One of the things I felt while watching the film, is that close family ties, of mothers and sons, and man and woman in particular, are important to our spiritual selves. In Buddhist life, not much attention is paid to this, and in Osho’s teaching, he holds that family ties are unimportant, except that he said about himself that he had spent various past lives with different people.
But I think the people we spend our lives with definitely leave traces in our spiritual selves. In a way the film slightly reminded me of Michael Newton’s book Journey of Souls, which was less bound to ideas of the psychic body, but had some similar thoughts about families of souls.

"It was only a sunny smile,
and little it cost in the giving,
but like morning light
it scattered the night
and made the day worth living."

Went for a skinny dip two days in a row...
It's so calming just watching the waves/thoughts come ,say their piece, then depart.

I'm tired of promising things to every New Year. How about the Year be good to me? It's about time Life looked on the up, for me, for a change. I've had it with 2024...
