1 NOV 2016 · Listen to this after-movie talk for Flight—a powerful awakening movie for the undoing of the self-concept. Our healing can be as rapid as our willingness to “Let go and let God.” The ego is desperate to maintain its sense of itself, but it does not lead to joy and happiness. Our true identity as the Christ will give us everything we want and yet we have to want it completely for the truth to be returned to our full awareness. The Spirit is so gentle and will use all circumstances for healing—“All things work together for good. There are no exceptions except in the ego’s judgement.” (A Course in Miracles)

1 NOV 2016 · Enjoy this before movie talk! Flight is a powerful movie for seeing the depth of the deception that is the personal self-concept. Although he doesn’t know it, Whip Whitaker is in need of a miracle. Heavily identified as a slick, competent commercial airline pilot, he masks his desperation in drinking and taking drugs. When events occur that force him to question the reality of the “persona” he’s created, the lie that he’s built his life upon comes crashing down. From this place of humility the Spirit swiftly steps in to support and lasting change occurs. This movie is a powerful demonstration of the power of the mind to “choose again”—happiness awaits on the other side of humility as the true self is uncovered and seen as innocent and pure. Here’s a review from David Hoffmeister’s online Movie Watcher’s Guide to Enlightenment: (mwge.org) Flight Review: To believe you are a success in this world is to be twice removed from reality. To admit that your life is unmanageable and help from a higher source is needed, is to come one step closer to truth. This is a big wake-up call. There is a desperate unhappiness beneath the false confidence of personhood. A proud, highly accomplished self-concept is a cover over a self that is lost and has forgotten God. This self is wounded, and to keep this hurt out of awareness, the mask of personal achievement is heavily defended and maintained.

The hiding and pretense is not fooling anyone. However, readiness for healing cannot be forced. The recognition of the need for help comes from within. We are so deeply loved by God that angels will keep showing up in support. Whatever it takes!  It’s all for this!

1 NOV 2016 · Here is the after-movie discussion for The Family Stone. It's a beautiful movie for the relinquishment of judgement, letting go of perceived needs and allowing the Spirit to orchestrate what is most helpful for our healing. Jesus says in A Course in Miracles, "You never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own." Holy relationship are the means given by the Spirit as a backdrop for forgiveness and an opportunity to experience the truth that "all things work together for good". (ACIM)

1 NOV 2016 · Movies for Awakening!! Melanie Doyle and Michael Caruana share a movie session for healing with the Mudgee Living Miracles community. This is the synopsis to listen to before watching the movie, The Family Stone. Judgement, perfectionism, control and all things working together for good are main themes that can be seen clearly in this film. Here's a review from David Hoffmeister's Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment: The Stone family and their partners gather for Christmas and experience a profound undoing of pride and an opening of the heart. To the family, Everett's partner Meredith seems difficult and uptight, and they don't understand why Everett is with her. They have no idea that her deep call for love and acceptance is his own. Only in laying aside judgment and “bringing the stranger in” can they open up to receiving the gift that Meredith offers. Through a series of incidents where it seems that everything is going wrong, a deep healing occurs. When the pressure of trying to be perfect finally cracks, what is underneath is allowed up for healing, and our natural light can finally shine through. The Spirit is in charge of a truly miraculous plan for our happiness, and when we let go of control and allow the plan to be revealed, we can enjoy the ride. Love is recognized only through non-judgment and complete acceptance. Who we are is already perfect! Enjoy and listen to the after movie talk! mwge.org
