Hi, I am new to The Great Network forums. I find myself often inspired by popular fantasy and movies such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Lion King, etc. and find deep spiritual inspiration in these kinds of works. I am currrently working on my own series of books about Ancient Egypt and the mythology of Osiris (Auwsar), Isis (Auwsat) and Horus (Haruw). This series will be targeted toward the Star Wars Harry Potter Narnia type fan genre. As I create, it's a journey for me and throughout my life, I am deeply touched by parts of books and films--where it reminds me of my own connection with the Divine. Because of what these authors shared with me bringing me years of so much laughter, joy, and tears, I want to create these books that I know will reach out to share with others this experience. I especiallly adore those books where the Divine reaches out to comfort the protaganist or the protaganist is a hero/heroine manifestation of the Divine and so I am creating a series with the same kind of feel-good feeling. I am just beginning to write Chapter 3 of Book 1 and already experience these feelings of connecting to Spirit and can't wait to get this out for others to also enjoy.
I would love to hear from you on any mythology, fantasy, movies you've experienced where a certain part just grabbed you deep inside. Could you share your insights? When was there a moment reading your favourite book or movie where you just cried, "Yes!" or were drawn to tears or perhaps felt awed? Since it is my goal to reach out to people spiritually with my stories (even reaching to those who don't know they're receiving mystical teachings), your insights will help me and inspire me as I'm putting together my series of books. When you share, please describe the part that touched you in detail like what scene was going on and what was happening or what the characters said that touched you.
I love all the types of books & movies you mentioned, but when I read your question, the scene that just popped into my head comes from the movie "Powder", about the extroidinary, albino boy that everyone wants to study. He is so advanced that everyone is afraid of him and the scene I cry watching is him with Jeff Goldblum's character sitting at a table and he realizes how starved Jeremy is for affection, understanding and the human touch as he strokes his head. He says something to the effect of being wary of humanity outgrowing its capacity for compassion. I also like where Jeremy connects the deputy to the deer he has shot in order for him to experience its fear. I love the whole movie.
The Goulies, though cheep showed the dangers of a spirituality for your own sake and your sake alone. It was the most realistic film on Goetia I saw until The Magick of Solomon-Church of Hermetic Sciences.
