This Meetup Group has "Evolved" from discussion of one specific subject to the much broader, more inclusive subject of Conscious Evolution. The current Worldwide Paradigm of separation and competition is slowly changing to one of cooperation, self organization, and interconnectedness as is evident with the formation of so many new local, national and worldwide organizations to help humanity. If you answer yes to some or all of these questions, this is what this Meetup Group is all about and ap …

Hello, this group is all about going to the movies, well that and the occasional play. Much of what we will see will be local to Stamford, but there will be out of town events as opportunities arise. In keeping with our origins as a group dedicated to "art films" there will be allot of independent and less main stream choices. There will also be the chance to get together for new blockbusters, for drama, action, comedy and science fiction. Just about anything goes.

The purpose of this discussion group is not to instruct, or lecture, or inform. It isn't a class where you simply come to learn. This is a mutual journey of exploration. We will tread the narrow path between science and mysticism, between reality and possibility. Each of us will be students, and each of us will be teachers. Since we can safely say that none here knows everything, we can agree that most of us will be wrong about most things, but perhaps we can stumble upon some truth along the wa …

Dear God, Universe, Spirit, Can I call you GUS for short? I don't know what to call you, and I don't know where to find you. I've tried meditation, but I get distracted by shiny objects. I've tried vegetarianism, but get distracted by pulled pork sliders. I've tried chastity, but I think we all know how well that turned out. Of course, none of this is news to You, You being omniscient and all. So where do I go to connect with like-minded people? Where do I go to understand my connection with You …
