Should Humans Endure Extreme Pain for the Pursuit of Transcendental Experiences?
Details
November's will be conducted by Bro. Anthony Sokol as he asks the question, "Should humans endure extreme pain for the pursuit of transcendental experiences?"
Synopsis:
The French film, Martyrs (2008), directed by Pascal Laugier, explicitly centered on extreme suffering and its effect on the human spirit, particularly the question of whether it can be broken, or, conversely, transcended to achieve a form of “martyrdom” or spiritual insight. We will explore the limits of human experience, the pursuit of the afterlife, the line between victim and martyr, trauma, retribution, and the protagonist’s final journey and the whispered revelation. Please join us this November for the MPS discussion.
