A universal assembly for true discernment
Please read and contemplate quotes 33-36 in The Seven Steps to Awakening with your inner teacher. This is the last quote:
Holding in their hands the mirror, the scripture which declares, “The Self alone is to be known,” many alas, study with care the text and commentaries; only few seek the Self and gain true life.

Join us for Movie Watcher’s Group on Sunday, February 24 at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT. This month’s movie, Joe vs. The Volcano, stars Tom Hanks, as Joe, a squashed bug of a guy under the heel of a hideous corporation, working in a dehumanizing job. Then everything changes in this romantic comedy about courage and a man’s soul … of a man coming back to life on a journey that takes him halfway around the world. At its heart, this movie is a fairy tale filled with travels and travails, obstacles and the overcoming of them, adventure and romance, symbols and archetypes. It’s a deeply searching and existential film that doubles as both a satire and a romantic comedy. It is a deeply moving, almost transcendent film.
Here is a link to the playsheet designed to assist with a Spirit centered movie watching experience: Joe vs. The Volcano PlaySheet
The movie is available on Itunes, Google Play, Vudu and Youtube. Watch the movie with Spirit, then come and share your insights with the group.

Even like a dream this waking world is but a mind-conceived appearance in mind space. Hence greatness lies in firmly ending indicative knowledge and the folly of fondness for outer objects.
