Don't kill your inner child, or you'll never enter heaven at all.

Matthew 18:2-4 NIV
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Yes

For "god" is really the universal energy that pervades everything. Problem is everything has gross matter which the life energy is trapped inside so getting to it is difficult. Easier to get it out of one thing than from another.

"This mineral water can be extracted only from those things which contain it; and that thing from which it is most easily obtained is difficult to discover, as is also the mode of its extraction. It dissolves gold without violence, is friendly to it washes away its impurities, and is white, warm, and clear. Without our Mercury, Alchemy could not be a science, but only a vain and empty pretence. If you can obtain it, you have the key of the whole work, with which you can open the most secret chambers of knowledge. Its nature is the same as that of gold, but its substance is different, and the preparation of it causes a great stench."

A Brief Guide to the Celestial Ruby, by Eirenaeus Philalethes, 1694 AD
Why didn't they make a Indianna Jones and the philosophers stone. The kingdom of the crystal skulls is about aliens and the new one that's out (now maybe) is about time travel or something:

There have beeen films galore all referring to the Stone. But consider the first of the Indianna films. Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was the Ark that contained the Stone. It's huge energy was a danger to anyone who didn't know how to handle it properly. Hence it was carrid by poles and only the high priest was allowed to touch it.

Really this was an artefact of incredible power, probably electrical and radiation. Read the following and you'll get a feel for its power:


It contained THE Stone which has many names, manna, alkahest, Soma, Pearl of Great Price, Fountain Of Youth, Elixir Of Life etc.

Hebrews 9:3-4 (NIV) Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.


Another great you should get hold of if you can is Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain". It deals with the processes of alchemy, changing rebirth etc. A beautiful film.

Are you thinking of Indiana Jones and the temple of doom? Stones of shiva?

Nope.

Be aware that the "Stone" is not an actual stone or rock as the name might suggest. It is a substance that can be a powder, or liquid or a waxy substance.

That's a reproduction of the Ark of the covenant. Where's the stone thing fit in? In the ark? There was sand in there.

The film presented what it wanted to present. You'll never get the truth from films, at least not directly. Many films will contain hidden secrets and messages if you look well. Stanley Kubrik's masterpieces like 2001 A Space Odyssey and The Shining were full of them.

There is a movie that is absolutely a true representation of life, want to know which movie that is.
