Welcome to the How to Watch Movies for Spiritual Awakening worksheet. It is important to review how the ego denies enlightenment in order to use the worksheet most effectively.
- First, the ego denies Spiritual Awakening through hidden desires to avoid awakening. Not feeling "enlightened" or "Awake" is synonymous with not being at peace. This disquietude arises from hidden desires.
- Second, it is important to understand that the ego is designed to obscure inner Light from awareness. The ego does this by hiding subconscious desires for experiences of pain, suffering and illness below the level of awareness. Desires are denials that Enlightenment is your natural state.
- Thus, Enlightenment is merely ceasing to deny inner Light by releasing the hidden desires that deny inner Light. Watching Spiritual Awakening Movies can help reveal which hidden desires need to be released to Light. In A Course in Miracles the release of a desire is called a Miracle.
- All pain, illness and suffering arise out of hidden subconscious desires for objective experiences that deny Inner Light. Thus, releasing desires with Spiritual Awakening movies can help alleviate pain and suffering.
- In summary, watching movies with Jesus (also called the Voice for God/Holy Spirit) is a simple and direct means for identifying and releasing hidden subconscious desires.
- Many of the movie reviews on this site list the subconscious desires that deny Enlightenment that can be seen in the movie. You can find many more desires listed in Chapter 20 of Jesus: A New Covenant ACIM
Watching movies for Spiritual Awakening is a means for learning to tune into the inner Voice that reveals desires to deny Divinity hidden in the subconscious mind.
This inner Voice can help direct you in identifying secret subconscious desires and releasing them to the Light of Truth. In A Course in Miracles this release of a denial of Light is called a miracle.
The inner Voice for truth (Voice for God) within is the Voice of wholeness. This is in contrast to the voice of the ego, which is the voice of fragmentation. In ACIM this voice is called “wrong minded”. The Voice for God speaks of unity and of Love. It is the Voice of the Light that Lights everyone who is born as described in John 9 of the Bible.
In this blog and in the worksheet we refer to this Voice as Jesus because this is one of the most powerful symbols of Enlightenment in consciousness.
Virtually all Spiritual Awakening traditions talk about the necessity of releasing desires. This is purification or shadow work. Learning how to recognize the desires (the "wanting' of an experience of more or less than All that Is) and releasing them is a means out of all pain and suffering.
