Opening Up to Love - Weekly Movie Gathering with Peter and Helena


Peter and Helena opened the Weekly Movie Gathering by sharing their powerful discussion about opening up to love, which was echoed in a worship service with Marina. The outpouring of love reminded us of the importance of connecting with Jesus and the need to break free from old patterns and behaviors.

The ego's defenses, which prevent us from experiencing true happiness, can hinder our ability to open up to love. The Holy Spirit needs to break down these defenses, starting with a willingness to question our happiness and whether it truly aligns with our desires.

The movie, which focuses on undoing the doer, is a powerful example of this theme. The main character's control over her life and situations is a central defense against love. Trust is a significant theme in the movie as well, highlighting the importance of dropping defenses to love and the need for guidance.

The movie also touches on themes of undoing the doer and trust, as seen in the main character's struggle with control and the importance of trust in our lives. Overall, the discussion underscores the importance of recognizing and embracing God's love and an openness to love.

All That I Give Is Given To Myself - Weekly Movie Gathering with Zach and Kristen

The concept of giving has been a powerful inspiration for Kristen and Zach leading up to this movie gathering. The idea that what is extended is what is received and that all giving is ultimately given to oneself has been particularly relevant. 

Zach shared his shift in perception regarding giving, which led to a change in focus. Instead of seeing himself pouring love into a specific area, he embraced an attitude of giving. This shift allowed his mind to expand, and he experienced the direct impact of giving as a means of personal growth and expansion rather than focusing on the specific area itself.

Acceptance of the Flow - Weekly Movie Gathering with Jason and Emily

This movie gathering centers on the theme of embracing the flow of life. Jason reads from "The Two Pictures" in A Course in Miracles. He and Emily discuss the parallels between Pavarotti and Sidney Poitier, both of whom were understudies for renowned actors. They had to accept the opportunities that came their way, which ultimately led to their successful careers. They believe that the spirit orchestrates these encounters, dismissing the notion of chance or luck. Jason underscores that one cannot force or prevent events, as they are guided by the spirit's will.

The One Relationship - Weekly Movie Gathering with Ken and Nana

The word "Earthquake" comes to Nana's mind because she feels such an activation. "I literally feel like the whole earth is shaking, and that's how Jesus' presence feels. I know that sometimes we want Him to be loving, sweet, gentle, soft, and cuddling, but Jesus is the power of the Kingdom. Jesus has the power. Our mind has the power. And I can feel like Jesus saying, "Wake up from the slumber, from the spiritual slumber." 

So that's what we aim for today because we have this beautiful, beautiful witness of this complete devotion and desire for God. Mother Teresa. There is no doubt that there is no convincing for her. She knows what she wants and is loyal, devoted, and focused fully and completely. And that's what we want to step into today. That's what we want to find in our hearts and minds. We want to go deep, deep, deep into our prayer. 

 When you are in that space, you know that anything can happen. And for the ego, that's like an earthquake. It's like, "Oh my God, everything, my whole being, is shaking because Jesus wants to come through; Jesus wants to use us."

Coming to the Remembrance of the Father - Weekly Movie Gathering with Ken and Nana

Ken and Nana from Living Miracles Community provide commentary for this week's documentary movie about a family that has forgotten their father's memory.

The ego's world is a death wish, and we often believe in it, even enjoying it. This is because we have forgotten the memory of God, which is always there and has never changed. Looking at the world, we see everything is perishable but not everlasting life. This is the trick of the ego to say we are more real than what God is because everything is perishable and rotting away.

Jesus shared that death was one of the last obstacles he overcame. He goes even further by defining death, saying anything below supreme happiness is death. Jesus sets the bar high for us and tells us that we need to be on our knees every day, transform our minds to have a full resurrection, and remember the Christ within.

This memory within us has been lost and is a significant part of healing. The documentary aims to bring the father's memory back to the light, to bring the darkness and the death wish to the light.
