What would YOU do if one day you began to see angels, auras, energy, feel people’s emotions and hear the thoughts of those around you? What if life as you knew it suddenly changed in an instant and your reality was forever altered? “Wake Up” is Jonas Elrod’s true journey to understand WHY he could suddenly see these things and what it all meant. “Wake Up” is touching and eye opening. I feel it will help many others begin to understand that the reality we see is NOT necessarily the only reality that exists.
Please watch the trailer here for this amazing film and read the review below:
Jonas’s “opening” happens shortly before a traumatic event that will change life as he knows it. He was given this “gift/curse” (as he calls it) to “see” right before someone he loved dearly was taken away. The beginning of the movie we follow Jonas to doctors, psychologists and to his parents to KNOW and get a feel for him. We are shown glimpses of his very close relationship with his girlfriend Mara and how this is affecting them. The film makes the point of having you get a feel of Jonas as a person. After the film had done its background work I certainly did not believe Jonas crazy, on drugs or medically impaired. I liked him and Mara and wanted to follow him on his journey to understand more.
When it is medically proven Jonas is clearly NOT suffering from any medical condition and that he is indeed sane he begins a spiritual quest to find out what is going on. We go with Jonas to visit healers, scientists, a Buddhist Center, A Sufi Mystic, Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment and also to his vision quest which included sweat lodges. The journey is fascinating and amazing as we are shown we are NOT alone by any means and we are certainly not as limited as we have believed. There is talk of consciousness, spirits in the afterlife and awakening and what that all has to do with the life we are living now.
There are many amazing teachers and scientists featured in this movie. I know I gained some amazing resources and A-HA moments watching this film. I enjoyed learning about JZ Knight’s “Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment” and the experiences they give to people to have them awaken into a deeper state of consciousness. Blindfolded archery was just one. I liked JZ Knight’s quoting Jesus from the Bible:
"The Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you.
When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known...
what I can do, you can do much greater"
The school teaches you to expand your consciousness and access parts of the brain you did not know how to utilize before. When you begin to tap into that unlimited-ness of being you awaken. Knowing our unlimited power we truly can create our reality and live the life of our dreams.What inspiring messages! 
Beautiful quotes and thoughts from scientists and deep thinkers were found throughout. Some of my favorites;
“Who wants to be woken up? Because the real experience is just this complete shift in consciousness and it’s terrifying. Because suddenly the parameters of your world change. The known world is no longer the known world.” Later,… “You take the journey from the ego self to ones divine nature… enlightenment.” by Sufi Mystic Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Ph.D.
“We’re all connected by energy. Not just the energy from the cosmos. Interconnected with the energy we ourselves generate. One of the reasons psychics can receive information is because they have turned on their receivers – their antennas are pointed in the right direction. But the implication is that the information is always there. Just because you don’t have your television set turned on does not mean your television signal is not there”. – Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology, Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Surgery at the University of Arizona
“Whatever this thing is I have — you can really see..there’s kind of a physical connection – it is like a strong connection holding everyone and everything together..from people to me, to plants and animals… like a big spiderweb.. so it makes you consider your actions and your thoughts and try to change.” – by Jonas Elrod
Jonas also shows us information about some experiments that proved the power of consciousness on an individual and global level. The Global Consciousness Project at Princeton University run in part by Roger Nelson, Ph.D.,experimental psychologist presented AMAZING information. These studies show that if a bunch of people from around the world think or feel the same way at the same time (through a happy or unhappy event) they indeed can change reality. Powerful stuff leaving you wanting to know more!
The movie takes you to many amazing places and it is a pleasure to be experiencing Jonas’ emotions and journey. There are many informative moments. There are also tender moments. Many times you want to pause the movie and digest what you just heard. I am happy I got to witness a bit of Jonas’ voyage and I feel many others would benefit from watching it too.
Please visit their site to find out more, order the film or watch online. “Wake Up” is an important film for our time and the shift going on. I am happy Jonas was brave enough to tell his story and take us along with him. As always, I love comments.
Wow Jenny..Thank you..for the introduction to the movie..for the quotes..for the inspiration..
I’m finding since NY my heart has opened more fully than ever..I’m releasing, embracing..magic is everywhere..it is awesome and overwhelming at the same time..there are moments I’m almost like a third person watching my being navigate on earth..
People like yourself inspire me to keep stepping in this direction and to celebrate the very transformations/gifts I may have previously been “afraid” of..Thank you!!
Yea Joy! So wonderful to have you here my beautiful friend!
Isn’t it interesting that we are brought up afraid of those gifts that actually hold the key to unlocking our unlimited power of being? Amazing really and once you “let go” of that fear watch out Universe! The world looks different, reality IS NEVER the same and we can be and feel more ourselves than we ever knew we were capable of.
I have been opening since our Rochester weekend too Joy. It was profound for me on so many levels. Magic IS everywhere and wow is the world beautiful!
When I think of you Joy I immediately remember the feeling of AWE I had walking beside you at the Expo – watching you bring JOY to everyone’s life you interacted with – if only for a second. It fills my heart with love and inspiration each time. Thank YOU Joy for the love and healing you bring to this world by being in it. I look forward to watching us both open up to all the magic this Universe has to offer and celebrating!!!
Much Love, xo

Dear Jenny, this film feels like an uplifting way to share the increasingly widespread experience of awakening to energy vibration. Some people accept degrees of their expanding awareness without fear. Other people react with fear. A palliative care ward is an interesting place to be where humans nearing the end of the physical journey begin to catch glimpses of non-physical energy. Some patients are afraid , thinking they hallucinate and others begin to connverse more openly with deceased relatives, angels and other energy beings. Blessings to you for all you do and are.
WOW, Jenny!
Can’t wait to see this movie.
It reinforces that we all have a channel to Infinite Intelligence – perhaps not as clearly as Jonas – but it is there.
We must develop our intuition more. So much to learn and be aware of.
Thanks for the great review. This is definitley a home run.
Hi Liara!
What a pleasure to see you – it’s been a while and I have been thinking about you lately.
I was talking to a woman yesterday in my community who worked for hospice for years and her words were, “before death people often ‘went sane”"
. I found that an interesting way to look at it but it makes sense. I have also heard people begin to expand beyond the “perceived reality” at the end of life and can talk to deceased relative, friends, etc. and what a gift that is as they leave this world to know they will not be alone and that it is not the end.
A pleasure as always Liara to read your words. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting. This is an amazing film.
Love,
Jenny
Hi Corinne,
Thanks so much for your kind and supportive words! This movie was a pleasure to review because it IS what I have discovered to be true in the last few years and it expresses it so well. I don’t “see” as clearly as Jonas but have had many of my psychic gifts open up with the work I have been doing and certainly KNOW now that reality is not what I always thought it to be. We all have so much to learn and open up to and the beautiful thing is films like ALLOW that to happen for so many.
Thanks for reading and your wonderful comment Corinne.
Love and hugs,
Jenny
Hi Jenny
Oooooh! Movies like this send spirals of energy through me and just excite me so!
I have never heard of Jonas or this movie until now – THANK YOU
– but it is definitely one that is right up my ally and I will love (with Markus) watching it! How phenomenal.
And yes, we will not explain things like this intellectually, it goes so much deeper than that…. I have no doubt this movie will be a wild ride!
Hi Evita,
Yes you an Markus will LOVE this one!
It got me real excited too as this is so important for this time. Seeing and experiencing other realities is getting so wide-spread and I am so grateful Jonas was brave enough to step up and tell his story. Let’s talk about it after you see it Evita – can’t wait!
Miss you and love you, xoxo
Jenny
AWESOME, I LOVE it!!! I also love seeing your smiling face at the bottom of this webpage….but this movie seems right up my alley!
Much love Jenny,
Todd
Aww thanks Todd.
Miss YOUR smiling face and hope to see it SOON in NYC! You WOULD love this movie – thanks so much for checking out my review and for commenting.
Much love and big hugs,
Jenny
Oh boy does that trailer makes me want to watch the movie! I just started out on my spritual journey not long ago and I must say the experience has been exhilarating to some extent.. sort of like a roller coaster ride, but I am enjoying every bit of it on the way!
Blessings
HI sweet Jenny, So good to see you and feel you again. You did a wonderful review of this. I had the thought of how natural this is. It’s who we ALL are and what we ALL are capable of. I look forward to the day when we as a collective species have evolved enough that we see this type of thing as normal as breathing. Because for me it is, for Simon Hay it is, for so many others it is. Really, for us all is it is. It’s just remembering.
It will be wonderful for the children born into a world when their society “sees” them. And sees them not as children who have to be indoctrinated or filled with information to be made whole, but rather as already whole beings, fully developed cognizant souls who need to be listened to because they bring fresh wisdom from the Energetic Fabric that makes up all life. That is Love. That IS.
Much love to your dear Jenny,
Robin
Hi Robin,
A pleasure to have you here!
Thanks for reading the review. I feel like everything I have “learned” in the spiritual realm these last 3 years has been a remembering so resonate with what you’re saying deeply. 
Like a veil is lifted and we can finally see clearly the truth of the world instead of what we were programmed to see… amazing and I do not yet have the constant sight you and Simon have… but have caught glimpses in the work I do and BOY IS IT BEAUTIFUL!!!
I, too look forward to WHAT these remembrances mean for the children and our future. I try and raise my children with this awareness.
Thank you so much for the honor of the mentions on your site Robin. I feel your words and love and they are both LOVELY!!!
Much Love and big hugs, xoxo
Jenny
This is amazing, especially having met Simon- now to find time to watch, thanks for sharing
love
