This is a film that should win the Academy Award for Best Picture–definitely for cinematography and script. It's a spiritual movie. It's a sacred movie. And it even has a few sex scenes that will delight your lust. I don't think any American director alive–that we know about–could make a film like this. The ones that we know about, we know about them because they make the commercial sex and violence films and wouldn't have an inkling what a spiritual film would be. The ones who make spiritual films, you don't know about because they don't get the distribution. Just like musicians who have something to say don't get the airplay or the major record contracts.

But back to the film. To me the subject matter of the film was the healing of the soul. Today you can open up any health or New Age magazine and you see hundreds of healers and methods to heal. If all of this was true, no one would be sick from anything! First of all, human beings need to become sacred themselves in order to heal. And it definitely helps if you can live in a sacred environment and be nourished by a spiritual master (a doctor of healing of the soul and body), and then go back to your daily life with the hope that the inner person is changed.

This film provided all the necessary ingredients for true healing to take place. The environment and the teacher are the two main ingredients to first heal the soul, and then the body will follow. Americans today want instant healing by taking the pills that the American Medical Association advertises on the nightly news. Medicine has its place, but not as a cure-all for every ailment, and hospitals are not the most sacred healing environments. Modern medicine deals with the attempt to heal the symptom but not the root cause of the disease.

The cycle of life, as the movie shows, is put into action by the Creator for the benefit of all humankind–the four seasons represent the seasons of our lives and the divine doors that we need to walk through. In Asian environments that are still sacred, there is a door that one should ceremoniously walk through, even though it is placed beside a huge opening that you can also walk through. This is to help you to remember that there is self-will and there is God's will. Which way do you walk, in all things?

For those of you who need healing in some capacity, don't wait until it's almost too late. Global Community Communications Alliance has created the Soulistic Medical Institute, with a sacred healing environment and healing practitioners.
