In this world there is a constant repitition of
history of warfare and trouble. If we are objective,
we begin to behold events as a sort of continuous
cosmic motion picture wherein the same basic story is
played over and over again, only in different times
and places with different characters.

You wouldn’t sit through the same movie repeatedly, it
would soon lose its interest. So we can grant to God
that He has provided for changes in history and
contrasts in good and evil to give variety to the
entertainment in this cosmic movie house.

We can say that God should never have created this
world in which there is so much trouble. But on the
other hand, the saints say that if you knew you were
Gods, you wouldn’t mind it. If you watch a movie, you
like a lot of action rather than something dull, don’t
you? That is the way you should enjoy this world.
Look upon life as a movie, and then you will know why
God created it. Our problem is that we forget to see
it as God’s entertainment.

Through scripture, God has said that we are made in
His image. As such, we could behold this world drama
as a movie, even as He does, if we but look to that
soul perfection within and realize our unity with the
Divine. Then this Cosmic movie, with its horrors of
disease and poverty and atomic bombs, will appear to
us only as real as the anamolies we experience in a
movie house.

When we have finished seeing the motion picture, we
know that nobody was killed, nobody was sufering. In
fact, that truth is the only answer I see when I look
at the drama of life. It is nothing but an electrical
shadow-show, a play of light and shadows. Everything
is the vibration of God’s consciousness into
electromagnetic images.

The essence of those images cannot be severed by a
sword, not burned, nor drowned, nor suffer pain of any
sort. It is not born nor does it die. It only passes
through a few changes. If we could watch this world
as God watches it, and as the saints do, we would free
from the seeming reality of this dreaming. In that
consciousness I can understand that this world was
created for entertainment; and that it is not
necessary either to God or to us.
