i have said
told you that if you ever find yourself
on a desert island and you only have one
movie left
that you know you can request
there's it comes floating up on shore
watch make sure you watch for those of
you since we only have so many nights a
week make sure you watch solaris
it's george clooney
and
this movie means solaris is
solar is is really light is which is
really a way of saying god is that's
really what the movie is about and then
just give you a brief thing it's like
the the law of what as you so social you
reap and karma and what you give is what
you get
it's basically as you get close to this
planet solaris then all of your
thoughts
become manifest so in like on earth time
everything is kind of slow everything
keeps coming around again like the carly
simon song but it seems to take a lot of
time
and it can seem to take a long time but
these patterns repeat in very slow ways
you get to face these same patterns over
and over very slowly
with solaris everything speeds up
and so the george clooney character
which is interesting his name is chris
which is one
letter short of christ
has got to go through his ultimate
forgiveness lesson and learn how to
forgive the whole cosmos and he does
and then his his wife who had committed
suicide and he's going to have all these
lessons with um after she committed
suicide her name is rhea
which is one letter sort of real so we
have chris and rhea
christ and real
coming together and that's why i always
say if you're on a deserted island ego's
torturing you
and you get your one request like one
phone call take this movie and use it
for your awakening
because it's quite powerful
another movie that was coming to mind
that's funny
and deep
and
profound
is
one called 50 first dates
if you really want to see a movie it's
really good even if you get the dvd
please watch the extras they had so much
fun making it they were just in the
happy dream in the miracle
moment the whole while they were making
it
that was sandler too very more and the
producers the directors everybody was
like totally in love with each other and
the outtakes are
just as hilarious as the movie because
they're just so inspired and it's in
hawaii it's shot in hawaii and
and they have such a ball making it but
it's like it's using this amnesia thing
drew has amnesia
because of a car accident okay we've all
gone through the amnesia thing with god
and so it's a memory problem and yet
it's a love story it's breaking through
amnesia
to find a way to connect
and
and adam sandler tries everything to
break through it's really good it's a
funny movie but it's also very profound
because because we have a memory problem
we are repeating the past over and over
every day kind of like groundhog day and
she's repeating reliving the same day
over and yet
with the spirit's help he finds a way to
break through
this loop and and actually
even though she cannot
remember
anything from uh
from the previous day it just kind of
loops and loops and loops he's able to
break through and join it just takes it
all the way through to
it's a great great love story
uh another one that i really love i
showed this movie at night a lot of
places around the world but i've shown
it over
in mallorca when i did these four week
and six week
retreats that's a lot of fun too if you
ever get a chance do a six-week retreat
with me so lots of movies i won't have
to be telling you movies at the end
or watch them all
but
it was called frequency
and it's a
transcend time love story
of a father and son interestingly who
who are different generations that
actually come together as kind of a
murder mystery
and it's got quantum in it at the end it
goes totally quantum and it goes booming
blasting through to the happy dream and
and they're able through
through their determination to
communicate and even though it's
transgenerational communication they
literally all of time and space is
rearranged
for them
and it transcends death
and it comes really quantum all the way
to this beautiful scene at the end of
just that it's a little baseball scene
but it's just a happy dream with all
kinds of slow motion
joy and happiness
so i wanted to
to mention those
i also wanted to mention um
eternal sunshine at the spotless mind
we have
two people who have
who fall in love
and who all of a sudden after they fall
in love surprise surprise all of their
grievances
and their conditioning starts to surface
in the love relationship because
it just starts to come up and all of
their judgments are there and they start
getting projected and it gets it gets
difficult so basically
they choose to have this procedure where
they go into first kate winslet goes in
and has her memory
erased
of of him
i think for dealing with this pain
she just goes in for a memory erasure
procedure
and basically
you know erases him and then
he is so hurt by that that she would
erase him
from her memory that he goes in for the
same procedure
and to get her completely erased like
okay if you're going to do that i'm
going i'm going to do it too and then
at some point during the
erasure procedure
he starts to feel the steep love for her
that he doesn't want her erased
at some point
but the erasure has begun and so he is
taking her hand and they're running
through his consciousness
trying to run
and hide and other memories in his mind
so that the great eraser doesn't uh come
and erase him but in the end it's so
beautiful because
one by one the memories all get erased
and
finally at the very end
you know she's like saying okay this is
it joel this is our
our last memory what you know what what
are you going to do and he just he's
kind of kicks back on the beach and he
says just enjoy it
and in one sense the holy spirit is the
great eraser
taking it erasing all these false
memories and all these associations we
had in time
and and erasing them from our mind so
that we can come back to the eternal
sunshine
of the spotless mind which is our divine
mind no memories of time and space no
memories of relationships gone wrong and
hurts and pains and grievances just it's
like in the end
we were talking about that today john
mark and i about this memory starts to
go uh my grandmother
she got lived to be 99 and we had such a
great relationship and the further she
got along in her 90s
what the world would call alzheimer's
kicked in i always tell people that
you're going to go through some form of
spiritual alzheimer's anyway
as this erasure begins and always you'll
just remember in the end what you
what's in it what's important to
remember which is god
everything else gets
erased your memory totally was misused
you know jesus even says in the course
that memory was an ability that was
invented after the fall
there's no memory there's no recall
in eternity because it's all pure
oneness so so the holy spirit uses
memory
the holy instant so that in the end we
just remember the holiness
and
perceptions selected we forget
everything else we come into our happy
dream and then finally
the reverse amnesia occurs where we
forget the world and we remember god
which reverses the whole amnesia process
so
if you get a chance please please please
watch
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
another classic one in the movie watch
your skype
however the movie i've chosen for you
tonight
got it all it is such a well-made movie
that i just
i love seeing a masterpiece
and one where it's like the holy
spirit's just like just sit back and
smile this one hardly needs any
commentary it's so
well made
i think it's in terms of recent movies
over the last 15 or 20 years
i just
i cannot recommend this movie enough yes
the course in miracles is a path of
awakening yes it has a perennial wisdom
but what makes it a little bit unique
from other perennial wisdoms is the
emphasis on
relationships and the use of
relationships to wake up
you know it's really a pathway of
relationships and
this movie
is first and foremost a relationship
movie it is a love story
we've been watching movies all week
about
transcending the belief and the
experience of linear time
this movie hits the home run with that
love story relationship movie undoing
linear time forgiveness
letting go of expectations
and even
transcending death
it's got it all
i just it's seamlessly made i don't even
have to probably click this on and off
because it just will just come we'll be
sucked in and carried through
and lifted up
i mean the feeling i get at the end of
this movie is this bursting joy
of how deep love is how time could never
keep us apart how
relationships are destined to be holy
and destined to be freed up from the
need for bodies to be present even i
mean that's that's really deep when you
think of it
you know
jesus says
you know you can't even think of god
without a body and think of it
throughout history you know when they
tried to you know paint
sistine chapel and
all these paintings of god as if like
god's an old man with a white beard
you know even these concepts of god
involve
the body and this movie
goes and really hits the home run at
taking us into an experience
of a love that transcends bodies that
transcends bodies together
and it's done so so well so
sit back and enjoy
time travelers
