The link above will take you to the trailer for the film. What does it mean to be an American revolutionary today? Grace Lee Boggs is a 98-year-old Chinese American woman in Detroit whose vision of revolution will surprise you. A writer, activist, and philosopher rooted for more than 70 years in the African American movement, she has devoted her life to an evolving revolution that encompasses the contradictions of America’s past and its potentially radical future.

JWM hand written note on (Spirit – What Life is About)
From Michael May
This may or may not have any interest to you, but I am passing this along in an attempt to be helpful and relevant. Feel free to delete the e-mail if you experience it as neither. The DVD video art form Life Journey #1 – The Ultimate Encounter was designed for Group Discussion and about 98% of the material can be traced back to its origins in the interior life nurture of the Order. It also features presentations by Gene Marshall, Don Cramer, Charles Hahn, Charles Lingo, Ed Shinn, JWM, and other folks with whom you are familiar. If you dig out the DVD I sent to you a year or so ago, you will also find a CD with Group Discussion Questions. I realize group discussion may not be what you have in mind for the Archives gathering, however, I thought I would suggest this an an option. We are busy working on Life Journey #2 – The Ultimate Reality which is basically an Imaginal Education remake of the God Lecture. We hope to have it ready for release in 2016.
Nonetheless, if you wish to refresh yourself on some of the material from the 12 Modules of Life Journey #1, you can connect with any of the following links for short samples:

Steve Harrington has suggested we consider some sort of readers theater or dramatic reenactment, something that brings to life our historic memory for current time.
Jan Sanders will connect with work being done on “A New Sense of Leadership” by a group as followup to the last ICAI conference in Nepal. She has also offered to share from her work with Social Artistry.
Ellen Howie has suggested some selected readings for over meals or quiet time and also a simple daily reflective journal
Mary D’Souza suggested we consider involving someone with a long spirit discipline to share their experience, like Karen Snyder or Larry Ward. Also suggested we work on transposing sections of the Koran or the Bhagavad Gita (Jack Gilles has sent a chart of the Bhagavad Gita which was done by Dharmalingham)
