Spiritual Inspiration in the Movies - Bohemian Rapsody
Comment
I very much enjoy some of the music from Queen - it's tremendously soulful, especially the vocals of Freddie Mercury and the lead guitar of Brian May connecting at deep levels. It was this that drew me to see the film "Bohemian Rapsody" last night. What a tremendous film, jam packed with spiritual inspiration and insight (assuming we're looking).
Firstly it amplifies the importance of having the courage to be you, whatever the feedback. But then also that when we connect up with the mainstream of soul, it will inevitably activate the shadow side too. The question is, what happens in the lulls where all that energy is not getting an external feeback loop? I'd say many stars suffer from this dynamic; but it's a reflection we can all gain from, learning to change down the gears too, and looking for the connecting loops of energy in other ways - breathing for example, looking for the reflections multidimensiuonally and in other forms of multidimensional life.
Above all, what struck me very deeply about the film, was how fragile and vulnerable Freddie Mercury was in his 'normal' life, and how human his problems. And yet when he got on stage, he'd found the perfect vehicle to transcend and unleash the soul - it's like he transcended the frail human aspect and became "God-like" as he let his soul soar. An example for sure to us all.
Here's the trailer. If you resonate with the subject, it's a great film. I was glued throughout, and the finale at the Live Aid concert was simply thrilling...
