David Hoffmeister gives an indepth review of the adventure movie “The Bourne Ultimatium”.Film Review: The Bourne Ultimatum | Text View
Here we have yet another parable of Awakening from the amnesia of forgetfulness and false identity to the Truth of Love. On the surface of consciousness everything seems like a battle for survival in the world of bodies and seeming friends and enemies.
Dark memories of the voluntary decision to separate from God have been denied and repressed, yet the world can but outpicture a decision that is kept hidden and out of awareness. The world was not only a cover up of our True Identity, the Christ, the world was also a displacement of the ego's 'death wish' - the belief that death could triumph over Eternal Life and be 'acted out' in form.
The seemingly 'guilty secret' in this movie is locked away and protected in a safe in Noah's CIA office. This is symbolic of the ego's desire to hide and guard and protect the belief in death, which was nothing more than a voluntary mistake that needs to be exposed as such. The sleep of forgetfulness about the 'original decision' seems to result in feverish dreams of attack and defense until the original lie has been exposed and released.
Private thoughts can never be kept hidden, and once exposed it is recognized that they never had the power to enslave. Mistakes are corrected, and the belief in death has been undone. Rejoice and be glad! Our True Identity remains unchanged. Jason Bourne represents a fake identity, but also a mind that is insearch of the truth about itself.
Bourne must first uncover and release the original lie before he can be free.
Until the mind gets to the bottom of everything, it can only search. But once the lie has been exposed and released, the mind rises to True Freedom in Christ. In the movie, once the false identity of Jason Bourne has been released and the original lie has been exposed, David splashes into the water (Holy Spirit) and is Still, and then he rises and swims to freedom.
Simon Ross, Pamela Landy, and Nicky Parsons represent in the movie the desire to join in the quest for freedom and find the Truth. Noah, Ezra, and Albert represent in the movie the ego's desire to preserve itself and protect the lie.
The smile on David's friend Nicky's face at the end of the movie says it all.
Forgiveness prevails. Eternity radiates. True Freedom/Happiness is God's Will.
Enjoy the fast paced show! It's a gem for those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
