The Glimpse

 

The Family Man Movie Trailer - Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment News

The desire for the things of this world completely obscures the miracle from your mind. And then you get a glimpse, maybe you have a moment when it becomes so clear of how glorious life really is, how spectacular life really is, and then you ask, “What do I do with the glimpse now?

     Watch Before The Family Man

The Family Man Before Movie Talk - Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment NewsOne of the main benefits of this movie is that it teaches that things are not as they seem. The ego wants us to get adapted into this linear perspective of, “We’re human beings moving through time and space, we’ve had a past and we’ve got a future coming.” We don’t see that this whole linear time construct is a scheme to blind us from the truth.

    Watch After The Family Man

The Family Man After Movie Talk - Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment NewsWhen you get the glimpse, you can either say, “OK, back to the old grind,” or you can choose to hold the glimpse in awareness and keep the fire bright and let it light your way so you just shine, shine, shine everywhere you go with total disregard for fear. By holding the glimpse in awareness, you are saying to yourself, “I will not live a life in chains of fear, I’ve got too much love, too much glory to extend.” Everyone you meet becomes an opportunity to experience salvation, to take the stranger in to your heart. That’s the true meaning of “love thy neighbor as yourself.”

“The Ultimate Gift” After Movie YouTube:
Another Holiday Classic for Dismantling the Ego

The Ultimate Gift - Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment News

In this world we cannot tell our advances from our retreats. It is only the experience of peace that is our barometer. As the ego is dismantled, what the mind previously valued can be let go of and replaced with values of the Spirit, being integrity, friendship and laughter. Intuitive ability is heightened and a sense of service is experienced through the washing away of egoic patterns and desires. A new state of mind is realized and naturally all things of the world become meaningless. The ultimate gift is ordinary and just a recognition of who you are.  ~ Excerpt from The Ultimate Gift movie review on MWGE.org
