Rigoletto- The "spell" of this world is believing in appearances and forgetting all the beauty inside. When the heart shuts down, an anger seems to grow in its place. But an opportunity arises to extend love and the heart begins to open again. And in forgiveness, looking past appearances entirely, we are reminded of the inner beauty that was always present. Fairytales can come true, it can happen to you, when you're pure in heart. There is a song in all of us waiting to be sung. We need only let go of limitations and doubts and judgments for the song to come through.

Romeo and Juliet- Romantic "love," the illusion of bodies "in love," carries with it the tragedy of all illusions. No illusion IS what it seems to be. In a world where "love" is seen to be exclusive and dependent on bodies being together, all such "relationships" must end. And in such craziness, the crazy idea of "union in death" seems to be the only "hope." Here is the absurdity of the world made most apparent. True Union is no illusion, for It has Being in the Eternal One, God. Spiritual Union lasts forever. What transitory, ephemeral, fleeting experience of the world of bodies can last. Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies True Love.

Serendipity- Love is inevitable!  You can't mess things up ultimately, since all things work together for good.  This is a story of miracles and miracles and miracles.  The signs are everywhere, the spontaneity is flowing, the script is written, and the feeling is being carried in Joy!  Though doubt thoughts may seem to cast their shadows for a time, there is a Destiny of Love that will not be denied.  Everyone who meets was meant to meet, and like the movies 'Chances Are' and 'Deja Vu' and 'Only You' and 'LA Story' 'Sleepless In Seattle' and 'Still Breathing,' everything always leads to Love eventually.  Why wait?  Be open right Now!  I love You forever and ever Beloved One.  You are Pure Love.

Shall We Dance- Routines and roles and daily habits can seem so fixed and set that it can seem impossible to allow for the new. Yet when the yearning of our heart stirs, we are given an opportunity to really connect and enter the Dance of Life. It may start slowly, for the Way seems very new, but as we take each series of steps, we gain confidence in the new Direction. Our willingness and eagerness to learn carries us, and with persistence, is reflected in all that surrounds us. We must release the past to completely enter into the Dance. And when we release all doubts and fears that have haunted us, we are One with the Eternal Dance!

S1mOne- A simulation of Oneness.  Persona means mask.  Personality is the mask of personhood, the pretense of pretending to be a person, and a covering over of the Reality of Spirit.  What if personhood was only a construct, a digital fabrication of images and memories that seemed to take on a life of their own?  This movie exposes the construct of personhood, the lie that masquerades as 'life' in and of the body.  The star of the dream is the hero of the dream, the body, the person: Simone.  Simone is valued by the world for her beauty, her sex appeal, her fame, her skills, her accomplishments, and she is worshipped as if she were a god.  This is the story of the ego and the temptation to make and uphold a false construct for personal recognition.  It is also a story that shows it is impossible to kill the ego, for death is what the ego belief is.  Yet having been exposed the ego's nothingness is apparent.  "We're alright with fake dad, just don't lie about it" means in order to forgive the construct it is important to not attempt to cover over or protect or lie about the original error.  This is a Call to take the lid off of all erroneous beliefs and release them.  Christ Calls everyone:  I know the world of bodies and persons is illusion, it is fake, now just don't lie about it.  Don't feel that there is any need to protect or hide the ego belief that made the time-space cosmos and personhood.  Forgive, and know that nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists.  Herein lies the peace of God.   All Glory to the Living One that can never be simulated.

Sleepless In Seattle- Live by your heart's desire. Destiny will arrive, and bring all the joy alive in you. Clinging to a past memory obscures the opportunity for present joy. But beyond the 'should' and 'knowing' of the ego, the Spirit Answers the Call for Help in wondrous ways: A son who never stops believing is used as an instrument for healing; A father's plea is broadcast across the country; A woman with other plans hears the call and despite doubts joins in the Answering. The script is written. When we listen to the Call within and follow, we experience the Joy intended for us all along!

Sliding Doors- You can Awaken 'sooner,' or Awaken 'later.'  The choice is yours.  This movie offers the insight that free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum: forgiveness/releasing past thoughts.  Only the time you take it (grasp the lesson) is voluntary.  Two scenarios are played out side by side, each initiated by a slight change in the event of attempting to catch a train ride home.  In one scenario deception is exposed immediately, in the other the deception seems to linger and fester.  Exposed deception can seem more traumatic at first, yet such exposure opens the door to healing much faster than when private thoughts and secrets are clung to and protected.  Ask for an end to self-deception and watch the miracles spring forth at every turn of the script.  Love waits on welcome, not on time.  Be willing, for you are worthy.

Solaris- Journey to the experience of complete forgiveness: everything is forgiven!  Past associations are thoughts which keep returning to awareness until it dawns: I saw it wrongly.  People represent incompletion and death until they are forgiven, and in forgiveness only the Joy and Love remain.  Though in fear there can be an attempt to cast away unhealed thoughts, they return until they can be seen in forgiveness and thus truly released.  The journey can seem startling as these past thoughts return to awareness, yet they represent only what the ego made of them.  As they are released they are seen anew and everything is forgiven.

Someone to Love- Gathered in a theater that is about come down, the search for love and meaning in this world is documented. Participants received an invitation to come to a party, and those that showed up are interviewed about all aspects of the search for "someone to love." Like the movie "Breaking Up," this movie shows the frustration and confusion and despair of looking for love outside One Self. Expectations are never met by any "body" and in the end there is no way of explaining the search for meaning in the meaningless. Intimacy and meaning are within, and nothing is outside One Self.

Something's Gotta Give- A sparkling movie gem of healing and forgiveness.  A glorious movie of character transformation!  The past, with all its guilt and insecurities and fear of intimacy and pride, has gotta give way to Love.  And it does!  Love has nothing to do with age, nothing to do with time, and is all about the willingness to open up the heart and take a chance on expressing the total depth.  The past seems to be in your face when you are willing to experience Love, and past thought patterns cannot be ignored or pushed down in awareness when there is a true desire to connect.  It seems like a big leap, a bold step of faith, and the rewards for taking this leap are Pure Love & Happiness & Joy!  The stress of clinging to the ego's gotta give, and in the Joy of Love True Giving from the heart is restored.  Such a great parable of forgiveness!

Somewhere In Time- With the unified power of desire, time cannot keep us from a Union of Love. Love transcends the belief in time and distance as we journey back to the Beginning: Life in and as Love. There is a Perspective in which time and space are under the direction of miracles and all is seen through forgiving eyes. In this Perspective it is apparent that we have never been apart. Time cannot veil the True Union and the True Eternal Love!

Sphere- The world was made so that the power of Divine Mind could be forgotten. Meaningless thoughts of fear show a meaningless world of fear. The world is an invention of false thought, and thus only an attempt to misuse the Power of Mind. As the mind's power is revealed, the next step is to realize that this world is simply a projection of attack thoughts and that these thoughts can have no real effect since they have no real source. The Real Alternative is to forgive and release all attack thoughts. This Alternative can only be chosen when the mind is ready to remember Self as Spirit at One with God, in Whom all True Power resides. The "decision to forget" must be raised to awareness so that the Real Alternative, the final decision, "the decision to remember God," can be made at last.

Star Trek: First Contact- As the Borg "assimilate" beings to build an ever-expanding collective identity, so the Federation values independence and freedom of individuals to choose and preserve a personal identity. Both concepts (personal identity and collective identity) assume the existence of private mind, and as such are nothing but make-believe illusions. Divine Mind is Singular and Unified and there is no other. All is One in the Mind of God, and only this Mind is Real.

Star Trek: Insurrection- At last the purpose of "space travel" is questioned: "Where is there to go?" The inward journey of exploration stands in stark contrast to exploring the galaxies of the cosmos. The values of simplicity, defenselessness, and innocence are placed before technology and conquest. Something is Greater than the needs of the "many" or the needs of the "few" or the Prime Directive: It is Truth. The value of approaching the present moment, when time slows and everything is experienced fully in Stillness, is a sign that Awakening from the dream of the world is close at Hand. What time but now can truth be known?

Still Breathing- The belief in unworthiness and the belief in a cold, heartless, random world are one and the same.  The faith in miracles, the spark of joy, visions, intuitions, and loving tenderness are one and the same.  This is a love story about a man who believed in finding true love, and a woman who came to believe.  It is an uplifting reminder to never give up hope on the deepest desire of your heart, to know and be known, to love and be loved.  Dreams of childhood innocence reflect the Divine Innocence within, and miracles bring this Innocence back into awareness.  Beneath the hard, cold persona lies the heart of an angel, waiting to be discovered.  Ask and you shall be Given, knock and the door shall be opened.  There is a destiny that makes us One.  None goes their way alone.  All that we send into the lives of others, comes back into our own.  We are the same One, and this is realized in a moment of forgiveness.  All differences are gone at last.  You are worthy of Love My Beloved.  So very worthy.

The Abyss- The sleeping mind is like a very deep, dark cavern in the ocean; it is like an abyss. To deactivate the time-bomb (belief in linear time) which lies at the bottom of the abyss and the world above seems to be a journey into the darkness. It takes great faith and at times it can seem to be a journey in which there is no turning back. In the Stillness of the depths, however, a great realization awaits far beyond the expected, accompanied by angels of light. There is a Light that forever shines beyond the darkness in which communication is unbroken. This is the Light of Eternal Love!

The Bishop's Wife- When we call out for help from God, we must also believe that we will be Answered. Lack of faith is an obstacle to learning true forgiveness. Angels are all around us if we have the eyes to see. They guide us to appreciate and extend love to everyone around us, that we may see everyone as our Self. Angels are patient and persistent, for their mission is to remind us of all the love and beauty which resides in our hearts. They help us see the valuelessness of worldly pursuits and outcomes in contrast to the virtues of Life in the Spirit. Their mission is complete when true love is clearly recognized.

The Elephant Man- Physical appearances cannot veil a kind, loving, and innocent heart. We learn that physical appearances and forms deceive until the mind is willing to look beyond them to the truth within. As with the movies "Beauty and the Beast" and "Rigoletto," this movie offers the lesson of the inner beauty that is always present. And as the "Elephant Man" declares "I am not an animal," neither is a Holy Child of God a human body. Our Reality is Spirit! We are Whole and Perfect and One, as God created Spirit in His Likeness.

The Game- Have you had enough of the game yet? You entered it voluntarily, although you're not sure when it began. The game seems to use everything you believe in and reflects your desires and your fears. It plays on memories from the past. To fight against the game or seek revenge will only feed the game and make its grip on your mind tighter. The more you hold onto a self image, the less likely you will be to see the game unmasked for what it truly is. Yet though the game may seem very real for a time, in the end you will laugh at it in relief that it was never what it seemed to be. All those people were actors playing their parts. And that which believed them real was but an act as well. Game's over Holy Child of God! Welcome Home! You can relax now.

The Greatest Story Ever Told- From the foretold prophecy of the messiah and savior, to the walking demonstration of Divine Love, to the extreme example of defenselessness and unbroken communion with God (Crucifixion - Resurrection - Ascension) this account is well-titled. Jesus demonstrated the potential of everyone, and much more. Jesus is a symbol of an Awakened Mind that remembers "I and the Father are One." He was called "master" by his apostles and rightfully so. For Jesus demonstrated that Spirit has dominion over the world of images and realized "My Kingdom is not of this world." He showed that is not only possible to "Be ye perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect," it is inevitable!

The Hulk- Rage is buried deep within the unconscious mind.  The rage was a false desire to make a cosmos and self unlike God, and then come up with a formula to overcome the sense of abandonment, weakness, and vulnerability.  The body can never be invulnerable for it was nothing but the attempt to project error outward to form.  No matter how strong and puffed up the body seems to be, the sleeping mind is simply Calling for Love.  Science was made to understand that which can never be understood, and only forgiveness leads to a lasting experience of the invulnerability of Spirit.  Illusions but seem to battle, yet Truth awaits only gentle recognition.  Recognize the Spirit and know that Spirit and invulnerability are synonymous.    

The Joy Luck Club- False belief is projected as the world and plays out over and over in what seems to be linear time. Hurt seems to be passed on from generation to generation. Time is nothing but one past mistake replayed over and over and over. The mistake: the belief that it is possible to be a victim of something outside your self. Yet there is nothing outside the Self. This mistake is corrected in forgiveness, for forgiveness sees that mind is one and duality is illusion. The willingness to join opens the mind to the final lesson of forgiveness, which dissolves the mistake entirely.

The Kid- What you most despise about yourself must come to the surface.  The perfect mirror appears and the opportunity for healing unconscious hurts is present, though not always recognized as such.  Anger, frustration, and resentment can be traced to a deep seated lack of worth.  This error of identity may include a false sense of superiority or pride that was built to overcompensate for and offset the believed lack of worth.  When Love beckons there is a deep Call for healing, and every scrap of guilt is exposed.  Next there is a Call to join.  Finally, with faith, the experience of joining breaks through in awareness and the Happiness and Love fill the Mind and satisfy the deepest longing of the Soul.  The gratitude of healing flows without obstruction.

The Legend of Bagger Vance- A deep feeling of unworthiness can seem to block the experience of Love.  This is a story of faith and trust.  This is a story of opening the heart and being willing to receive and accept and follow the Guidance and Love that is offered.  The opportunity is always one of forgiving all doubts and fears and limitations and allowing the Real You to Shine through.  Once the world is glimpsed as meaningless, the lesson of inner discovery has begun.  Yet the aim of forgiveness is to see the false as false so that the True Meaning of Spirit can be accepted exactly As It Is.  The angel appears in form as an Answer to the prayer of the heart.  The angel is steadfast in the Purpose of release.  And the angel will seem to stay until the lesson can be accepted and applied.  All Glory to God for all the Divine Help in Awakening!!!

The Man Who Knew Too Little- Once the suggestion "all the world is a stage" comes to mind, the path of true forgiveness dawns. Forgiveness is nothing more than seeing the false as false and therefore not taking any of the persons, events, and situations seriously. How light and humorous is a world of actors at play in a play. How defenseless and fearless is such a Perspective of the world. Nothing is taken personally when all situations are viewed as play-acting. There is nothing to fear when the world is seen as merely a theater of actors, actions, and events. In "The Game" the main character symbolizes being unaware that everything is all a game of actors and seems to buy "the bait." In "The Truman Show" the main character symbolizes becoming suspicious of the world which seems to surround him and then, with great determination, arrives at Point of Decision and realizes It is the Point of Escape. In "The Man Who Knew Too Little" the main character is an example of an ongoing experience of this (beyond all fear) Perspective, which is continuously available and accessible. The script is already written. The joy is in the Perspective you view it from.

The Mask Of Zorro- I want to spend my lifetime Loving You.  A theme of this movie is the question of the world: Who is my Father?  The ego offers many answers to this question, because the ego is the belief that it is possible to author one's self or to create one's self.  Forgiveness shows that this is impossible, and the doubt about source/origin is ultimately put to rest as the Source is discovered to be God.  This is a love story about going past mistaken identity and pride, exposing error, and accepting that you are worthy of Love.  The theme song at the end is inspired: Seize the day, stand up for the Light.  I will want nothing else to see me through, if I can spend my lifetime Loving You.

The Mirror Has Two Faces- The fear of Intimacy is exposed in this "exploring the meaning of relationship" comedy. The anxiety and fear related to body identification, expectations, desires, body-image, coupleness, and body-ideals is presented in depth. The attempted "platonic" relationship is an experiment which, though cautiously approached, seems to spin from attraction to avoidance. Any and every relationship believed to be "personal" will eventually be undone. The only Real Relationship is Being One with God. Until the mind releases the body identification, relationship seems to be between persons and True Union (the One Mind) is feared. True Love is abstract, impersonal, and unconditional and is revealed after all that Love is not has been exposed and released. True Love is beyond the body.

The Preacher's Wife- A modern-day version of "The Bishop's Wife." When the specifics and organizational concerns of the world become our "church," a drift away from our True Focus seems to occur. This is called by some "losing faith." But with some Divine Help answering the prayer of the heart, we are guided back to what is truly important. When the True Focus is our number one priority, all things are seen aright.

The Scarlet Letter- After all the finger-pointing and blaming and scapegoat-ing the ego offers, the Still, Small Voice for God gently reminds of Eternal Innocence. Who can say what is a "sin" in God's Eyes? Let he who is without "sin" cast the first stone is another way of saying that the Innocent cannot judge or condemn. "Sin" is the illusion. Innocence is Reality. Love is Reality. Happy is the Child of God that knows Eternal Innocence and Perfection. Such is the Truth!

The Shawshank Redemption- Never lose sight of your Innocence. Never give up the hope of freedom. Be determined and persistent in your goal to Awaken. Keep the fire of faith alive in your heart. For you shall reach Enlightenment. You must be Who You Are. Don't let an illusion of a journey depress you. Life is a present joy, and in laughter and happiness you Ascend!

The Wizard of Oz- The world is like a dream. At times it can even seem like a nightmare. You forgot you were dreaming and everything seemed so very real. Yet deep inside you sensed you were just lost and needed to get back Home. You didn't know the way, but you knew you needed to go Home. In the dream you thought you were a body and seemed to meet other bodies along the road you traveled. You seemed to experience many pains and pleasures along the road, but after many miles you remembered that you just wanted to go Home. And finally, having been totally disillusioned with dreaming and filled with the light of gratitude and love, you learned the lesson that you always had the power to go Home. You had mistakenly been looking outside your Self for it. You had just forgotten it is inside, in your Mind. Verily I say, it is from your desire for God that you will Awaken to your Eternal Home. Close your eyes and relax, and repeat after me: "There's no place like Home. There's no place like Home. There's no place like Home!"
