MATRIX
"Computer programmer Thomas A. Anderson leads a secret life as a hacker under the alias "Neo". He wishes to learn the answer to the question, "What is the Matrix?" Cryptic messages appearing on his computer monitor and an encounter with several sinister agents leads him to a group led by the mysterious Morpheus, a man who offers him the chance to learn the truth about the Matrix. Neo accepts by swallowing an offered red pill, and abruptly wakes up naked in a liquid-filled pod, his body connected by wires to a vast mechanical tower covered with identical pods...."
THE CORPORATION
"The film charts the development of the corporation as a legal entity from its origins as an institution chartered by governments to carry out specific public functions, to the rise of the vast modern institutions entitled to some of the legal rights of a person. One central theme of the documentary is an attempt to assess the "personality" of the corporate "person" by using diagnostic criteria from the DSM-IV. Robert Hare, a University of British Columbia Psychology Professor and FBI consultant, compares the profile of the modern, profit-driven corporation to that of a clinically-diagnosed psychopath. The film focuses mostly on corporations in North America, especially in the United States."
THX 1138
"THX 1138 is a 1971 science fiction film directed by George Lucas, from a screenplay by Lucas and Walter Murch. It depicts a dystopian future in which a high level of control is exerted upon the populace through ever-present faceless, android police officers and mandatory, regulated use of special drugs to suppress emotion..."
BARAKA
"The word Baraka means "blessing" in several languages; watching this film, the viewer is blessed with a dazzling barrage of images that transcend language. Filmed in 24 countries and set to an ever-changing global soundtrack, the movie draws some surprising connections between various peoples and the spaces they inhabit, whether that space is a lonely mountaintop or a crowded cigarette factory. Some of these attempts at connection are more successful than others: for instance, an early sequence segues between the daily devotions of Tibetan monks, Orthodox Jews, and whirling dervishes, finding more similarity among these rituals than one might expect."

Representa un no utopico futuro cuyo alto nivel de control es ejercido sobre la población atravez de los siempre presentes ‘sin rostro’, oficiales policías androides y mandadores, regulando con un uso especial de drogas, para suprimir las emociones…”
Baraka
“la palabra Baraka significa “bendición” en muchos idiomas, mirando el film, el espectador es bendecido con un deslumbrante bombardeo de imágenes que trascienden el idioma. Filmada en 24 paises y con una siempre cambiante banda sonora global, la película dibuja algunas sorprendentes conexiones entre varias personas y los espacios que ellos habitan, tanto el espacio es la cima de una montania vacia como una multitudinaria fabrica de cigarrillos. Algunos de estos intentos al conectarse son mas exitosos que otros, por instantes, una temprana secuencia sigue entre el diario devocional de monjes tibetanos, ortodoxos judíos, encontrando mas similitudes entre estos rituales de lo que uno podría imaginar”

What Dreams May Come
Neurologist Chris and artist Annie had the perfect life until they lost their children in an auto accident; they're just starting to recover when Chris meets an untimely death himself. He's met by a messenger named Albert (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and taken to his own personal afterlife--a freshly drawn world reminiscent of Annie's own artwork, still dripping and wet with paint.

The first vegetarian cooking course took place last Saturday, July 19th, and gave pleasure to the students and guests that came to visit our center. The course started with a philosophical introduction by our dear Giriraj Prabhu, who spoke about the laws of karma, the relation between the action of eating and the environment, how the type of food we eat directly relates to our states of consciousness, and finally etiquette in a conscious kitchen.
Then the chef took the stand and she spoke, not with words, but with pots, pans, and various vegetables, resulting in a sumptuous feast. The students learned how easy it could be to cook a more than satisfying full course vegetarian meal.
After the Lord had enjoyed all the finest preparations, everyone enjoyed these now spiritualized food stuffs called prasadam! The recipe used in this cooking class is available on this website, under the Mother Bhakti Recipes link.
Many thanks to all who participated! We hope you will join us next time in learning more from out expert chef!

El Cine Conciente es un taller donde todos pueden sumergirse profundamente en su interior, con la ayuda de proyecciones de video y debates de mensajes importantes como la ecología, el consumismo, la salud, el conocimiento del ser, etc, con el propósito de hacer un "viaje interior en la conciencia". Siguiente, el poster del próximo mes.
The themes of the first series of the Conscious Theatre will be “vegetarianism: a revolution of consciousness.” The first movie we will watch is “Animal Farm,” based on Orwell’s satirical novel about totalitarianism. Then we will watch “Meat is Weak,” a documentary that shows us the myths surrounding meat eating, and the reality that exists behind the walls of today’s slaughterhouses. The third film of this series will be “Chicken Run,” which details the adventures of a chicken in search of freedom. To close, we will watch “Earthlings,” a documentary that will capture our consciousness, point out the profound impact in our life caused by an attitude that, grossly or subtly, almost every human being is manifesting: speciesism.
The movies will be played in our center every Wednesday at 7:30PM. Hoping you will enjoy these movies, we invite you to come and participate in building a community based on the motto “simple living, high thinking.”
