The renowned Zen Buddhist Monk, Thich Nhat Hanh at the "Colors of Compassion Retreat – Healing Our Families, Building True Communities" Deer Park Monastery, Escondido, California.

In this first talk of a week-long mindfulness retreat for people of color, Zen Master the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh – whom Martin Luther King, Jr. nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – gives instruction in the basic mindfulness practices of sitting meditation, walking meditation, and awareness of the present moment.


Buddhist mindfulness techniques can help to bring the mind back to the body so that you are fully present here and now. For sitting meditation, Thich Nhat Hanh describes simple practices of awareness that increase a sense of well being and release tension in the body.

He offers walking meditation as a practice that can help you to live deeply every moment of your life, free from the prison of the past and of the future. He gives instruction, too, in addressing pain and anger in your heart and developing a deeper awareness of and appreciation for everyday moments of life: cooking, cleaning, driving, and working in such a way that you feel peaceful, mindful,and happy.

Pink Floyd : The Making of the Dark Side of the Moon is a documentary about the making of the classic album, "Dark Side of the Moon" which also happens to be one of the largest selling albums of all time ...

This documentary is part of the Classic Albums series, released by Isis Productions/Eagle Rock Entertainment. This one does manage to unite the band under one single film, albeit only via separate interviews at various different locations. It also features interviews with the album's engineer Alan Parsons, two music journalists, the former chairman of their record label and Storm Thorgerson.

Produced for the Classic Albums series that originally aired on VH-1, this thorough and thought-provoking study highlights a track-by-track dissection of the LP's master tapes (including the spoken-word passages that bookend the album), superbly interlaced with archival footage, early demo tapes, concert animations, and latter-day acoustic performances by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright to demonstrate each track's contribution to the final mix--a sonic exploration that extends to the illuminating bonus features. Informative interviews abound (including Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke), and much-deserved credit is given to saxophonist Dick Parry, solo vocalist Clare Torry, and former Capitol Records chairman Bhaskar Menon, who fostered the album's U.S. commercial success.


Dark Side of the Moon released in March 1973, remained on the charts for nearly 14 years ...


" Dark Side of the Moon was an expression of political, philosophical, humanitarian empathy that was desperate to get out ... "

Discovery of the true nature of self as pure consciousness is what is a spiritual awakening, an awakening to one's divine nature ... the interconnectedness of all creation ... We are literally one with the Animals, the Trees, the Birds, the Bees, the Mountains and the Seas ... We are little big cells in a big living cell called Earth, Gaia, Terra, which is a part of a larger living being our Solar System which is one among billions of other Solar Systems in our Milky Way Galaxy which is one among billions of other Galaxies ... all spread out across the infinite expanses of space ... which may seem to be empty however is not so empty at all much like physical matter isn't all the solid anyway ... :) ... We are all living and evolving cells of the evolving universe ... and we grow and evolve with the universe ... as we are that !



The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it But the way those atoms are put together The cosmos is also within us We're made of star stuff We are a way for the cosmos to know itself ~ Carl Sagan

A Course in Miracles is a fascinating book which brings to the world a unique, universal, self-study spiritual thought system that teaches that the way to Love and Inner Peace is through Forgiveness.

Here is the introduction to the book ...

This is 'A Course In Miracles'. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.

The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:


Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.


This documentary "A Course in Miracles" features interviews with Marianne Williamson, Gerald Jampolsky, M.D., and Kenneth Wapnik, Ph.D.
