Bingo, Lynda. This is the event and the story of our time, as reluctant as  
we are to identify with the new age movement. Don't blame the messengers; 
it's  Einstein's fault.
 
Thank you for sharing this. Maybe I'll go to San Luis Obispo this weekend  
to see it (and my grandkids.)
 
Love and blessings,
Jann

Alan called to recommend a film he had just seen.   It is a documentary so 
not on the big screen, but is being shown in Asheville  and Charlotte, NC, 
May 6, at art theaters.  Check the link to see when it  is near you.  We 
haven't seen it yet and won't be able to get to either  of those venues.  I 
thought others of you might appreciate it as  well.

There is another  Christian film by the name I AM, so when you google you 
have to specify"  I AM, the Documentary."
 

 
Film maker Tom Shadyac, creator of Bruce Almighty, among  other money 
makers, sets out on a quest to seek answers to the above  questions through 
interviewing Desmond Tutu, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky and  others. Along the way 
he's in a traumatizing bike accident and encounters  his own mortality which 
puts another perspective on his project.  He  discovers that humans appear 
to be hardwired for connection and  compassion.  He learns that it is not so 
much a matter of what we can DO  to make the world better, but what we can 
BE which calls for a transforming of  being.  From there action naturally 
will follow, he says.   

"Shadyac is  an engaging and persuasive guide as we experience the 
remarkable journey that  is I AM. With great wit, warmth, curiosity, and masterful 
storytelling skills,  he reveals what science now tells us is one of the 
principal truths of the  universe, a message that is as simple as it is 
significant:  We are all  connected –   connected to each other and to  everything 
around us.  “My hope is that I AM is a window into Truth, a  glimpse into the 
miracle, the mystery and magic of who we really are, and of  the basic 
nature of the connection and unity of all  things..." 
 
Has  a familiar ring to it!  
 
Lynda, thanks to Alan
