A Movie Review: The Miracle

The Miracle on Netflix

The Miracle is on Netflix, a Turkish movie with subtitles, based on a true story, see pictures on imdb.com.

A teacher in Turkey in the 1960s runs off to a remote village to avoid getting drafted. Unfortunately, there is no school in the village. He despairs but then agrees to teach only if girls are included in a new school. The teacher begins teaching a disabled man as well. Drama, comedy, and a miracle!

Quote from the movie: Muhtar Davut: Some people have eyes in their hearts. They see the world through those eyes. They see everything through those eyes.

Do Not Play Games with Sex

A quote from the World-Teacher, Adi Da:

Do not play games with sex. It is a very powerful deluding force, and a diversion from the Inherent Divine Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Reality Itself, into conditional (or cosmic) illusions.

You do not even see the human body as it is. You see it through pictures, through mind. You put on a mummers’ show for one another. In the most common case, women are the “something”, the sexual “object” for men–and men are the same for women. It is a style. But it is also an illusion about you. It is a game….

Regarding “Art and Chaos”

A rock rose.

Adi Da wrote an essay called “Art and Chaos“. Here is a sentence that I really like:

The conceptual aspect of all art is the mental animation of the intrinsic self-apprehension of order.

Art is making sense out of chaos.
