The film “Awakening” now has more than 1/4 million views on Youtube. It has been featured on countless sites dedicated to sharing truth and creating new possibilities in the world. I’ve been priveledged to recieve so much feedback from people who have gone through similar things – or people who share a sense of a greater shift occurring at this time.

Despite a greater current happening in the world, each of us is the catalyst for freedom in our own lives. The busy-ness and challenges of the world can sometimes obscure our happiness and freedom, and occupy us in seemingly endless conflicts or habits of separation. Films like these are here to remind us of our deeper priorities, and offer the overwhelming evidence that not everything is what it seems – that whatever our circumstances, there is something beyond – hints of a greater Self.

I look forward to continuing to befriend people on facebook.

After the screening, I posted on my facebook “Returned from the “Live Beyond the Edge” screening, filled with a love in my heart – thank you to everyone who attended, physically and in spirit.”

Everyone watching, seated in the gallery and main room of Clearpoint center. In the foreground on the right is Roger C. Ingraham (my father).

I am rewarded in the process of watching the films with others. The guided meditation film worked very well in a group screening experience. If people are open, the depth of the meditation can be intensified with a group. Many people commented on their feelings of peace and inspiration in the discussion afterwards.

In a circle, discussing the experience of the film and beginning to connect beyond the film medium. From left to right, Roger C. Ingraham (my father), Artist Angelina Hart, Founder of Clearpoint and fellow producer of Edition 1 of LBTE Steve Munn, Filmmaker Roger Ingraham, Jennifer Eazarsky, Devin Recchio, and Leo Rochetti.

In the circle discussion, people shared openly about themselves and, I felt that for many, as well as myself, this was a bright opportunity to affirm what we’ve already felt inside. The world is changing – we’re facing many challenges as individuals and collectively – and the deep urge to reach out and at the same time dive within, is something that needs affirmation.

There are many things I could point out about the screening – but I was most touched by the vibrant sensitivity that settled into the room after watching. There was a genuine listening and sharing happening. My heart felt open. The sense that a new opportunity is arising for all of us is something that could be felt in the room. And the films help to show us something that is often clouded by answers and words: that the only real way to harmonious community and a better world is through an immediate opportunity – of love and insight – starting with onesself.
