Film Description:
The Elegant Universe
One of the most ambitious and exciting scientific theories ever posed—one that may be the long-sought "Theory of Everything"—gets a masterful and lavishly animated explanation that will excite scientists and non-scientists alike. Beginning with simple and clear explanations of major concepts of physics, including gravity, electromagnetism, and relativity, The Elegant Universe illuminates one of the most revolutionary theories in physics today.

Known as string theory or superstring theory, this startling idea proposes that the fundamental ingredients of nature are inconceivably tiny strands of energy, whose different modes of vibration underlie everything that happens in the universe. The theory attempts to unite the laws of the large—general relativity—and the laws of the small—quantum mechanics—breaking a conceptual logjam that has frustrated scientists for nearly a century.

If string theory proves correct, the universe we see obscures a reality that is far richer and more complex than anyone ever imagined—a universe with numerous hidden dimensions, a universe in which the fabric of space can rip and tear, a universe that may be but one of many parallel universes.

Join host Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and the best-selling author of The Elegant Universe, for this exciting and in-depth exploration of this groundbreaking new theory.

Hello Soul City,

Quite simply a brilliant film presentation by Peter Russell on the fascinating subject of Consciousness. Some of you came out about 6 weeks ago to see a short film on him, this is the full length presentation and definitely a great one too see.

Please plan to stick around for the group discussion as well.

(More details of film and speaker below.)

Sincerely,

Steve
(Organizer)

PETER RUSSELL (The Primacy of Consciousness)
"How is it that something as unconscious as the matter of the brain ever gives rise to something as immaterial as an experience?" muses Peter Russell in The Primacy of Consciousness, a stimulating program exploring science, spirit, and the mystery of consciousness.

Russell, a prominent thinker in the fields of consciousness and science, asserts that science cannot explain the fact that humans are conscious. This capacity for inner experience he calls "the great mystery." According to Russell, who studied mathematics and theoretical physics before he delved into experimental psychology, science is locked into the view that consciousness itself is somehow created by the human brain. He believes that we need to question this basic assumption and consider instead that awareness is present to some degree in all living things.

The difference with humans is that we are aware that we aware. But what is it that is aware? In bustling downtown Los Angeles, Peter explores the perennial question of "Who am I?" He looks at how we seek fame and fashion, power and position, in our search for inner fulfillment. But in the final analysis, peace of mind is to be found within our selves rather than in what we have or do.

In the closing, he observes that Western science has proved very successful in explaining the world and advancing technology, but has not provided us with meaning or values. He calls for integration of scientific understanding with the wisdom of spiritual traditions. "The next great frontier is not outer space," Russell concludes, "it’s inner space."


About Peter Russell
Peter Russell earned degrees in theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science at the University of Cambridge, England, later turning to psychology as he became fascinated by the subject of consciousness and the untapped potential of the human brain. He was one of the first people to introduce self-development seminars to business, and for twenty years consulted to major corporations on creativity, learning methods, stress management and sustainability. He now lectures around the world on consciousness and the future evolution of humanity. His other books include "The Brain Book", "The Awakening Earth", "The Creative Manager", "The Global Brain Awakens", "Waking Up In Time", "The Consciousness Revolution", and most recently "From Science to God".

Good day Soul City,

One of the most important documentaries I'll be showing this year. A must see for both men and women. History is not only fascinating but it gives us real context for how we live our lives today. I'll be showing part 1 and part 2 the same night. Each one is approximately 55 minutes in length.

Women and Spirituality

Goddess Remembered
Part 1 of this stunning and poetic documentary examines pre-Christian, goddess-worshipping religions. Incorporating the work of archaeologist Marija Gombutas, art historian Merlin Stone, and scholars Jean Bolen, Charlene Spretnak and Starhawk - who link the loss of goddess-centered societies with today's environmental crisis - Goddess Remembered offers insights into these ancient cultures and explores the contemporary women's spirituality movement inspired by them.

The Burning Times
Part 2 explores Europe from the 15th through the 17th centuries, a time when the church and state cooperated in the torture and execution of thousands of women accused of being witches. In an attempt to eradicate the woman-based power of midwives, wise old crones and healers, the Christian church along with local governments instigated a reign of terror.

Good day Soul City,

Be sure to join us for this powerful, information filled and leading edge film on Consciousness called The Voice, directed by David Sereda.

*Also plan to stick around for our interactive group discussion immediately following the film.

(Details of film below)


Sincerely,


Steve
(Organizer)


"Researcher, mystic, scientist, and filmmaker, David Sereda takes you on a journey of exploration in human consciousness. During the film he shares with you his own fascinating and compelling mystical experiences and compares and contrasts these with others, from all walks of life - scientists, mystics, and artists; as well as ordinary individuals who have touched the Divine. David will guide you on a thought-provoking journey that will help you clarify your own path."


Film Description: THE VOICE

THE VOICE is a compilation of interviews with experts in their respective fields of science, mysticism, and art. It presents a diversity of viewpoints on spirituality and various aspects of human consciousness.
While we originally intended that this movie ANSWER many of the questions about human consciousness, we have instead been guided to create a controversial film which will stir discussion, help the spiritual seeker understand various facets inherent in the spiritual path as experienced by individuals from many walks of life, and help each viewer find THE VOICE of consciousness within themselves.

The expert opinions provided are meant to assist you in finding the truth within you. Only in seeking this unity in the diversity of opinion, fact, research, and expression will humanity ever evolve beyond war, manipulation, control, and domination. We hope this film inspires discussion, debate, and eventually recognition of our common ground.

The film helps us answer questions that human beings face: What is consciousness? How does consciousness affect our reality and how do our thoughts become things? What is mind over matter and how does this occur?

The science of consciousness provides us with tangible methodology of how to reach enlightenment!

A Call to Awakening (Connecting to your Higher Self)

During a time when we as a species are being challenged like never before, it seems more and more people are starting to question the nature of this reality and the role we are playing in its future. As our awareness continues to expand, so to does our desire to understand the purpose of this journey we are all on together as we develop a deeper sensitivity towards each other and the well-being of our beloved planet Earth.

Many people’s lives are being shaken to the core and society as we know it is under going a radical transformation. Through these experiences we quite naturally want to seek out more harmonious ways to unite as one people and transcend the divisions that have created the struggles and conflicts we are witnessing today. This is our call to awakening to who we really are and why we are here.

Is there more to our reality than meets the eye? Are we as human beings awakening from a dream and connecting to a deeper part of ourselves that we have been neglecting? Is there a purpose to the challenges we are faced with both personally and globally?

This enlightening presentation will offer you some insights and concepts to help you make sense of what is happening in our world and how you can live a more balanced and harmonious life through being in touch with your Higher Self.


Brief bio: Dean Noblett

Hello Soul City,

This film by Spiritual and Scientific best selling author, Greg Braden, captures the very essence of the paradigm shift so many of us talk about. Offering scientific evidence of the power of love, forgiveness, compassion, prayer, and ultimately the miracle that resides in all of us. Packed with amazing information and scientific findings that will enlighten you towards who we really are and what we are all capable of.

I highly recommend this one, and hope you can join us for the interactive group discussion following the film as well.

*Details of film below.


Cheers!


Steve
(Organizer)

Film Description
In The Science of Miracles, you will discover paradigm-shattering revelations that demonstrate why we are not limited by the Laws of physics and biology as we know them today, and why our DNA is a code that we can change and upgrade by choice! The implications of these discoveries are vast, powerful, and for some, challenging. They show us, beyond a reasonable doubt, that we can reverse disease, redefine aging, create peace between nations, and even change reality itself through the focused power of belief and heart-based emotion. It is these seemingly miraculous abilities that create the life-affirming joys in our lives that become the reality of our world. They are all based on the same principle!


About the Actor
New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. For more than 20 years, he has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer, and The Divine Matrix. His work is now published in 15 languages and 23 countries.
