Larry King and Oprah are talking about conscious creation, and movie audiences all over the world have learned from What the Bleep?! and The Secret that we create our own reality. Now author Brent Marchant goes to the movies and shows us how to view films of all sorts from a conscious creation perspective and from them learn how to get the picture of our own lives.

Each chapter introduces a particular conscious creation concept and explores five or six movies that illustrate and edify the concept at hand. As we examine onscreen characters’ mistakes and successes from a conscious creation perspective, we can begin to apply what we learn to our own lives.

Representing a broad range of films and film genres—from blockbusters like The Right Stuff and Sophie’s Choice to indies like Syriana and Good Night and Good Luck to classics like Vertigo and It’s a Wonderful Life—Marchant uses the various story lines and characters to address the difficulties and stumbling blocks we all encounter when trying to become adept conscious creators. Get the Picture is entertaining, positive, and empowering. You’ll never watch a movie the same way again.
