray, listen and follow. So that came in almost as close to the top, only two votes behind facing fear, thoughts of failure and self hatred. Number three, what does it mean to be truly helpful? Some of you know in the early part, the beginning of A Course in Miracles, Jesus gives us a prayer. And the prayer begins, I am here only to be truly helpful. I am here to represent him who sent me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do for he who sent me will direct me. It's a very powerful prayer. It goes on, but this is what does it mean to be truly helpful? And I would say it means to forgive the world if you can follow the example of Jesus Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It's the purpose of the meaning of truly helpful is forgiveness, is to see that you have one responsibility and that's to forgive the world. And you have no other. You may believe you have a lot of specific responsibilities that are tied up to your personality self, but actually just have one responsibility that's to forgive the world. Because God didn't create the world. So, whatever God creates is eternal, and this world of time and space, linear time and space is not eternal. So God definitely didn't create it. And if God didn't create it, what business would you have believing in it? If you're a child of God, why would you want to believe in something that's fiction, fantasy, make believe? You know, it's time for childhood stories to be laid aside and come unto the light. It's time for the dramas and dreams of wild imaginings to be laid aside. It's time to come with holy empty hands and to the Lord thy God and lay the thoughts of this world behind. And today's movie will help you take a giant leap towards releasing the world. I promise you that. The next was how to take back projections. And really taking back projections is just starting to remember that everything is in the mind. There is no external world. There are no external situations or circumstances. If you say, well, I really feel hungry, it's like, well, your mind has to believe in hunger before you can experience feeling hungry. You may say, I'm afraid of the COVID virus. I'm afraid. I'm contemplating my defenses. You know, should I, should I take a vaccination? Should I avoid being around certain people, avoid travel? Jesus saying in lesson 76, he says, you really believe that a fluid push through a sharpened needle will ward off disease. Jesus is poking fun at vaccinations. I know everybody's got a good stance now pro and con on vaccinations. Well, let's see what Jesus's stance is on vaccinations from lesson 76. You really believe a liquid force through a sharpened needle will ward off disease. He's laughing. He's poking fun at the medical model. He's poking fun at economic model. You believe you would starve unless you had stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal disk. He says it's madness that believes these things. He's poking fun at the ego. He's poking fun at the beliefs of the ego. And he's saying, come on. Hey, you're, you're a child of God. You are light. You have always been light. You always will be light. There's nothing that can touch your light because God created you as light. And what God creates reigns forever and forever and forever. Amen. Period. Nothing else. No additives necessary. This movie today is called the island. And in this movie, the island represents a safe haven where people can go and be safe from pathogens. People may say, what's that mean safe from pathogens. Well, this movie was made in 2005 but now we have covered. It's a pathogen. Now I'm showing this movie for the first time in a pathogen era. Back then in 2005 it was like, ooh. Really the island is is a haven where there are no pathogens. It's a future haven. And, and really it's no different than when we think I'll be happy when my bank account has X amount of dollars I'll be happy when I find my soulmate in the future I'll be happy when I have a carefree life. I don't have to work. I'll be happy then. I'll be happy when there's world peace. Whatever that is, you know, what Jesus says well peace of mind is world peace. If you, if you have peace of mind and the world is at peace because the world's not outside of you. So if you're peaceful, world peace. You're not peaceful. Forget about world peace. You're just going to perceive war conflict competition. You're going to perceive hierarchies. You're going to perceive judgments. It's which world you want to look upon is important. So the island in this movie is, which is in the title is is a hypothetical future safe haven from pathogens and the world as a contrast to the world, which at this point it for this movie the world is seen as a world of pathogens. The world is unsafe. The world is so unsafe in this painted picture that it's a world of extinction where where life, as it was known biological life has gone extinct and then only the safe haven of the island in the future hypothetical future is is worth striving for. Now I like this movie because in this world the ego has made a whole linear time space world. And then people say well I'll be happy when I get married or I'll be happy when I finally achieve a certain status or I finally am free from my family, or I finally have a family and children. It's a hypothetical future goals that will bring about happiness and Jesus is saying happiness, peace and joy can only be found in the present moment. Don't fool yourself into the trick of a future happiness. Because in the immediacy of salvation section pretty late in the text, he says, be not content with future happiness. Future freedom, because it is not your just reward, you have cause for freedom. Now, he's always telling us that the escape into eternity is in the present moment. He found nowhere else. He calls it the holy instant. Eckhart Tolle calls it the present and practicing the presence and all the mystics and saints have pointed to the present moment. This movie will show us what is blocking us from an experience of the present moment. I prayed to Jesus today and I said is there a workbook lesson or an initial workbook idea that would be helpful for all of us watching your movie today. And he said yes. Actually, workbook lesson number 11 from the workbook of A Course in Miracles. This lesson says my meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. And he does say this is early on in the workbook. This is the first idea. And he said that is related to a major phase of the correction process, the reversal of the thinking of the world. It seems as if the world determines what you perceive. Today's idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world you see. And indeed to practice the idea in its initial form for this idea is your release made sure and this idea is your release made sure the key to forgiveness lies in it. So, if we only have one responsibility and that's to forgive and the key to forgiveness lies in this idea. And if my meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world, then it must be that we have something to learn that is extremely important. Now, some of you have read books like the holographic universe. And in these books they say that the world of time and space the perceptual world is is holographic. And what Jesus does is he takes us to a place in our mind where he shows us that the world that we think we see or perceive is the same as the world we think we think. So first we think we think it and then we think we perceive it. And that's what he means by what I just read that your thoughts alone produced the world you see. The world wasn't here before you came. It can be a belief that you reincarnated and you were just a happy little soul flying around we we we. Where should I go. Oh, where should I manifest. I go down to that little blue planet. Oh, that looks like a cute one little patches of white clouds and all this blue looks like a cute little blue planet now. Jesus says when you came, you brought the world with you. You had, if you were a soul you had a little backpack on, and you had the entire cosmos in your backpack and you. You projected out mom and dad. You projected out your location you projected your language. The world wasn't here before you got here, you brought the world with you. And what a beautiful teaching you don't hear that very often. You, you don't hear that you know what I brought the world with me. Yes, Jesus says you did. You did. You didn't create it you must have brought it. God, what would God have to do with war and disease and COVID. Nothing. Oh, you must have unpacked COVID. You had the whole pandemic in your backpack and you waited until 2020 to unpack it. You came the world when you feel depressed thoughts of the world are depressing but but the world itself is just a projection from the mind. Now, there's an idea in the, in the text of a course of miracles where Jesus keeps repeating the same idea. You know, most students of a course of miracles. They, they read it the first time from Jesus, and they go, What the hell is he talking about. And then he repeats it second, third, fourth, fifth time, and they go, What the hell, what the hell, what the hell, what the hell, because they have no idea what he's talking about. And it's a real short idea. So it's, it's a key idea. If you can get this one idea then you're enlightened. You don't have any struggles but that's that's why people go what the hell is because they, they don't really relate to what he's talking about. And here's the idea. Ideas leave not their source. That's it's a very simple thing. Ideas leave not their source. And Jesus repeats this many times in his text. And what it means is that the world that you perceive has not left the mind of the thinker and the world that is perceived has not left the ego. So if you believe in the ego, you perceive a world as if it's external but it's still in your mind. The ego is not in the world. The ego is just a belief in the mind, a belief in separation. But if you, if you give your mind over to the ego beliefs, then you will perceive a world that seems to be external, but it's not. There is no such thing as an external world apart from the mind. Now, I'm talking about the split mind obviously because if God is pure love then, then time and space, you know, they, they have no existence. Some of you might remember the, the introduction to A Course in Miracles. Jesus closes his introduction by saying, nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists herein lies the peace of God. What does he mean by that? Nothing real can be threatened. How does that relate to ideas leave not their source? The Christ idea. I'm not talking about Jesus the man 2000 years ago. I'm saying the Christ idea, the light of Christ is still an idea in the mind of God. And Christ has never left the mind of God. Ideas leave not their source. Christ has never left God. And Jesus taught this when he said, I and the Father are one. He was talking about heaven. He was talking about pure spirit. He was talking about oneness. He was talking about the God by divine love. So ideas leave not their source in the most pure sense is saying Christ, the light of Christ has never left the mind of God. Christ is an idea in the mind of God. Even though in a split mind ideas leave not their source, because even a split mind still follows the same law of love of the divine mind, meaning that if you believe in the ego, then there will be nothing outside of the mind that is, is determining your state of mind. It's the ego belief and the ego thoughts that bring sadness, hurt pain, depression, guilt, fear. The ego is a death wish. And if you are thinking with the ego, you are trying to hold on to private thoughts and private minds. That's what Jesus means by a meaningless world and gender's fear. And, and that's why he says my meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. He's saying my private thoughts, the thoughts I think all by myself or with the ego are showing me a meaningless world. My private thoughts are showing me a private world. My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. And it doesn't leave not their source means that whenever you have a grievance, it's just that you're giving reality to a judgment in your mind. That's not true. That God didn't create. And of course, that's where the upset occurs, because God's will is for perfect happiness. But if you hold on to a thought that's a part from God's creation pure love and light, then that's where the, the distortion comes in. That's where the upset comes in. Now in this movie I'm going to show today. What we see is there's different aspects to the movie. Now, there is one aspect that the movie will open up with and I'm just going to call this clone world. Clone world is what is a clone by the copy. So a clone world is just a copy society. It's just a copy. Group of people. It's, it's a, it's a clone in the sense that it's just a copy of something else. So the clones in this world think that they're real people. And I would say that has enormous transfer value to this world too, because people really think that they're real in this world. You know, they go, I'm real. Here, look at that. I'm real. No, it's, this is a copy. So the, what we call the body or the personality is a copy of something that's in the mind. And that's a private thought, or meaningless thought, but the clones are just copies. One big aspect of waking up is to start to realize that who you think you are in the world is not really who you are. Who you think you are in this world is, is a replica of a tiny little thought called ego. It doesn't have any eternity and it has no reality actually so, so you don't have to be so, so bad if you, if you think poorly of yourself, or you think good of your personality self it's the same illusion. You're not good or bad. And you've never been right or wrong as a person. That's just cloneville. So in this movie, we have, I'll call it cloneville, and then we have something beyond cloneville that is seems to be Sponsorville. This is the realm of, of those that make or those that own or those that possess and, and again, both of these worlds are not real. What we could call the human world and the clone world, it's all really the same thing, but this movie is going to help us start to realize that we're not what we thought we were. In this movie they have memory implants and basically that's all the ego is is memory implants. It's, it's planted memories of time and space. And when you believe in these memories you get very sentimental, you get very emotional. I miss you. When will I see you again, you know, all kinds of things. These are all thoughts in the mind, but they're all memory implants. And really the memory of God is found in the present moment at the Holy instant. So that's why we have to see things as they've been made up and then be willing to release them and to let them go. Now in clone in the clone world we're going to see there's like three different levels. There's the middle level which seems to be the clone society. And then there's a level above that where there's something else that the clones are being used for that they don't know about. They're being used in a sinister way to four bodies and body parts. Their, their society they think is what life is but it's actually just part of a sinister plot. And that's the way it is with this world the ego just uses the people and the bodies to preserve itself to keep itself hidden in the mind. And the third level I mentioned in this clone society thing is the basement, and that's where the programming takes place. That's your unconscious mind. And that's where all the programming of time and space of desires, likes, dislikes, competition, lust, every kind of egoic desire and memory is programmed, and that's part of the unconscious mind. Jesus in the course he calls it the mind that you think in secret. There's a dream you dream in secret and then there's a dream you gave away so the middle tier would be the dream that was given away that's the society and then underneath is all the programming. Human beings are not really aware of how the ego is using the world, because if they were, if the mind saw how, how the ego was using the world to reinforce itself, the mind would say, I'm not going to do this anymore. This is a trick. I'm not going to buy into this trick anymore. And if the, if the mind knew the unconscious programming, and it raised it up into awareness, it would say, this is dark. I don't, I don't want to have anything to do with this darkness anymore. I would only know my creator. I would only know the light. I would only know heaven. I would only know eternity. That's, that's the prayer of the heart, wake, help wake me up to my eternal being, my, my eternal reality. In this world, and then also in the movie we see there's, there's private thoughts, and then there's the seeming projection of the private thoughts that's my meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. And in this movie, the private thoughts are called sponsors, and they have clones, which are perfect copies or perfect replicas of the sponsor. And, and yet, both the sponsors and the clones are part of consciousness. And that's the most important thing you can get from this movie is that we are taking a journey today into consciousness. Jesus calls consciousness the domain of the ego. So make no mistake, while we're looking at what we're looking at today, we're going to be touring the domain of the ego, which is images. And yet, the point of the movie is to set the mind free of thinking that there's an internal world and an external world to set the mind free from thinking there's an observer and an observed to set the mind free from thinking that there's a thinker and a world outside of the thinker. That's the trick. If you can see that the world is in your mind you can let it go. But as long as you believe that it's external to you, then you will seem to be a victim of it. As long as you give belief and meaning in reality to an external world, then you will feel at the mercy of that external world. So that's why we call it self realization. When you remember the Christ, when you first remember that you're dreaming the world you are putting yourself into a position to escape the world. As long as you believe you're a figure in the dream world, then you don't understand one simple idea. Ideas leave not their source. That's the one idea that Jesus is repeating over and over in the text. That's the only thing to grasp is that He is not outside of me. Now, this is a real action adventure movie if, if at some point you need to turn the screen off, or take a meditation pause. I will give you a workbook lesson from A Course in Miracles to focus your mind on, because this lesson is basically what we're going to learn from the movie today. What we're going to give you is lesson 132 from the workbook of A Course in Miracles. And this lesson I'll read you what the lesson is so you can kind of keep it in your heart as you watch this movie, you will need this lesson with this movie, because this is a very deep movie. We're going, what did I say last week, we're going way, way, way down to the bottom of the rabbit hole. We're going through the rabbit hole today. We're actually forget bottom. We're not going to bottom out. We're going, we're going through the rabbit hole. In Alice in Wonderland, Alice comes into a crazy world with the Mad Hatter. We're going past the Mad Hatter. Believe me, we're going way beyond the Mad Hatter. We're going for the light with this movie today. We're going for the light. And this is the lesson I want you to keep in mind number 132. Loose the world from all I thought it was. What keeps the world in chains, but your beliefs, and what can save the world except your capital self Christ self belief is powerful. The thoughts you hold are mighty and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. So Jesus is saying, don't ever deny the power of your thoughts. Your thoughts can imprison your mind and make you feel like a prisoner in a world of time and space, or your thoughts can set you free to heaven. But don't ever underestimate how powerful your thoughts are. If this whole world of time and space is made out of thoughts that should give you an inkling of how powerful these thoughts are. The thoughts are behind the planets and the spheres. The thoughts are behind the galaxies and the black holes. The thoughts are behind the cosmos of time and space. So he's just telling us in 132 that illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. If your thoughts are riveted on the ego, you will find an imaginary world of time and space that God didn't create and it will seem as if that world is real, because your thoughts are telling your mind it is real. And if you focus on the light, if your prayer is God, show me the light, show me the light, then those thoughts will take you directly to the light. They're that powerful. A madman thinks the world he sees is real and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by questioning his thoughts effects. It is but when their source is raised to question that the hope of freedom comes to him at last. That's why he says seek not to change the world seek rather than change your mind about the world. He's telling us don't question the world. Don't don't question the Big Bang don't question science. Don't go questioning your your priest or your rabbi or questioning your physics. Because the hope of freedom comes at last when you raise your thoughts and your questions to the source in your mind to the light, and then these crazy thoughts will disappear. Yet his salvation easily achieved for anyone is free to change his mind and all his thoughts change with it. You change your mind and every thought that there ever was in all of time and space is changed with it. Your mind when your mind changes, then your entire perception of the world changes with it. Now the source of thought has shifted for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think, or ever thought, or yet will think. You free the past from what you thought before you free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find. Clearly, Jesus is saying to find the light we have to go deep into the present moment. We will not find the light in the past or the future. The past and the future are part of these private thoughts that generate this private world, and the world this is a world that doesn't have any true meaning. So, as I take you right now into the movie, our main characters are our two. We have Lincoln. His name, or if you get used to this name Lincoln six echo. That's, that's our hero. We have a simple name like Fred or something. No, Lincoln six echo and his female counterpart in his awakening partner is Jordan to Delta. Lincoln six echo is played by you and McGregor and Jordan to Delta is played by Scarlett Johansson. Yay, you and a scarlet major contribution for us to help us wake up. Amazing. Amazing. It's like Lucy's coming, coming into clone world to show us how to get to the light. Some of you might have seen the movie Lucy. She is this ground little girlfriend into the light of heaven. So, there are some other characters in it there's one called McCord, and he's a very funny kind of a, he plays in the clone world and the sponsor world but he's a helper he turns into a helper. And then there's Laurent. The French name Laurent, I can say that word Laurent, like the French Laurent is he's kind of a former seal he's like a security, he's supposed to go out and, and chase down the escaped clones, the escape. Another word for clone is product. That's a, that's a good word because sometimes don't you feel like a product, like a product of mom and dad or a product of society, or a product of past conditioning, or a product of your family or your circumstances and environment. That's what the clones are called by the maker of the clone is a product loose. That's the word product. And it's good you shouldn't. Why would you want to be a product when you're a holy child of God created by an eternal creator, you're far beyond a product for sure. But, and then we have Dr. Merrick. Now Dr. Merrick is, he seems to come from sponsor world and he seems to be lives in clone world but he has no I, he doesn't even care about going to the island because he's just symbolizing the ego or the devil. He knows that the island's not real. He's made up the island to try to keep the clones in order in cloneville, and Dr. Merrick. He's into control. He's definitely into the medical model. He's, he likes to think he's saving lives by saving bodies, even though the ego projected out all the bodies. He loves lies. He's always lying. He's singularly always lying. Whatever he's saying or doing he's lying. That's why I call him an ego character. And, and also Laurent will point out to him that he has a God complex. Go Laurent. Yes, it's true the ego does have a God complex. The ego believes it is God, and it's replaced the real God. And now the ego says I rule things. The ego says I brought you into this world and I'm going to take you out. I mean it's, it's like behind the whole artificial world of time and space is definitely behind cloneville. So, just remember that beyond consciousness is the light of truth. That's our prayer today, Holy Spirit. Jesus, use this movie to help lift me up where I belong above consciousness and as the living light of truth that you created. That's our prayer. When we follow this movie we will see the characters acting out this prayer to be free of control and to be free of false identity so enjoy the movie. And remember it's Lincoln six echo, and it's Jordan to Delta. It's hard for me to remember long names. I like Fred, but Lincoln six echo and Jordan to.
