 Welcome to our all-day movie workshop. I'm Peter. I'm going to be your host today. And for those of you who are new here, I'll let you know how the day will flow. So we're going to start with a movie from David. And then afterwards, we're going to have some breakout rooms to share what came up for us during the movie. And then later in the day, there will be a closing session to get in touch with all the themes that came up. So to start with, I'm going to pass it over to you, David. Thank you, Peter. Welcome, everyone. Beautiful to see you. Glad you can join in with us and take the ride today. We are going to have a beautiful healing day. I can just feel it. Very strong healing moving through. And the tip-off for me was for some of you that are doing the Course in Miracles lessons along with the calendar. Today is day number 121. So we have such a beautiful Course in Miracles lesson to launch us into this day of healing. And the workbook lesson is, forgiveness is the key to happiness. So I thought I would just read the very beginning of that lesson because it's what a beautiful way to launch us all into the day with these beautiful words from Jesus. Here is the answer to your search for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a world that seems to make no sense. Here is the way to safety in apparent dangers that appear to threaten you at every turn and bring you bring uncertainty to all your hopes of ever finding quietness and peace. Here are all questions answered. Here the end of all uncertainty ensured at last. So what a beautiful way to begin our day of healing. And our movie poll this week gave us some excellent themes to dive into the healing. And the combined poll of both Spanish and English, the top theme was unworthiness versus embracing the power of the mind. And then in second place facing abandonment and rejection. And then in third place letting myself fall apart. Are you ready to join me in that today? Letting myself fall apart. If your friends or neighbors said what did you do on Saturday? I was just watching a movie and letting myself fall apart. And then finally letting go of the belief in sacrifice. So that's a big one. That's a big one for healing. So the movie that we have that is going to allow us to go through and into the depth of healing with those themes is the original What the Bleep movie. I believe it was from like 2004. And I like a movie that that has character transformation. It has a bit of a plot, which is healing and spiritual awakening. And it also has a lot of beautiful teachings on quantum physics, which I think is a modern day term for forgiveness. Back in the time of Jesus, there was no quantum physics as we know it today. That's more of a 1900s and 2000s philosophy and science that has come along. But some of you have heard about my book, Quantum Forgiveness, Physics Meet Jesus. I had a friend in Europe who was not too happy with that title. She called me and she said, why does physics need to meet Jesus? And she was going to translate my book. And so I said, well, it doesn't have to. But I think it would be a fun meeting. And then she actually did quite a few chapters, but then the file got lost or corrupt. I think corrupted. So there was some resistance, which is which is not unusual in Europe, considering the Crusades and what was it, the Spanish Inquisition. And there was a lot of things that happened in Europe that were kind of like, no, that we don't like that, that brand of God or Jesus. Science. So quantum physics. But I feel like, in one sense, that the quantum field that is pointed to by quantum physics is the same as the happy dream or the forgiven world. And Jesus is the representation, is that experience. So it's kind of just a joke of physics meet Jesus. It's kind of catchy though, you have to admit, but they've already met. In fact, they've never been apart. Any of you who know physics and have gone deeply into physics know that it points to the nature of the connectedness, that it's all energy and it's all connected. And it's all one. It's all unified. And of course, that's what Jesus points to and all profound spiritual pathways and philosophies all point to the same place. So we don't have to worry about them meeting. They've never been apart. They're the same one. And this movie is good because it starts to give you a flavor of some of these beautiful quantum teachings in the context of relationship and healing. So I think a lot of times people think of science and spirituality as somehow being kind of divorced, or they're just different categories that talk about different aspects of our experience. But I found that deeper I went, everything was connected. And I was quite delighted by the teachings of quantum physics. There was a physicist, quantum physicist from Australia, who his name was Paul Davies. I remember reading something that he was writing. And basically he came out with the words in his book, there is no world. And I was like, ah, yes, identical to a course in miracles lesson 132 word for word from a quantum physicist and from Jesus in a course in miracles. And I said, of course, they're talking about the same thing that that what seems to be a physical world isn't really physical. It's just a projection of images. And it seems to in distorted perception, it seems to take on a solidity. And that's where we have an interesting word called matter. And basically quantum physicists are saying matter isn't what it seems to be. It's not really a thing. It's like a potentiality. And it's basically, in course, in miracle terms, it's a perception. And perception is not reality. Images are not the light that is beyond the images. And matter actually doesn't matter. I was thinking about that the other day. That matter doesn't matter because it isn't the unified spirit. And that is what matters, so to speak. That's what's important is the light that we are, not what we appear to be in this distorted world. So I like a movie that has shows healing going on. The actress Marlee Matlin is playing our main character in the movie. And she's going to go through a transformation. And one of the things I really like about this movie is that as we watch the movie progress, we can see that her partner committed an act of infidelity. And she walked in on it. And so she has this horrific memory of, she's interpreting abandonment and rejection. That is in her mind and it's clouding her life. She's not able to go forward. Even her boss at one point says you hate men. And that memory of that act of infidelity has clouded and filters through in her perception of the world. And it's shown very directly in this movie. And so it's interesting that a movie would use the context of quantum physics of beginning to question what you believe is true. And ultimately was what I experienced and what I perceived, was it the truth or was it just a misperception that I can let go of? And so this is a really core idea because when you look at the world, you can be tempted to perceive the world through the lens of the ego, which is unfairness, abuse, mistreatment. You can tell if you look at the world through the ego's lens, you will seem to get angry and frustrated. You will, if you perceive through this faulty distorted perception, this faulty lens, you will feel shame. You will feel pain and suffering. And you will feel unworthy if you are looking through the ego's faulty filter. It's what the Bible talks about in Corinthians. Looking through a glass darkly is what it says in the Bible. And that's what I'm talking about. And now we're starting to realize that all of the physics that most of us grew up with when we studied it in high school was Newtonian physics. And basically it was based on empiricism and it was based on an external world. And back in the day of Isaac Newton, he was trying to find answers to how the world works. And he came up with a whole system. The only problem was that in that system, in that equation of what we call Newtonian physics, there was no mention of consciousness. And it really was no mention of the mind. And it's difficult to come up with something when you don't include the very mechanism, the very foundation of the perception. So, you know, we have very famous laws and physics that came from Isaac Newton. For every action, there's a reaction. And we have studied things like gravity and different fields and vectors and different aspects that have been very helpful in things like building buildings and building bridges and making something out of matter. I was going to say making a mess, but I reminded Jesus, well, it's much to do about nothing. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. You got to have something if you want to be with me. You know, Jesus is always like, don't forget, there is nothing to matter with matter. The matter is not the problem. Matter is not the heart of the matter. Spirit is the heart of everything. Light is reality. Light is unconditional love. Light is wisdom. So this movie gives us all a chance to kind of dive down the rabbit hole. As Fred Allen Wolf says, he invites us to jump into the rabbit hole with him and find out for ourselves. So we're on a journey with Jesus today to find out for ourselves our innocence. We find out that whenever we perceived was done to us, whatever we thought was like, you done me wrong, we were mistaken because we really haven't been done wrong ever. And that is a wonderful thing to experience that nothing has ever gone wrong. That we simply misperceived the world because we believed in the ego. And the ego is the error. Some people say, well, is the ego Satan? Is the ego the devil? Well, it's an error that has already been corrected. So for us, the question is only, will I accept the correction or will I deny the correction and try to continue to live in hell, the illusion of hell? Really happiness is our birthright and that's our workbook lesson today. Forgiveness is the key to happiness. But forgiveness, as Jesus teaches us, is seeing that what we perceived happened to us has in truth never occurred. It was a distortion of belief that has no reality whatsoever. In the quantum field, everything's connected. And what we're realizing is that the projected world is of separate images and separate time and separate space and linearity. All of that is the distortion. So we don't have to buy into that distortion anymore. But in order to see our true light and our true worth, we have to let it go. We truly have to let it go. So this movie is a very good eye-opener in terms of letting go of our faulty perceptions. This movie will still use metaphors from the world. For example, the brain. The brain is talked about a bit in this movie. Neurotransmitters are talked about peptides in the body. The chemistry of the body, so to speak, is talked about. From a course in Miracle's perspective, I want you all to remember that those are also projections. The brain, the gray matter of the brain, is a projection of the wrong mind. The neuropeptides that Joe Dispenza talks about and Ramtha and so on and so forth. These are scientists in the movie. Some of them are medical doctors. Some of them are scientists. Some of them are quantum physicists. But they are giving us reflections and symbols as if there's still something in matter that matters. It's still an attempt to understand using the material universe. And Jesus has told us quite clearly you will never understand this world. In fact, his first lesson is nothing I see means anything. So you know he's going in a different direction than peptides and neurotransmitters. But I think the quantum physicists are just so cute. They remind me of like the hummingbirds at my house. They're just so cute. They're buzzing around and they're all excited and they get so enthusiastic. And I like Fred Allen Wolf with his hair. I like that white hair, you know, where at the end of the movie he's going to be throwing his white hair around like Einstein did with his hair. And he's saying, don't take my word for it. Try it for yourself. Find out for yourself. Don't you love somebody that says find out for yourself instead of somebody that's trying to pontificate and tell you some point of view that you have to believe in. I think these quantum physicists are beautifully open and curious in their attempt to discover the truth. I adore these quantum physicists. And of course this is just the beginning of their journey. So we need to remember that these are beautiful symbols of the beginning of a scientist's journey to know the creator. And that's a beautiful thing. We should be celebrating that. I did see a documentary a few years ago where a group of they invited people from all over the world, you know, scientists and doctors and philosophers to go on a trip to India and to meet the Dalai Lama and have a conference with the Dalai Lama. So all these amazing professionals took a trip to India and of course they had to take long train rides. It was hot. They were all sweaty. By the time they made it to where the Dalai Lama lives, they were pretty much rung out, you know, like they're used to probably hotels and air conditioning and limousines or cars. But India is a whole new beast when you've lived in the Western world and you take a trip to India. Oh my God. So I saw there, there was a couple of, there was a number of scientists from this movie that were all there. Fred Allen Wolf was there and some of the other ones. And they started getting into arguments. They were pushed way out of their comfort zone. And this is, I could see Jesus was laughing like, okay, now we'll show you how deep the rabbit hole actually goes beyond the theories. See how you do in India with your quantum theories, you know, let's see how you do in India. And Dalai Lama met them and they had beautiful open discussions. I love that kind of stuff. I think, it reminds me of the ancient Greeks, you know, Socrates and Plato and all the Socratic dialogues where people would come together and have a sense of openness and curiosity. And they would say, what do you think? And then they would each listen to each other and try to go find the truth based on openness, based on a sense of let's join together to find something that shows we're connected. I think I feel the same spirit of that in this movie. And some of you know, it wasn't too long ago where I showed the sequel to this movie called Down the Rabbit Hole. And so we're going to watch the original now, which has a little more of a plot to it. I think Marlee Matlin, we get to really get a sense of her, the character she plays in this movie. And she's searching. She has insecurities. She has self-worth issues. She has betrayal, abandonment, rejection issues going on under the surface. She's a bit angry at the world and angry at men and she's not happy. And so the movie will take us on a journey where she gets to come and contact on a subway system with Dr. Emoto's water. I guess there were photographs of molecules after they'd been blessed and showing the power of consciousness and the power of the mind even reflected in photographs of distilled water. And there's many other quantum experiments that are talked about in here by various teachers of quantum physics. Of course, this has a lot of the great quantum physics teachings on superposition. For people who first study that, they're like, what is this superposition? And it's like, there's a little boy who has a basketball and they use that basketball to teach the concept of superposition. The basketball is potentially in any number of positions, potentially. And then when the mind decides based on its conclusion or based on its decision of its beliefs, then the basketball appears to be in one place. But we hear in this movie that atoms are not what we have believed they are. We used to think that atoms were things. They were very tiny things. They were the building blocks of matter. And this movie starts to show us that atoms are just potentials. And what we perceive as people and places and things and objects in a material world are just projections of our mind. And our consciousness has seemingly put them in places and locations based on a conclusion that we make in our mind. It's not based on reality at all. What does that teach us that no two people see the same world? Ultimately, because there's no two people. But let's roll it back a little bit there. Because people say, wait, oh, David, you lost me there. Okay, there aren't different perspectives of this world. There really is only one mind and there's only one world. And in fact, in A Course in Miracles, in the Manual for Teachers, Jesus is asked, how many teachers of God will it take to save the world? That's a really good question. And his answer is interesting. One. That would be like saying how many angels fit on the head of a pin. And now how many teachers of God will it take to heal the world, to save the world? And then Jesus says, but that one is not a body or in a body. So there goes our personal savior, you know, that Christianity always said, Jesus is the personal savior. No, that one that saves the world is not a body or in a body. That one is spirit. And of course, that has to be the saving grace. Just our remembrance of our spiritual nature saves the world. You don't have to worry about who's the avatar, who's the messiah, who's the savior. You know, Jesus comes out, has a workbook lesson, the salvation of the world depends on me. But he's not talking about your personality self. So don't go to the street corner and say, I am the messiah. Unless you're totally identified with spirit and it's true, then by all means, go to the street corner and say, I am the messiah. You see, Jesus actually meant it when he said, I and the Father are one. Jesus actually meant it when he said before Abraham was I am. That was the Holy Spirit speaking. That was an actual fact. So he wasn't boasting. In fact, spirit doesn't even know what boasting is. Boasting, what's a boast? Spirit just is what it is. So this movie is a treat because we're going to go on a healing journey with the backdrop of beautiful quantum physics. And then I'll come in from time to time as I am inspired when I start to burst in happiness, I'll have to break into the movie. And it's relatively long movie. So to make sure that you actually have dinner tonight, I will try to refrain myself from too many insertions into the movies. Otherwise it'll be like, what the hell? I missed lunch and dinner with David today. And now he's got me being a yogi. He's got me on some kind of a yogi diet. But I hope you'll be as enthralled as I am with this movie. And I hope your heart will burst open when you watch this movie. So enjoy the movie.
