![]() And I’m still feeling my way around in the dark as I find new rules, and scribble them in my notebook before going back to feeling my way along some more. Because after that, it gets all kinds of complicated. The one rule to rule them all is that the hero must be likable. Worse, we’ll go behind the movie itself, and discuss the inner workings of movies like this and how Hollywood works when they get started on crafting a film of this nature. And from here on out, the rest of this post will be 100% spoilers. And thankfully, I’m just that kind of messed up! hahaha. But you have to be the right kind of messed up for this one. So, yeah, hopefully I’ve warned off the right people, and excited the right people. This movie is really, ultimately about evil and how it likes to masquerade through church pews, communions, and prayer altars. A bag of spiders poured on your face to prove that God has healed you from your fear of said spiders. This is just not for you if you read “faint of heart” and you thought, maybe it’s not that bad? It’s a rifle butt to the face. OK? But first, what is this movie The Devil All the Time? Just enough of them anyway to show you how these Marble Tablets work. Or one small section of these rules anyway. ![]() Well, today, I will use the movie The Devil All the Time to explain how these rules work. Why? Because if they forsake these well-known traditions, they will be cast outside the all important ring of profit. These tablets are read, and genuflected to by the powers that be. The rules are chiseled into tablets of marble. In this book, I have this theory that is a little convoluted, but basically – Hollywood, in their making of movies, follow a system of complicated rules for what the protagonist can and cannot do. All the Devil All the Time from Netflix will set your soul on fire and leave you for dead along a back country road if you aren’t careful. And today, man, I’ve got a humdinger of a movie for you. Normally, here at THiNC., I go hunting for crazy, mindjob kind of movies that will rattle your skull and keep you thinking way long after the lights come up. With this practice, the little voice will grow quieter and less relentless, and the living will become more vivid, satisfying, immediate, and, ultimately, real.The Devil All the Time Movie Explained. Finally, sense your own physical presence, the feeling of aliveness in your body (but not your mind). From there, run a sense loop: See what you’re seeing, hear what you’re hearing, feel what you’re feeling, smell what you’re smelling, and taste what you’re tasting. Next, intentionally shift your attention from your head (which is where our energy is usually focused) into your body. Each time you hear your little voice, pause and celebrate a moment of awareness the fact that you’re hearing it means that there’s another part of you awakening-the you whom the narrator is narrating to. Each time you catch the voice in your head describing or commentating on your life, practice a new habit: directly experiencing your actual experience. With desire, willingness, and intention, any habit can be changed. ![]() Listening to the little voice in your head is a habit-one with deep roots, survival instincts, and lots of practice, but still a habit. Interestingly, such experiences-the ones in which awareness of our self disappears, when there is experience but no I doing it-are the ones that we later describe as wholly satisfying, blissful, and even divine. Awareness remains, even when we lose the felt sense of our self as the one doing our life. We do not disappear, which suggests that we are indeed more than mind. And while the mind has convinced us otherwise, what we discover is that when the mind is not there self-referencing and reminding us of our self, we still exist. We become the experience we become life, rather than the one who’s living it, and all notion of time and a separate I disappears. We're no longer the one doing the activity we're literally absorbed into the experience itself. In flow, we're so engaged in what we’re doing that we cease to be aware of our self. If you’ve ever been deeply involved in an activity, you might have experienced what’s referred to as flow state. The good news is that you don’t have to live this way.
