"G" Thru "P"

Gandhi- Defenselessness and nonviolence are attributes of Love. Love, reflected in this world, has the power to heal all division, for separateness is the illusion. It takes determination and persistence, but for those who stay the course and transcend all obstacles, inner peace is the reward. You can see it shining in the eyes of the peaceful, sparkling in their voice, and radiating in their smile. And most of all, those that follow the path of peace become wise and wholly gentle, for they live in the Heart of God.

Ghost- An attribute of Love is communication. Like Love, communication transcends the body and remains unbroken. In its wordless state, Love is synonymous with Communion, for in Light Everything is plainly revealed or Known. Love goes on and on forever, and this realization comes when the lesson of forgiveness is finally learned. There is nothing else.

Good Will Hunting- By opening the heart and learning to trust, we learn to let go of the past and thus release the "source" of all hurt, anger, and blame. We finally open to hear the gentle voice of love remind us over and over: "It's not your fault." Only the unconscious belief, the ego, sought to place a limit on the Beautiful, Magnificent Inner Being that yearns to shine and shine. We see the Inner Beauty when we are ready.

Grand Canyon- The world of dreams seems fragile and hostile and unstable until we learn to let the miracle into our experience. We slowly learn to accept Help, to follow inner hunches and prompts, and to trust in Something beyond the shifting, changing scenarios. If we harbor unconscious fear, fearful dreams and fantasies seem to surround us at every turn. Yet when we let go and follow the Inner Voice of Love, symbols of joy and beauty enfold us, and we see that there have always been angels watching over us. Who can judge images and dreams as good or bad, when there is One within that is above and beyond them all. The light shines on all the world from High Above.

Green Card- Out of deception and separate goals arise all tangled "special" relationships. Ego goals always produce a mask of union, for the belief in separate goals is always masked by a front. Yet the warmth of love grows and grows, and a new relationship emerges where there once was hatred and disgust. True love emerges at last in the light of truth when lies have been exposed.

Groundhog Day- The world of time repeats over and over and over in a loop in which there seems to be no escape. Routines and activities and rituals follow predictable patterns which seem to lead in endless circles back to themselves. The desire to get something back from others leads us on a fruitless search as we seek to overcome the void inside of us. And all attempts to escape this void seem futile. Yet when the desire to be Helpful awakens, the world is given a new purpose. Instead of focusing on escaping, we simply desire to extend and give love to everyone we meet. And with this change of purpose comes another way of looking at all the world, until we can finally say and mean "I love you." When we love from deep inside, without any conditions, limitations, or expectations, the Innocence of True Love Dawns. And as this light blankets the world, we suddenly realize that we are no longer bound by time. We are free in Love!

Harold and Maude- Like the movie "Something's Gotta Give," this movie shows that age and time have nothing to do with true Love.  Themes also include spontaneity, the nothingness of death, and the humor of letting go of concepts about what is "normal" and socially acceptable.  A holy relationship is centered in the Present Moment, and this is what enables the transcendence of ego rituals and traditions and dogmas.  Following the Spirit means playfully living in the Glory of Now.

He Said, She Said- Conflict in "personal relationship" is inevitable as long as perspectives are divided and variable. No two people see the same world or the truth inside until separate interests are laid by. When the ego enters a "relationship" competition, pride, possessiveness, and control come with it. Yet True Love prevails as light shines away darkness. And divided and variable perspectives give way to one perspective, forgiveness, in which the sameness and union become apparent. What God created One remains One. Love is a unified whole and knows no differences. Love knows no opposite.

Heart & Souls- Grievance is another name for unforgiveness or unfinished business. As we learn to Help, we are Helped. This is the way we transcend the world of limits. By opening our Heart, we see that we were never bound at all. By our willingness to accept our function of Helping, we find that we have no other. Our happiness and our function are one and the same!

Holy Man- In a world of advertising and sales and deception where the 'almighty dollar' is worshipped, Divine Innocence can break through and shine like a bright comet in the night sky.  Television seems to magnify the events and happenings surrounding a man on a mission.  So focused on his mission, the holy man brings lessons of authenticity and sincerity and honesty to the forefront for everyone he meets, and assists two friends in learning to trust their hearts and open up to the Love within.  With humor and grace and Divine Presence, holy man shows that Integrity transcends all deception and Love transcends all fear of intimacy.  A modern day parable on using everything for a Higher Purpose and laughing all the way!

Holy Smoke- The mystical experience of direct Union with God is an opening that will change the course of your earth experiences, sending you on a path of inward discovery toward forgiveness of illusion and Self-realization.  The ego doubt thoughts about Who You really are will seem to be reflected.  You are being Called out of the world, yet initially the people who seem to surround you and the person you believe yourself to be will offer conflicting testimonies.  A split mind draws forth conflicting witnesses, for it is unsure of itself and its purpose.  You cannot serve two masters: Love and fear.  As the goal of inner peace is firmly set the unconscious fears and guilt will rear up in awareness.  You travel inward through the darkness to the Light.  In the end it is clear to see that everything is a lesson in forgiveness.  Reality is discovered through forgiveness, acceptance, and willingness to experience What Is and Forever Remains the Truth: God's Love.

Horse Whisperer- Quiet inner strength comes with Integrity. Patience, gentleness, and tranquility transcend the busy distractions and fast pace of the world. With inner strength one can smile at the script, for no outcome can be fearful. And in the end there are no good-byes, for we are One Self. The smile on the rancher's face at the end of the movie reflects the essence of true inner strength. The wise accept things as they are and do not wish they were different.

Imagine- Imagine you're dreaming, and you forget you're dreaming. Thinking for a time that you're a rock star in a band that sweeps the land. Imagine being famous and wealthy. Imagine being adored and loathed, yet in the midst finding someone you could really share your heart with. Imagine being together, then apart, then together, then apart. And all the while sharing songs from deep within your heart. Imagine that there's no problem--only a Happy Solution. So in the end you remember to watch the wheels go round and round. You really love to watch them roll. You're no longer riding on the merry-go-round. You just had to let it go. Happily you gave the world an invitation: "I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as One."

It Could Happen to You- The world is full of fairy tales and miracles! A good, honest heart. A promise that is kept. A Destiny that could not be denied. Love prevails over fear and deception and greed, for the light shines bright in a heart made ready to give. And when we give the love in our heart, the whole world is in love. Gentleness, kindness, respect, and honor follow the pure of heart. It could happen to you!

It's a Wonderful Life- The world is a funny place. When we think we gain, we forget what we've always had. When we think we've lost and that the world would be better off without us, we forget that we gave it all the meaning it had for us. Then suddenly we have a change of heart and a miracle shows us all the love, all the love we have. And when we are filled with such wonder and gratitude for everything and everyone in the world, we see the love reflected everywhere. Love prevails again and again and again. Our cup runneth over!

Jesus of Montreal- As we commit to deepen spiritually, opportunities arise to put our faith in practice. The yearly "passion play" of the life of Jesus offers the chance to act the part for one actor, until the line between the "play" and "life" begins disappear. Likewise, in the mystical experience there are no differences and the "act" and "actor" disappear in the Christ.

Jesus of Nazareth- O come all ye faithful to a story of transcendence of the world of dreams. "I and the Father are One; before Abraham was, I am; the kingdom of Heaven is within; I am calling you out of the world; Be ye perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect; Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God." The story of Jesus is the story of Awakening and Enlightenment. It is a story for "all times," because it is a reminder of the eternal nature of our One True Self, the Christ, which is in and of God.

Joe Versus the Volcano- The Spirit awakens the sleeping mind through contrast experiences, beckoning the sleepy one to leave the past of limiting beliefs behind and trust that there is a better Way. All the world's asleep, and the Mind Awake is constantly Amazing in its Vastness & Grandeur! Nobody knows anything and thus the need for a miracle, a leap in faith beyond past learning and fear into the Glorious Light. The Light seems to blow the "little self" away! No matter what the apparent circumstances, One is always safely held in God's Love. All apparent sickness came from yielding to the suggestion of vulnerability and being at the mercy of the body and world. Such erroneous thought is like a "brain-cloud," obscuring natural spontaneity and aliveness. In trusting our Intuition and following our Heart, One sees the Reflection of the Light of God and its Magnitude.

K-Pax- A witness to a fairly advanced state of mind appears suddenly, and everyone he meets is touched in unexpected ways.  Yet even this visitor witnesses to the need for forgiveness of the belief that it is possible to be unfairly treated.  All Glory to God for creating Love Perfectly and as the only State of Being that there Is!  Forgiveness of illusions opens the door to Eternity.  How Beautiful is Spirit!  How peaceful and serene and Certain.

Kate and Leopold- True Love must wait until the desire for autonomy fades and vanishes.  Different worlds and different times and different cultures seem to be blocks to connecting, yet adventures lead to an inevitable leaping off point of trust.  Trust would settle every problem now.  Trust that you can let go of the past and experience safety and connection and acceptance.  Trust that you can seem to leave the goals and dreams of the world and share a happy dream that reflects deep Love.  Trust that when you leap you will land in the Heart of Love.

King of Hearts- This movie reflects the theme: "Who's the judge of what is insane?" In a world where war is seen as reality, defenselessness and laughter and joy are often diagnosed as symptoms of insanity. Innocence has a sanity which goes beyond the accepted beliefs of the world, and in the end one must decide whether to participate in the world or step out of it. This movie "royally" exposes the farce of the world and the hypocrisy of labeling "some" as insane. Who will cast that stone, when to believe in this world at all is really worth questioning? The Kingdom of Heaven is not of this world. The Kingdom of Heaven is within.

LA Story- Laugh at the idiosyncrasies and extremes of this world as the main character learns to trust and follow Guidance from an unusual channel (a freeway message board). A love story about following Guidance and letting destiny take its course. In the end the power of love prevails and reflects the strength and magnitude of our One Source. Never give up on Love!

Leaving Normal- A journey of trust and letting go of the past. Taking off on a trip and letting it unfold, learning and growing from "relationships" and encounters along the road. Our two main characters are so open to Guidance that they hold open a map and go where the bird droppings land on it! A movie about forgiveness and letting go of inner pain and expectations.

Let It Ride- A story of faith and trust and destiny. Intuition guides and with willingness to follow, our experiences lead to a further opening of Inner Guidance. Decisions flow from which inner voice we listen to (ego or Spirit) and our state of mind reflects the mind's allegiance to illusions or truth. Regardless of the world's appearances, when we follow the Spirit we are happy.

Lion King- A parable about being given a kingdom, then being tempted to look outside your kingdom, then believing a lie that you killed your father, then taking on the guilt and blame of the lie, then running away from your kingdom out of shame and trying to forget a past believed to be real. Finally you are called on to return and face and overcome the guilt of the past and remember your rightful inheritance in the present. The kingdom of our perception is bleak and dark if we hold onto guilt and shame. When we forgive our self and realize what we thought we did never happened, we remember the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Lion King II- Seeking again outside the kingdom results in the perception of war. The war ends when we remember that we are all the Same One, laying aside the belief that we are separate and different. Love brings an end to all conflict, for what is One looks on Itself with Love and sees no differences.

Little Buddha- The story of Siddhartha's journey to Enlightenment symbolizes the desire to transcend the cycles and trappings and temptations of the world. Birth and death, attraction and repulsion, success and failure seem to repeat over and over and over until they are seen as illusions. The Awakening occurs when the mind sees past the illusion of the body/world "self" and recognizes One Self as Spirit. The search ends in finding and experiencing One Self. Oneness transcends duality.

Little Princess- A little girl adored and loved by a father who sees all little girls as princesses appears to be separated from him. She undergoes harsh experiences during the time she seems to be without her father, but keeps her faith that she and all little girls are indeed princesses. In the end her faith and desire to join with other little girls is rewarded as she overcomes all doubts and hardships and is reunited with the father she thought she had lost forever. A parable paralleling the seeming "fall from Grace" and the inevitable Awakening to our True Identity in God.

Love Affair- A man vows to change his lifestyle and meet the woman he loves at a prearranged date on top of the Empire State Building. She agrees to meet him. They promise that if either doesn't show up they will get on with their lives without contacting one another. On the prearranged date, he shows up but she is hit by a car while en route to the building and seems to lose the use of her legs. She is too ashamed to let him know what happened, and doesn't contact him. But love and destiny bring them together as love and destiny bring us all together in God. When what we are ashamed of is revealed and brought to Light, the love in our hearts shines forth unencumbered. We are worthy of being loved regardless of the appearances of the world.  Have faith and never hide your deepest feelings of Love!

Made In Heaven- Those who are destined to meet will meet. As we follow our heart's desire, God's Divine Plan unfolds. As we desire to help, we are Helped. If we keep the faith through all the doubts, our faith is rewarded. For All of Heaven is offered us now. And If we are willing to open our hearts and minds to the light of love, we may experience the deepest prayer of our heart: A love that lasts forever!

Man Facing Southeast- A psychiatrist is brought face to face with his despairs and fears and perceived limitations through an encounter with a "patient" that is not of this world. Rantes, the patient/teacher/learner, is on an earth mission of compassion, and the "fellow patients" around him are drawn to his calm, healing presence. In the end the psychiatrist must decide, as each of us must decide, what/who is insane and what/who is sane. If the entire ego world is a hologram of insanity, only a mind given to (Spirit) forgiveness can find peace. Projection makes perception, and the mind perceives what it believes. The only way to let go of insanity is to stop believing in it by rising in consciousness to meet Truth. Love and Truth are One Spirit.

(The) Matrix- You are the One!  Free your mind from a world of control based on limitations and fear.  The matrix is everywhere, for the matrix encompasses all appearances and images you seem to perceive.  What if your were unaware that you were dreaming?  What if you could not tell the difference between the dream and the real world?  The Matrix is your seeming digital 'self,' a projected image of a mental construct called ego.  The matrix is a construct that can seem loaded with all sorts erroneous ideas of attack and defense.  One choice (ego defensiveness) leads to continued imprisonment for your mind and you seem to remain asleep and dreaming of the matrix.  One choice (Holy Spirit) shows you how deep the rabbit hole goes and frees your mind to forgive illusion and recognize Its Oneness, thus accepting your own Saviorship.  Follow the White Rabbit (Holy Spirit).  No one can tell you what the matrix is, you have to find out for yourself and be lead inward to the experience of your True Christ Self.  I can show you the door (forgiveness), but you have to walk through it.  You are the Savior of the world as you let your mind be free of the ego belief system and its limits.  There is nothing to fear.  Your Destiny is Certain.  You are the One.  No one can fail who seeks to reach the Truth.

Matrix: Reloaded- (Anomaly: the state or fact of being out of place, out of true, or out of a normal or expected position; deviation from the normal rule.)  Love is the only Law or Rule, since God is the only Source and God is Love.  Release from illusions is not found in war, but in forgiveness.  As long as there seems to be an 'enemy,' the Self remains unrecognized.  The architect of the matrix is the ego, and all seeming options and decisions and outcomes in form are part of the matrix.  Every decision is already made and there is no choice among illusions.  As long as you believe that there is some 'body' to fall in 'love' with or to 'rescue,' the matrix will seem to continue in sequel after sequel.  When there seems to be a construct to protect or save or defend, the belief in separation is still held dear.  Yet release is always available and, in fact, has already been accomplished.  You need but accept what is already Present.  Welcome Home!

Matrix: Revolutions- Battle gives way to acceptance and joining, a surprising simple Solution to the impossible situation called the matrix.  Atonement is the simple Solution.  The ego was the illusion of complexity.  The Solution cannot be found with the 'physical eyes,' yet the Inner Guidance of the Holy Spirit directs the way to the Certain Solution.  The overcoming of error is simply the awareness of its unreality.  Love is Real and Love has no 'opposite.'  In the end the 'architect's' game of error is laid aside and abandoned, because it was never real to begin with.  And the happy, bright world which forgiveness shows is bathed in Innocence.  The oracle of Truth and the child of Innocence rest side by side as a symbol of the forgiven world.  Peace and Light have spread across the matrix, and Now only the Light of Love is reflected throughout the whole tapestry.  It is true: You are the One.  Know Thy Self.  No one can tell you Who You are, You have to Know It for Your Self!  The matrix could never tell you Who You are, but the Voice for God is gently, ever Lovingly reminding.  You are the Living Christ, Beloved of God.  You are forever the One!!!

Minority Report- The topics of telepathy and time and events and choice are rich with insights.  Time and events were a prearranged script that is already over and done and must be seen as such (forgiven) for healing and peace of mind.  The ego's perspective is a lens of crime and abuse and deception and murder, and this lens or perspective is the error of death.  This lens sees time as real and unfolding, with events as real, and the past as different from the future.  Forgiveness exposes the entire time line as the lie, and offers the mind the choice of Atonement (seeing that the separation never happened).  Atonement is the gateway to the remembrance of Divine Innocence as a Perfect Child of God in Spirit.  Forgiveness is the option that transcends the insane desire for revenge that was based on the belief that mistreatment/death were real.  Forgiveness sets the mind free, for the mind has thus escaped the belief that it must run and hide or prove its Innocence.

Mr. Deeds- Deception in a relationship always gets exposed, sooner or later.  The lures of money and power and fame make deception seem like a small thing, and tiny "white lies" can seem add up.  Yet deception melts in the Presence of simple honesty, and Love remains Loving.  In the end only Love is real and Simplicity transcends all complexities and conflicts.  Ask that Life Be Simple and experience the Simple Answer.  Give simple honesty another chance, and watch the miracles unfold.

Mr. Destiny- The central problem of the world could be characterized as the belief that things would be better if circumstances in life or events of the past were different. The main character in this movie believes his life would have turned out better if he had just hit a homerun instead of striking out in the last at bat of his high school baseball team's state championship game. A spiritual guide in the form of a bartender appears to help him see the truth beyond his wishful thinking. We shall come to learn to be grateful for everything in life and to trust that indeed all things work together for good and that all events, situations, and circumstances have a Purpose behind them. We can choose to be happy and grateful regardless of circumstances, for our state of mind is always a decision. As the guide says, "I make the suggestions; you make the decisions."

My Best Friend's Wedding- We never "win" love through deception. The main character tries vainly to "win over" the love of her best friend before he marries another woman. Yet in the end all lies are revealed and seen as futile gestures, for True Love is beyond all deception. And a true friend will tell you the truth, even when you don't want to hear it, and always be open to help in times of need. The Spirit within is always always our True Friend.

My Dinner With Andre- A simple dinner conversation can be a profound encounter and lead to feelings of connectedness and joy! When there is a desire to go deeper than the mundane and ordinary, a desire to go beneath the surface chatter and banter and delve into the real, a vibrant experience is available. This movie demonstrates how a dinner conversation can inspire, and reminds us that there is more to life than the commonly held assumptions and opinions. A mind that will question the assumptions on which the world is based is on its way to discovering the Real. Reality is beyond belief, beyond opinions, and beyond judgment. Discovering Reality can be an adventure!

Only You- We are always in the right place at the right time, and this is so no matter how twisted and convoluted the journey seems to be or how we travel. Our Heart Calls to us and we receive signs that lead us onward toward our final Destiny in Love. We move closer when we do not "settle" for "should's and ought to's" and remain open to the signs along the way. Deception threatens to throw us off course, but if we remain open we find that what we had been searching for was right here all along. It was only our doubts that temporarily led us astray. Whatever will be, will be. Those who are destined to meet will meet. And in the End we shall all meet in the Divine Experience of Love.

Original Sin- What is 'sin' but the error of deception, and what is Salvation but acceptance of the Correction to error.  Sin seems to be acted out in form, in flesh, yet the error is simply an erroneous belief which seems to yield a faulty formulation of reality.  Sin is a mistake to be Corrected, not a black mark that can never be erased.  The 'original sin' was the belief that separation from God was possible.  It seemed to be enacted in deceptions of the flesh, yet there is a Perspective of non judgment Which overlooks the error entirely and sees only Truth.  Forgiveness releases the mind from the repetition of the original error, and in this release is true freedom, peace, love, and happiness.  Only Original Innocence remains Now.

Passion Of Mind- Alternate dreams can seem to offer something of value to the dreamer when desire is split or multiple.  The nagging sense of separation beckons the question: "Which of these dreams is reality?"  Yet Reality is only approached when conflicting dreams are brought together and forgiveness shows that all the dream figures were aspects of mind.  The roles in conflicting dreams were but shadows that veiled the True Self, and in the dream everyone and everything is symbolic.  Peace comes at last when it is apparent that there is nothing outside the mind.

Phenomenon- Our capacity for learning is enormous. If we are eager and open, learning can take us higher and higher in consciousness. We may seem to develop abilities of mind that are natural, but that can seem supernatural to the world and people around us. Do not be afraid of true intimacy or of that which you cannot explain scientifically. For as you rise in awareness of Who You Truly Are, you will develop abilities to such an extent that they will release you from an impossible situation. And this world of conflict and guilt and fear is an impossible situation. You will Awaken to the Eternal Reality of your Self in God.

Pinocchio- The story of the quest to be real. The goal requires the development of honesty and integrity--learning to be truthful. The distraction of "pleasure island," an alluring temptation where things are not what they seem, is the obstacle to be transcended. This movie is a lesson in discernment, learning which voice to listen to and trust.

Pocahontas- Listen to your heart--you will understand. It takes determination to listen to your heart in the midst of expectations and voices from the past. Love transcends cultures and traditions which must always clash. The desire for peace and harmony brings a resolution to conflict. If open to inner guidance, the direction is pointed out to a mind willing to listen.

Pocahontas II- For a time it seems as if putting on appearances is a way of gaining something. But in the end the realization dawns that we can only be Who We Are and have nothing to be ashamed of. True Love transcends cultures, roles, status, and skin color, for love is everlasting. Contrasts in cultures and values dissolve when true value and meaning is finally grasped.

Powder- The world is afraid of what it cannot understand, label, and categorize. Powers and abilities of the mind which go beyond accepted norms as well as appearances that stand out are both judged harshly. Yet the development of such powers and abilities and appearances which defy traditional explanations are both natural phenomenon as the mind evolves beyond limiting beliefs. The greatest desire of our hearts is to go Home, to go back to the Source of our Being.

Priest- To live and attain the Life of Christ requires that all fears, guilt, shame, secrets, and hypocrisies be brought to the light of forgiveness. Truth must emerge in Its Simplicity as all lies are unveiled and released. Who can stand in judgment and be Innocent. And yet when all judgments are laid by, only Innocence remains! Christ leads us to the recognition of Eternal Love and to the Innocence and Beauty of Who we truly are.
