Best Spiritual Cinema

One of my favorite spiritual scenes in a movie appears in the DC Comics release of Wonder Woman, staring the Israeli actress, singer, martial artist, Gal Gadot.  Before leaving the island where she grew up, she took a sword locked up in a tower to help in her battle to save humanity known to her people as “The GOD Sword”.

Once protected as a princess in a violent battle with her nemesis, the metal is shattered.  She despairs, no longer knowing how to engage, to overcome, and to defeat the darkness.  The nemesis pauses, realizing she does not know a truth about herself and declares, “The sword never had any power.  YOU are the God Sword”.

Recognizing this within herself - her strength - her will - her imagination expands beyond what she could have ever to have believed to be possible.  She was the power all along.  Imagine waking up from delusion and being awakened into believing in ourselves.  What may it be to know with every atom within us that the light of the Divine and the creative power of the Divine Creator is within us.   

What would it be that our preparations, searching, and spiritual growth is about increasing our radiance through Divine Connection and Conversation?  What could it be if we believed that Divine light glows within us.  What would be possible if we as a community gathered like stars to be the light to glow in the dark!  Not just as stars on the ceilings of our bedrooms, but a people energized and charged for healing and transformation.

May we Always BE prepared to be and to receive the source of light and power that can make this miracle happen.
