The Original Screenplay

Why do we as creative individuals experience so many challenges in pursuing our dreams for success and fulfillment as filmmakers, writers, artists and musicians. I believe it is because we are living according to some distorted image of who we are, instead of who we were created to become. To completely understand my point of view I would like to use the metaphor of life being a movie created by God, the Infinite Filmmaker. Just imagine, if you can, that the life you are living is a movie that is based on a screenplay... well actually it is based on two screenplays. The one that was created by the Infinite Filmmaker which I will refer to as the "original screenplay" and the one created by you which we will call the "secondary screenplay".

The "Original Screenplay" for this movie was created from the mind of God, the Infinite Filmmaker when It first conceived of this movie called, “Life”. Now being from the mind of the Infinite, this original screenplay is a perfect script that is whole and complete, lacking nothing, and tells the story of Life, all life, as it was intended to be. It is all Good because everthing that is created by the Infinite Filmmaker has its intention in Goodness and It cannot create anything that is contrary to Itself and does not move toward complete expression of Itself. This script reflects the life that we were intended to live and is the one that can be used to create the perfect life for you.

The "Secondary Screenplay" is the one that most of us are using to create the movie we are now living. This script is the one that was adulterated by producers who are living in fear, self-doubt and insecurities. It causes most of the sadness and disappointments in our life and yet we choose to create the movie of our life based on this script.

We have to take a look at the drama that we are creating in our movie called “Life” and be open to the idea of throwing away this Secondary Script and recreating a life of humor and joy by going back to the Original Script that was created in the mind of The Infinite Filmmaker.

You have to ask yourself, “who is writing the script for your movie called “Life”? Is it the producers that are living in fear or the Infinite Filmmaker? Have you ever thought about why the same things keep happening in your life over and over and over again. It is because you keep going back to the same script. The one that was messed up by the producers and the one that is messing up your life. The movie is only as good as the script! You hear this all the time and so why would you keep using the same script. You tell me anyone in Hollywood who would continue to use the same script one disasterous film after another, yet you do the same thing in your movie called “Life.” Many of you don’t know that there is a script for your life that is perfect, whole and complete and you don’t know how to get your hands on this script. Believe me, this script does exist and is right within your reach, but in order to see it you have to be willing to make some changes in the way you view your life. You have to change the way you think, and the way you speak, and even the way you feel about yourself in order to create the perfect life that is based on the Original Screenplay.

Many people who have studied The Infinite Filmmaker Teachings, have told me that it was very challenging to change their life. They have been living under the influence of the secondary screenplay for so long that they felt that there is no hope for changing it. They have been taking personal development seminars, reading self-help books, attending churches and synagogs and nothing seemed to be working for them until they discovered a way to understand the spiritual principles that govern the universe by viewing life a s a movie created by the Infinite Filmmaker.

We were created in the image and likeness of God, the Infinite Filmmaker and as characters in this amazing movie called "Life" we were meant to thrive and flourish as unique individual expressions of this Divine Filmmaker. The way to discover who we are and why we are here as creative individuals in the entertainment business is to get into the Mind of the Infinite Filmmaker and begin to understand the principles that the Original Screenplay is based upon.

The Triune Nature of the Infinite Filmmaker

This article is a continuation of The “God, The Infinite Filmmaker” article. Please keep in mind that I use the metaphor of life being a movie created by God, The Infinite Filmmaker.

In order to completely understand how the Infinite Filmmaker creates, we must first understand the Triune nature of the Infinite Filmmaker and how this movie called life was created from the beginning of time. One of the most popular biographies on the Infinite Filmmaker and where we will get the clearest understanding of how It creates this Movie called “Life” is in the Bible. So, without sounding too dogmatic I will draw your attention to the first line in the Old Testament… “In the beginning, God”. We have to realize that this Infinite Filmmaker existed before any movie treatment, script or storyboard was created for this movie called “Life”. In the beginning there was Spirit or Intelligence only, no manifest universe, no form, no planets, no script, no characters, no cast, no crew and no movie. There was nothing… just a blank slate. It clearly states that the whole vision for this movie called “Life” was created in the Mind of this Infinite Being and proceeded forth from the spoken word. “And God said let there be light and there was light” (St. John chapter 1). The universe was clearly created from the spoken word and came forth out of the mouth of the Infinite Filmmaker. Therefore everything exists in this movie through the mouth or word of the Infinite Filmmaker.

From where did the Infinite Filmmaker get Its’ idea for this movie called “Life”? How was everything in this movie first conceived and out of what was everything in this universe made? How did we come into being and receive life? It is easy to comprehend when we understand that the nature of The Infinite Filmmaker is a unity with three distinctive attributes. Spirit, Soul and Body.

Spirit is First cause or the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker that brings all things into existence. Spirit is the consciousness of the Infinite Filmmaker that knows itself and sees itself in everything that It creates. It is all, as all and through all and it is infinite in Its ability to create. There is nothing that it is not and nothing that it cannot and does not do. The original script that was created in the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker comes from First Cause. It is the original idea set in the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker for this movie called “Life”. For the purposes of this article I will refer to the screenplay for this movie called “Life” as originating from first cause and is the original idea set in the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker. We will talk later about the infinite screenplay and how we can get our hands on it. But for now let’s just understand that it originated in the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker.

The Soul on the other hand is the creative medium through which Spirit works. You can look at it as the fertile soil through which the seed grows into the plant. Or in terms of this movie called “Life” we can refer to it as the cast and crew who takes the script and through their own faculties create the movie that exists in the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker. The Soul is the subjective mind of the Infinite Filmmaker and it has no volition of Its own. It only takes what Spirit feeds it and creates from that. It has no mind of its own. It only does what it is told to do by Infinite Mind or Spirit. It does this through Its own Law of creation. Just as there are physical laws in the universe that determine the behavior of physical substance, so does the Spiritual realm have Laws that govern Its function. A good example of this Law is the creation of an oak tree out of an acorn. There is a law in place that brings the tree into existence. The Cast and Crew takes the Vision of the Infinite Filmmaker and creates this movie using these Laws.

The Body is everything that we experience in this physical world including our thoughts, emotions and feelings. In this movie called “Life” we can consider it the final print that is the result of Spirit (The Infinite Filmmaker) working with the Soul (The cast and crew) to create the Body (the movie itself) which is the result of all the work done by the cast and crew or by the Spirit acting upon the soul. It is the idea made manifest as the actual cellulite film that brings the movie into form so that we can experience the vision of the Infinite Filmmaker.

What Happens in the Macrocosm is also happening in the Microcosm of our individual life. Just as Infinite Mind sets the Law into motion to create Form in the universe, It also creates the circumstances and experiences in our personal life’s movie. Everything that we experience comes from that One Infinite Mind whose nature is one of perfection. So you may be wondering that if the Infinite Filmmaker is capable of creating everything to perfection in our life and if Its intention is to do so, then why is life such a struggle and so imperfect? The answer is the subject of my next article… “One With The Infinite Filmmaker”.

Divinely Inspired

Life for me has always been a struggle as an independent filmmaker. I totally bought into the idea that I was a down and out filmmaker and I lived it to the fullest. Is there anyone reading this that has bought into the "Race Consciousness" within the industry that tells you life as a filmmaker is nothing but a struggle? I did! To me life was always a struggle, where one project after another would end in failure. First it was the conscious film festival that I was creating during the dot com generation. While creating the festival I totally put my life on hold because I thought that I could make a difference in the world. Then my hard drive crashed and I lost two years of work along with my "life" that was so tied up in this venture. I was not going to be defeated and I got another computer, this time with a 120 gigabyte back-up drive and proceeded to re-create my film festival only this time with the newest technology by Macromedia. I spent many, many weeks learning to use Flash, Dreamweaver and other web designing programs. Again I put my life on hold to pursue my dream thinking this is it! This is going to bring me success and abundance in my life even though everything else was missing. I felt empty inside and yet I couldn't let go of the belief that my life would be meaningless without it. I pushed ahead for another year re-creating the festival... Yes, I pushed ahead during a divorce, then a romance break-up and even through the dot-com crash. I continued to work on the festival site day and night. I was miserable yet, I couldn't let go because at that point it became who I was and letting it go would be like ending my life. I Shot a number of films that ended up on the shelf, wrote some screenplays that never sold, and attempted to create a video production company. I became defined by my work and nothing was going to change that. Does this sound familiar to any of you?

Finally one day after many years of trying to make my mark in the industry, I woke up feeling depressed and discouraged saying that I am not getting out of bed until God tells me what to do with my life. Well I ended up staying in bed all day, praying and meditating, and trying to listen to that "Still Small Voice" deep inside. I kept getting the word to let go of everything that I was trying to create in my life, even the film festival but I just couldn't do it. I finally fell asleep and then the miracle happened. I woke up at about three o'clock in the morning and started to write a book about this life that we are living as being a movie that is created by an Infinite Filmmaker. I must have written about 30 pages that night and had no idea what I was going to do with it. Then a series of events took place that I believe were Divinely guided. Somebody suggested that I go to the Agape Revelation Conference and because I couldn't afford it I should call about volunteering. On the day of registration for the conference, one of the ministers left a message that they needed help at the conference and if I was interested to just show up at the conference and ask for the coordinator. To make a long story short, I attended the conference and while there received a free gift certificate to the Millionaire Mind Intensive workshop by T. Harv Eker one of the top motivational speakers in the country. I still had no idea what this was all about and I didn't plan on going to the workshop, but then a friend that I met at the conference called me and asked if I wanted to go to the intensive workshop with her. I attended the workshop and as I watched T. Harv Eker motivate the audience I knew that this had something to do with the new book I was writing. Then at the end of the workshop they were offering a course called Train The Trainer, for people who wanted to do what Mr. Eker was doing and I knew I just had to sign up for the course. It was $3,000 and I went back and forth over whether I could afford it or not. I was in total anxiety over the money and looking back I should have trusted in Spirit, because they agreed to let me pay $300 a month for the next year, which I did. It ended up that during the year I volunteered for some classes and received $600 in coupons which I applied to my tuition. The real miracle comes in when the sales manager who I met at the classes, offered my $1500 to edit a promo video for Mr. Eker's new book. Good or Good? It ended up costing me $900 for the course. I later went on to take the Train The Trainer II class and am now a certified trainer, trained by one of the greatest teachers and coaches in the country. Through Divine Inspiration, I have transformed my love of filmmaking into teaching Spiritual Principles for Success to creative individuals in the entertainment business.

The blessing continues today when I recently received a scholarship to study for my Master's Degree in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica . I am presently coaching and teaching classes based on the book that I started to write on that fateful morning when I let go of how I thought my life should unfold and allowed myself to open up to God's plan for my life.


I believe that when we step out of our own way and allow Spirit to guide us to our true calling in life all the struggle and pain that we are facing will just fade away into the nothingness from where it came.

The Infinite Filmmaker

Some of the principles that I speak of in this blog can be very challenging to understand, so I will be using a metaphor of life... your life and my life, as being a movie created by the Infinite Filmmaker and whatever the Infinite Filmmaker can do in the macrocosm of the Universal movie, which is limitless, it can do in the microcosm of our individual life’s movie. Are you with me here? If not, then take some time to really think about this concept and begin to look around you and view everything that you are experiencing in your life as a fictitious movie that can be changed at any moment and as you continue with this blog, and future blogs, you will witness incredible changes in your life due to this first principle… “everything is consciousness and when you transform your consciousness everything in your life will reflect that change”.

First let’s take a look at God, The Infinite Filmmaker who is in charge of creating everything in this movie called “Life”. So what do we know about this Infinite Filmmaker that will serve us in creating a life that works and works more efficiently for each and every one of us? We do know that the Infinite Filmmaker, by It’s very nature, is Infinite and there is nothing that it can’t and doesn’t do to create everything in this movie called, “Life”. If you look around you, you will see that the Infinite Filmmaker is not holding back anything from appearing in It’s movie and therefore everything has the potential to become part of your individual movie called “Life”. If I look around me I see a lavish world that is filled with so much substance and supply that it is nearly mind boggling and leaves me in awe of the Infinite Filmmakers ability to create whatever It desires to create in this movie called “Life”. There is nothing lacking in this universal movie and everything is possible for us to experience in our individual movie without any limitation… from the wardrobe department, to the location and set design departments, everything is possible for us to experience in this movie. What you will learn from these blogs is that there is nothing to keep you from experiencing everything that you desire in your life.

First let’s think about this Infinite Filmmaker who has the ability to create everything that It desires in this universal movie called “Life”. Now if I were a filmmaker and I had that kind of power, then there is nothing that I would hold back from creating in my movie and I would make sure everything that I could think of was written into the screenplay. The question to be considered here is that if the Infinite Filmmaker has the power to create anything and everything in this universal movie, then why is there so much lack and limitation in our lives?  I personally don’t believe that the Infinite Filmmaker, who’s nature is one of expansion and creation, is holding back anything from your life and I further affirm that it is us that is blocking any experiences that may bring us peace, joy, harmony and success in our movie called “Life”. The goal is to discover what it is that is blocking us from receiving all of our good in this life and then to eliminate it from our consciousness.

Stay tuned for my next Blog where I will present to you ideas that will literally open you up to creating that perfect life that the Infinite Filmmaker has in mind for you. For now, contemplate and meditate on the idea of just how Infinite the creator of this universal movie is and how freely and without limitation it creates everything in this universal movie called “Life”.

One with the Infinite Filmmaker

In my last Blog I spoke about the Omnipotent nature of the Infinite Filmmaker and eluded to the fact that it is us and not the Infinite Filmmaker, that is blocking all of our good in this movie called "Life." In this Blog we will examine some of the principles that the infinite Filmmaker uses to create everything in this universe in such a perfect way including our lives. We will learn about the law of cause and effect and discover how to apply this law to create prosperity, abundance and success in your life as a creative individual. "Your life is created in the exact same way that the Divine creator creates everything in the universe... from the infinite solar system to the birth of a child it is all created in the same way. There is a law behind all creation and just as physical laws, mathematical laws, and scientific laws can be understood and then utilized, so too can spiritual laws be used for creating everything in your life in such a perfect way. Up until now most of you have been using these same laws to create lack, limitation and disharmony in your life. It's the same law, only different results. We will learn to use these laws for the purpose of tapping into the Infinite Power of the universe to create positive results in our life's movie."

Contrary to what one may think, we are not subject to the causes around us and do have control over the results that we experience in our movie called "Life." We live in a world of causes and effects and yet we can choose to set the causes in motion that will create the effect that we desire. We are not at the mercy of an inconsistent filmmaker who chooses to create havoc in this universal movie

There is one great cause behind everything in this universal movie and everything is an effect or result of this one great cause which I will call The Infinite Filmmaker for the purpose of this blog. Nothing can exist without this one cause for everything is a reflection of this One Cause and just as you cannot separate a wave from the ocean, or the gold from a gold pen, the gold is the gold pen and so too are we and everything we experience in this movie called life... one with the Infinite Filmmaker. Wherever we are the Infinite Filmmaker is there also. We cannot be seperated from the source no matter how hard we try and this is the second principle that we must understand in order to create change in our life. When you are looking at yourself you are seeing the Infinite Filmmaker and all is just as it should be.

Each character in this movie called "Life" is a unique individual expression of the Infinite Filmmaker. There are no two characters alike in this movie and there is something that each one of you can do that no one else can do. Just as we being creative artists have this need to express ourselves in our films by creating characters that are some aspect of ourselves, so does the Infinite filmmaker have this need to express Itself In and as our lives. We are made of the same substance of the Infinite Filmmaker and everything that the Infinite Filmmaker can do, which is limitless, It can have Its characters do also. Each individual character is created in the image and likeness of the Divine Filmmaker and how can it be otherwise? How can It create something that It is not, since It is everything? Each individual, you and I, in this movie called "Life" has in us the potential to become anything and experience everything that the Divine Filmmaker can think of without limitation, because there is no limit in the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker! We can and do experience everything that is held in the mind of this Divine Filmmaker and that is why life is so rich with experiences and there is no limit to those experiences. Think about this, we are in this movie called "Life" and experiencing whatever it is that the Divine Creator can imagine us experiencing and nothing is being held back. Now let me ask you something the same thing that I had to ask myself many years ago? If God, The Infinite Filmmaker is not holding back anything from Its creation of this movie called "Life", then who is keeping us from being all that we were meant to be. Who is keeping us from experiencing success in this life? Who is keeping us from fully expressing our unlimited selves? Does anybody have an answer? Of course we are and we are doing it through our consciousness, whether we are aware of it or not.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

What you will learn in my workshops is that there is nothing to keep you from creating success in your life. As a matter of fact the original script that was written for your life by the Infinite Filmmaker, has success written all over it. What you will discover in these workshops, is that you are supported by an infinite Intelligence that is everywhere present, and is just waiting to reveal itself in and as and through your life as an Infinite Filmmaker and it does so through our consciousness.

Please come back next month and I will tell you how to get a hold of the script that was written by the Infinite Filmmaker for that perfect life that you were meant to be experiencing. Till then start to look within and there you will catch glimpses of the Infinite Screenplay.

We are all connected

This blog was inspired by something that happened to me which was a reminder that we are definitely connected to the source of all that is. In my last blog I spoke about our oneness with Source or what I refer to as "The Infinite Filmmaker" who is creating this movie called "Life" that we are all participating in. I mentioned that, just as a wave can never be separate from the ocean, so can we never be separate from the source of our life.
Because the Infinite Filmmaker expresses every single person, place or thing in this movie called "Life" as a unique emanation of itself,  then it stands to reason that we ultimately are connected to everything in this movie just as we are connected to the source. Like strands of a gigantic web we are connected to one another and to everything that exists in this universe. You've heard of "six degrees of separation" well it goes a lot deeper than just six degrees and thus we are infinitely connected to everything in our movie called "Life". What I am about to teach you is how to connect with everything and everybody so that you can co-create the movie of your life... A movie that is full of prosperity, abundance, wealth, perfect right work, and whatever else you desire to bring into your life. What I am about to share with you is only a small example of how we can use these spiritual principles to connect with the right people, jobs, money, work and whatever else we need to bring us the success we deserve. I have witnessed the power of intention so many times in my life that it is becoming second nature to me and I probably wouldn't have thought anything about what happened tonight if it weren't for me wanting to make other people aware of the infinite power that is at our command.
We are already connected to it but are not in the consciousness that allows us to experience it. So without wasting any more time, here is my story. I brought my 10 year old daughter to the movies tonight and she wanted to play a game on my cell phone while we were waiting to go into the theatre. I completely forgot about the phone until after the movie was over and we arrived at the car and I asked her for my phone. She said it was in her pocket and then seeing the concerned look on her face I didn't have to ask what was wrong... I knew that my cell phone was missing. So we went back into the theatre and searched vehemently under the seats, in every isle within 4 rows of where we were sitting and found nothing. Now you can imagine how worried I was and what was going through my mind. "I can't lose my phone, I need it for my business. I'll never be able to replace all the phone numbers in my phone book, They charge a fortune to replace a phone that is still under the contract"... it went on and on. These thoughts were entering my mind every time we searched somewhere and as a result kept coming up empty handed. We searched in the women's room, at the concession stand, the ticket booth, the lost and found... everywhere and yet there was nothing to be found. I was beginning to get more and more worried and full of fear. Finally when we were ready to leave and give up on it, I brought my daughter aside and reminded her of the time two years earlier when we left a bag full of articles that we had puschased in Sav-on and couldn't find it. I refreshed her memory of how we had asked everyone in the store where it could be found and no one knew anything about it... That is until we just stopped and did a prayer of faith knowing that the bag would show up. At that moment my daughter had an instinct of where it could be found and ran over to the magazine rack only to discover that it wasn't there... but what was standing there instead of the bag was a manager who asked what we were looking for and when we told him he said, "you mean the light blue shopping bag with the kitchen utensils in it?"
I told my daughter that we could do the same thing and we proceeded to center ourselves and did a treatment (I will explain what this is and how to do one at another time) but for now it is what is sometimes referred to as affirmative prayer. I then asked her to follow her instinct and she started to head out of the theatre to the mall and I told her that maybe we should check the movie theatre one more time before we follow our path back to the car. I walked into the theatre and went right to the seat that we were sitting in... the one that I must have checked at least a dozen times earlier that evening and sure enough it was lying there in plain sight. I know it wasn't there before or else I would have seen it, but like a miracle, there it was right under my nose. The miracle wasn't that the phone vanished and then suddenly appeared 20 minutes later... the miracle was that I looked right past it due to my fear, worry, concern and negative thinking. For all practical appearances the phone had disappeared from my sight because it had disappeared from my consciousness as I was thinking in terms of separation. I believed that I and my phone were not connected and that is exactly what I had experienced as my reality..."my phone was lost". I believed that my phone was lost and I was going to have to pay the consequences and that is exactly what I experienced. That is until my daughter and I affirmed in our prayer that there is no separation between anything in this universe and that we are as connected to the cell phone as the ocean is to the wave, the gold is to the gold pen and that we were as connected to the phone as we are to our source and suddenly the fear left and I began to experience and see another reality. That is how it appeared right under my nose the second time that I went into the theatre with the consciousness that it would be found ... knowing I had nothing to fear. It was the Christ who simply said to those he healed, "go your faith has healed you". Now this leads me to the bigger picture which is that if we continue believing that we are separate from our good, if we believe we are separate from the things that we desire in life and pursue our dreams and visions with this consciousness of separation we are never going to find what we are looking for... we will only find that which we fear or doubt. We have to go within and pray believing that we already have that which we desire in order for it to manifest. Just as my cell phone was manifest through my consciousness. We have to recognize that we are inevitably connected to every person, place and thing that is going to bring us our Good and then those people, places and things will appear like magic in our life. This is a reciprocal universe it gives us back exactly what we think into it. So if you are an actor, writer, director, musician or filmmaker and you think that your opportunities for success are lost and can never be found, then I invite you to go within with me right her and now and just affirm that there is nothing lost to the Infinite Filmmaker and that everything It needs to create this perfect movie called "life" our life, is within reach and readily available for us. Every person who can green light our project is not lost, but found and is there for our benefit. Every financier, every producer, every director, every executive that can give us that "yes", every publisher that can put us on the best seller list, every manager that can encourage us to go for our dreams and every agent that can connect us to that golden opportunity is not lost in our consciousness and is therefore made manifest right here and right now. Affirm that you are connected to everyone and then just allow them to appear one by one in your life as you let go of the belief of separation, lack and limitation and open to the knowledge that it is already done in the mind of the Infinite Filmmaker. We just have to have faith and be willing to receive whatever it is that we are in need of.
