 You know, we've been raised with cliches like love makes the world go round, but deep we go into the metaphysics We find out that it's fear and guilt that's been in this world It's not so romantic as love makes the world go round. It's actually fear and guilt and Instead of trying to find happiness in the world. We realize we have to go inside go within us to find it We find it. That's where the love is and through forgiveness This world is backwards and upside down and So, you know fear and guilt are magnified in this world and random acts of kindness You know, you don't ever see them on the news In Dark City, they kind of just scrape away the top layer of the world. It's a dark world If you took all the ice cream way If you took a lot of the the glitz and glamour and the oolala and you kind of stripped it bare It would be a pretty dark world Sleep, the inhabitants all are put to sleep much like if you look at the human race, you know And we'll say six, seven, eight hours of sleep every night and the dreaming, you know It's like there's a lot of aspects that are very parallel to this world There's a lot of use of the symbols of spirals and Jesus actually talked to Helen Shuckman At one point, he didn't put it in his course, but he said time is like a spiral You know, you descend down into a spiral and when you get close enough to the mind, you can see the continuity But when you step back from it, it looks like segments, like if you were looking at a spiral from the side But if you get close enough to it from the right perspective, you can see the continuity of it That it's not broken at all. Ego breaks everything up into, you know, minutes and seconds and days and weeks and years and Decades and centuries and millennium and so forth, but that segmenting factor is just part of the ego's misperception It's very much about memories, so You know, we have concepts in this world called reincarnation where it seems like you incarnate and reincarnate and it's a different person, with different life circumstances, different memories and so forth In this movie, it's more like the dark ones are using or purposefully using these false memories and mixing them around among the inhabitants To make everybody confused about their identity So everybody thinks that there's something that they're not Pretty similar to the world, the ego, making up all these false memories, and then people arguing and debating about their What's true? What do you believe? What do you believe? And everybody has these memories Basically, this is an upside-down world in this movie and the mind always has the power to To forgive or to have everything healed, which in one sense is like this world is dark because it's turned away from the light It's like the back of my hand Over here is the shadow side and it would be like living over on the shadow side and Then when you can invert your mind from upside down to right side up Then everything that was in darkness is fully brought into the light And it's a whole new world. I mean the same world was just perceived completely different when it's bathed in light So the first time when I saw this movie, it was pretty dark all the way through But of course the ending is is the forgiven world is actually Taking it all the way through to turning the world right side up back toward the light instead of away from the light So It was spectacular. I remember this city this theater for close to two hours with all this darkness and All of a sudden the light was almost blinding. It was so beautiful at the end of the movie. It's just really spectacular Another thing is that there's one of the main characters who's an inspector and He's trying to use the typical analytical ways that That's loose and detectives in this world try to figure out what's happening like crime There's a crime and people investigate to try to find out who was the perpetrator and so forth Of course, that doesn't get into the mind or metaphysics. And so there's really no answer You know when we try to find who committed the crime. It's just Verifying the belief in victimization that some people steal and murder and so forth and some people are victims and then that just keeps the guilt Recycle and going on and on. There's one inspector in here though that seems to be going crazy because he's investigated so deeply That he's realized that there's no way out That there's no way to escape this world and Jesus talks about this in his course where he says You know men have died upon seeing that all of the roadways of the world lead to death But if they had taken the next step their learning could have led the heights of happiness In other words forgiveness is the lesson that your mind can grasp once it realizes that there's no hope of finding it in form And you're turned inward to your mind where the kingdom of heaven is and then it's blazing light and and that's The sooner the better. Otherwise, you're just kind of going around in distractions. So That's another aspect of this movie and I think it's really a good movie. It just is a mind-watcher People tend to talk about violent movies. This this probably would be classified as a violent movie psychologically Movie, although I always tell people that that violence is in the mind and so It's the judgments and the opinions that you hold on to that is the violence and then the ego even projects That out as if we have violent movies so it seems like the murder and The torture and all these kind of things are are happening in the world when it's really the ego belief itself Is the murder and the torture and it's just disguised itself So it seems like there's things that are violent and non violent but really forgiveness and peace of mind is non violence and judgment is Is what the violence is so this is a good mind-watcher movie aside from having really great metaphysics and Having a lot of insights into into the how to escape from the world by facing the ego and pulling your mind away from it This movie has You might say dark ones Jesus talks about in his Course in Miracles attack thoughts. I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts. Well, these attack thoughts are dressed up in long black gowns almost and they kind of float through the sky and And they're really single-minded there. They're just into death destruction and sleep They're always going up to the inhabitants of kind of putting their hand over their face going sleep And that's basically if the ego is acted out in your life That's what it wants you to do is sleep sleep kind of like cover your face and all of the Venge vengeance murder It's always trying to interpret everything from its point of view. It's quite single-minded That's why you can't really make friends with the ego because you can't Really make friends with the death wish You can just expose it and release it But you can't ever like to be friended because it literally wants you dead once your mind to be caught up in guilt forever in its own terms, you know in Immortal guilt would be something that the ego would what sponsor even though it doesn't know what immortality is the other thing is The one who starts to wake up in this movie is You might say he's kind of got Psycho kinesis powers, you know, he he has the ability to manifest so we're back to that manifesting idea And here's one they call it tuning when you can manipulate form with the power of the mind then you can tune Why is that important? in in spiritual terms when people can seem to to Manifest things like Saibaba with the race bracelets or jewelry Or people can seem to bend spoons Or do things like that, you know, that's just a sign of the power of the mind Even though it's kind of the small little sign bending a spoon Considering that the mind is capable of make making up a whole cosmos When ego is there bending a spoon is not such a big deal, but for human beings, it seems like a big deal Some of you might have saw the movie powder Where he starts having spoons dance on a table and these bullies are just absolutely Terrified their mouths off when these spoons start dancing around and he's using some of his psycho kinesis power in this movie The main character starts to realize that he has these powers to tune as they say to manipulate Physical form with the mind
