Movie Watching through the Lens of A Course in Miracles - Movie: Dying to Know
Details
✨Greetings Bright and Mighty Companions✨
Let’s transition from Summer into Fall with a fascinating and inspired documentary on the topic of holy relationship and conscious dying. Our movie for September is called: Dying To Know ✨🎥✨. We’ll watch via zoom followed by a lively discussion.
This movie is about the collaboration and growth of two mighty companions: Ram Dass and Timothy Leary. And we’ll witness the course of their lives until Leary’s passing. These two traveled through inner space together with their pioneering psychedelic research at Harvard. And each uniquely blazed a trail for many truth seekers around the world during the 1960’s and to this very day. We can learn a lot about dying from the mystic, Ram Dass and visionary, Tim Leary. They stepped outside the box.
Format (in Pacific time):
4:30-4:35: Logistical announcements,
4:35-7:25: Keynote setup, featured movie with ACIM commentary and teachings.
7:25- 8pm: Group discussion, official end of gathering.
Optional: Stay online for deeper discussion and further sharing.
Over the course of a lifetime, we are blessed to meet significant, and often familiar from the start, characters who bring us the assignment to grow, deepen and collaborate, sometimes all the way to the last breath. These relationships usually begin with unconscious elements of special relationship, which require forgiveness. But they are transformed in their purpose, to serve a timeless holy truth. One example of such a precious collaboration was between Richard Alpert, aka Ram Dass and Timothy Leary. They each seemed to play the role of inspiring many people to go beyond the barriers and conventions of conditioned thinking.
The take away for our class will be:
1. To soften and lighten our hearts around the taboo topic of dying.
2. To appreciate the value of mind training in our lives, as preparation for laying the body aside in gentleness and peace… To let go and forgive in many situations and circumstances brings happiness. In the face of everything falling apart in form, our spiritual purpose becomes singular in mind, and our minds turn towards God over and over.
3. To inspire gratitude for our mighty companions who take the journey with us and share a common purpose.
Long before we finally lay the body aside, we can forgive the false body identity and come to peace. In the world’s eyes, death is the moment when we breathe our last breath. Yet in the Course, death is a thought system based on a lie. This ego-lie seeks to validate itself through the five senses. But what if we were to let everything in the world remind us, instead of distract us from our ultimate purpose to remember God?
May everything point us back to God and Self recognition✨

Please note:
• RSVPs on meetup don't reflect actual event attendance - expect at least 10-15 participants at each movie event. The majority of attendance comes from our email list. We love to have newcomers from meetup join!
• Conscious movie watching is not primarily about entertainment.
And it has nothing to do with movie critique. It’s about becoming
proficient in mind watching and honest feeling. Expect ample time
devoted to the teachings of ACIM in conjunction with the movie.
We will pause the movie at some points to share ideas and bring light
to the topics at hand. Please settle in before hand with minimal distractions.
• We accept and appreciate donations if you feel inspired.
This is a free gathering.
We use all donations toward our mission of bringing peace.
