EGO YOU:
Your ego is immersed in life as if it is a movie. From the ego’s perspective, your movie is the only one; no other movies exist; therefore, there is one story and one truth. The ego can become trapped in thinking that the movie’s story and everything outside of you is affecting you and making you feel at their mercy, good or bad. This is when you hear the ego say, “It’s meant to be,” assuming there is an authority or destiny outside you, the ‘story writer.’
While we are in the movie, the ego creates very strong judgments about people and everything outside of itself – using the senses, everything it sees, hears and feels is categorised as right or wrong. Creating certainty that the world is black-and-white and assuming everyone else is living according to this truth.
When the individual ego clashes with others, it can create conflict. For instance, your mum might have encountered a barking dog as a child, which caused her ego to label dogs as threatening and bad. In contrast, your experiences with dogs have been positive and curious as an adult.
Your mum’s perspective is her truth in this metaphor, based on her own “movie.” However, it’s not your movie, and it’s not your truth.
SPIRITUAL YOU:
As you awaken spiritually, your soul moves out of the movie and into a seat to observe what is happening. Looking at the screen and questioning, “There is something not quite right with the movie.” We wake up and think, “Isn’t that a bit interesting?!” The judgment starts to release as we question where we came up with that narrative or why we would follow that story as truth.
For many people, questioning the truth can lead you down multiple rabbit holes that differ from the movie’s truth’. It is like exploring the answer to this classic question: “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Physically, the falling tree generates sound waves that are detectable by auditory sensors. Yet, if no conscious beings hear it, does the sound exist as an experience? The 3D ego would argue, “Of course, it makes a sound!” Yet a spiritually awakened person would suggest that to hear the sound, it would require a perceiver (aka ears); without the instrument to pick up on sound, the consequence of the tree falling results in vibration that is not heard or felt – and therefore no sound.
Just like exploring the answers to “If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?” questioning our movie or our reality is still in the phase of theory. This chapter is about being self-aware and aware of our inner world. We realise that the cause of our challenges isn’t necessarily what is outside of ourselves, as the movie suggests. Instead, we recognise that we have an influence on our experience when we change the inner world. With this self-awareness, you recognize that your inner world is projected onto the outer world, and the level of love, approval, and appreciation you have for yourself will be mirrored by those who share this perspective.
You see the screen and other people watching the movie and question, “What if there is another movie?” The egoic, spiritually asleep people will call you crazy for even asking the question, and their ego would ridicule you for even suggesting such a thing, especially your mum, who finds security in the movie she knows.
At this stage, we can feel the judgment of their ridicule as we still identify with part of ourselves being in the movie, while another part wants to step out – but to where?
INFINITE YOU:
You soon recognise the option to get out of the seat and move to the back of the cinema, where there is a door to the projector room.
In higher realms, the projector room is bustling with beings who may or may not be watching the movie. Conversation, planning, and other projects are being considered from multiple perspectives. Here, we engage with spirit guides and other team members as they assess the roles in this movie and others yet to be written. Even in higher realms, individuality exists, yet they question the truth from multiple perspectives. When you stop judging, you become neutral, which gives you creative choices and possibilities – aka “freedom”.
You realise there are multiple truths, and every aspect of consciousness has its own version of the truth. These “movies” can coexist, even your mum’s version of the truth! We understand that the inner world is the cause. Depending on your vibration, you attract the movie to you like a magnet, bringing in other players who resonate at that frequency.
From all perspectives, you get to be the scriptwriter, director, producer, and actor in your movie.
