Spiritual Movies – A New Make Over
Spirituality is everyone’s property,and so anyone who is encouraged by higher and more beautiful things in nature can make a religious film. I have always thought that the best movies do more than just simply entertain. A good movie will inspire its viewers to live a more enlightened, ideal existence. That is why I have always loved watching spiritual movies better than some of the contemptible Hollywood thrills that I infrequently indulge in. A spiritual movie doesn’t essentially have to be one that is designed by some sort of religious group. As long as it is designed to inspire people to be better, kinder, more tolerant people, it qualifies in my book. For me, some of the most spiritual movies are actually Hollywood blockbusters.
Unlike many more simpleminded films, however, the Star Wars movies have a message that redemption is available to anyone. For example, there is quite a bit that is spiritual about the Star Wars movies. They deal with an ageless question: the struggle of good versus evil. Even Darth Vader, through the involvement of Luke Skywalker, is able to become a good guy in the end. Of course, some spiritual videos are more scarcely targeted. Sometimes, just seeing a spiritual leader speaking to you on the screen is sufficient to help you break through that last boundary of misunderstanding and really get what they’re explaining. One thing that I found interesting is how spiritual movies can teach specific spiritual truths that may be hard to understand through a book.
It has a lot to do with the method the movie sets the tone too. Some of my preferred spiritual movies are the more pragmatic ones. I’ve been using guided meditation videos for about six months now, and I have to say that they have really helped me. Having gentle, spiritual music, beautiful images, and just the right flow will help your mind to understand things that might be difficult to get otherwise. Sometimes, it is difficult to get into the right mindset to contemplate by yourself. Even when I begin watching these movies a lot, they usually continue to work for me for quite a while. Having spiritual movies where wise teachers are able to talk me through it actually makes it a lot easier for me. When I get tired of the same old guided meditation film, I can always go out and get another one and give that one a rest for a while.
My library of spiritual movies has gotten quite extensive, as you might imagine, so I have plenty of choices of different meditations to use. It is nice to see that technology can really be used to bring us closer to the spirit.
