The Professor and the Madman (2019). Metaphysical Review

 

Professor and the Madman (2019)

Metaphysical review Jacklyn A. Lo for the historical film The Professor and the Madman (2019).

Negative Karma

The metaphysical core of this sophisticated film is the negative karma that hit one of the main characters of the story.

The protagonist, Dr. William Chester Minor, caused suffering and pain to a stranger (a solder Declan Reilly). This happened during the American Civil War when William was on duty as a surgeon and captain.

No Peace

Sometime later, William began to hallucinate - Declan Reilly not only pursues him but also attacks him, threatening his life. To avoid danger, William leaves the US and seeks asylum in England. However, even in a new country, he fails to find peace.

Murder

One night, William wakes up and realizes that Declan Reilly has been at his house. Grabbing his revolver, he immediately begins to pursue the man. At a certain point in time, William catches up with the man and kills him. However, as it turns out that was the wrong man. That murdered man, a father of several children, didn't have anything to do with Declan Reilly.

Consciousness

Someone might object - there shouldn't be any negative karma involved as William did professional duties in wartime as anyone else would do. This conclusion is based on pure Western logic without consideration of the man's level of consciousness. However, from our Highest Brother's point of view, the punishment ( if any) must be given in accordance with the human's maturity of his soul, i.e. level of consciousness.

Incarnations

For example, very young souls with multiple incarnations in a human body could earn positive karma for faithfully following military orders (which William followed). However, the higher the consciousness, the greater the responsibility. Some religions, such as Buddhism, do not accept harm to any creature, even an insect, let alone a person.

Energetic level of Soul

Therefore, let's look at the captain and surgeon William in terms of the energy quantity and quality of his soul. 

In 1872 ( the year of William's imprisonment) only 1 person out of 5 could read and write, but William was not only literate, he got a much higher education with a deep knowledge of human anatomy and he worked as a surgeon. Also, as a great contributor to the Oxford Dictionary, he has a much higher intellectual level than an average man as well as very good organizational skills.

All the factors above are clear signs that the energetic level of his soul is much above average.

Spiritual Direction

Some might argue that highly intelligent villains hang around us without any punishment for their deeds.
And again, for a correct understanding, we need to look into the spiritual core of a person, or rather, in what Spiritual Direction¹ he moves.

Spiritual Choice

We must remember that Karmic lessons only work for spiritual beings moving toward the Light. Mature spiritual entities who have constantly made their Spiritual Choice toward Darkness no longer have the opportunity to correct their mistakes, as they "operate" under the complete control of Satan, the Head of Darkness.

Again, someone can object - but there is a third party involved in this case, and even one of them (the husband of Eliza Merrett) dies at the hand of William.

Sacrifice

That's true, our Highest Brothers put a lot of effort into giving a chance to correct mistakes for one individual soul.

And thanks to that, we observe constant spiritual progress in William, not only through his philanthropic help in making the Oxford Dictionary but especially via his voluntary sacrifice in favor of Eliza Merrett, the widow of the man whom he killed.

And of course, this progress would not have been possible if William had resisted this karmic lesson.

Similar Movie

This film is similar to the film The Machinist ( 2004), where negative karma teaches a protagonist to work on mistakes already in his current life.

Conclusion

The Professor and the Madman (2019) directed by Farhad Safinia  and written by Todd Komarnicki, Simon Winchester, and Farhad Safini is a highly spiritual biopic recommended to anyone interested in the work of karmic lessons

Notes

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 change¹  - 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

¹  Any change is formed by the Universal Law of Change

² Courage is one of the Values of Light

Is the spirit world just as corrupted as the earthly realm?

Is the spirit world (afterlife) just as corrupted as the earthly realm? Why would some spiritual beings want to control other spirits and trap them in a cycle of endless unconscious incarnations? How do we break free?

This is another chain of thought-provoking questions on Quora.

The short answer to these questions is "No, the Subtle World is not corrupted." 

© Reincarnated Soul

But let's take a closer look at all these questions.

Is the spirit world (afterlife) just as corrupted as the earthly realm?

The most probably the author of the questions by spirit world means a Subtle World where a soul comes after life ending.

As far as I know, the most difficult platform for the soul is physical, i.e. the material world, where the soul comes to gain the missing energies and determine its Spiritual Direction*. 

You may ask why such challenges are created and why we do not have heaven on Earth. Well, these conditions are made for souls with relatively low consciousness. As consciousness grows and the soul achieves certain results that allow it to join the hierarchy of God or Satan, it passes into a higher reality in accordance with its achievements.

And the Higher World has its own principles, different from ours.

Why would some spiritual beings want to control other spirits and trap them in a cycle of endless unconscious incarnations? 

To add even more thrill, science fiction writers, myself included, use strong words and phrases such as trap to describe reincarnation.

However, we must recognize that the concept of reincarnation is an excellent tool for human development.

If you have worked as a project manager or at least participated in some projects, then most likely you have noticed that the shorter the project, the more effective it is and the easier it is to meet deadlines.

The same idea with the project of our life - dividing a long stretch of the path into several lives gives better results.

In addition, more lives provide variety that cannot be achieved in one. For example, the same soul experiences in different genders, countries, conditions of existence, and even on different planets.

For example, in my novel Redemption, the soul of my main character, a high-tech executive living on Earth 2045, previously lived in the Nameless Country, France, Italy, and Russia, incarnating mostly as a woman, but also as a man. 

How do we break free?

In fact, we are not trapped by spiritual beings or the concept of reincarnation, but by our own imperfection.

As soon as we collect all the necessary energies into the matrix of our souls and make the final Spiritual Choice of our Spiritual Direction - towards Light or Darkness, the need to return to the physical world, i.e. reincarnation, will disappear.

Why War? Part IX/ B

We learned that, having blackened his soul, Mr. Putin made two Spiritual Choices in favor of Darkness, and Satan rewarded him with money and power.

You might think that the CEO of Darkness is a nice and generous guy. But is it really so? 

This is far from true, as Satan is a main representative of the Values of Darkness, and his main goal is to enslave as many souls as possible.

VALUES OF DARKS:

SLAVERY
HATRED
WAR
COWARDICE
FALSE
INJUSTICE
DESPAIR
CRUELTY
CHAOS
GREED

The main goal of Satan is to get a soul into his complete submission, i.e. make it a slave. One or two Spiritual Choices are not enough for this.

Therefore, Satan throws more and more baits to make a deal in which a person gives up his Free Will.

Addiction to Magic

Recently, Pu has shown great interest in magic. 

According to rumors, he not only regularly travels to Siberia to take part in occult rituals with sacrifices, but also sincerely believes in the predictions made to him by shamans.

In the beginning of the year 2022 shamans had promised him: 

"You will become better than all the rulers of the world!". 

This promise sounds extremely tempting to someone with inflated pride.

Fig 1. Pu's addiction to Satan's hooks.

Isn't the subjugation of supernatural forces what Pu gave up his Free Will to Satan for?

As Loss of Free Will means Full dependency from Satan.

And the loss of Free Will means that All Decision Making is given away to Satan.

Addicted to money, power and magic, Pu, having no Will of his own, moves into Darkness, dragging a country of 140 million with him.

Fig. 2 Loss of Free Will by Pu

Ideas

Since the entire decision-making process is outsourced to Satan, the CEO of Darkness must also equip His servant with ideas.

Since new ideas are very expensive, and Satan is extremely stingy, he tosses Mr. Pu with the second-hand things of his former servants.

He especially mocks those who, puffed up with their own pride, consume with great appetite everything that Satan throws at them.

Satan's Second-hand 

Among other things:

• Stalin's second-hand: the main message of Pu - the liberation of Ukraine from the "fascists" echoes the calls of the dictator Stalin for the liberation of the oppressed people of Finland (the wars of 1939/1941);

• Hitler's second-hand: The time (4 o'clock in the morning) and places (Babi Yar, etc.) of the beginning of Pu's special operation in Ukraine correspond to the cruelty of fascist Germany (Hitler's attack on the USSR, June 1941).

Symbols of Evil

If the evil Stalin had a utopian ideal of the victory of the working people over the bourgeoisie, he was worthy of a unique symbol - the hammer and sickle.  

@

And the evil Hitler, fighting for the prosperity of the Aryan (German) race, deserved from Satan a hooked cross-swastika.

@

Z & V

And which symbol Mr. Pu deserve?

It looks like he didn't deserve anything else than just one of the letters from Latin alphabets, i.e. letter Z, given to him by Satan as a joke - Zombie ;).

@

Because the Zombie (Pu) remains under the control of the Sorcerer (Satan) as a personal slave with NO WILL of its own!

And the letter V, you ask?  

@

Well, if Z is for Zombie, then the letter V is for Voodoo, which confirms Pu's addiction to black magic and a keen interest in Africa.

Artificial Soul 

Driven by great pride, Satan himself is constantly seeking a competitive advantage over God.

His main dream of him is an Artificial Soul and all his loyal servants are in constant search for it digging out Artificial Intelligence as an initial source. And Mr. Pu is no exception.

Is the world in the greatest danger?

So, you may be asking, "If Satan commands Putin, does that mean the world is in the greatest danger?"

Well, yes and no, as our future depend on us or on our Spiritual Choice.

SUMMARY:

Multiple Spiritual Choices of Mr. Pu towards Darkness: 

1. Choice for  Money

2. Choice for Power

3. Choice for Magic

Pu's final Spiritual Choice towards Darkness led to the Loss of Free Will and Complete dependence on Satan.

The metaphysical realm

The metaphysical realm is like the hidden part of an iceberg—we believe it exists, but we cannot see it.

And only the Higher Ones with their perfect vision can see the “true” picture of the metaphysical realm and draw their final conclusions.

However, for our part, we can estimate the hidden part by making metaphysical analysis based on available data and drawing conclusions.

• What was it like for people who have sold their souls, and what did they gain from it?

NOTE:

The delay in publishing part B of the article was due to the fact that I received disguised calls with "silence" after the publication of part A.

What was it like for the people who sold their souls, and what did they gain from it?

This is another fascinating soul question on Quora.

Soul selling is a simplified name for the complex process of transferring Free Will from a person to Satan*.

The process of selling the soul is well described by a number of authors, including Goethe in the tragic play "Faust";

Faust

Oscar Wilde, in his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the film "Dorian Gray" 

The Picture of Dorian Gray

and me, in the novella Tomo and The Soul Catchers, which became a base for the screenplay Heaven**.

Tomo and The Soul Catchers

In each of these cases, Satan is ready to satisfy any desire of the victim in exchange for his/her soul.

For example, due to such a deal, Faust got limitless knowledge, Dorian - eternal youth, and Cora - seductive beauty.

So, in principle, we can say that these guys got what they wanted from earthly pleasures. However, is everything so simple? Or are there side effects?

Yes, they are.

The soul becomes a slave of the Head of Darkness*, losing its own "voice", the freedom of further choice and decision-making.

The good news is that the soul will not be punished for its "bad deeds", meaning it avoids karma. On the other hand, it will forever lose the opportunity to become the Creator, "produce" souls, and the opportunity to become "first", since Satan (which the soul eventually become) is always "second" to God.

Also, for a short time, the soul avoids Degradation and the risk of spiritual death for the loss of energy. On the other hand, it will run the risk of spiritual death as a punishment for cruelty.

A young soul might say, "I enjoy earthly pleasures, I hate making decisions and don't like karma at all, so this might be great for me." But in fact, Satan's "kindness" is a well-disguised evil, and in all of the stories listed, the protagonist encounters side effects shortly after the deal and is deeply disappointed in what he/she has done.

After the soul's Earthly existence, Satan will continue to “work” on it sending it to study or labor in the hardened worlds to achieve the energies and goals that He wants.

The soul will not have the opportunity to choose a planet, body, etc., and the habitat and shell of the body can be really terrible.

One way or another, the process of selling the soul or the temptations of Satan stretches over hundreds or even thousands of incarnations and does not necessarily end with a deal, since the majority of souls still choose the direction to the Light, leaving Satan empty-handed. This case of Satan chasing the soul for five incarnations, is well described by me in the screenplay Redemption**, based on my novel Redemption.

*Satan = Head of Darkness

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 Creator¹  — 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.
