Father Stu ( 2022). Spiritual Movie Review

 Illustration to the film "Father Stu" (2022)



Spiritual review by Jacklyn A. Lo of the film "Father Stu" (2022).

Faith in God

Father Stu (2022) is one of the best biopic films about the hard path of a man to Faith in God.

Stuart ( Stu in short) is a professional boxer with a father who is a drunkard living for his own pleasure and a loving mother, without a spiritual spark

Change

His life destiny brings him to a change - leaving boxing. He tries to become an actor but to no avail. In the meanwhile, he meets a Mexican girl who is Catholic.

To move on to a relationship with a girl, he is baptized.

Despite this new life curve, he continues to solve problems in the same way as before - with his fists. Even in confession, Stuart's speech is full of profanity.

However, our Higher Brothers see that Stuart has a good potential for Spiritual growth. For this reason, they decided to create a problem in Stuart's life.

Predictions

Before that, to attract attention, a messenger is sent to him.

We do not know the details of whether this is a real person or a talking hologram, but he predicts to Stu the further development of events in his personal life. The stranger also warns Stuart not to drive that night. However, Stu ignores the weird guy's warning and gets behind the wheel.

Holy Virgin

A series of strange coincidences on an almost empty road leads Stuart into a serious traffic accident. Again, our Higher Brothers are using their valuable resources to send Stu a message via the image of the Holy Virgin. The short conversation with the mother of Jesus should encourage Stu to move on with his life script no matter what. 

In addition, the supernatural events help shape Stuart's Faith in God and his deeds.

Challenges

Coming out of a deep coma, Stu decides to become a Catholic priest. (The courage2 and adventurism of this guy, using every opportunity, is stunning).

But on the way to his further life goal, Stu faces a new obstacle - his physical health is threatened by a terminal illness. His flippant mother recommends that he spend the rest of his life in pleasure, but Stu has the guts to refuse this worthless idea. This challenge works for him as a Spiritual Choice toward Light.

A Choice toward Light always requires inner Spiritual Strength. The reward for this is improved consciousness.

Goal

He prefers to continue following his goal - to become a priest. During this troublesome journey, Stu constantly improves his consciousness. Besides other spiritual revelations, this enables him to understand not only the purpose of suffering but also its value.

Conclusion

"Father Stu" (2022)   written and directed by Rosalind Ross is a great Faith-based movie to watch and recommended for any Spiritual Seeker.

Notes

Any change is formed by the Universal Law of Change

2 Courage is one of the Values of Light

How does real-life karma work, and why does it affect some people but not others?

This is another major lighting theme that appeared on Quora.

Why is it important? Because some young souls may mistakenly think that everything is permitted and that there is no punishment for crimes.

So how does karma work in real life and why does it affect some people but not others? 


Short answer

Karma only works for souls with Free Will.  
FREE WILL

Karma does not work for souls without Free Will.



 NO FREE WILL



Longer answer

All young souls incarnating in a human body receive a precious gift from our Creator — Free Will.



Free Will



Having this gift, they can choose the Spiritual Direction of their movement - towards Light2 or towards Darkness3. There is also a sub-direction - Degradation, which is the worst case scenario and should be avoided.

The Universal Law of Karma (karma for short), like any Law, helps people correct their mistakes and move on.

Because most young souls are unwilling to study voluntarily, they are forced into what we would call punishment.

If the soul does not learn well and continues to make the same mistakes, the punishment will be tougher. At the same time, by the Universal Laws of Change and Evolution, it will be given the Choice of a further direction towards Light or Darkness.

In the case of the Choice of Light, which is more challenging than the Choice of Darkness, the soul will receive a renewal of its consciousness and "automatically" gain an understanding of what has been done wrong in the past. In other words, the person will receive a vision to voluntarily correct his/her mistakes.

Brad Anderson in his movie The Machinist (2004) skillfully described the mechanism of karma for a soul moving towards Light. Find my review of the movie.


 © Wikipedia


However, in the case, if the soul will choose a direction toward Darkness, its consciousness will be brutalized and it will continue to develop its bad doings further, i.e. will become more skillful in "bad" deeds.

The Head of Darkness, Satan, is especially attentive to all those who have a tendency to constantly choose Darkness. Satan is the direct beneficiary of the soul's choice in favor of Darkness, as it receives a potential member of its Hierarchy.

But how practically Satan will drag the soul into His pool?


To catch the prey tightly Satan drops some earthly treasures in front of his prey. At this stage, the goal of the Head of Darkness is to make the soul become addicted. Whether, it's drugs, money, power, sex, etc. Everything goes.



However, even with the number of addictions, but with Free Will in hand, the person still has a chance to turn to the Light. Therefore, Satan's goal is to take this Will away from the soul.

At some point, a strongly addicted soul becomes so weak that it is unable to resist the next temptation of Satan and gives up its Free Will for the sake of another treasure. Now, this soul is fully belongs to Satan and Satan's Will.



The soul still keeps its personality, but feels, that a "someone" or "something" beyond his own intentions pushes him/ her for doings.

As the soul doesn't have its own Will and follows orders of Satan it doesn't have any Karma anymore. 

Therefore, from the outside it seems that the person who does evil to another does not bear any punishment.

Another group of souls without affect by karma are mature souls - missionaries. They made their Final Choice towards Darkness long time ago. They incarnate in the materialistic worlds like our Earth on the order of Satan. They move in the physical reality fast, without hesitation and thinking.


Summary

1. Karma works for souls moving towards Light, i.e. having Free Will. If they make a mistake they have to fix it

2. Karma doesn't work for souls that made their final Spiritual Choice towards Darkness, i.e. who lost Free Will. As the soul doesn't make any decisions, there is no punishment for its doings.

Why War? Part VI

The Holy Bible says: 


1. You shall have no gods before me
2. You shall make no idols
3. Honor your mother and farther
4. You shall not murder
5. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor



Ten Commandments


Joseph Jughashvili (Stalin)  immediately violated the Five Commandments out of Ten when he came to power in the USSR  in 1924.



 A banner of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin

Stalin's commandments


1. Stalin replaced faith in God with faith in communism

2. Turned Lenin into an idol and generate cult of own personality


Berlin 1951 


3. Encouraged children to denounce parents

4. Forced people to bear false witnesses;

5. Carried out constant purges with mass executions of people.

karma 

For 30 years, Russia (USSR) paid with karma for joining the First World War, while accumulating a new one for violating the Commandments.


"You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."


Along with the Spiritual Choice towards Darkness made by Tsar Nicholas, the violation of the Commandments of God gave rise to heavy negative karma that tormented the Russian people for almost 30 years - until the death of J. Stalin in 1953.

thaw

The next leader of Russia (USSR), N. Khrushchev, admits the grossest mistakes in the creation of the cult of Stalin, repressions, and purges.


Times Magazine 


The mummy of Stalin is taken out of the Mausoleum, the streets are renamed and the city Stalingrad becomes Volgograd.

repentance for sins


Khrushchev's repentance for sins greatly softens the karma of the country*. The USSR is slowly but steadily beginning to emerge from Darkness into Light.

However, this transformation does not bring everything that should have been done: neither Faith in God, nor deliverance from the idol of Lenin, the one-party system, and autocracy.


The new leader has the intention to move towards the Light, but in fact carries a mixture of Values. Here are freedom of speech and persecution of artists, improved living conditions and crop failures, friendship with the West and military intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign country.

you shall not murder

In 1956 one of the main Commandments was broken - "You shall not murder". The Soviet Army killed  2,500 Hungarians who fought for the weakening of communist control and the observance of human rights.    

Cruelty and inhumanity in the war against Freedom in a sovereign country (against Free Will) bring despair to people (despair = Value of Darks).

chaos

With a three-year education ( low energetic potential), Khrushchev autocratically makes important economic and political decisions. The consequences of these mistakes give rise to instability and chaos in the country (Values of Darks).

injustice and despair  

But probably the biggest damage to the movement towards the Light becomes the execution of desperate workers in Novocherkassk (1962) who wanted to improve their plight.

In addition to being unfair, this action of the ruling elite was contrary to the idea of Marxism-Leninism itself with the dictatorship of the proletariat, which was the main engine of the struggle of several generations of revolutionaries. 

This inhuman act of the Khrushchev regime shakes faith in Soviet power and Communism and drives the workers to even deeper despair ( = Value of Darks). 

People were left both without faith in God and faith in communism.


Summary

  • Russia suffered from the Spiritual Choice toward Darkness in 1914 until 1953
  • During the regime of the Darks, the country accumulated new karma for violating several of God's Commandments
  • The new leader N. Khrushchev turned Russia towards the Light by publicly repenting of the sins of the country's leadership (Stalin)
  • Repentance brought relief to the karma of the people, but not all sins were recognized
  • Due to the low energy potential and autocracy, Khrushchev was not able  consistently to follow the Values ​​of Light 
  • At the end of the Khrushchev regime, some of the Values ​​of Darkness were returned

Why War? Part I


The war in Ukraine is a catastrophe that any sane person would like to prevent. But what specifically needs to be done for this from a Spiritual point of view, and why do the Higher Forces allow wars?


© Konstantin Grishin/EPA


To understand this, let's look at why the planet Earth was created.

Why Earth was created? 



energies


Planet Earth, humans, and the interactive platform for them were created by Higher Forces for two main reasons:

A. The need for earthly energies on a daily basis

B. Need for new souls to replenish the Higher Hierarchies

As in any project, the Higher Powers have set concrete goals for themselves and expect results of a certain quality.

A. daily energies


Let's have a look at the daily energies first.  What are these energies? Where do they come from?

Energies come from people through:

Thoughts
Speech
Doings 


There is a large spectrum of energies, which we could combine into three main groups

The highest quality of energy
The average quality of energy
The low-quality of energy


The highest quality of the energy  😀 is the purest energy coming from:

  • Compassion & Help 
  • Love & Healing
  • Gratitude
  • Spirituality
  • Creativity in
    • Art & Music
    • Writing &Films
    • Philosophy & Metaphysical

The average quality of the energy 😐 is the energy coming from:

  • Engineering & Programming
  • Production & Operations 
  • Sales & Marketing 
  • Finance & Management 
  • Pop Music and Art
  • Traveling, cooking

Low quality of the energyis the energy coming from:  

  • Speculation and lies
  • Gossip and slander
  • Quarrel and swearing
  • Fun without learning
  • Drunken fights, quarrels, and fights

Higher powers need a certain quality and quantity of energy. 




quality demand


Let's look at the qualitative-quantitative demand*  from the Higher Forces and the energies that we produce for them (Table 1).


Table 1. Energies Demand-Supply correlation

The Highest ones want us to produce 60% high-quality content, but we can only give them 10% only, i.e 6 times less.  

They want us to generate only 30% energy average quality, but we give them twice as much.

And, finally, the Higher Powers set a threshold of 10% for low-quality energies, and we give them three times as much.

In other words, we do not provide the Supreme with the results that they need.


B.  quality of souls for Higher Hierarchies

The Higher Ones also have requirements for the quality of the souls themselves. The quality of a soul mainly depends on the Spiritual Choice of the soul. 

Hierarchy of Lights

Souls with a multiple-choice to the Light acquire such qualities that allow them to enter the Hierarchy of Lights

Hierarchy of Darks

Souls with a multiple-choice towards Darkness acquire such qualities that allow them to enter the Hierarchy of Darks.


Pic. 1


One of the main principles is that the Hierarchy of Lights must be larger and more powerful than the Hierarchy of Darkness.
Therefore, the demand for souls with the qualities of Light is higher than for souls with the qualities of Darkness (pic. 1). 

So, how well do we satisfy this requirement of the Supreme?


To answer this question, let's build the Demand-Supply for souls* in Table 2.




Table 2. Demand-Supply for souls

Spiritual Choices


As you can see from the table, we are again far from ideal - people make a choice towards Darkness much more often than towards Light. 

In other words, the Higher Ones receive an excess of one quality of souls and a lack of others.


degradation


Souls who have chosen Degradation are the least desirable for the Highest. 

The Higher Ones spent much more energy on them than They received in return; in the long run, as unprofitable, these souls, are sent for decoding

The more degradants, the less profitable Their project is.


*Note: Some information is taken from the books of contactees L. Seklitova and L. Strelnikova



In the upcoming Parts, we will look at what can be done to improve the situation in the supply-demand chains.

The Ancient Secret of THE FLOWER OF LIFE. Review. Part 2 out of 2

@


MerKaBa 

An especially big concern is Drunvalo’s aggressive promotion of the MerKaBa meditation and permission to his students to mix it with any other meditation technique which they practiced before.

Meditation

Practicing a serious meditation by myself I know well the teachers'  warning about the danger of mixing the meditations.  


We also have to be aware that western psychiatry won't be able to help in the case of "side-effect" of any meditation as it doesn't have the necessary knowledge.


Drunvalo Melchizedek


Multiplying this risk by Drunvalo's definition that "the brain (physical organ) is the mind ( intangible)“, you begin to question his real ability to successfully teach any meditation.


I also googled the “MerKaBa meditation  Drunvalo Melchizedek”. 


Resurrection or Ascension 


The book was written in the 80s-90s, i.e. more than 30 years ago, translated to many languages, and was sold to thousands of people around the world in addition to the dedicated seminars. 

That must be gathered huge statistics on results. As Drunvalo said it depends on you what you will choose - resurrection or ascension (;D). However, I didn't find anything except a 10-min YouTube video of someone with a chat.


Free Will


We have finally to knowledge that there are no magical short-cuts to the higher realm except the tool which was generously given to us by our Spiritual Father. This tool is our Free Will, for defining our Spiritual Direction (towards Light or Darkness or Degradation) and our Goals for gathering higher energetic potential which will allow us not only to enter the Higher Ẅorld but also to survive in it.


Spiritual Choices 


This path of several incarnations with Spiritual Choices and culmination in ascension is entertainingly presented in my fictional novel "Redemption". The idea of the story was brought to me by my personal Heavenly Teacher on my quest for a new ambitious goal.

Currently, this novel is available in the printed and e-book formats on Amazon and Smashwords.


Invisible Worlds


In conclusion, there is no doubt that invisible matters and invisible worlds are difficult to prove, that the UFOs evidence is hidden by governments as they don't know what to do with that, that our consciousness is very low and it must be raised, therefore there is a need for people who are willing to talk about the spiritual.


Spiritual Philosophers 


Unfortunately, our societies don't recognize the need for independent spiritual philosophers and don't pay them salaries, so sometimes the writers must do compromises and go for commercial success under the pressure of a publisher or an investor. 


Paranormal Elements


Is Drunvalo Melchizedek one of them? We don't know. But his book can be also a great inspirational source whether for a sci-fi movie-maker, fantasy writer, or as a kick-off read for any inquisitive man keen on paranormal elements.

The Ancient Secret of THE FLOWER OF LIFE. Review. Part 1 out of 2


 ©Goodreads



Heavenly Teachers

Each of us has a personal Heavenly Teacher*, that appears to us time by time. His main purpose is not to entertain us or himself, but to give us a hand for our spiritual growth.

Spiritual Contact

Unfortunately, the current consciousness of the human race is so low, that it doesn't allow everyone to recognize this spiritual contact - some of us mix it with intuition, others ignore it or simply scared to acknowledge it.

In his book "The Ancient Secret of THE FLOWER OF LIFE" (1985-1994)  Drunvalo Melchizedek describes his spiritual teachers such as Thoth, his wife Maat as well a pair of Angels coming to him to reveal unknown.

Sacred Geometry 

The book has two volumes, where the main topics are Sacred Geometry and Mer-Ka-Ba meditation. 

The biggest PROS for the manuscript is the great enthusiasm of the author which is going on through the book. That definitely lifts up a reader from the everyday routine and gives inspiration for the unknown. 

Seed of Life and Flower of Life 

The Seed of Life and the Flower of Life as a part of the Sacred Geometry and the new-age meditation are indeed fascinating subjects to dig in.

There are also other paranormal things in the book which make it entertaining to read.

But there are also significant Cons in it.

One of the problems is a lack of structure -  the manuscript looks like a yellow press sketch with hundreds of shallow developed topics, which hop in and hop out without too much explanation.

However, the bigger issue of the manuscript is the obsessive marketing of the themes described in it and the author himself. 

Spiritual

For example, one of Drunvalo's biggest arguments for immediate spiritual practices is that we live in a time of rapid spiritual growth. He, unfortunately, doesn't specify what his conclusions are based on.  However, the COVID-19 shows us an absence of any glimpse of spirituality on the Globe as during the pandemic no single political nor social leader turned to his people with the words whether about spiritual strength or God. And comparing this with 500 years ago epidemy in England well described in the TV-series "The Tudors", we can see a significant decline in the spirit.

Immortality

Or Drunvalo states that immortal Thoth came to him to learn Mer-Ka-Ba, as it's much easier meditation than he (Thoth) had been practiced before in order to carry on his immortality.

Inaccuracy is another problem of the writer.

Telepathy

For example, Drunvalo states that during one of the telepathic contact with Thoth he (Drunvalo Melchizedek) was translating Egyptian hieroglyphs to the human language (!). But anyone who experienced telepathy knows that all information is coming and going as a  hologram picture where to see and feel much better and deeper than in the "normal" reality and that the alphabet as a low, logic transmission level is not needed at all.

God 

God mentioned in the book only briefly and with kind of negligence. At a certain point, the author describes our Spiritual Father as an entity ( or the author says He could be several entities) in the physical body and with an irritated mind towards "his children”.  

Angels

It is not clear why Drunvalo does not specify the main spiritual question of who our God is, for example, from his Heavenly teachers - Angels ​but applies to the questionable source of knowledge by Zecharia Sitchin.

Reincarnation

Drunvalo doesn't deny the reincarnation concept, but he prefers does not to talk about a "soul". 

For instance, the author continuously calls the human race "we", whether he talks about the ancient times - 200 000,13 000 years ago, or about nowadays. But mankind on the Earth now is almost  8 billion.  200,000 years ago some of "us" were in the stage of flora, gathering spiritual energies as a tree or flower or even grass, others were animals and someone lived in the energetic form at the faraway galaxy.

Why do people believe in God when I can disprove the Bible in the first couple pages?

© Jacklyn A. Lo

Quora sent me a thought-provoking topic a few days ago, "Why do people believe in God when I can disprove the Bible in the first couple pages?"

intelligence


We must admit that intelligence has never been equal to spirituality. And if you're smart enough, you can approve or disapprove of anything.


This, however, does not mean that you have reached the ultimate truth; for without spirituality it is nothing more than a mental exercise, a waste of time.


In this regard, the parable of the blind and the elephant comes to mind.


truth


Since the blind have never seen an animal, they evaluate it by touch; each for their part.

One of them touches the elephant's tail and says to the others: "the elephant is like a brush," the other one touches its trunk and concludes that the elephant is like a fat snake, etc.

After the assessments, each of the men began to prove that his experience is the real truth, and the other is talking nonsense.


consciousness


We can compare blindness to low consciousness.


However there is nothing wrong with intelligence, but it is simply not enough to "see the true nature of things." Only a sighted person can see either an elephant or the surrounding world as a whole.


A "sighted person" is a person with higher consciousness. Higher consciousness will help you to better see the picture of the Universe, God, and your place in it.


In other words, to "see" the truth, you need to raise your consciousness.


development of consciousness


The question arises - is it possible to raise consciousness or is it given only to a select few?

Answer: nothing is given for granted, but everything can be earned by persistence and will and my article in 3 Parts tells how: Development of consciousness. 


However, a much larger problem arises when a person expresses his disrespect to God. The "blind" blame God for so many reasons, which further pollutes his mind and causes him serious harm. 


blasphemy


Blasphemy defiles a person's mind and hardens his soul, slowly but steadily drawing him into lower, denser realities.

One of such cases of blasphemy is well described by F. Dostoevsky in his novel The Brothers Karamazov.


atheism


Ivan, clever with his eyes and words, publicly expresses his view of the world: "God does not exist!" His atheistic philosophy infects his half-brother Smerdyakov, who, with a much younger soul, “buys” the philosophy and commits a crime.

Thus, Ivan becomes an accomplice in the murder and generates heavy negative karma.


science


In the modern world, most intellectual atheists are concentrated in science.

One of them is Nathan, a talented biophysicist from Colorado. He does not really deny God, but he hates Him and competes with Him.


Since his mother and beloved wife Melissa believe in God, Nathan has enough chances to turn to Him, but the scientist prefers his own way.

You can find out the details of Nathan's tragic fate and beyond in my art script "The Return of Melissa".


sin


Now an irritated mind might say why God mercilessly punishes those who do not believe in Him or commit sin?


Again, we must understand that the Universal Law of Cause and Effect (the Law of Karma) was formed long before the appearance of our God. That our Creator developed Himself according to this Law and found it useful for the spiritual development of any soul.


Universal Laws


We must also remember that the Law of Karma only works for those who still have a chance to evolute towards the Light, which is a privileged direction compared to the direction towards Darkness.


And finally, we must study other Universal Laws, such as the Law of Evolution, the Law of Change among others, for the further development of our consciousness.
