Undoing the Ego with Revolver | A Course in Miracles Perspective

In this eye-opening episode, Jenny Maria guides us through the film Revolver as a powerful metaphor for undoing the ego. Drawing from A Course in Miracles, she pauses at key moments to explore how the movie mirrors the inner journey of healing the mind.

The film follows a gangster freshly released from prison, consumed by rage and revenge. But what begins as a typical crime story quickly transforms: two mysterious figures—appearing as fellow gangsters—offer him guidance that gently leads him away from fear and toward forgiveness. With their help, he learns to release control, trust a higher wisdom, and uncover a profound truth: the ego is hiding in the last place you’d ever think to look.

This transformative session was recorded at the Awaken to Love Retreat Center in Cape Town, South Africa, and offers deep spiritual insight wrapped in cinematic storytelling. ✨

In this heartfelt lunchtime talk at the Awaken to Love Center in Spain, Barret De La Luz invites a deep investigation into where we are upholding images or self-concepts instead of following inner guidance. He shares a personal story of ignoring a clear inner prompt, so he could keep a long-standing social commitment, only to come to see how that decision was made by an attachment to being “the nice guy,” and not true inspiration. This leads to him sharing a powerful metaphor: how so many of us are unknowingly propping up a self-concept, like a crumbling wall supported by hidden scaffolding. 

These mental props—the “shoulds,” beliefs about who we think we need to be—require constant effort to maintain and create inner tension and exhaustion. When we can identify these supports and let them fall, it brings great relief and clarity. The process of dropping the mask can feel unsettling, but it's deeply liberating. The walls we thought were protecting us were actually keeping us confined.
He compares this internal effort to a sitcom set, with makeup, lighting, and scripted lines all designed to project a pleasing illusion. But behind the scenes, there is pain, rejection, and loneliness that often go unseen. He calls us to recognize our own "little shows," the personas we maintain to appear acceptable or worthy.

Barret also shares about the movie The Truman Show, to underscore the illusion of the roles we perform. Like Truman, many of us begin to notice cracks in the set—moments when the mask slips, or the “TV show” version of our life no longer holds. Just as Truman had to walk off the stage of a world that was never real, we too are invited to “fire the director,” drop the scripted lines, and step into our authentic Self. Behind the bright lighting and the laugh tracks of our polished personas lies a rawness we’ve been taught to hide. But Barret reminds us that we don’t come to spiritual community to “keep it together”—we come to fall apart, to let the false self unravel, and to trust that what’s real doesn’t need propping up.

Emily from Awaken to Love reads Chapter 30, section III "Beyond All Idols" from the text of A Course in Miracles 🌟 

"The idols of the world are made to keep the truth within from being known, and to maintain allegiance to the dream that truth is outside and has to be found. What is an idol? Do you think you know? An idol is an image of your brother that you would value more than what he is. Idols are made that he may be replaced, no matter what their form."

— A Course in Miracles, T-30.III.4:1–4

This section is a powerful invitation to uncover the hidden idols we’ve placed before truth — especially the ones we made of others and of ourselves. In this gentle yet uncompromising message, Jesus helps us see how every idol, whether it's a person, a goal, a body, or even a spiritual image, is simply a substitute for the truth within. Let this section soften your heart and open your mind to where peace truly abides: not in form, but in the formless love of God within you and your brother.

In this ACIM satsang Jenny Maria De La Luz explores in depth A Course in Miracles Lesson 152: The power of decision is my own.

In the beginning of the Satsang, Jenny Maria reads the line “To you who are in time a little while, prayer takes the form that best will suit your need. You have but one” from the Song of Prayer (S-1.in.21) Jesus assures us that though prayer may seem to take many forms, it always points to the same answer: our one true need is oneness with God. Jenny Maria reflects on how we often pray for specific outcomes, yet beneath every request is the longing to remember our Self in God.

Jenny Maria talks about the line from Lesson 152, “Truth cannot have an opposite.” She reflects on how often we say "only God is real, or "only truth exists", while still sharing our stories of pain and conflict—as if both truth and illusion can coexist. But the Course is uncompromising here: “If what is not true is true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false.” Jenny Maria emphasizes that this is where deep honesty is needed. We cannot hold onto the belief in suffering and still claim the peace of God.

This part of the lesson invites us into radical simplicity. There are only two categories: what is real (eternal, changeless) and what is not. Emotions, stories, judgments, the entire world of form—these belong to the unreal. Jenny Maria encourages us not to fear this truth, but to welcome it. For only in letting go of illusions can we know what is true.

The satsang ends with a beautiful story of reconciliation, as one participant shares how a moment of willingness to follow guidance led to a miraculous connection and healing with a family member. The session ends with laughter, gratitude, and a reminder that healing is not meant to be heavy—it is the return to what is real, through gentle surrender and sincere devotion.
