 I was just thinking, when you go to a puppet show, you see the puppets, you see the puppets of the Mary and Ness, but you don't, if it's one of those shows where the puppeteer is out of sight, you don't see the puppeteer. And that's what the unconscious mind is, it's the puppeteer, and then what seems to be going on the surface of consciousness is the puppet show. And that's why it's so disturbing, because it can be like you're watching a puppet show and going, I don't like that at all. What I'm seeing, I don't really like that, but you don't see the puppet master underneath. And so it seems even doubly scary because you can't seem to control it. And that's what's so good about this movie tonight is Simone, the whole movie shows that something's made up and then it goes out of control, completely out of control, that this character Simone seems to be generated and then is more of a representation of Al Pacino's main character's thoughts. You know, he kind of makes her up, but she seems to take on a life of her own. And so basically the world has been given away. You could say that that's when you look at the world, it's what you gave away, tried to give away. There's a part really back at the back of the text where Jesus says you've got like a two-tier self-concept going on. The dreams that you dream in secret and the dreams that you gave away. Everything on the surface of consciousness is the dreams that have been given away. And then that's just a mass covering over the dreams that you dream in secret, which are really dark. They're really black. They're the death wish. That's why the top tier was made. That's why the whole top tier was made because it didn't want to see what lies beneath. You might remember that there was a movie called What Flies Beneath where Michelle Pfeiffer goes through the whole thing and she's perceiving all these scary things happening, but you think she's got at least one alliance, one dear friend, her love, her life, her husband. And they cast Harrison Ford, which is perfect because he's always a good guy. And it turns out he's not at the end. It's like that Angelique Jolina that you were going to watch for the suspect when he comes out. But that's really so when the mind is upset by what is judging in the forms. It's just, it's projecting and it's afraid of a world that's out of control now. And it's not really acknowledging what lies beneath. It's not really acknowledging the subconscious mind. Tonight's the last Republican debate, so this is the last time that Trump will be on stage. He's having a field day with the down in Las Vegas of all places. The circus moves to Las Vegas. But I just saw a little clip online where there was this award show or some kind of show honoring somebody and it was this Saturday night. They got Tina Fey to come, just said, Lauren Greenfield said, come, just come and we'll have you do something. When she got there, they said, no, we're not really going to have you. Just watch the show, just sit in the audience and watch nothing for you to do. She sat down and then she, when she sat down, she looked right behind her and Donald Trump was right behind her. And she just was like, because she just saw, she's watched a TV and she's always talking back to the TV like, just shut up and no, just leave the Mexicans alone and you know, she's always really going at it. But then when she sees behind, she's just like, oh, hi there. She squealed, she said, oh, a big hypocrite. She said, but then she thought, why do I, why do I am I so cordial when I'm blasting away at home? And it was this, it was a self-concept thing again. She said, we both had the same baby nurse, Donald Trump and her had the both the same baby nurse. And all she could think of is if I'm, if I get into a feud with Donald Trump, then the baby nurse will hate me. So it's the self-concept of concern. She can blast away, people do that all the time with the internet. They just blast all their comments, but if there's some kind of a threat to the self-concept, they feel that it could show them in a bad light, then they kind of cower. So she was calling herself a hypocrite. But in this movie, the main character, you know, he's a filmmaker, Victor Taransky, and he wants to get his film made. And his lead actress has a lot of preferences and a lot of wins and a lot of things. And basically, she basically walks out on him, so he wants to get his film made. But it's a whole movie that just shows the making of an image called a vector in this movie, a virtual actor. It's a computer-generated actor and then making an image. And that's like the characters that we're perceiving in this world that seem to be real people. They're like vectors. They're like generated from the unconscious mind just to act out everything. They do a great job. They're following the script. They're doing everything they were programmed to do. They're saying everything. They're doing everything. They're feeling everything that they were programmed to do. But when you come in to try to go to peace of mind and have integrity, then it doesn't seem to work out very well as long as you believe the characters are real. If you see them, it's just thoughts, and you're more likely to just be able to let the thoughts go. But as long as they're external characters doing things to you, acting on you, acting, reacting, responding, with will of their own, with the mind of their own and whatever, then that's the state of sleep where you seem to be at the mercy of external forces and external people. And it's very much like in Solaris when they go to Solaris because they're not whole people. They're just what you gave them. All they are is how you remembered them in the unholy instant. They really have nothing. These figures don't have anything to do with the Christ. They have nothing to do with reality. In fact, Jesus calls them shadow figures. He actually calls people shadow figures, which is acting out the past. Past hurts, past grievances, past ones, past desires. My friend Rested got a song from the Angels called Shadowland. And the Angels, the chorus says, Where nothing lives and nothing dies. Where nothing is, there's only lies in Shadowland. So nothing lives, nothing dies. It's just the images, and it's like a, just a, it's an unreal dance. It's not, it's not really there. That's the lesson I was reading today after I read the text. It's lesson 132 where Jesus comes right out and says, There is no world exclamation point. First, there is no world apart from what you wish. There is no world apart from ideas. And then there is no world exclamation point. All of them are in that lesson 132. So I think it's good that actually this movie is one of the classics. I was telling Nikita, Nikita is going to familiarize herself with this one for teaching purposes. But it's, it's actually a classic because it has so, so much of the dynamics all in the movie. And I would say it's a comedy. You know, this is Pacino comedy at its best. See, there's a lot of movies where like the devil's advocate, he played quite a devil. And then the scent of a woman. The recruit. Yeah. The bad guy. The bad guy. But in this, it's, he's, he's playing a character who's kind of caught where something gets generated and then it goes completely out of control. And then it goes all the way through to the healing. Like Michael was sharing that we're fine with fake dead. Just don't lie about it. Like the Holy Spirit saying to the sleeping mind, I'm fine with fake. Just don't lie about it. Just don't keep it concealed. That's why we have our expression sessions is not to conceal what was made. Because if you conceal it, you believe that it's true. That's why you conceal it. But if you're willing to expose it, then that means you're willing to be shown that it's not real. And that's the end of the guilt. So I think this, yeah, this movie is very appropriate. We really hadn't picked a movie for tonight and then a friend of mine, Shia, who's a singer in New York City, sung at UN in Altoniv, she sent me her version of a Rita Franklin song, Natural Woman. So that's why we're watching a movie. That was a clue from the Holy Spirit. You make me feel like a natural woman. So you'll see how that gets used at the end. See, that's hilarious. That's part of a concert that Simone does in the film. It's amazing. Okay, so we'll just roll it over to our classics. Even the Angels in the beginning singing here. Your car will be ready in just a minute, Mr. Transky. We gave you complimentary car wash. Really? Yeah, they're cleaning the engine now. So he's making adjustments. He's not telling the truth. And then he's talking to himself and justifying everything. And now at the press, value her privacy. He speaks for her. And, you know, just like we watched the adjustment bureau, now we're going to watch the guilt just go through all these adjustments to try to perpetuate the lie. And then you think of the rest of the song as if, as if there is no world. Some of you have heard that song and Helena did it as well. But there's a line in there, no longer will I try adjusting to a lie. Every time there's struggle going on psychologically or there's guilt or whatever. The guilt is being kept in the unconscious mind and then adjustments are being made, justifications, compromises. The mind is so terrified of the love and the light that it believes that there's an out of control lie. And then there's been thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions of lies on top of the lie. Like in the layers of dreaming and inception, layer upon layer upon layer until you forget that you're dreaming. You need a giant wake up call, lie upon lie upon lie until you forget the original lie. And then you go behind or underneath the original lie to find original innocence and spirit and love. So this is a classic movie because he's making movies with this generated character, this image. That's what's happening with these characters. These are characters in the part of a movie. They're being used by the mind and the reason the character seems shaky is because the unconscious mind underneath it is shaky. And now we'll see, you know, you saw him running away from the press. The press is asking his questions. He's talking about privacy. And when he's even there talking to the computer, he's drinking. He has his guilt. He's still perpetuating a lie, but he kind of likes the fame that goes along with it for Victor Teransky. So it's all this pride that's keeping up this game of adjustments. But it's going to get more and more hilarious. I've never seen a movie that shows the dynamics of what's going on in the mind. And then it just carries it out so extremely that you can see it in a humorous way, see what's going on. So watch how he tries to justify and make, he tries to cover himself. Which is really, that's what happens in this world when you try to cover the guilt and hide the guilt and justify the guilt. And it gets into this cycle that seems to be out of control. We're going to see him acting it out for us on the big screen here, showing it to us. Victor! Notice how much he's trying to hide the fact. This is why we have our expressions. Our expression sessions because there's enormous effort to hiding guilt, enormous effort to hiding secrets. The only way they're ever healed is showing to be nothing is exposed. So here we go, another round. Now here comes his ex-wife and all the studio executives demanding, forcing their way into his little studio where he generates Simone. And he's just going to be forced again to either expose or come up with more ingenious ways to hide and protect. Alright, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's like a play. Product placement, it's image placement. You know, as a genius at moving the images around. You know, it's always trying to make things seem real that aren't real. And it's got to do that in order to protect itself from being exposed in the mind. So anything that makes the error real, makes the world seem real, is used by the ego. And it kind of, you could say it's very manipulative to protect itself from being uncovered. And there's a part of Victor, he's acting out representing this desire to be famous, to be known, to have attention, maybe wealth and all the things that go with the world. So he's just acting it out. And even though, you know, he's famous for playing the devil's advocate, he played quite a devil. This is more of a subtle devil. That was more of an overt devil. This is like, this movie is really showing how sneaky and subtle the devil is. Because he's always protecting and protecting and over-protecting and justifying. And that's where this kind of movie can really help you if you start to just take it in and go, wow, how am I trying to justify an identity in the world? How am I trying to be good? Even a spiritual identity, have a good spiritual identity. Please the people, please the characters, please the messengers and to maintain a good identity. You see, that's part of the trick as well, where this is just saying, watch in your mind and your thoughts if you're ever justifying anything. Because he's acting it out in a very subtle way. He's just, again, there was a big point where it could be exposed and he, you know, he says she's always in here and she's a computer. He got that far and then he threw an addict. See, the cover came in just with that word addict. As if she's a real person, still, and now she's an addicted person. The gorophobia, afraid of heights, afraid of germs. He just let them fill in the projection mostly. He said now you're getting it. Now you see how the ego is so clever, it just uses all this evidence to keep it going. So here we go, it's just going to get better and better from here on in too because he's not even close to stopping with all these justifications and all these covers. Just showing the extent of the ego. It's kind of cool, David, isn't it? Because the original idea was to try and control the actors. But it's already so out of control. Yeah, yeah, his own wishes, his own unconscious wishes and desires have come out. And now he hasn't quite, he's been a little bit afraid of the publicity. He's afraid of getting discovered of people finding out what he's been up to. But it hasn't quite got out of control. It's just beginning to get out of control with all the crowds and adulation and people following. But it's going to explode, which makes it even better to show how it's way out of control. And there's no way to, Jesus says in the rules for decision, you have no control over the world you made. This is a great movie for showing exactly what he means by that. Okay, here we go. Comedy Central. We appear to be having some satellite difficulties. There's always an explosion. They're making the Truman Show. They're complaining away. You know, the Truman Show and the light comes down. They say a plane is going by shedding parts. They're always justifying and explaining everything that happens in the Truman Show is if it's a real world, not just a set that's falling apart and they're just actors. So now insufficient memory. Oh, we're having technical difficulties. There's always ego. There's pumping, pumping the mind to say, no, no, it's really, it's really happening. You're a real person. It's a real world. There's real snow out there. There's real cold. It's real, you know, everything. It's real, real, real to protect itself from being uncovered. We just saw, we saw Meryl Streep in The Giver do the hologram performance and I said get used to it. Well, here it comes again. The hologram performance live at the Hollywood Bowl for the whole universe to watch. This is PR. It's just interesting. I'm just noticing, like, even inconsistencies. She's a gore phobic and all this stuff. Just like, yes, she's very tiring. Yeah, just noticing. He's always justifying. Now he's going to have her go in front of millions and millions of people even though he says she is a gore phobic and she's afraid of being with people. Now she's going to be out there. But he's always, it's a threat. They were saying, well, we'll take it to the press. We'll take these photos, false photos. So you see, fear will just do whatever it can to cover without any kind of integrity or inconsistencies. Now he's got her out. He's in his little sound booth. He's like the Wizard of Oz, you know, pulling the strings. You know, Toto has to pull the curtain and to expose the wizard. So he's been pretty ingenious at this point that not having the curtain pulled. But that's to come too. We'll see how that all goes. Split mind. You're going to say the same thing all over again. Very profound. He's starting to get in touch with his own self-hatred and his own frustrations and his own inconsistencies. You know, Jesus says in the Course, you never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own. So it's not talking about personal. It's talking about the mind. It's got a major split going on. It's got a major deception going on. It's trying to be something that God didn't create. So it's got a major authority problem, major hatred and very intense in the mind. And now it's starting to play out in his life where he's starting to feel that he's not so attracted to what he's doing now. He's starting to see what he's been doing. That's the hardest thing when the defense mechanisms of the ego start to get exposed. They tend to get turned on into self-criticism and self-blame. Like, how could I be so stupid? How could I be so foolish to leave God and trick myself to keep playing and to continue to keep playing these games with my identity? The mind starts to turn like into it, like a self-hatred. But then even that, Jesus says, until you are willing to look upon the full extent of your own self-hatred, you will not be willing to let it go. So he's just getting closer now in the movie to the point where he started to get a little more willing to look at his own self-hatred. Because before he was just drinking and justifying and distracting. And now the game has gone on so long that it's like it's starting to get frustrated. He actually still loves his daughter and he still loves his wife. But he's kind of got caught up into this whole Simone thing and now his daughter is even reflecting it. I want the old Victor Transky back. It used to be about the work but now it's about her. So she's reflecting back that he's lost his way. And his wife wants him back and he kind of wants her back but he's got this hatred coming up. So we'll see what he tries to do with his hatred here. We'll pause it here because he's actually going to make his first attempt at exposing what's going on. But if you put all this energy into fake and projections, how is it when you first try to tell your mother and your father or your daughter that you're the Christ? How does it go? They don't believe you. The projections have been so heavily reinforced where you've been playing little, playing small, playing a fake ID that now when you first start to expose what you've been doing and you start to try to make an actual connection, the projections are so thick that they doubt that you're telling the truth. They doubt what? At the least. They doubt or they attack. When you've put all this energy into this and you try to withdraw your mind from it and go reverse if you've been going forward with the projection. So this is pretty good because he's actually starting to fall in love with Elaine. He wants to come clean and he's going to try to come clean. I did this with my mother one time and it went very similar to this. Years ago. You can watch how it goes with Elaine here as he tries to spill the beans and be authentic. That's right out of the course. What you think you've made you believe is made you. But the mind makes the ego and then forgets and then has a projected the world that's given away in which you seem to be born to parents in which the world, mom and dad, sperm and egg, make you. You see how it's all reversed. It seems like the projection made who you are. But all this stuff about making the ego and doing this whole shift of identity, forgetting your eternal reality and making up a false self, that's all happened in mind. That's been pushed out of awareness. That's the unconscious mind and then the story is mom and dad which country, United States, Russia, everything is backwards. That's why Jesus said who is my father, mother, sister, brother? He does the will of my father and Evan is my father and other sister brother. He saw that the whole linear time of genetics, of generations of everything is all part of the trick to protect the mind from knowing what it is that the Greeks talked about. Know thyself. This is an elaborate trick to guard against accepting yourself as spirit. It's a huge trick. And now he's just said I made her. He's really making his confession and sharing his guilty secret. I made her and she's going Victor. She made you. You are nothing without this actress. You see how it's all flipped around. But these are just acting out on the big screen. Some of the most basic core teachings have a course in miracles. And now he's going to start to get even more frustrated and angry because he's trying to come clean but he's having great difficulty coming so clean because he's condensed himself and everyone around him of the reality of Simone. And it's no different than the mind convincing itself of the reality of a person. And now it's got to go in the other direction. So it gets even funnier now. Now it's just beginning to warm up at this point. There's so much more to come. Like many people if they reach desperation they turn to murder and death or suicide as a way out because he's reached his frustration point. He can't seem to kill her career. He can't seem to come out because he says they'll all have defrauded millions so he's in a place of intense hatred and self-hatred and guilt. So now he kisses the he literally kisses the gravestone not another word. So now he's going to attempt the murder suicide attempt in his case a murder but this is just showing all the options. This movie is even showing how murder and suicide is not an option. That's not going to get you out of the guilt either. So it's just showing everything. It's her body of work Victor, Victor, Victor. The two meeting points, the two thought systems you can't explain. You can't explain this. You can only see it for yourself like in the Matrix. I can only show you the door. I can't walk through it. You just have to see this so bluntly and just walk right through it because there's no way to describe it and explain it to the world. Because the world is the belief that there is no spirit. So you can't really convey it. You can just let it come through you and come through you and demonstrate it but you can't really explain it in words. Now he's really reaching his breaking point because he's trying to become as clean as he can and they're going you're disposing of a body of a woman that doesn't exist and the camera, they've got to freeze frame of him dragging it. This is where it gets really hilarious. The freeze frame of that face. Like what do I do? What do I do? And look at the words underneath it. Why don't you just come clean? That's great that we've got subtitles on. That right there is a poster. That's a quantum forgiveness poster right there. Why don't you just come clean, huh? And look at his face. He's just like, what do I do? What do I do? And I don't. Not me. Find the thing. No, there it is. That's why we have our expression sessions. We're fine with fake, just don't lie about it. That's what the spirits keep saying every day. We're fine with fake. In other words, we know it can't bind you forever. Just don't cover it. Just don't bury it. You'll never be free of it if you keep burying it. So that was like the line in the whole movie. In fact, you could stop the movie right there. I've done that with certain movies that I remake. Or just stop it. But that's really like the big people. But it's funny, they do have a funny ending. So we'll watch the final movie. It's truly in the bind. It's like our presence is our life. And the rest, just symbols that people may approach and go, oh, look at this, I like this, I like that. But then nothing is what it seems. We're totally digital. We've gone digital. It says, I didn't know what was wrong with me, but there's nothing wrong. That's why this is a classic. Because it brings your mind back to that still point of realizing that the only guilt or shame or pain is still trying to maintain a lie. And this is just another permission to say, don't do that. You don't need to maintain an image. You don't need to maintain a facade or a mask or an act. I looked that up in the dictionary one time. The act is to impersonate the movement of the act. Very, very deep. It all works together for good. When there's no good movies at the theater that draw us, then we just draw upon the pool of the classics that remind us of what it's all about. It's like a mind rinse. Very profound. There's only one distinction, one tiny tweak in the mind that's required. And these movies are like just boom, just bringing that in. Just everything's funneling to one point. It's great. I couldn't tell what the thoughts were, but I was feeling just amazing. I guess what the movie was just spring forth. Just unsettling fear. Like this shaking. It's like I couldn't even relate to any thoughts. I don't know if it was really bringing it forward. It was a really good rinse. Yeah, it's whatever it takes for the mind to just snap, crackle, and pop. I was watching something on the news on my computer where Melanie Griffith who's married to Antonio Banderas she's like all people in the world seemingly getting older and aging and wrinkling and everything. But the seeming critics have been so vicious about her looks and everything just this and this. She was on a beach in Hawaii and she just snapped a photo of her legs and posted it on Instagram. And then they started right away. Ooh, ugly. Or those men's legs, you know, they started right in. But she just kind of just like saying, okay, say whatever you want. You could see that I could even see with her with everyone. Everyone's going to the same place of having to see the meaninglessness of beautiful, ugly, of form. Of judging form positively or negatively. What a beautiful case to be a Hollywood actress and then to go through what seems to be the aging process and then have people before where they were complimenting now criticizing and to start all of it just to see that none of it is real. How beautiful. I just have such an appreciation for the spirit just showing us that you can't really judge the form positive or negative. It's so beautiful. And there's no sense of should or ought to or have to. Some guy just wrote to me on Facebook a couple of hours ago just going, David, I just don't get this non-duality stuff. I just can't get it. Should I look for another path? And I just go back to him. I said, yeah, why don't you just go for anything that resonates with you. Love you. He went, thanks. That's it. It's all that. Go for something that resonates with you. Don't try to keep forcing even the word non-dual. You don't have to fit into a philosophy you just have to give yourself over to what really resonates. I think that's part of why that scent of a woman came in because I think the Petino character in that is pretty blunt and uncompromising. Direct. A little bitter. Yeah, he's got a little bit of it. He has a self-concept going. And then there's some bitter. The bitterness is getting washed out. So the bluntness is a good thing. That's how we all seem to end up. She came in talking about scent of a woman, al Pacino, then it kind of shifted over to natural woman, al Pacino. We just kind of followed the breadcrumbs. We don't have scent of a woman. And so I was like, we don't have scent of a woman. We don't have the other movie. Then my friend Shia just said here it was a Dropbox song for you, David, and she sent me. I said, what's this? And I tried to download it and I clicked and finally downloaded it. Natural Woman was the song that I got sent today. I said, I think that's a sign we're supposed to watch. What's this movie? Like, it's just all of life. Just let it drop in. Follow what resonates. Follow what resonates. And let it drop in. Let it make itself obvious. So different from the idea of having to plan out a future. Plan how it's supposed to go, how it's going to work out. That's why our whole programming was all plan, plan, plan. I even have a five-year degree in planning. I went to the university for five years to get a degree in planning and Jesus just laughed like, okay, now you won't ever use that. But yeah, it's whatever it takes to just come back to simplicity. Follow what resonates. Let it be given. And it's amazing, I think, it's all about healing in the mind and clearing the emotions. It doesn't have anything really to do with producing anything or achieving anything in the world or accomplishing anything in the world. It's like a skit, it's a stage. It's a stage for staging and the staging that's going on is healing in the mind. That's what's happening. That's all that seems to be there. That's all that is, I could say, tangible. Everything else seems so important in the world. Did you get it? Is it finished? Was it good? Did you succeed? It cares. That's all intangible. All those things are intangible. They don't have any tangibility, any essence, any substance. Are you happy? Are you peaceful? Are you joyful? Are you free? Tangible. That's essential. That's tangible. It's amazing. It's amazing. We had that a few years ago when Justin was here and they held all those protests that were spreading all around. Occupy and Lisa and Justin went down and filmed, made a little movie. Then it got nominated and was accepted into Sundance and everyone was, and then because of some technicalities it was subsequently rejected from Sundance and I was like, oh, the spirit's just like, did you get it? Did you get it yet? It's not about anything coming out good or right or bad or wrong but the spirit's been very gracious about did you get it? Did you get it with these movies with everything? Thank you all. Thank you.
