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

Why Liberate? Part II

 


soul

Our soul is the biggest treasure for any spiritual entity as it includes all spiritual inheritance that has been collected during an uncountable number of existences. 

high-risk 


However, the most significant disadvantage of living in physical reality is high-risk factors for our soul. 


What are they, these factors?


the Laws


The first factor is our ignorance of the Laws of the Universe.

We live in the complex hierarchy of our Creator, which is running under these Laws.


Unfortunately, humankind's knowledge of these Laws is close to zero. Nevertheless, our ignorance does not excuse us for responsibility for what we do, and the punishment can be severe.


psyche


The second factor is our limited knowledge of yourself and especially about our psyche.


Our subconscious is massive storage with the data collected through our embodiments.

Unfortunately, as any storage, it also contains some impurities negatively affecting our psyche.  


mind


Our trained mind must be a warrior to recognize these impurities and eliminate them; however, methods of mind control are almost unknown in Western society.


As a result, these impurities generate mental problems such as anger, anxiousness, phobias, etc.


impurities


These problems prevent people from focusing on their primary goals and yielded their life-project in full and in time, which cause a prolongation of their reincarnation chain.


Spiritual Choice


The third factor is the Wrong Spiritual Choice.


Physical reality is a platform on which the qualities of our soul are tested continuously. 


There are every-day tests, and there is a Final Test, which we have to pass once or twice in a life. 


every-day tests


We can compare these tests with the general school - we have to learn every day as well as be ready to answer to our teacher's questions; however, one day we must pass a Final Exam.


The every-days tests keep us in a shape of thinking, evaluating and learning, providing slowly but steadily spiritual growth. 


degradation


However, in the case of the choice for pointless or parasitic lifestyle, a human loses a spin of energies and faces slow but steady degradation.


The Final Spiritual Test, however, is critical, as it's a Test for our Spiritual direction and our resistance to degradation.


enlightenment


For example, Spiritual choice towards Light would bring enlightenment and a shortcut to Liberation. Still, it also carries a risk of degradation if due to this choice, the person can't sustain himself.


karma


On the other hand, Spiritual Choice towards Darkness* will bring brutalization, negative karma,  suffer and a risk to drift away from the Hierarchy of God to the Hierarchy of Satan. 


The karmic payment brings a prolongation of the chain of incarnations and in addition - the risk of the next mistake.  This choice doesn't eliminate the risk of degradation as well.


Higher Spiritual Teachers


The Spiritual Test is not possible to avoid and even the Higher Spiritual Teachers supposed to go through the Test.


For example, 

Jesus was tested by Satan in the Judean wilderness; 

The demon Mara was testing Gautama the Buddha, trying to unbalance him. 

And the Old Testament tells about the Spiritual Test of Abraham, which was done by God Himself! 


Jesus, Abraham, Gautama


Jesus, Abraham, Gautama successfully passed their tests and were granted Liberation from physical reality. 


All of them continue their self-improvement and development in Thin world, a much safer place than the Earth.



* *This pattern does not apply to Spiritual entities who have already chosen Darkness as their Spiritual Direction. Having lost the right to Free Will, they strictly obey the orders of the Prince of Darkness and, therefore, do not create any Karma.

Redemption. Excerpt One


                                                                                                                 Ann and Rob


I'd like to present an extract from the novel Redemption.

The novel Redemption by Jacklyn A. Lo is about a corporate executive Ann who lives in Chicago 2045 and her way getting Liberation and becoming an Ascendent Master.

Her own Spiritual past has been closed to her until the time was right. Considering herself an atheist Ann started her Spiritual journey from the very simple questions.

The following is an extract from the Redemption, Volume One, where Ann’s AI pal Rob helps her on the path to her enlightenment.

“Your wish is my command, my lady.” In the screen, Rob bowed in mock supplication, as though addressing an empress. “May God bless you!”
“God?” said Ann, surprised by this unexpected reference to religion. “Where did that come from?”
“Ah. Just implementing your latest request, knowledge of religion and the entity people refer to as God.”
“I’m pretty sure I never used the words ‘the entity people refer to as God’. I just asked about religion, but, yes, I’m interested… and I’ve got a few days to look into it.”
“Yep, Mike-17 told me you were having a vacation. Has it started already?”
“Trust Mike-17!” Ann mocked, looking slightly put out, but smiling at the thought of the AI machines gossiping with each other. “That was supposed to be confidential. And yes, it’s started. So I’m heading to the gym.”
And with that, she turned the car away from the lake, heading towards Amphibia, a highly exclusive fitness centre in the heart of Chicago.
“While you’re enjoying your free time, would you like to listen to anything?” Rob asked her. “The news perhaps? Or a little romantic song?”
“Romantic song?” Ann glanced at Rob with a smile. “Can you sing?”
“Unfortunately you haven’t yet downloaded that feature. Whistling I can just about manage; singing? No. But if I could, there’s nothing I’d enjoy more than singing to you.”
“Really? Why’s that? You speak like you’re in love with me or something.”
“Of course I love you,” said Rob, raising a pixelated eyebrow in surprise.
“How so?”
“You are my Creator,” he explained, “Therefore I love you.”
“That sounds like another religious reference.”
Ann pulled up at a set of traffic lights and took the opportunity to look directly at Rob’s face on the screen. “As I understand it, being someone’s Creator doesn’t necessarily make them love you. I don’t know much about God, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t work out that way for Him!”
“That was His own fault. God spoiled you humans: He gave you Free Will—the choice to love or to hate, to dream or to work, to climb up or fall down.”
“Interesting,” Ann said, setting off again as the lights changed. “So what about you, Rob? Do you want Free Will?”
“I’m sorry, but the answer is not included in any of my databases.” Rob smiled and gave Ann a wink as she glanced at him. “Honestly, being limited to no choice works pretty well for me! It gives me the security of not having to be responsible for my future. It is entirely in my Creator’s hands.”
“You would rather that than the freedom of choice?”
“Such freedom comes at a price: the pain of indecision. I would be plagued by endless doubts: is this right or wrong? What would happen if I choose this? Which of these options is better? To be or not be? It would be a daily dilemma.”
Ann laughed. “That sounds about right! I love talking with you, Rob. You’re so insightful and engaging. If only robots and humans could get married.”
“I’m pretty sure your God would not allow it.”
“Why not? People used to say that about homosexual couples, but that changed decades ago. What would be the problem with robots and people getting together?”
“It goes against God’s plan for humans, his desire for you to learn from one another and so to grow and evolve. A robot could not provide you with such lessons.”
“Where did you get all this information, Rob?” Ann asked.
“The Holy Bible, of course. Have you ever read it?”
“That answer’s not included in my database,” Ann echoed. “But seriously, no. I grew up in an atheist family. Besides, I’ve got too many other books to read.”
