What movies has to do with spirituality? So much…. If that’s the way u look at it.
When a person is in love, for him/ her every song is meant for them. Every story somehow seems to be depicting their own emotions. Every thing seem to remind them of their loved ones. As if they can forget them even for a moment. Something always touches our heart coz that seem to be just the direct connection to what we are living at that present moment.
Some how for this soul called Roohi…. Every thing takes a spiritual turn. And so here this soul is sharing some movies which for her hides a deeper meaning. What that deeper message is.
So let’s talk about movies.. :) :)
THE TRUMAN SHOW….
The movie is framed around the television show "The Truman Show." Its main character, Truman Burbank, has lived his entire life since before birth in front of cameras for the show, though he himself is unaware of this fact. Truman's life is filmed through thousands of hidden cameras, 24 hours a day and broadcast live around the world. As we live our life completely unaware that we are living a drama. 24 hours a day. Every single breath.
The producer who is truman’s father as well captures his reactions and emotions under some circumstances which are controlled or triggered by Chirstof. As we show our reactions and emotions in this drama which is controlled by the negative power Kaal, as this power throws on us trials and tribulations according to our own karmas.
Truman's hometown of Seahaven is a complete set built under a giant dome and populated by the show's actors and crew, allowing Christof to control every aspect of Truman's life, even the weather. As our MASTERS tells us how we live in this world which is merely the copy of true worlds above, pind, and, brahamand. And each one of us is actor or crew member who will act out our own part and will leave this show one day. As Kaal takes back his clothes , our bodies, one day.
To prevent Truman from discovering his false reality, Christof has invented means of dissuading his sense of exploration, including "killing" his father in a storm while on a fishing trip to instill in him a fear of the water, and making many news reports and 'adverts' about the dangers of travelling, and featuring television shows about how good it is to stay at home. As our own created dreams, desires, hopes and fears which makes us go on and on in this life , which we live according to our own senses and mind.
However, despite Christof's control, Truman has managed to behave in unexpected manners, in particular falling in love with an extra, Sylvia, instead of Meryl, the actress intended to be his wife.
Despite every precaution taken by the creator of this show, Truman starts wondering about certain incidences which seem not normal to him. After his marriage breaks apart Truman starts thinking about leaving this town. But he is unable to arrange to leave the town as some thing or another keeps cropping up. He is blocked by the inability to arrange for flights, bus breakdowns, sudden masses of traffic, and an apparent nuclear meltdown. Some how as MASTER shakes us out of our stupor and tells us the realities of our lives we try to leave this world and try to reach back home. But senses prevents us by creating blocks for us. We can do this tomorrow when my kid grows up, or when I retire , or when I have had full enjoyment of this live and when I yearn no more for these needs. I can leave tomorrow. There is still more time left…yet time keeps running by. Leaving us with nothing.
Eventually he overcomes his fear of water and manages to escape. Christof orders every actor and crew member to search the town, breaking the town's daylight cycle to help in the search. They find that Truman has managed to overcome his fear of the water and has been sailing away from the town in a small boat named Santa Maria. After restoring the broadcast, Christof orders the show's crew to create a large storm to try to capsize the boat. However, Truman's determination eventually leads Christof to terminate the storm. As Truman recovers, the boat reaches the edge of the dome, its bow piercing through the dome's painted sky. An awe-struck Truman then discovers a flight of stairs nearby, leading to a door marked "exit".
As he contemplates leaving his world, Christof speaks directly to Truman via a powerful sound system, trying to persuade him to stay and arguing that there is no more truth in the real world than there is in his own, artificial world. Truman, after a moment's thought, delivers his catchphrase, "In case I don't see you ... good afternoon, good evening, and good night," bows to his audience, and steps through the door and into the real world.
Somehow one day with the help and grace of our MASTER, we overcome our senses. We manage to start our journey of leaving this show preparing for exit. As HE shows us the door to exit this prison of continuous drama. And as we manage to find enough courage to reach that door, the tenth door, and manage to knock it and enter it as we exit this dream world full of controlled drama and pain.
This complete movie tells us all about the lives we live. For every one of us walking on this spiritual path knows as the MASTER tells us that we are living a drama already written. And we are merely actors who will act out our part and step out when the act is over. The carefully controlled atmosphere of our life created by the creator and controlled by the power who is always bent on keeping us chained here in our lives, making us live it again and again. And so many of us through out our lives are unable to judge that it’s a dream , a drama that we are living. And there is a true world somewhere which is full of love , which is our true home.
Most wonderful is the last scene of this movie as Truman shows determination to overcome not only his fear of water but a nasty storm as well. Not giving up. As we shudn’t. Once we know the reality of our lives. And once we know that we can leave this world , that there really exist a door which can take us out of this wheel of transmigrations. Only thing required now is this determination to leave it. And find that door which our MASTER tells us , is within us. The determination Truman shows when he finds out that even the sea he was sailing in was fabricated, staged. As he feels the moment’s despair. Will he be able to leave this world. But then he starts looking for a door. All it requires for us to have that much determination to reach and search that door. Which will lead us out. All it needs for us to keep looking for that door. And once we find it…. As Truman opens it and muster up his courage to step thru it…his creators voice urging him to come back and he gathers up and giving his parting shot steps out…and so as we find that door we just do that….we step out…. In the arms of our MASTER… we exit….
But how can this happen till we don’t feel that this drama is fabricated. That we are merely actors playing our part. And even if life is beautiful, there is something missin. Some thing is not rite. And we don’t belong here. How can this happen till we don’t take the decision to leave it all and finds our true home. And how can this happen till we don’t find enuf courage to find that door which can lead us out?
Coz MASTER keeps telling us. And while we are there with HIM we can feel the unreality of our existence. But as soon as we are in our own fabricated lives, we forget that we intended to leave this all. We forget to keep looking for that door. In that required 2 and half hour of time. Which we need to keep aside to search and reach for that exit door.
What we need is the real restlessness of Truman, from his controlled existence, the real skeptism for this drama called life, and his real determination to overcome our own fears and real determination to leave it all. All we really need is to be like Truman.
HAPPY FINDING AND EXITING THAT DOOR TO ALL…
PEACE AND BLISS TO ALL…
