"Be you perfect. The
Kingdom of Heaven is within. The things which are seen are temporal; but
the things which are not seen are eternal. Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will
find; knock and the door will be opened to you."--the Bible
Lord, what miracles would You have me do today. If I am ready and willing, I am assured You will perform them through me. Amen.

David at Bryce Canyon, Utah. This
backdrop was the setting for filming
the short video: "The Sinlessness Within." David's descent into
the canyon is symbolic of descending into the mind. The Foundation for
The Awakening Mind offers materials as aids to teaching and learning true
forgiveness.
The Foundation for the Awakening Mind
is established for the purpose of teaching and learning true forgiveness,
laying aside all grievances, and living and extending inner peace. First
and foremost, we shall encourage prayer and meditation and the laying aside
of judgment as the means of achieving the learning goal.
We are a nonprofit corporation organized
for religious and educational purposes, recognizing that true forgiveness
is Divinely inspired and must be thoroughly taught and learned and accepted
to be experienced.
Everything we share is freely given and may be copied, reprinted, and shared in Joy with no cost, for it is associated with no price. Give as God Gives and You shall Know Thy Self and the Source of All Being.
Gatherings available
upon request
Journals & video segments
are available upon request and offered freely on this web site.
All materials are offered
free of charge.
Your tax-deductible donations are gratefully
received.
Use the link above or the one to the right to access this offering. An e-mail address is provided on the right as well if you'd like to request the Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment be delivered to your inbox. As with everything we share, this is a free gift, offered in Love as a tool in the Great Awakening to Love.
Movies can be used as a way of forgiving, of undoing judgment, of releasing false concepts,
and, ultimately, experiencing the depth and meaning of the True Inner Self.
They can be a means to get in touch with and release limiting beliefs
and come to a resolution of inner conflict. They need not be used as a
means of escapism, distraction, or fantasy fulfillment, all of which are
ego reinforcement.
Movies are like modern-day parables. They offer
a backdrop for experiencing deeper awareness and purpose, the detached,
fearless Perspective from which it is apparent "all things work together
for good." For those who have the ears to hear and eyes to see, movie
watching can offer insights a plenty into the very heart of the Soul.
This guide is a list of movies that can help uncover the Innocence and
Beauty that is the Real Self as God created It.
This Guide to Enlightenment will list movies that
can be helpful in Awakening to Truth. Metaphysical and forgiveness themes
will be the focus.

Value What is Forever Free! The Kingdom of Heaven is Now! The Kingdom of Heaven is not of this world. Inner Peace is a present moment State of Mind. There is Great Joy in Divine Mind, Which is incapable of judgment of any kind.
Awakening is acceptance of What Is. And forgiveness is the doorway to
Peace Eternal. Value no scrap of illusion and the experience of freedom
leaps into awareness.
Why wait for Heaven? It is here Now! In extending God's Love we are
truly One Being. To extend One Self is to remain aware of the I am.
Giving all to all is what having means, and our Heavenly Kingdom is
what One Mind has and what One Mind is. Miracles seem to cascade and
collapse time, as water might cascade down a multi-layered fountain,
until it is seen that the first and last miracle (the alpha and omega)
are One. Thank You God for creating All as One.
Peace and be still. The Grace of God extends forever. Awareness of
God's Grace begins with forgiveness of illusions. A mind emptied of
idols is made ready to accept the awareness of the Eternal Nature of
Being One with God. What else could there ever be? For Thy Will is Perfect
Happiness forever!
This moment is offered as a means to learn about our mission of Awakening. The "backdrop" we have been Guided to call "Foundation for the Awakening Mind" is just a temporary symbol of the inevitable necessity to forgive illusion and Awaken to the Love of God within. There are clearly no "memberships," no "dues," no "politics," no "sides," and no "organizations" in the inner experience of forgiveness. Who You are is far beyond the teaching and learning of this world. God is Calling Now and Christ is speaking: "I am Calling you out of the world. My Kingdom is not of this world. Be ye Perfect as God is Perfect. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. But That Which is Born of the Spirit is Spirit." Rejoice in the simple remembrance of this Wholly True Thought: "I am as God created Me." This is an open invitation to Discover the Truth of Your Being. "I am forever Innocent as Pure Spirit!"
Welcome! Discover the Oneness of Being
Enlightenment/Salvation: constant Peace, Happiness, Joy, Love, & Freedom, is our Inheritance as a Child of God. Seeing past all deception, releasing all error and illusion, and coming to Clarity and Harmony of Mind is realistic, for such is Truth. Forgiveness, laying aside all judgment, is the key to Clarity and Harmony of Mind. Can you faintly imagine how freeing and wonderful is the State of Mind devoid of petty judgments? Such a Mind rests in Its Source, in Perfection, and in Innocence! Such is Reality!
True Mysticism is dedicated to remembering the Source of Life. It requires
emptying the contents of consciousness of all illusory thoughts and
beliefs, that What Is forever true may be remembered. It is a Joyful
Life, for Love holds no grievances. It is a Tranquil Life, for Love
makes no comparisons. It is a Peaceful Life, for conflict is gone when
Love comes into awareness!
Our Being resides in the Mind of God. All seeking arrives at finding
our Self in God. In God we are Home Now!
Through the Grace of God we are honored to serve and reflect the One in offering gatherings, journals, retreats, and video tapes which shed light on the experience of forgiveness. These offerings are available without charge to those who request them. Awakening to Who You Are has no price or cost.
Love offering gifts and donations are gratefully accepted. We welcome
all inquiries and requests from anyone with a deep, sincere desire to Awaken to Eternal Love. Send us a letter or an e-mail and feel free to call and leave a voice message.
Please write us and share your stories, experiences and questions on
Awakening to Truth. We do experience great delight in receiving
your communications.
We all share One Mind and are so very grateful that Love has no opposite!
Love is the State of All Being and through which Love extends Love.
The Willingness to Look Within: Questioning
the Unconscious Belief System of the Ego.
What an adventure it is to look inward and question the unconscious belief system of the ego, raising to awareness the dark, unconscious aspects of the mind. This process seems to take many forms, depending on what is
best suited to the learner. Yet healing the mind is simply tracing all
misperceptions and upsets back to a mistaken decision, one that is based
on a single, false "cause" (ego), and then deciding anew in
the Present Moment.
As long as one's peace and happiness and upsets are believed to be
"outer" dependent, one's state of mind seems to be at the
mercy of "external events." It seems as if upsetting emotions
are the result of something in the world (ie., something that happened
in the past or that might happen in the future, something that a person
said or did or failed to say or do, etc.) The idea that peace of mind
is a present decision can sound nice, even enticing, but may seem simplistic,
unrealistic, or perhaps just a little too good to be true.
The Truth is simple! It is the layers and layers of complexity that
cover It over in awareness that make It seem either nonexistent or out
of reach. And initially it does seem to take a persistent effort to
question everything that you believe and all the underlying assumptions
in which you are invested. It seems easier to just pick a role and play
the part or to conform to a group belief system, a "package deal"
of beliefs. Yet to arrive at the Truth, all unconscious beliefs and
the single belief (ego) from which they "originate" must be
raised to the Light of Truth and seen (unmasked) as unreal.
To transform conciousness, a complete change of mind or complete reversal
of thinking is necessary. The tangled web of ego beliefs and thoughts
must be unraveled and undone (released) before awareness can bask in the Light of Truth. In a passionate search for the Meaning beyond the fragmented perceptions
and sights and sounds of the world, the initial requirement is willingness.
It takes willingness to give yourself permission to go within and just
observe your mind and its beliefs and thoughts, without deciding to
just give in to the outlets and distractions of the world. It is a bold
desire to let the Call of God within Guide you to look differently upon the world,
and Give you a different Perspective on everyone and everything you see.
The classic nursery rhyme ends in profound wisdom: "life is but
a dream." Even if you remain unsure about your ability to change
your mind so completely that you can see the world "merrily" ...as "but a dream," again, the only thing you need to start to move in that direction is willingness.
The ego, unrecognized, seems to offer something of value. Its "gifts"
are like fool's gold. And while the mind values the ego and "buys
the bait of separation and duality," the world of scarcity, attack, and conflict will seem real.
But the more you look at the ego unmasked, the less attraction it will
hold for you. And you will be increasingly attracted to the Call to
Love, for Love is Who You are.

Divine Providence is the Source of Sustenance in serving the Plan of Awakening to Joy. I see that the travels and gatherings and work with brothers and sisters from all over the world have all been orchestrated by the Holy Spirit in the Plan of Awakening. I attribute all "earthly forms" of support to the Holy Spirit, for truly the Miracle is the means to Awakening and the Miracle encompasses all. The forms have seemed to be many and varied. The gatherings, the cassette tape/video tape/journal offerings, the video-gatherings, the counseling sessions, the phone sessions, and the Internet ministry have always been offered freely. No one has ever been turned away and there is never any expectation of compensation.
The mission continues Now, inspired by the Holy Spirit's Purpose. Freely Christ has given the Gospel to live and to give, and freely I extend the Gift. It is an honor and a joy to share the Love of God, and as Jesus once said: "The messenger is worth his keep." Everything I have ever thought I needed in serving God's Plan has been provided. Holy Spirit watches over the Plan, and I am assured that this Watchful Care continues as long as any need is experienced. He has been with us always as we carry on our simple mission. Whatever we have seemed to need, be it a car, a meal, a place to stay, or a calm, gentle reminder, all our needs have been met by Him. There is a calmness of heart in turning all perceived problems and needs over to Him and listening for His sure Guidance.
Our foundation offers everything freely and has nothing to sell. We do accept donations offered in support of Christ's mission. The Bible, A Course In MiraclesŪ (ACIMŪ), Science and Health: With key to the scriptures(c), and The Urantia Book(c) can be purchased online at Barnes & Noble affiliates.
