The hint from the movie, Interstellar

The hint from the movie, Interstellar

Interstellar’s director, Christopher Nolan, made an incredible movie. In order to complete the script for the movie, the writer (Director Nolan’s younger brother) went back to school and studied physics for four years. Since the movie was firmly based upon fundamental theories, and since it successfully visualized an assortment of theories related to physics, critics have said that this movie has shown the theories of physics more realistically than any other movie that dealt with similar content. In addition, the film industry gave [it] good reviews, saying that this movie also did a good job of being packed with compelling factors, but also family love, which touched our hearts.

During the scene in which the father and his daughter communicated beyond the limit of time and space, I was very surprised to see that the movie suggested that ‘love’, which transcends space, time, and dimension, is the absolute principle for the existence of the universe. Consequently, since the the existence of the Divine Being was assumed in the movie, the movie indirectly hinted that the one, only, and most definite way 'we' (human beings) are able to commune with 'They’ is also 'love'. I was very surprised that the director and producer had this idea.

Seeing that this type of movie had been made, it made me think that people must 'know' that the purpose and the principle of the creation of universe is the completion of the world of love between the Divine Being and human beings, in short, it is ‘love’. However, when I reflected on the Word, [I came to think that] people know about love only physically, so it ends as ‘knowledge’, but if we actually become the Divine Being’s love by keeping the Divine Being close, and if we become closer to the Divine Being by loving Him, that ‘knowledge’ becomes ‘realization’. I was able to understand the Word [about realizing] once more.

In the movie, there is a scene in which the daughter defined some abnormal phenomenon as an act of a ‘ghost’ because it was could not be explained with common sense. However, when she ‘realized’, she came to know that this phenomenon was actually caused by her beloved ‘father’. This scene is considered to be the most important scene that portrays the main theme of this movie. In the end, through that ‘realization’, her ‘perception’ changed, and finally, she found a solution that would save mankind. Through the medium of film, this movie opened our eyes to the message. “Realization changes perception. Changing your perception is realizing. Through realizing, human beings' salvation, which permits us to go before the 'Divine Being', is fulfilled.”

The knowledge of the physical body is a 'limited realization', which eventually frustrates us due to the finiteness of the physical body. Our 'spirit' and 'soul' coming to know is finally 'realising correctly'. When our spirits realize, we will realize that the life of our physical bodies is not just a life of ‘dying’ but the process of ‘going on the path of becoming eternal’. The Word also says that a person who correctly realizes spiritually is a person who becomes unchained.

Those who realize clearly by changing their perceptions

The Word says: A person who realizes will, himself, urgently take action upon his responsibility, and his ‘action’ s will become completely different. It is the same as a person who knows the answer writing down the answer with his pen immediately, without any hesitation.

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

This is one of the things that Haile Selassie, a past Emperor of Ethiopia, once said. He led Ethiopia to become a charter member of the United Nations and he implemented the eradication of slavery as a policy of modernization, in such ways as the eradication of slavery. He was exiled as a result of the invasion of Italy but was eventually restored to independence and presided over the formation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).

For a person who realizes correctly by changing their perception, it is time to take action with Heaven’s ‘spiritual’ method of ‘love’. It is time to raise your voice of justice that speaks the truth because now is ‘the most urgent time’ in history.

Eventually, we will find the 'answer', just as people in God's history have always found the answer.
