Life feels like a movie

It is our consciousness that makes life feel like a movie

The world we experience is as illusory as a movie

Who is the true experiencer of the movie of our lives?

The self you take yourself to be is as fictitious as a movie character

What is the true nature and identity of the awareness we are?

It is God experiencing the movie of our lives

Why would God want to have movie like experiences?

God is the great cosmic movie maker and director

Each movie is a localised field of experience within the unified field of God, together creating one movie with a trillion trillion points of view

How does God make movies?

Is the movie of our lives already in the can or do we get to influence the plot?

What are the themes of God’s epic movie called life?

What would a movie be worth without struggles, challenges and even apparent tragedy?

In the movie of life, we often get lost in the experience, suffering when the character suffers

The secret is to enjoy the movie of life without getting completely lost in it

Fully embrace the movie of life

Embrace the present movie scene

Through some movie characters, God is enjoying the experience of waking up

Allow God to live in you as you in order to fully experience the movie of life

Surrender all sense of agency and allow divine intelligence to run your life

Harness spiritual power in the midst of the movie of life

Love and compassion arise when you realise everyone is God having a movie experience

As the watcher of the movie, realise you do not share the limits and life-span of the character

Realise that in reality, there is no separation between the movie experiencer and the movie. It’s all God.

Consciousness as the aware screen on which the experiences of our lives arise

The world we experience as a projection of our minds

Find happiness and peace, not in the movie, but by going to the root of experience
