A Course In Miracles Movie Gathering with commentary with Brian and Alexandra

S7,E25: Star Trek The Next Generation
"All Good Things...."

✨Greetings Mighty Companions✨
This is going to be fun. This is a classic. Let’s open to the profound meaning of the resurrection as taught in A Course in Miracles, using the bombshell season 7 finale of Star Trek The Next Generation: "All Good Things…" What might Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have to teach us about this holy instant and the collapse of linear time? Let’s lay everything on the line and take a leap of faith with Jean-Luc, as he inspires fearlessness and a trusting heart to face directly into an utterly impossible situation and find the answer.

In this adventure, we find Captain Jean-Luc aboard the Enterprise bouncing between different times in his life, past, present and even future. And it seems much more real to him than a mere nighttime dream. In the future he’s a retired admiral, who has difficulty making sense of things under the spell of cognitive decline. In the past, we see he’s just become a Federation Captain, and his crew have just met him, although he clearly remembers already having lived that day. As he puts the pieces of the puzzle together, he realizes his predicament has been instigated by a mischievous all powerful being known as “Q”, who has a way of testing the human species by seeing if Jean-Luc and crew can actually learn something of real value…

Oh... and as the script of Jean-Luc’s life is being rolled out in non linear fashion, there’s just one other little thing: a spatial anomaly appears in the neutral zone that threatens all human existence. If you are wondering how this movie can be practical for us, remember "that an extreme example is a particularly helpful learning device." [CE T-6.I.3:2] The miracle never fails and trust would settle every problem now.

The Course says, "Very simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or surmounting of death. It is a reawakening or a rebirth; a change of mind about the meaning of the world." [CE M-28.1:1-2]. This is the inevitable goal of learning that we all come to accept for ourselves… Yet on the road to acceptance we first develop a sense of trust that grows ever stronger through all our relationships. Mustn’t we learn to see that every relationship, whatever the form, ultimately serves the same purpose of healing our mind? What other purpose would we really want? Developing trust not only precedes awakening but guides every step we take toward recognizing perfect equality with our brothers, and perfect union with Light.

The take home value of this class will be seeing through the roles of leader and follower. And recognizing our inherent equality as Sons of God. The Sonship is one. We are all healed together, as we walk with Christ. This is our holy instant of release.

In Living Light and Love,
Brian and Alexandra💞
