The Movie Watchers Guide is awesome! It is a wonderful resource to keep on the coffee table for helping to choose which movie to watch, and to help 'set up' every movie for maximum enlightenment potential! It also has a forgiveness worksheet process included, to help keep the focus on using movie watching for awakening, rather than getting lost.
The movie reviews in the guide are clear and profound - they really help to set the mind up to watch for particular themes.
No more using movies for escapism and sleep! It's time to wake up! And what funner way than with the movies!

I cannot watch a movie without checking if it's in the MWGE (new 5th edition) first. This book has given me a totally new way of watching movies - for awakening - how amazing is that? Just sit back, popcorn optional & be guided through the film with David's words. What are the themes of the movie? What is arising in the mind as I watch? I can use David's 'levels of mind' tool or his online Spiri which can be found on messenger to find the hidden beliefs that keep me in some form of fear-thinking. This is so much quicker than actually going through these dark experiences in the movie - they can be used to see all my reactions & thoughts that no longer serve. One of the best tools to make awakening a more enjoyable ride!

Free your mind!!! The best imaginable way to watch movies - combine it with awakening to your True Identity in spirit. This book contains a ton of reviews using A Course in Miracles metaphysics as a foundation to teach deep spiritual ideas and support the heartfelt desire to be happy! I use this guide all the time to help me pick out a movie and guide me through an upset or loosen me from a concept I wasn't even aware of! Personally, I've seen really amazing shifts and insights from using the guide this way, with movies providing a fun but truly supportive way of getting there. Highly recommended!!!

I love this book. I am seeing movies in a whole new way. The way David is using movies for healing the mind is just incredible. I never knew you could pick a movie and pick a character from that movie and watch how they play out the problems, upset or thoughts you are going through. As the movie plays out, your character goes through the healing for you, so you don't have to have it played out for you in the real world. This is not a book, it is a priceless tool used to heal your mind.
