ACIM Movie Gathering (Violet), 3/10/24

✨Greetings Mighty Companions✨

Are you ready to give up the suffering associated with fear based decision making and negative self talk? Then this is your movie. It’s called Violet, and it’s an absolutely brilliant film written and directed by Justine Bateman. This is some of the most insightful directing and practical story telling you'll find in recent years, depicting the healing of our thoughts and emotions in a raw, honest and artistic way.

Olivia Munn stars as Violet, our main character who's "a keep it together” kinda gal, and don’t admit what really going on. Her family history is messy, with an angry older brother and a contemptuous aunt, who are more interested in guilt tripping her than anything else. Her childhood is basically a memory of trauma. You wouldn’t know it but she’s barely hanging on inside.

We then get a clear window into Violet’s life as she begins going through a major transformation, which involves risking sharing her feelings, making amends, and trusting her friends Red and Lila in a deeper way. She miraculously discovers she can do the opposite of the negative voice in her head. And that’s a game changer. And as she chooses to step out of her internal prison, her outer life takes shape in a surprising new light.

We’ve all noticed how fear based thinking adversely affects our outlook and choices if we listen to it. In this psychologically keen exposé we’ll see that learning to choose against negative internal dialogue fosters an incredible sense of relief in our lives. But how do we weed through our traumatic experiences? As Violet will teach us, her path opens up from her desire to be free! When the desire for freedom overpowers our addiction to suffering, then freedom finds us and paves our way forward.

In this class we’ll explore the idea from lesson 193: "All things are lessons God would have me learn”. And we’ll get into several juicy ACIM themes.

✨The development of trust and transparency in relationships ✨
✨Refusing to fuel special relationships in family and at work.✨
✨Letting go of people pleasing, duty and obligation.✨
✨Seeing through the ego’s tyranny and wish for death.✨

Wow!! Truth is a frequency of love and forgiveness. Lies are painful to perpetuate. The take home value of this class will inspire you to see through your worst fears. And how would you feel to let that burden go, and step forward on a bright path to freedom? Let’s find out.

In freedom and healing
