Spiritual Movie Review:
Cold Souls |
This movie was recommended by Stephen Simon of Spiritual Cinema Circle, and I don't know how much I can share about it without revealing too much of both the plot and the essence. The main character of Cold Souls is Paul Giamatti, who is actually playing himself - and he has a mid-life crisis and in an effort to stop the pain he feels inside, he decides to have his soul extracted.
His action sheds light on what many of us might call "insanity," and forces us to ask a simple question: "Is it enough to not suffer? Or do we need joy and happiness in our lives to be fully human?" At its core, Cold Souls is a movie about the journey outwards in the search for deeper meaning in life, only to return back to our starting place, perhaps transformed if we're fortunate.
This is definitely a movie worth watching, and quite frankly, it may take a few viewings to capture the full essence of Cold Souls. One message is clear though: When we try to be somebody other than ourselves, life gets very complicated very quickly. |

Spiritual Book Review:
Money and the Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks |
The second book in a series of four, Money, and the Law of Attraction delves into the most prevalent of human concerns affected by the law of attraction: health and finances. Filled with practical teachings channeled from Abraham (the group of non-physical entities/spirits that communicate through Esther Hicks), this book is a fundamental guide to learning how to attract and manifest financial abundance and physical well-being.
According to Abraham, the law of attraction is based on the concept of everything, both material and non-material, as a vibration. In our natural state, we resonate perfectly with all other vibrations and can only be in accord with abundance or well-being, or any other desirable state. How do we achieve our natural state? This book tells you, offering both the practical details and the big picture for learning new ways of looking at life and manifesting your desires. As with most spiritual teachings, this book doesn’t offer anything we don’t already know—at some level. The key is to activate that level of knowing and being, so that we can achieve harmony and balance with the vibrational well-being that surrounds us.
Even if you’ve read other books on the law of attraction, you’ll find yourself returning to Esther and Jerry Hicks’ salient guidance for reactivating that harmonic state where whatever experience we desire, we can create. Thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of people attest that the powerful teachings in this book work!
