The Peaceful Warrior Movie

The Peaceful Warrior DVD is based on Dan Millman's best-selling autobiographical book, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and is a moving story about the power of the human spirit.

In the Peaceful Warrior DVD, Dan Millman (Scott Melchowiz) is a talented, yet arrogant college gymnast who seems to have it all. He gets good grades, has disposable relationships and is trying out for the Olympics. But he still wakes up in cold sweats at night. His (Scott Melchowiz) world is turned upside down after he meets a mysterious stranger he refers to as Socrates (Nick Nolte). Socrates (Nick Nolte) seems to hold the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding and becomes Dan's (Scott Melchowiz) mentor who guides him through various avenues of his life.

Dan (Scott Melchowiz) suffers from a serious injury, and with the help of Socrates (Nick Nolte) and a mysterious young woman (Amy Smart), he grows to realize that strength of spirit is what leads a man to his true greatness. He (Scott Melchowiz) learns that he has to let go of the person he thought he was and start living in the moment by appreciating the journey and accepting his lack of control over the future.

Be sure to catch The Peaceful Warrior at 7:00pm in our home on Wednesday, May 27.

Wed., May 13, Science of Mind Magazine Conversation is on “Solitude”

May’s theme for the SOM Magazine is “Solitude.” This coming Wednesday, May 13, at our classroom (Karen Taul’s Artistic Expressions Studio), we are going to read excerpts in May’s SOM Magazine and have everyone share how solitude works for us. For example on page 112 in May’s SOM Magazine, Ralph Waldo Emerson says: “It is easy in the word to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great person is one who in the midst of the crowd keeps with the perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” For me, one reason I go into solitude is to explore the unity that lies beneath our apparent loneliness. Come at 6:00pm for meditation/visioning and at 7:00pm we begin sharing how solitude works for us. If you need directions or more information, please go to our weblog site Spiritual Living Pensacola or call Carolyn Vary at 850-637-4488. See you Wednesday evening.

May these daily affirmations serve you as gentle promptings of the Power and Presence within and all around, awaiting recognition and conscious use.
