For the last movie session of the 2026 Strawberry Fields Fiesta, David Hoffmeister was guided to show Francis Xu's favorite animated movie. This movie is a masterpiece in showing how the ego works and how to forgive it by avoiding private thoughts and people-pleasing. In a way, the ego is a secluded tower that conceals our true self. It will only see the light when we take our private thoughts out of this tower and let them go.
In Heaven, nothing is hidden because we are only One. Yet, we are imprisoned in a meaningless world created by our meaningless thoughts. All of them are attack thoughts because God did not create them. As Jesus teaches us, we can escape the (meaningless) world we see by giving up attack thoughts. That's what we see the main character do in her journey to return to her true home, running away from the one the ego convinced her to hide herself in.
Throughout this journey, she encounters shadow figures that project various fragments of the past, offering the mind a divine opportunity for forgiveness. Whether these characters appear benevolent or menacing, they represent two sides of a single illusion: the belief that we are separate from our Creator. By releasing this judgment, she finds her way back to her true home. As this masterpiece illustrates, the same path of forgiveness awaits us all.
