 Choose Your Entertainment Wisely . . . |
| "Audiences
aren't so mindless as movie-makers think."—Sir Anthony Hopkins, actor "Heroes aren't athletes who set new sports records or Hollywood actors who make 'daring' films, or politicians who make bold promises. Heroes are people who place themselves at risk for the benefit of others."—Oliver North "I have looked politics and movies both over, and while they have much in common, I believe politics is the most common. So I will stay with the movies."—Will Rogers "The movies aren't what they used to be. Hollywood still imagines that it's the center of the cosmos, but the movies, politically correct as they have become . . . don't move us as they once did . . . [E]ven Oscar ain't what he used to be. Academy Awards night has come and gone, and mostly what we remember are the ladies' gowns. Movie stars are no longer the icons of yesteryear, and they're often known more for their romantic liaisons, their rap sheets and their half-baked political opinions than for their work on the silver screen. The days of the divas, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Barbara Stanwyck, have vanished. . . . Movies gave voice to common moral standards that were imbedded in the drama. Partisan politics was shunned. 'If you want to send a message,' Jack Warner (or maybe it was Sam Goldwyn) famously told his producers, 'go to Western Union.' Content today has splintered audiences into age groups, and politically correct messages have often replaced a good story."—Suzanne Fields |

"I speak, beloved, of your going over and over the motion pictures of the past that have played and played and played themselves out. Have you ever seen a Bodhisattva come out of a group of individuals who were movie buffs? I haven’t. "The desire of the
Lords of Karma is for you to see that which is quality. There
is much that is quality that is transmitted by satellite on certain
stations. You must set up a system whereby you can record and
play these programs for your members and play them again. These
more effectively convey the essence of culture. "I speak, therefore, on behalf of the Lords of Karma. It is not necessary that anyone among you should be censoring movies or other entertainment. It behooves each one, in your own Christhood, to do that censoring and to realize that if too many of you continue to watch too many of these motion pictures or to engage in other entertainment that is surely below the level of your Christhood, you will see a compromise in this Mystery School of Maitreya that will not be able to be made up. It will not be made up by El Morya, by the Messenger or by a counterweight of your decrees in this court. There are some things that cannot take place on this ground if this ground is to remain holy and if you are to be supported as we desire to support you. "Those of you who
do not wish to surrender these lower forms of entertainment as
pastimes whereby you can dull the mind and forget about the rigors
of spiritual attainment ought to reconsider whether you wish to
remain at the Royal Teton Ranch at Maitreya’s Mystery School.
For I tell you, beloved, it is an hour and a season when El Morya
is fighting for the continuing dispensation not only of this Mystery
School but of other orders in the East that are being attacked
from without directly, such as in Tibet. "Throw out that rubbish, beloved
ones, and stop all diversions that take you downstream to the
astral plane, that leave engrams in the mind and in the subconscious.
And you would be surprised how long it takes you to remove the
patterns of motion pictures and the amplification of modern so-called
music. This is because the heavy emotions and the misqualified
energy of the lower chakras projected through modern movies and
music affect the emotional body and the soul |

"Therefore, those of you who have not stood
against Antichrist nose to nose, as one would say, do not have
the sense of recollection of what it means to be in peace and
all in the bliss of God, minding your business and living your
life as good individuals, suddenly to have the chaos of the "Therefore I say, sleep not but be
watchful, for this descent of Darkness in your midst may come
at any hour and any day! It may come to assail you and set aside
your mission. I do not come to incite fear but I speak of the
realism of the hour, and the realism is that even the sons of
God who have that Christhood just above them as a mantle of Light
do not sense the urgency of claiming it in the full path of God-mastery." |

"You who have taken in the entertainment of the world, I remind you that life is short. The hours and the days are short. Come into a community of devotees—yes, devotees of the names of God. Come in, beloved, and join my seraphim; for they embody the names and they shall accompany your singing. It shall no longer be a dream of angels but the reality of angels. I ask you to be instruments for the rapprochement of God and man in the earth. "In the name of Alpha and Omega, who
have sent me, I seal you in this hour. Do not break the seal but
keep the love and draw in the reins of all untoward states of
consciousness. Thus shall you know wholeness. Thus shall you lead
with the World Mother all peoples of the earth who walk with God." |

"They should see, before it is too
late, that the jaws of a vicious trap are closing in upon them—and
even if the plot should fail to actually materialize as their
perpetrators plan, mankind stand to be the losers, because the
youth who have defected from the Spirit of the living God will
be the ones who will not only bear the coming generation but also
set the example for it. Yet all of this can still be avoided by
their parents, teachers, and elected representatives, who thus
far have allowed the misapplication of the cardinal principles
of Divine Reality in school, church, and society to go unchecked." |

| "Therefore I say, let this rolling momentum of violet flame from the hearts of my chelas roll back the misuse of the sacred fire in the media! For I stand to roll it back by the full momentum of my causal body. And I stand before you, determined as you are determined that there shall be a judgment and a purification and a purging of Hollywood, of the media, of the motion-picture industry; for we are tired as you are tired of this misuse of the light and sound ray from our octave. "We are tired of the misuse of the media by the serpents. Why, that family of serpents portraying before an audience estimated even at three hundred million worldwide in that very focal point of light in Dallas—that family of serpents, even those who portray them giving forth the image of the serpent consciousness are also judged. "Beloved hearts, do you think it is coincidental that on the eve of the anniversary of the remembrance of the assassination of a son of God the world should be more concerned with who shot J.R. than who shot JFK? Beloved hearts, it is coincidence. It is more than coincidence! It is the mockery of the fallen ones that these serpents and their momentum of astral effluvia in these programs should draw more attention than the real problems of solving the crimes of the ages. "They ought to be concerned with who shot Abraham Lincoln—not that it matters who is the individual but that it matters what is the force of Antichrist moving abroad in this nation. Thus I have come to you to present my own version of the irony of the age as well as the rod of iron that shall rule. Beloved hearts, won’t you be seated as I take you to my fireside and my hearth. "Why are they more concerned about who shot
J.R.? Because it is an escape. Because it is easy to dwell in
fantasyland. It is easier not to face conflict within and on a
national or an international level. It is easier to slumber in
the night instead of being the watchman on the wall of world freedom.
It is easier to neglect the freedom and the peace until it is
too late and then to deal with circumstances with the realization
that when it is too late, after all, it will all be over so suddenly
" . . . Precious hearts, understand
that everything is canned these days—voice tones, mannerisms,
mechanization of delivery of address—and if there is departure
from these norms, the individual is beheld as a freak, perhaps
some new species or whatever. Listen to the commentators, listen
to CBS and hear how one parrots another and all speak with the
same tones, the same pauses. The same manner of speech, down to
the letter, must be mastered. And those, then, who rise in the
professional fields, those who win the prizes, those who are respected
are those who conform to the norms." |

"If you spend your evenings passing the time watching movies or television indiscriminately, you are not truly one with me, you are not truly a part of my heart, you do not truly share my sorrow on Golgotha! And you do not truly share my resurrection in glory. You do not share it, even though you think you do! " . . . Think about this: Each time you take in a worldly motion picture, it takes you a minimum of five days to transmute it if you have a good momentum on giving your violet-flame decrees—and much longer if you don’t. For those who do not decree at all, the records of their media experiences, including rock concerts and violent films, pile up in the psyche; and the sounds and the scenes come up again and again as though they were actual life experiences. "Who in his right mind would want to thus burden his soul? "Select motion pictures that profile the heroes of history, the rise and fall of civilizations, the origins of the major religions of the world and a wealth of cultural material that teaches children about the world they have reincarnated into. "Think about how many hours you devote to entertainment that does not afford you a net gain physically or spiritually. Think about how you could spend the same amount of time developing a powerful spiritual momentum on giving calls for the healing of all who mourn, all who are sick, all who are dying and fear death. The hours you spend in unproductive activity are costly, very costly! both to you and to us, as we are your sponsors. "I speak to you out
of the octaves of light and I say, wake up! It is impossible for
you to imagine how difficult it is, once you leave the earth plane
through the change called death, to balance karma, to advance
on the Path or to make headway with your violet-flame decrees
to the extent that you will be able to accelerate your reincarnation
on earth. (In this scenario I am assuming that you will have made
it to the etheric octave, although this is by no means guaranteed
you.)" |

" . . . (You must be) chalices, guardians of the blueprint. And give to God and His emissaries the opportunity to bring it into manifestation even by the power of the spoken Word which you use in the giving of decrees, even by the power of your heartflame. " . . . Love the Christ and let it
come forth in your fellowman, and do no withhold that love. For
by your withholding you place a veil upon the divine blueprint
of the City Foursquare. For by the withholding of your love you
withhold the rhythm and the pulsebeat of the heart of God that
must travel from your heartflame through the third eye out into
manifestation as precipitation in the world of form." |

"Blessed ones, cast out Satan at every
hand! For the descendants of Satan are still in the earth. And
as has been said, God has a right to test you, and you have a
right to be tested. Therefore, do not shirk from those testings,
from those difficulties, but face them! Yes, cast out the descendants
of Satan that are still in the earth and return to the citadel
of your oneness with Jesus Christ in your own heart of hearts." |

"Back in the forties,
Gregory Peck starred in a movie called 'The Keys to the Kingdom.'
Some of you might have seen it. It was centered in China and it
contrasted a proud and 'successful' ecclesiastic, who was really
after the keys to an earthly kingdom, with a poor priest who served
long and hard as a missionary to gain the keys to the heavenly
kingdom." |

In the fifth century B.C., Serapis Bey was embodied as Leonidas, the Spartan king honored throughout history for his courageous spirit in the face of insurmountable odds. In 480 B.C. Leonidas commanded the Greeks in their heroic stand against the immense Persian invasion at the pass of Thermopylae—gateway to central Greece. Before the attack, it was reported that
when the Persians shot their bows, the arrows darkened the sky.
In response, one of the Spartans cried: "Then we'll fight
in the shade!" Leonidas, with 300 Spartans and about 6,000
Greek allies, resisted the advance of the Persian army under King
Xerxes for two days. On the third day, when the Persians approached
from the rear and no reinforcements were in sight, Leonidas dismissed
most of his troops, and he and his 300-member Spartan royal guard
fought to the last man. |

The audience sees the striking off of "The Ten Commandments" by successive thunderbolts —while a deep voice intones their contents—and their burning into the tablets of stone . . . With an Oscar winning special effects, the film is a moving story of the spirit of freedom rising in a man under the divine inspiration of his Maker..It is a remarkable spectacle . . . filled with exceptional setting and decor (impressive facade of the the Egyptian city from which the 'exodus' begins)..costumes (splendidly created) and great music score . . . |
| "When Moses came down the mountain and he found the children of Israel playing with a golden calf, he broke the tablets. And when he went up again and they were again given, it was a law for a backbiting, stiff-necked, and wayward people—not for the white-fire core initiates. The Ten Commandments that have come down to us as well as all of the laws of living given to the Jews are the laws that constrain and hold back the carnal mind rather than the laws for the initiation of the Christ light because the children of Israel did not demonstrate their preparedness to receive the inner teachings of the sacred fire. And so all God could give them were ways to live by ritual, by law to curtail the human appetites. "With the coming of the incarnation of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, that grace of the sacred fire, the opportunity to put it on and to become the Christ, was given once again to all of God’s children, to his sons and daughters—and through them it would be given to all of the evolutions of the earth. You’ve heard about the Nephilim, the Watchers, and the godless creation. With the coming of the Son of God there is the opportunity for these fallen ones to elect to bow before Almighty God and his Son and therefore to receive the gift of the threefold flame. "We are living in the age of the eighth covenant and the eighth dispensation corresponding to the eighth ray. The preceding seven covenants have been opportunities for people to enter the path of initiation and to ascend. Each one of those covenants was broken—beginning with the Garden of Eden all the way through the opportunity of Jesus Christ. The eighth covenant takes in the Book of Revelation—the teachings of Saint Germain for this two-thousand-year cycle, the violet flame, the dynamic use of the spoken Word as God’s gift returning to us the power of the Word incarnate. "This dispensation of the eighth ray
is given first to the hundred and forty and four thousand who
gather with the Lamb on mount Sion. And the mount Sion is the
mount of the I AM Presence where the Lamb is, where Sanat Kumara
is embodied in the messenger—the point of contact with the
I AM Presence as it was with Moses, as it was with Jesus. So the
gift of the Word is given to a white-fire core nucleus—12,000
as a remnant from each of the twelve tribes. When those 144,000
elect to put on their Sonship, they in turn—by the gift
of the Holy Spirit—can transfer the power of conversion
to the children of God and then through the children of God to
all mankind . . . " |

"He would lay down his life for them that they might live. He was the Lord’s vessel—chosen, initiated, anointed. He was the Guru because he knew how to be the chela of the Great Guru, the Christ Self within his people. And they knew it. They followed him all the way from the land of Egypt, where the second beast had initiated them on the Path of the Rose Cross through the mask of their taskmasters, where building towers for Pharaoh they learned to make bricks without straw for the building of the temple of the inner man. "Yoked like dumb oxen to the treadmill, they shared the crucifixion of the Calf that they might know him in his glory. And when the promised one came, they followed him out of the land of death through forty cycles of initiation in the Sinai wilderness to the gate of the Promised Land where, in future generations, those who kept the image of the throne would behold the resurrection of the Lamb, their future Guru incarnate. "No, the sin of the Israelites was not that they did not receive I AM THAT I AM as the personal presence of God who delivered them through the hand of Moses, even as the Father was in the Son. Indeed, the Israelites knew their God. They called upon his name. And so long as they kept his name sealed in their hearts, spoken from their lips, YOD HE VAU HE, that Lord was with them. But when they ceased to preserve that name a memorial unto all generations, the name that is for ever, they no longer knew his personal presence within the temple of being but relied instead upon the secondary source, the priesthood of the Levites. But this they did not unto themselves, but it was done unto them in succeeding generations. "What, then, was the sin of the Israelites who had received both the one sent, their Guru, and his God? It was this, my beloved. Their sufficiency was not in the Guru. In his presence or in his absence, the true chela knows that the grace of the Guru is sufficient for him. The Guru’s consciousness, his ever-present Person, his energy available on command in the name of Christ, supplieth every need. But they liked his personality when he met their human demands, and they disliked it when he did not. This is the ultimate test of the chela. It must come to every one. "Moreover, it was the sin of the Israelites not to declare their sufficiency in the I AM Presence. Then as today, they go a whoring after other gods, other sources of pleasure, psychic thralldom, manipulation of energy, sexual perversions, lust for spiritual and material power, and the inducing of altered states of consciousness by chemical means and diabolical worship. Not finding their sufficiency in their Guru or his God, they failed utterly to find their sufficiency in their own inner Christ, their own inner Self. "Thus it came to pass that the path of chelaship under the lineal descent of the patriarchs, the prophets, and the kings which the Lord God sent to them was likewise no longer their sufficiency. So it is written in the law: Without obedience to the Guru, the chela has no right to the teachings of the Guru. "So it was done by Moses. And the wrath of God descended through him and he broke the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written with the finger of God. Out of the mouth of God the Word was spoken and to the mouth of God that Word returned, for it found no biding place in the hearts of the people. The chelas had failed the first initiation on the Path of the Rose Cross: the sacrifice of the Lion of the tribe of Juda—the sacrifice of the self (the soul) unto the Self (the I AM Presence personified in the Guru). "The law required that they transmute the energy misqualified. And so Moses 'took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.' And unto the sons of Levi who gathered themselves together unto the Guru Moses and his I AM THAT I AM, it was given to slay the human ego of brother, companion, and neighbor. These children of the light must prove that the death of the lesser self is swallowed up in the victory of the resurrected Christ. "But with all of this—and the ‘slaying’ of the three thousand—yet it was required that the Guru make ‘an atonement’ for the sins of his chelas. And it is ever thus. The Guru who has balanced his personal karma—all but a small portion to keep him in embodiment—the Guru that holds the balance of planetary karma must yet go about balancing the karma of his chelas. But the I AM THAT I AM who personified the law would not lay the sin of the chelas unto the Guru, for the Guru Moses was blameless before his chelas and before his God. "Thus the Lord charged each individual chela with the full burden of his word and his work: 'Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.' But the karma of the remainder of the children of Israel was set aside. And the Lord sent his Archangel, Michael, to go before Moses to bring him to the land promised unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. "O children of the light, you were the remnant preserved, the seed of Abraham that became the seed of the twelve tribes of the sons of Jacob. And all of the Lord’s promises hath he fulfilled. And now the hour is come which Moses foreknew—the day when the Lord would visit the sin of the people upon them. Now the Lord God requires the balancing of the sin of disobedience to the Guru and the sin of the soul’s avowed sufficiency unto itself instead of unto the living Word. "Now all the earth trembles in the midst of the Dark Cycle, reeling against the returning karma of their affront to the Godhead. He sent his messenger and, lo, they did not heed him! But unto the children of the light who have waited for the day when they might prove their victory over this beast of self-idolatry, the Dark Cycle of their returning karma is the sign of their imminent victory in Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ in the person of every ascended master who will once again walk and talk with his chelas as did Guru Maitreya in the garden of Eden. "Now with full God-determination and
empowered by the Holy Ghost, they will get the victory over the
image of the beast which he has impressed upon their very souls
in the place of the image of the Guru, and over his warped engram
stamped on the seat-of-the-soul chakra to thwart the archetype
of the Christ in their genes and chromosomes, and over the number
of his name, 666, which is the perversion of the number of the
third beast who had a face as a man. Yes, now is the victory unto
the children of the light." |

"Only six weeks after the people make their covenant-pledge with God, they demand that Aaron fashion them a replica of the old gods of Egypt. When Moses returns from communing with God on Mount Sinai, he sees the people worshiping the golden calf and in his anger breaks the tablets of the law that he has received from God. "The LORD says, 'I have seen this people and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.' He says he will consume the Israelites as the penalty (which means the karma) for breaking the covenant-pledge with him. But through Moses’ intercession the nation is spared, Aaron is saved and only(!) three thousand people are punished with death. "After they leave Sinai, the people complain about there being nothing to eat but manna. They say: 'Our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all beside this manna before our eyes.' The LORD’s anger is kindled greatly and Moses is also displeased. So the LORD sends them a month’s worth of quail that they may satiate themselves in eating the flesh they have lusted after. Nevertheless, the Lord punishes their lust with a plague, causing the death of many. "The way of the Old Testament has seemed harsh to us with its wars upon wars and judgments descending. And we say it was so because it was before the coming of Jesus Christ. As John wrote, 'The law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.' "The Old and New Testaments show two distinct dispensations. The first is the absolute law of the Mighty I AM Presence, which was delivered by Moses, the judges and the prophets. The second is the grace of the Son of God, which came through Jesus Christ. Most of us have lived through these dispensations and learned many lessons the hard way before we were brought to our knees by the law of the I AM THAT I AM and the grace of the only begotten Son of God. "Both the Old and New Testaments show
the doings of a people whom God loves and wants to bring back
to himself. The people learn that disobedience to God’s
law brings about an untimely passing and the necessity to reembody
again. And by and by, after numerous incarnations, they begin
to fear the law and finally to love it." |

"You will recall that Moses carried a shepherd’s crook, for he tended the flocks of Jethro, his father-in-law, at Midian. You will also recall that I bade him cast his rod on the ground. His obedience signified his willingness to cast aside his calling in the Matter spheres and to take up the calling of the Spirit, even as the disciples of Jesus Christ would later be called to leave their nets to become fishers of men. So now I would show Moses the mutability of his earthly calling that was soon to become, by the law of transmutation, the immutability of the heavenly calling. "The shepherd’s crook is the symbol of the life-force in man. Held in the hand of the Good Shepherd of my people, it is the rod of attainment denoting that the chosen one has raised the light of the Mother from the base of the spine unto the crown chakra and sealed it in the third eye. "Now when Moses saw that his rod became a serpent, he fled from before it. I used this illustration to show him how the fallen ones have taken the life-force and captivated it in snakelike forms of destructivity capable of penetrating the minds of my children by serpentine logic and sinuous emotion. The very movement of a serpent’s body produces the sine wave, and this relates to advanced teachings transferred by adepts to their disciples whereby they learn to pass their bodies through solid matter by the application of this principle of motion at the molecular level. "In order to succeed in his great commission, Moses must demonstrate God-mastery in the exercise of the powers of the king, for it was he who would indeed hold the key to the incarnation of God in the children of Israel. I instructed him to take the serpent by the tail, and I instruct you to do the same. Not the head-on confrontation with the fallen ones, but the challenging of the very base of their operation which is always in the misuse of the base-of-the-spine chakra—this is the tactic of angels of light and sons of God who have never left their high calling to defend the Holy of Holies from the abomination of desolation. "When you learn to seize the light of the Mother and raise it in God-control to the heart chakra, you will also be able to put forth your hand as the hand of God and catch the seed of Serpent. And when you shall have seized the light which they have misqualified—to transmute it before it can turn and bite you—then that light will become a rod of God’s power in your hand. Thus prepare yourselves by diligent pursuit of the science of the Mother light (1) to take up serpents by faith in Archangel Michael and his Lord’s hosts, (2) to turn them back by the true wisdom of the Son, and (3) to transmute their hate and hate creation by love’s own violet ray—the sacred fire of the Destroyer (Holy Spirit) who consumes all that is unlike Himself. "Now Aaron was also an initiate of the Ruby Ray, who would exercise the power of the priest side by side with Moses as his spokesman. Their holy offices, ordained of me upon Horeb, were to set the archetypal pattern of the calling of the kings and priests unto God under Alpha and Omega. It was the rod of Moses (the type of king) wielded by Aaron (the type of priest) which swallowed up the serpents of Egyptian black magic and sorcery and set the sign of Christ’s rod. Later wielded by Jesus (who embodied the offices of both king and priest, the wholeness of Alpha and Omega), this rod would become the fiery caduceus of the resurrection flame to swallow up the death cult of Egyptian perversion of the Mother light and release it in the full glory of love’s everlasting victory. "The sacred fire of the life-force takes on the form and manifestation of the one who is learning the right and wrong method of becoming a co-creator with God. When I sent fiery serpents among the people of Israel who spake out against both God and Moses, these were the precipitation of their own spirit of rebellion and disobedience—the very same spirit of the seed of Serpent which they had allowed to enter their minds. "By a mere inversion of the coil of energy which had proceeded out of their mouths in impurity and impiety, their miscreations returned to them the poisonous venom with which they would have, if they could, killed Moses. And many of them experienced death by the return of their own energy, reversed by my right hand upraised against them. Such is the mantle of the Great White Brotherhood—an ever-present protection upon those who exercise their spiritual offices with all diligence, humility, and love. "When the people therefore called upon the law of forgiveness for their sins, I bade Moses form a fiery serpent and set it upon a pole; and any that were bitten by the poisonous snakes, which returned to them the poison of their own consciousness, were restored to life as they beheld (meditated upon) this brazen serpent. "It was the symbol of the life-force
and the representation of their own Mother light rising for the
healing of mind and soul and body. The snake entwined about the
wand of Mercury has remained the symbol of the victory of life
over death. It is the symbol of healing Truth and the wholeness
of Alpha and Omega that is realized through meditation in and
upon the All-Seeing Eye of God. And all who look upon that Eye
make contact with God’s vision of the perfection of their
being and consciousness." |

His Triumph Changed The World Forever . . . I was watching "Gandhi" recently, as I do every year or two. It is inspirational to me. It tells the story of a man who could not possibly win the battles he chose to fight, but did anyway. There is no doubt that it is a propaganda film, funded in part by the Indian government. It scrambles his chronology. But, on the whole, it got the story right. Mohandas K. Gandhi, a lawyer, was able to transform
Indian politics. He did this through force of I read "The Gandhi Nobody Knows" when it was published in 1983, a year before the movie was released. I know the strange side of the man. But he mobilized a huge nation without recourse to violence. That was his great legacy. I also like the movie because it is the story of a failed empire. By 1945, the British Empire had spent itself into near bankruptcy because of two wars. It was a pale shadow of itself. It would soon grow much paler. There are many scenes in the movie that have long grabbed my imagination, but none so much as the one in which Gandhi is seated at a table with a British military official. The official asks rhetorically, "You don't really expect us just to march out of India, do you?" Gandhi replies, "Yes, that is exactly what I expect you to do." In 1947, they did. Self-government is the wave of the future. Empire isn't. That was Gandhi's message in 1915. It did not seem plausible back then. By 1947, it did. |

It isn't the faithful rendition of the material alone that makes this movie so unique and wonderful. The broad scope of emotions, the grand scale of the aristocracy's parties with all their luxury, the battles with tens of thousands of extras, the impressive burning of Moscow, the actors who don't act but live the plot, it all adds to the wonderful experience of this film. This movie is highly recommended to any true lover of Tolstoy's book, who is interested in Napoleonic history or simply anyone who likes deep, moving, impressive movies. |

Playing music is supposed to be fun. It's about heart, it's about feelings, moving people, and something beautiful, and it's not about notes on a page. I can teach you notes on a page, I can't teach you that other stuff. A teacher has two jobs; fill young minds with knowledge, yes, but more important, give those minds a compass so that that knowledge doesn't go to waste. Vice Principal Wolters: I care about these kids
just as much as you do. And if I'm forced to choose between Mozart
and reading and writing and long division, I choose long division.
It is a movie for a student of higher truths
in life. |

If the organized churches will not teach God's true teachings, let the movies do it! Dan Brown's book "The Da Vinci Code" and the movie made after the book bacame the world's bestseller—have shaken the roots of Christian beliefs. At last in one fell swoop someone reached the whole world, both via the book—an excellent thriller—and the movie, with information about Jesus and Mary Magdalene's mutual deep love, marriage and family. No matter how many historical and dogmatic inaccuracies are in the book and the film—this one truth has shaken the world and polaized Christians and non-christians alike: yes, Jesus did not ascend after his crucifixion but went on to the Far East with Mary Magdalene, whom he married and subsequently had a family with, as well as a long and happy family life, until his death at the age of 81. The Catholic Church is up in arms to prove the ultimate fallacy of the movie. There indeed is a major part devoted to Opus Dei in Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code". Opus Dei is a Vatican christian undercover organization of shady dealings and exposing it publically is a sore point with the Catholics. Well, literature and movie-making—especially those which are called fiction or thrillers—have a lot of poetic licence to offer and it is the discerning and discriminating readers who are able to get all that is true out of such and any literature. For the general public and readership worldwide—the door to the Aquarian Age regarding Jesus and his twin flame, Mary Magdalene, has been opened by Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code"! |

"It is the hour as in the final hour when Jesus was on the cross—the hour of calling forth, 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' In that moment the cutting off of that blessed one occurred so that he might prove his victorious overcoming by light's momentum. That moment of separation from the God Source can seem as an eternity and can be prolonged by misunderstanding and misapplication. "In that moment, in that hour of testing, you must have on the wedding garment lest you attend the wedding feast and the lord of the feast come unto you, saying, 'Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? Bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' "Outer darkness is that space into which
the soul not having the momentum of light is cast in the hour
of testing, in the hour of the dark cycle that is the dark night
of the soul. Heed, then, the teaching of the Brothers of the Golden
Robe for your mastery of the aura and the auric light, for herein
is your opportunity to reinforce the light of the Causal Body
here below for the ultimate test of victory. |

The film is about the truth, and burying it because no one can handle it. People prefer to live a lie than admit the truth, very reminiscent of today's world. The characters are talking to us, we are the jury. The performances are amazing, acting is so good, it blows away today's competition. |

The incredible story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, told in flashback mode by Antonio Salieri, now confined to an insane asylum. Mozart was sponsored by the Great White Brotherhood to bring in the music of the spheres and lost his sponsorship. Ask yourself why . . . "Remember the archdeceivers. Remember
the archdeceivers, beloved ones. Remember those who have come
as friend only to destroy the Lightbearers, the creative servants
and those who are in the very midst of bringing forth the divine
music of God. See this portrayal in the life of Mozart. See it
again in the lives of many others, how those who have presented
themselves as friend of the sons of God have been their ultimate
betrayers." |

Saint Francis of Assisi, one of the most appealing figures in Christianity, is portrayed in this movie as a flower child, if not a hippie, romping his way through Umbria in the early XIIIth century to the groovy music of Donovan. Such a movie could only have been made in the early '70's! All flippancy aside, though, this is a stunningly beautiful movie which captures the joyous and generous spirit of Il Povorello himself. However, its concepts regarding desecration of the mother flame need to be taken with major provisos |

He was a man who couldn't care less . . . until he met a man who couldn't care more. Lapierre is actually conveying the thoughts and observations of a character who is taking part in it, a Polish priest. The characters, especially the Bengali peasant driven into the city by drought, and the Polish priest who chooses to live among the poor, are genuinely unforgettable. In addition to introducing
you to some remarkable people, City of Joy depicts the causes
of the poverty it describes, and the challenges faced by those
trying to alleviate, end, or escape it. |

The film is about one man's journey fighting
against one of the most shocking miscarriages of justice in British
history and undeservedly tortured innocent civilians. This is
a moving, powerful story well told. However, if you like this
film, don't forget to read the book. It's even more fascinating
and you'll realise how much the film has left out. Still, this
is for certain one of the greatest films made in the 1990s. |

Pure, unadulterated American courtroom
classic that has been shown in schools across America for decades.
It is a great movie. I'm tired of hearing how "The Lord of

with this. |

It is about the holocaust in Germany from
the Jewish point of view. David and his friends and family seek
refuge from the Nazis. We see some Jews be overly optimistic.
We see some give up. We see many view what is taking place in
utter disbelief—a feeling that successfully transfers to
the audience. 'David' is subtle rather than epic. It has a factual
tone, rather than filled with grand dramatics. I have not seen
a holocaust movie that is any better. |

After seeing things from Larry Flynt's
side in this film, you may still oppose him and what he publishes,
but you will be convinced of the necessity of free speech for
everyone—including for people like Larry Flynt. For this
reason you really should see this film if you haven't already.
No matter how repulsive the subject—it is the legal victory
sutaining the freedom of speech which counts in this movie. After
all, religious freedom could be at stake next . . . |

Thin Red Line Nick Nolte's (as usual) overlooked portrayal
of the insensitive colonel on the verge of failure attempting
to bluster his way through a nearly impossible situation by marginalizing
the one guy who sees through him 100%. I suspect Jim Caveziel's
mystical turn greatly influenced Mel Gibson to choose him as Jesus
for "The Passion." |
| Man
of Steel If you have no idea what the Solidarnost movement was read up before watching this. Of course, the emotional and thus universal element is present (Maciek and Agnieska's love, etc) but this is mostly a story of survival and determination in the face of corruption and political hostilities. Polish people took amazing steps against their government as early as the late 60s, and here we see the triumphant and climactic finish to these efforts. Wajda incorporates interesting documentary footage within the film to make it more effective and appealing to his audience. See "Man of Iron" and feel nostalgia for the times when Eastern Europe saw change as a forthcoming and hopeful force. Classic. |

I was blown away by the score, trully stunned,
considering that there were two composers who collaborated (Trevor
Jones and Randy Edelman). Neither of them is that high profiled
in terms of their works. But one of the things that I was amazed
about the score, was the consistency and cohesion between music
written by both composers. And also the centrality of the main
theme in the whole film and how it always seemed fresh and adaptive
throughout the course of the film. |

The movie shows how one allows evil to
destroy him, and even become suicidal. Once even his wife turned
on (lost faith in) him, he allowed his thread-thin contact with
his Presence to become completely severed. How about the reaction
of Sean Penn and his wife (Laura Linney) to Tim's wife (Marcia
Gae Hardin) and son at the parade, after they all discovered the
truth: they completely turned away from her . . . what else could
they do, after following her suspicion and murdering her husband
(other than the honorable thing: turn themselves in to police)?
|
|
It's the story of a diminutive lightbearer
who belatedly, but persistently, makes a stand for moral action
against rank and physical intimidation, including physical harm
and possible murder. Penn is superb in his role as the immoral,
all-too-human sergeant. Brilliant portrayal of how peer pressure,
relative power positions, insanely foreign circumstances and a
stronger will can bend and compromise the mercurial nature of
otherwise decent human beings. |

Last Samurai "Thus, we direct your attention to the principle of heading off the dark ones at the pass. And if you will be seated, I will tell you about this pass. [For] I myself have had great experiences of holding back the forces of evil at the pass in the mountains. And I have seen it as an exercise and as an initiation that must be forged and won by Lightbearers. "Beloved ones, there comes a moment when a group of individuals on earth realize that they alone stand between oncoming hordes of darkness and their nation and their planetary home. This realization has dawned upon you—and upon some of you increasingly—until at this hour you have come to recognize that the superiority of the Path of the Great White Brotherhood, and especially of the path of the fourth ray, has lent to you a Light, a Power, a Teaching and a Science whereby you can stand on behalf of millions and invoke the Light and see the results and see the response of angels and beings of cosmos who have stood between mankind and descending calamity. "Thus, the principle of “heading them off at the pass” is the principle of stopping the eruption out of the astral plane into the physical plane of great darkness—darkness that is planned in secret as conspiracy and plot against humanity, darkness that does not want to be unveiled or exposed, darkness that comes from extraterrestrials hovering and who have also taken embodiment, darkness such as sudden war or economic difficulties, diseases that come seemingly out of nowhere, of which Halley’s comet has become the harbinger. "Beloved ones, there are messengers from the Sun. Some of them are typified in comets. But there are angels who come whether or no there is a comet to be seen in the sky. Such an angel is Gabriel of the fourth ray, the angel of the annunciation. To him I bid you call that you might have the realization from his heart aforetime of those things that are planned to erupt out of the astral plane as they come with sudden destruction as the return of planetary karma." Note: * Leonidas. In the fifth century B.C., Serapis Bey was embodied as Leonidas, the Spartan king honored throughout history for his courageous spirit in the face of insurmountable odds. In 480 B.C. Leonidas commanded the Greeks in their heroic stand against the immense Persian invasion at the pass of Thermopylae—gateway to central Greece. Before the attack, it was reported that when the Persians shot their bows, the arrows darkened the sky. In response, one of the Spartans cried: “Then we’ll fight in the shade!” Leonidas, with 300 Spartans and about 6,000 Greek allies, resisted the advance of the Persian army under King Xerxes for two days. On the third day, when the Persians approached from the rear and no reinforcements were in sight, Leonidas dismissed most of his troops, and he and his 300-member Spartan royal guard fought to the last man.

'I humbly submit my personal opinion, that this
movie has already, on its opening night, changed I sent this comment to a friend and he responded: "Oh, thanks! You mean it was not too gory to endure? That's what some of us worry about." was my friend's response. Here is my answer: You are welcome . . . I guess we need to define
the word 'gory.' For those who had the humblest It therefore would (or might) be a very healing experience for these particular evolutions that I can speak for. Glory to God! As for others—forgive my inexcusable ignorance regarding their feelings or possible emotions. After all - movie theaters in USA (unlike prisons and torture chambers under communism) have exit lights, so try a seat by the door . Here is what Saint Germain might add to the subject of being persecuted voluntarily and without a karmic reason: "[Poles] are fervent seventh-ray
people. They have come to earth with the charge of Sanat Kumara
to maintain the light of freedom. Voluntarily they went under
the enslavement of the Soviet boot for the very purpose of proving
that free hearts will never say die. "I recall you to the great truth that there is a line where light and darkness must meet. And the line may very well be the line of the people of Poland because, in this hour, they are the most daring and intrepid chelas of my heart. "Realize the great truth, then—and
do not close your eyes, do not close your eyes!—that there
are people upon earth, namely the Polish people, who will prove
to the world, as Jesus Christ did, that it is better for some
to give a public example of the crucifixion than for all to go

co-produced with HBO by Herbert Brodkin and Robert Berger, written by David Rintels. "I previewed for you recently a movie which is most essential to give a dynamic picture of what is at hand. It is a movie on Andrei Sakharov covering his years from 1968 to 1984. This movie was put out last year. I never heard of it, but it is in our possession today. And it shows this man's determination to take a stand for freedom and for witnessing. The greatest physicist the Soviet Union has ever produced, who invented for the Soviet Union the hydrogen bomb, is now confined and in poor health with his wife in Gorki—a city closed to all outsiders. "The systematic dethroning of this man, one of the highest and key figures in the entire country, is almost like the systematic destruction of the lightbearers of this country. The same tactics are used, the same disinformation, the use of the press, the assembling of forces against the freedom fighter or the lightbearer by the spreading of false information to ultimately steer public opinion against the individual so that when the state takes action against him they will have the vote of the people behind them by their planned prior indoctrination. This movie shows the insidiousness of World Communism and yet it shows that the system can be beat by the individual and by the forces of Light such as those that gathered with Sakharov and his wife. "It shows that this state of consciousness is a creeping cancer on the face of the earth and, though it may not be called Communism, the same force is abroad in America today with public acceptance, and that the totalitarianism of the forces of the astral plane are present as we view them whether in their blatant abuse of the power of the media and the sacred freedom of the press or in the taking of land or the manipulation of our money and in many other areas such as the labor unions. And I am sure we can name them—from the rock culture to drugs to what is working to break down society in the absence of respect for our leaders and in the type of unseemly behavior some of them engage in or in the spinelessness that Archangel Michael commented on. "What we see, then, is that the individual can stand and still stand. But in the end, if there is not a movement and a revolution behind him, although he has made his statement and he has won the Nobel Peace Prize, that individual is still confined to Gorki and for all intents and purposes is silenced because he stands alone as Thomas More and Becket and Francis Bacon and Jesus and Gautama have also stood alone." |

| St. Clare of Assisi and the Poor Clares “St. Clare of Assisi” reveals the extraordinary life of St. Clare, a woman who reached the highest summits of Christian mysticism, who knew how to defend her decisions alone and who built a social reality that still challenges the centuries. Along with medieval harmonies composed by Oscar-winning musicians, the exquisite photography explores all of the sacred places in and around Assisi that characterize the life of Clare and that of Francis. The testimony of a Poor Clare in the 40-minute documentary, moreover, exemplifies the figure of Clare in today’s world. |
| "Who Killed the Electric Car?" A documentary that investigates the birth and death of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in the future. The main thrust of this movie is to educate the public about the actions of key players in shaping our society through their policies on transportation and energy, and how powerful those policies have proved to be in affecting us as a nation. I came away with a better understanding of what I had only guessed at before, and I am very glad that Mr. Paine chose to give the concern inspiring events first but leave us with a sense of optimism for the future. |
