Inception can be described as, “the time at which something begins.” The movie
Inception bases itself on the lives of those who live in our world, but often enter altered worlds when put into a deep sleep. Dominic Cobb the main character in the movie is a mastered thief, uses what he has learned to find and take information from the minds of others when they are at a vulnerable state and have been put into a deep sleep. It is this moment when the person who has allowed themselves to enter a deep state of sleep falls into another alter unreal world and has allowed Inception to occur. During the film, the main character is faced with the opportunity to change his ways and become rid of the wrong doing in his past. This opportunity

The same people that betrayed God in the beginning,
Adam and Eve, are the ones that tragically took away God’s hopes of spending eternity with his people. Romans 3:25- “For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past” (Romans). It wasn’t until Jesus Christ took his life that this dream God’s could be possible again. The movie Inception is direct reflections of the characters dreams, having the movie base its story line on their subconscious minds. Whether one believes it or not those who are true believers in the Christian faith god has a significant impact on our subconscious thoughts and begins to play a role in the movie’s plot. As Christians we are supposed to do what is right both morally and ethically, this is God doing his work through our subconscious thoughts except he doesn’t need the use of drugs to communicate or have an effect on us. However the uses of mind controlling substances are a necessity for these characters to travel their minds and bodies into the different parallels of wherever they want to go.

As usual good and evil are at war, in this movie it takes place when Satan comes in and creates utter chaos and the
He concludes that psychosocial and spiritual thought, is both science and theology in its elements, as well as acknowledged the ways in which human sinfulness distorts what we claim to know, and employs a Christian worldview. Entwistle argues that optimal integrative efforts combine personal and spiritual as well as intellectual knowledge and application.
They appear unconsciously and change reality whilst being unaware that any change within us has occurred.
Most certainly all theologians and readers of the Bible interpret Genesis' story of the creation of Earth's first human couple, Adam and Eve, as one of comedy-turned-tragedy, being that their blissful lives were shattered when Satan tempted Eve with the promise of knowledge by eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, the one tree in the garden that God designated as untouchable. However, Genesis does not fill-in the missing background information as to the reasons why man and woman came to be the first rational, mortal creations of God's divinity. Moreover, most believers in the Bible do not know the specific similarities and differences regarding the two humans' characteristics, and how their relationship impact each other as
God does what He does and we do what we can do and good things are the result. I have also realized there are some things that God will not do. It doesn’t mean that God can’t do them; it’s just that He won’t do them. Big difference! God has no limitations but He does have boundaries. God has placed certain restrictions upon Himself these restrictions are a reflection of His nature and essence within our created world. God created all of humanity to be participants in His creation and not to be spectators of it
When the old folks remember that the children are in the room feeling what the adults are thinking they turn on the lights to get back to normal but with this "the child is filled with darkness. He knows that every time this happens he's moved just a little closer to that darkness outside. The darkness outside is what the old folks have been talking about. It's what they've come from. It's what they endure." This is the evil he'll have to over come by himself when he's grown and his parents aren't around to look after him any longer.
God does not hold Himself distant from His creation, but He embraces it; He walks with it. He engages with that which He created. The story of Creation shows that the author of it all is personal, intimate, and cares about what He created. Act one gives us a glimpse of how the world was supposed to be; a beautiful, intimate, God –in –the –midst life of perfect satisfaction with the absence of sin. However, this all crumbled in Act two when Adam and Eve decided to disobey God and take their lives into
The divine blesses the righteous and punishes the evil man to remind their limitation and worship to the God.
Leading to conclusion that substance dualism is not a useful or applicable theory of mind (Kim, 2005).

The fantasizing film Inception directed by Christopher Nolan opened up many doors for individual’s to understand the brain’s vulnerability to new ideas while they are dreaming. The main character, Cobb, and the rest of his team open up an individual’s mind while they are dreaming, through each level of consciousness. Inception helps a person better understand that the nature of reality is within a persons mind. Christopher Nolan created the perplex concept of inception through the five levels of consciousness throughout the entire film.
In Genesis, God interacts with Adam by speaking to him face to face. Whether God was giving out instructions or punishment to Adam and Eve, he was always doing it on a personal level. The usual portrayal of God as an omniscient being is instead replaced as mentor to Adam and Eve who is trying to help them understand their existence. This close relationship is shown even when man does something wrong. The only rule that God gives to Adam is that he must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve go on to break the singular rule and be punished; but not to the extent most would think. Before partaking of the fruit God says that, "the day that you eat of it you shall die"(Genesis). Instead of dying, Adam and Eve are removed from the garden and go begin their lives. God punishes them for their actions, but also gives clothes and allows them to take the knowledge they have gained from the tree. Even after breaking the one rule that he has set for them, God allowed them to keep the knowledge they gained to begin mankind. This grace towards humanity is shown once again with Adam and Eve's children, Cain and Abel. Cain kills Abel after God accepts Abel's offering and not his own. Even with Cain having killed his own brother, God still does not punish Cain severally; "you will be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth"(Genesis). This punishment is especially seen as inadequate as Cain goes on to settle in Nod and have his own family. This mercy by God shows that he was unable to punish humanity even for the most serious of offenses. This lack of punishment shows God's sympathy for mankind because of his close relationship with them. This close relationship stems from God's close bond with mankind because of their similar image and knowledge. This relationship that began as two very similar beings, has further blossomed as God has given great responsibility to
These Sinners support turning against God to celebrate created things for themselves and others thus “deserve” to die.
A good example was with Adam and Eve being punished for the sin of pride,
Have you ever wanted to be in control of your dreams? Or, what if people can enter your dreams and can steal the information stored away in the back of your mind. In the film Inception which is directed by Christopher Nolen, which is a two and a half hour science fiction thriller that was released in 2010. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), steals corporate secrets through use of dream-sharing technology. In an odd reversal of roles, Dom is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a CEO.
My paper will be analyzing some of the philosophy behind the movie Inception, “Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a thief with the rare ability to enter people's dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious. His skill has made him a hot commodity in the world of corporate espionage but has also cost him everything he loves. Cobb gets a chance at redemption when he is offered a seemingly impossible task: Plant an idea in someone's mind. If he succeeds, it will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb's every move.” Inception is a very complex movie to understand but it is best understood with a little background in philosophy. The whole movie is based on the argument of a dream.
