I LOVE the movies. But I am no critic. In my view it is the best value for money spent barr~none. I look at my $12 as a ticket to ride on a time machine, transporting me back into history, a day in the life of another, or finding myself as a fly on the wall deep in the slum alleys of India. Cimena is truly a powerful transformational tool if used right.

 

Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler, The Reader, Harvey Milk, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button...all nominated for best picture. Why? Because they each successfully move and impact us on mass in ways that produce deep reflection of our inner most self, our mortality, our perception of life, our judgements vs our acceptance. And no matter how difficult the journey is, we can appreciate it.

Actors, directors, cinematographers, they have a unique job; to tell a story that allows us to assimilate each others plight so we may understand we are not so different. It is always the same story; we emerge in life whole, greeting life with an innate urge to love and be loved. To our surprise and sometimes shock we meet with opposition. In defense we are battered and bruised in this battle called life and in turn we eventually become the offender. Luckily, at some point along our path, we've had enough, we wake up, turn around and begin to try to fix all that we have broken. We search for redemption, acceptance, forgiveness...and to our surprise again, we become restored.

 

This is the story of the quest for the holy grail. The holy grail being that which you seek which will deliver you whole once again. It is the very reason why Grail Springs exists today. We hope you visit us for one of our soul inspiring retreats which our visitors tell us time and time again "best investment I ever made in my Self". You can also join us tomorrow night for a live conference call, describing our new 12~week tele-course on the Science of the Soul...dedicated to your quest for your own holy grail.

 

George Burns was quoted last night at the Oscars and I believe he got it right..."We all grow old to become new again."
