Going to the Movies 100 Years from Now

Pursah: A hundred years from now you won’t just be able to go to the movies, you’ll be able to go IN the movie. They’ll be holographic – totally lifelike. You’ll be able to meet and interact with people who aren’t there, like in your life now, and they will seem completely real to you, right down to the touch. You already have the technology today where you can feel things that aren’t there. In the future, you’ll have movies that mimic reality so completely that you won’t be able to tell the difference between the real illusion and the phony illusion.

Gary: Wow. Can you, like, have sex in the movie and stuff?

Pursah: Yes, but of course there will be a big moral debate about it. The Christian right will freak, and those kinds of movies won’t be available everywhere.

Gary: Imagine the temptation to think you’re a body, and to keep coming back for more, so you can act out your fantasies!

Pursah: Down, boy. Remember something, Gary. If you’re a Course in Miracles student, then it doesn’t matter if the image you’re seeing is one that’s in a movie that seems completely real, or one you see in your everyday life that seems completely real. They are both equally forgivable because they are both equally untrue. Even if you forget where you are, all you ever have to do is forgive what’s right in front of your face.
