Join us for Movie Watcher’s Group on Sunday, November 26 at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT.   This month’s movies, “The Game” and “The Man Who Knew Too Little,” are a matched set, demonstrating that waking up can be Hard or Easy.

These movies are symbols for the two ways to look at and experience the dream of separation. Our discussion will focus on the difference between the two and making the choice. Watch “The Game” first and then “The Man Who Knew Too Little.”

Both movies are available to rent on ITunes and Amazon (not Prime).  In addition, you can watch both movies with commentary by John Mark Stroud at his website: OneWhoWakes.Org.

Watch the movies with Spirit, then come and share your insights with the group.  Guided movie watching allows us to experience our world and practice forgiveness without leaving our living room!  It is recommended you join with Spirit in meditation or prayer prior to viewing the movie and then journal after.  Watch for common themes, for characters you like or don’t like, for situations that seem to cause discomfort or joy.  Contemplate what your reactions to the movie tell you about your beliefs about yourself and the world you live in.  Bring what you learn back to the group and learn from others’ movie watching experience as well.  Enjoy the movies and don’t forget to watch your mind!

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert will interview Mary Reed. This is our second satsang with Mary. Mary recently wrote: “Recently a ‘rushing’ awareness flooded through my heart like a dam that had broken loose. I was swept back through key events and shown the reason why I had gone ‘into’ specific people and places. It was all for a very, very good reason…and I was also shown that right now is the time to share that reason.” We have invited Mary back to share her new insights.

Mary Reed is an “accidental” mystic who, following eleven years of profound, involuntary visions and insights into divine realms, surrendered her executive life in Washington, DC to explore her spiritual gifts in a remote Buddhist nunnery in India. She grew up without any interest in religion but with an innate knowing that humans had more ability to access greater wisdom than most seemed to realize.

Mary inspires audiences far and wide with her story and perspectives. Using the unique lens of mysticism through which she has been viewing both Divine and earthly realms for fifteen years, Mary’s 2016 tour focused on the answer to a single question: If Love is all we need, then why hasn’t it ever been enough to make our suffering go away? In her words, “If we want a world in which Love really is all we need, then we need to know what Love really is. And if we as individuals want to be part of the awakening experience that is manifesting that world, then we need to know what it is to BE that Love.”

Join us for Movie Watcher’s Group on Sunday, October 29  at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT.   This month’s movie is Revolver.

During his seven-year stint imprisoned in solitary confinement Jake learns of a specific strategy (referred to as “The Formula”) that is supposed to lead its user to win every game. The Formula itself was discovered by two unnamed men who inhabited adjacent cells on either side of Jake’s own.

The chess expert and the con man plan to leave their cells simultaneously, and promise to take Jake with them. But when they disappear from their cells, they leave Jake behind to serve the remaining two years of his sentence. Upon his release, Jake  garners a reputation that leads many casinos to fear his freakishly good ‘luck’, and he is blacklisted by many casinos in fear that he will earn money in them. The Formula applies to any game, and is often exemplified by Jake’s apparent mastery of chess. The story revolves around Jake’s epiphanic awakening, as he learns how to apply the Formula to the ‘game’ of life.

The movie is available on ITunes, VUDU and Youtube or on DVD Netflix plan (not streaming).  Watch the movie with Spirit, then come and share your insights with the group.  Guided movie watching allows us to experience our world and practice forgiveness without leaving our living room!  It is recommended you join with Spirit in meditation or prayer prior to viewing the movie and then journal after.  Watch for common themes, for characters you like or don’t like, for situations that seem to cause discomfort or joy.  Contemplate what your reactions to the movie tell you about your beliefs about yourself and the world you live in.  Bring what you learn back to the group and learn from others’ movie watching experience as well.  Enjoy the movie and don’t forget to watch your mind!

Join us for Movie Watcher’s Group on Sunday, September 24  at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT.   This month’s movie is Café de Flore. A love story about people separated by time and place but connected in profound and mysterious ways. Atmospheric, fantastical, tragic and hopeful, the film chronicles the parallel fates of Jacqueline, a young mother with a disabled son in 1960s Paris, and Antoine, a recently divorced, successful DJ in present day Montreal. What binds the two stories together is love – euphoric, obsessive, tragic, youthful, timeless love.

The movie is available on Amazon and Youtube or on DVD Netflix plan (not streaming).  Watch the movie with Spirit, then come and share your insights with the group.  Guided movie watching allows us to experience our world and practice forgiveness without leaving our living room!  It is recommended you join with Spirit in meditation or prayer prior to viewing the movie and then journal after.  Watch for common themes, for characters you like or don’t like, for situations that seem to cause discomfort or joy.  Contemplate what your reactions to the movie tell you about your beliefs about yourself and the world you live in.  Bring what you learn back to the group and learn from others’ movie watching experience as well.  Enjoy the movie and don’t forget to watch your mind!
