George MacDonald, Part 1
“The Mystical World of George MacDonald” This film is now available on DVD for free to my YouTube subscribers. I may sell it eventually, but I want my supporters here to have it first and at no cost. All you have to do is send me a message here or through the email at my website and ask for it. Feel free to show it at your church, school, or other special events. Part 1 – What is Reality? This is the 1st part from a 51-minute documentary on the life and fantasy works of 19th century Scottish author–George MacDonald. I had abandoned the project in 2007 but eventually went back and finished it. It takes a long time to do everything by myself: writing the script, programming all the lettering effects and other special effects, hunting down photos, and especially composing and recording background music along with the narration. The entire script is culled from my book: “CS Lewis Called Him Master (Exploring the Life & Adult Fantasy Works of George MacDonald)”. MacDonald was a very big influence on later writers such as CS Lewis and GK Chesterton. MacDonald is often spoken of as having had a mystical imagination. He excelled in fantasy literature of a spiritual nature, the best of which would probably be “Lilith”, “Phantastes”, “The Portent”, and a children’s book called “At the Back of the North Wind”.

Ein sehr schöner Song und ein toller Text: Johnny Cash- If I could read my mind: If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie, ‘Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong, With chains around my feet. You know that ghost is me. And I will never be set free As long as there’s a ghost that you can’t see. If I could read your mind, love, What a tale your thoughts would tell. Just like a paperback novel, The kind the drugstores sell. When you reached the part where the heartaches come, The hero would be me. But heroes often fail, And you won’t read that book again Because the ending’s just too hard to take! I’d walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three way script. A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me. But for now, love, let’s be real; I never thought I could act this way And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it. I don’t know where we went wrong, But the feeling’s gone And I just can’t get it back. If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie, ‘Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong. With chains upon my feet. But stories always end, If you read between the lines, You’ll know that I’m just tryin’ to understand The feelin’s that you lack. I never thought I could feel this way And I’ve got to say that I just don’t get it. I don’t know where we went wrong, But the …
