New Year's Day is three days off, and I feel a little uncomfortable after taking a break from my busy life. Watching movies on the computer is a good choice, leisurely, without running around, just move your eyes, ears and fingers. ;
[09 American romantic comedy]

Back to the topic, I watched the movie "The Answer Man" yesterday, it was very interesting, and there were some new cognitions in the constant laughter; I

personally think it is a movie "With God" A different version of "Conversational", the difference is that she is not as mysterious and heavy as "Conversation with God", this film is relatively relaxed;

at the beginning of 2008, I watched "Conversational with God" for the first time, and I felt in the predicament, It is easier for a confused mind to calm down, to open up the mind like Neil, get enlightened, and even "psychic" - talk to God, hehe! The funny thing is, half a year later, I was in a predicament, and I returned to normal after nine rounds of ileum. Only then did I realize that "everything comes true" can sometimes be scary;

"Dream of a Spiritual Master" is not as tortuous as "dialogue with God". Mystery, this is a film about confronting our inner fears and confusions:

Alan Faber The Answer Man: In fact, he is just an 'otaku' who goes out too little, because he has faced too much the world of one person and has already Lost the ability to disguise yourself in front of others. He has completely lost the urge and passion to continue living. He talks about some outrageous scenes and refuses to communicate with anyone in terms of spirituality...
For more than 20 years, Allen wrote down the inscriptions he encountered, and then gave them The answer turned out to be the best-selling book "Me And The God", a literary treasure that redefines spirituality and has not only influenced the values ​​of an entire generation, but has been translated into over 100 titles worldwide. The version of language has already formed a cultural phenomenon.
It's a lot like Neil in Conversations with the Gods, except he's not a prophet, he's just a big kid with a quirky collection of toys, a big, foul-mouthed, grumpy man; When he was most confused, God never gave him an answer. Faced with his father's strange illness, he asked God every day what he could do, but he never got an answer. Slowly, he began to ask himself and answer himself every day. Keep asking, keep answering, keep writing down, his book, which records these words, has become a best-selling book "Me and The God" for 20 years, that's all.


The heroine Elizabeth: She is a chiropractor and a single mother. She is considerate and delicate. She wants to give her son "safety". She even wraps her son in a seat belt like a zongzi in the car, while she is in fear and predicament. , Extremely disturbed...

Little boy Alex: smart, obedient, helpful, but a problem boy, almost ignorant of mathematics, teachers think he should go to a "special intelligence" school, and the reason is, 'Dad brought He went to the park and said he would be back in two weeks, but he didn't see anyone for three years. 'Little Alex wants to know: how long is two weeks...

The bookseller Chris is an alcoholic, just like Aaron in his early years, he has countless questions in his mind, and he can't do anything by himself. He wants Aaron to give the answer, just ...

The director of the film, Jeff Daniels, said that the fictional novel "God and Me" written by Aaron was inspired by a cultural phenomenon that integrated several generations of believers. Daniels said: "Maybe I really have no talent in this area, so I have never been able to touch my inner and soul like the book says... However, when I was creating this story, I really needed a novel to use it to Ask questions and find answers. All of us constantly have some kind of questioning about life, the biggest one of which is how do we understand the 'creator' who has remained silent? ", inspired by a book called "A Course in Miracles", which is full of all the surprising content, and the biggest irony of which is its author Helen Schuckman ( Helen Schucman) because she turned out to be an atheist.

In fact, people who are keen on psychological reading and spiritual practice are mostly sensitive people, and more or less have their own "heart knot", the "cage" that traps them, what we can do is to propose our own "question", and then get the "answer"...


After watching the video, I remembered that many friends of the spiritual workshop like to use names such as "Master of the Lord" and "Master" to revere the "God" they believe in. Teacher, maybe we want to invite the master to the altar, because we are in the world...
