The original reason why I pulled this clip, is because for one, it’s a prelude to later scene, and two, it really captures the essence of what freedom and spirit are all about.
I just love this role Patrick Swayze played in the movie Point Break. He’s an awakened individual now living in the current moment, and as the (LEO) leader of his group, he expresses to them that although they have accumulated a good chunk of wealth robbing banks, money was never really the issue.
It was about hope and the preservation of the human spirit.
Throughout time, a lot of people have compared life to theatrics, a play, or more specifically, a tragedy or a drama. Swayze answers that by saying, “It’s not a tragedy if you die doing what you love.”
And, the later scene this is a prelude to is below.

Keanu Reeves said, “People are dead, the rides over.”
Patrick Swayze answers, “No, I decide when it’s over.”
There, Swayze is taking his stance against the law, and he let’s Reeves know that he’s willing to pay the ultimate price.
This last clip I added because out of all the times I’ve watched this movie, I just now heard him mention Antarctica, which happens to be the place that generates the powerful ocean currents that drive the 50-year storm.
Barbara Hand Clow, in her book, Chiron, tells us that whenever the number 50 is involved, it indicates a crises. How interesting it is indeed to hear the number 50 mention in the same scene as the Antarctica.
This can only be a foreshadow to let us know that the current crises is about FREEDOM and ANTARCTICA, not the global warming.
Once you get past all the action in this movie, there’s so much more hidden and deeper in terms of foreshadowing, indirect messages, and spirituality.
The fact that they’re wearing masks of several United States Presidents while they’re robbing the banks, hints that it’s our own elected officials that are the real thieves.
Patrick Swayze plays a character named Bodhi. Bodhi comes from Hinduism. A Bodhisattva is a person on an enlightened path and trying to become a Buddha or Bodhi.
Freedom, Antarctica, and it’s not a tragedy if you die doing what you love; that pretty much sums it up and it’s coming straight from the Buddha himself.
