Exodus : Gods and Kings

Very cool interpretation of Exodus

Luckily i had read a review before going
otherwise i would have been bewildered by the movie

which is a interpretation, re-adaptation of Moses and the Pharaohs story

what i liked :

- No magic as a naive mind would believe it
naive, is to think that magic is something you acquire and show off to surprise weak minded people
while magic is to be able to SEE magic all around you
ONLY because

-you developed faith in YOURSELF
so the development of the personality of moses
was his self work
his capacity to be honest to himself
reflected by his application to be upfront with others
like not to say what others expect you to hear
but stand on your own feet, be grounded enough to speak your truth

-this leads to the interpretation of magic
which is in other stories too far away from our reality
which means our mind attribute the God's help in such a disassociated way
with our own deeds and environement

that this movie gave back credit to the "scientific' explanation of the seven curses
BUT
this is as i say the HOW
not the WHY of the WHAT
which is not treated except referred to as being Moses God

so i deepen here the WHY saying that this is because
Israelis and the Egyptians consciousnesses were linked
and was in struggle
hence is the balance of fairness and justice is broken
then curse comes

and YES it is from God
as we are ALL bearing God light within
YES it is centralised by the Supreme God light
which is like a Living Intelligence Overpowering fights of two group of consciousness

which leads me to the personality of Moses once again,

-as he said to his people
you honored me with your trust
i honor you with my faith

before asking them to follow his order to cross the sea
for people were rebelling in doing so, implying they are no more slaves

literally speaking,
till they cross not the sea they remain slaves
because Pharaohs army is coming from behind

and symbolically,
as our body is indeed the recorder of the WHOLE history of Mankind
the sea is the nabhi which once crossed BRINGS YOU TO YOUR MASTERY

sure,
slaves still talking of being free makes no sense to Moses ears
but it was nicely put in this movie
this focus, zoom on Moses personality
not only in terms of rhetorical effect
but in terms of TRUTH

freedom comes only when you are no more in fear
and cross this sea of illusion
then you can really speak of Mastery

-i loved the embodiment of God in a child
totally unexpected
again i don't say i would agree strictly speaking that God is a child

but as much as God is not a fire
lol
HE is not a child as well
but it was pointing at the symbol of Innocence

or again the Child in Us that we call so in westernised way

though i would say the child was a brat child lol
for he wanted to see Pharaohs on their knees begging for his mercy

God to me is a Loving God
not a brat like angry God
so to me this part of the child speech more refers to the israeli consciousness of that time
than the Glory of God itself which is Shining Peace for me.

back to the miracles lol
yes the scientific rendering is cool
because it enables you to see that what you may find as coincidence is a miracle
when it happens with the right timing for you

but what is the probability that you encounter miracle in your daily life?
very few
so even less when it is a question of life and death on a mass scale

which means
when miracles occur
then let's have eyes to acknowledge the SOURCE/WHAT after having acknowledge the HOW
the WHAT gives APPRECIATION to the HOW

and appreciation is all that is needed for a blessing to remain
without it,
well you end up like the pharao : with no more blessings (no more family, city, army ...)

-the far sightedness of Moses
when he says his people won't remain united
as they were only because so far they had a common goal
which was to run away from Pharaohs
and once they fly away from him, then?

very wise saying of his
which myself i realised
yogis are united in meditation
but then, small groups can be identified because of our own common goal/centers of interests/level of consciousness
which is like this France Rally

only because the COMMON WISH for PEACE in the country
all people gathered together under the flag of the Republic

despite the diverging level of consciousness
so the clear lesson is that

thanks to these moments of COMMON GOAL
people gather together
and it enables for HUMANITY consciousness
to get A STEP/'pallier' forward

and once it is done
everyone is back to his own center of interest
this is power struggle after


and only a few go on with the realisation of this STEP taken
to take it further up.

this is why Moses is a Messenger
to his people
because he had enough insight
for himself
to live his truth

that he could lead/guide them (not order)
and show them that mastery of SELF INDEED leads to FREEDOM

TILL the time they, or part of those who have eyes to see
start too
themselves
on an individual basis
seeking for their TRUTH WITHIN
their OWN light of GOD

to gain this very mastery.

hence
Kings and Gods

Thumb up for this movie
again
in few words that i may jot down to describe it :

Realistic though Magic

Moses a Self Realised Man vs Pharaohs a self Made man
God vs King

and yes i always thought
when i learned about the God within
then what is the difference between a guy who knows that God light is within
that he is God within
and a guy who calls himself God like Pharaoh
why one is divine and the other the ego

well timely lol
let's call it a miracle
i learned in a saying of krishnamurti

when you SEE yourself as you really are with all your defects
and try NOT to be better
then this VERY observation of them
will TRANSFORM them
and you will BE beautiful

so he said
truthfully THE key word :

just TRY NOT to be someone else
BE YOURSELF

and that is EXACTLY WHAT the moses personality
painted here did

it simply showed that Moses was HIMSELF

ps : when i write i just jot down strong key moments
so for all the not so english wording and mistakes
and lack of clarity please don't mind
