Being of True Service — A Direct Path to Awakening
“The sense of service can be a helpful step, as a backdrop for watching the mind. Everything is thought and really the service is learning how to forgive and release attack thoughts. ‘I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts.’ (ACIM,W-Pl.23:2) Service cannot be judged in terms of form. True service is an alignment in purpose.”

MWGE Movie Review Excerpt
This is a heartfelt documentary about Krishna Das’ authentic spiritual path and deepening connection with the Divine.
Already a musician, Jeffrey naturally attuned to singing Kirtan—chanting the name of God. It was to serve Love and to answer his Call to God.
Because of the deep Purpose of his singing, everything but the song fades into the background of awareness, and he is taken into Direct Experience.
The gift of his music has become a healing comfort and spiritual inspiration for many thousands around the world.
MWGE Excerpt: This is a classic awakening movie highlighting the common obstacles faced on the awakening journey. As Mary begins to listen and honor the inner voice of guidance, she faces the seeming judgments, rejection, and disapproval of her family as she takes her first shaky steps on the uncompromising path to true freedom.
On her journey, Mary continues to encounter doubt and hostility, even from Jesus’ disciples, who view her as less than them. As Jesus profoundly demonstrates, Mary simply overlooks the error of their ways and reaches out in love to all her brothers.
MWGE Excerpt: Clavius, a Roman Tribune present at Jesus’ death, is tasked with finding Jesus’ missing body after the resurrection. Although the authority figures of the church and the Roman guard have given him this task to hide the truth, the search turns out to be Clavius’ pathway to God.
The truth cannot be obscured, for it shines for all to see. No matter how hard it tries to blot out awareness of the Christ, the ego, with all its defenses, simply has no power over the light. Christ is eternal life, and knowing this to be true means that the death of the body is truly meaningless.
MWGE Excerpt: This is the compelling story of Francis of Assisi in the early days of his calling. In answering his own call for God, Francis ignites the spark in the hearts of those around him. Soon he is joined by a band of brothers and Sister Clare, who also seek for truth and a simple life of trust in divine providence and service to God.
The truth cannot be obscured, for it shines for all to see. No matter how hard it tries to blot out awareness of the Christ, the ego, with all its defenses, simply has no power over the light. Christ is eternal life, and knowing this to be true means that the death of the body is truly meaningless.

Being of True Service
To be in service is to serve in a higher purpose, it is not to be locked into serving anyone or anything. It is only arrogance to think that you are here to save anyone in this world. It is coming to a divine order and seeing that your brother and sister are not outside of you and that they are whole and complete. The prayer of your heart is to see that as you are healed and the whole world is healed with you.
