Having trouble viewing this email? Click here Hello, For Sounds True, I'm hosting a free 7-part video series with extraordinary guests - The Compassionate Brain - that will give you effective ways to change your brain and heart and life. Beginning October 8, 2012, on seven Monday nights, 8-9 pm Eastern time (GMT -4), I'll interview a world-class scholar/teacher (in order): Richie Davidson, Dan Siegel, Tara Brach, Dachar Keltner, Kelly McGonigal, Kristin Neff, and Jean Houston. Each week, they'll discuss different ways to use the power of neuroplasticity - how the mind can change the brain to transform the mind - to open the heart, build courage, find compassion, forgive oneself and others, speak and act from both kindness and strength, and heal the world. You can watch live or see the archived videos if you miss a session. These unique conversations with first-rate experts are freely offered - along with their practical tools for cooperation, empathy, and kindness. (The series is particularly timely in light of a U.S. Presidential election occurring right in the middle of it.) Our world has needs at different levels (economic, environmental, cultural, etc.) but the common factor in all of these is the human brain, whose ancient fight-or-flight circuits are dragging humanity toward if not over the brink. If more people and more brains - and thus more hearts and hands - turned toward compassion, that could make a real difference. So I would really appreciate your support for this series. You could sign up for it yourself and - please - forward this email to tell others about it. It's interesting, solid, practical, convenient, and free. And, one brain at a time, it might help nudge things in a better direction. Wishing you the best, Rick P. S. Here is a brief video of me talking about the series.

Used to be we got two movies, a serial, news, and a cartoon - that's the late 1940s and the 1950s for me. Does that leave Ottumwa, Iowa City, and Cedar Rapids? I never went to a movie in Ottumwa.

A pity indeed. I feel for you, and for Fairfield. I was still living in L.A. when its group of wonderful revival theaters began to fail, victims of video stores. They used to be such a *resource* for us film freaks, a place where you could see a great double bill of classic or even fairly recent films every night. I hope that, as you suggest, some people get it together to offer alternatives in the Sondheim or other venues. I know it's cold there, and the thing I'm about to suggest won't be able to be done for much longer this year, but just FYI another alter- native is guerilla theater. I used to participate in staging these movie-ins while in France. Modern projectors, made to be plugged in to computers, are fairly cheap these days, and many of them are bright enough to project a movie up onto the white wall of a building well enough so that people can see it. Portable sound systems to hook up to the same computer and provide audio are also fairly cheap, rentable, or borrowable from a local band. We used to find a suitable building with an empty lot beside it, ask the owner's permission to stage a movie-in, and then advertise it in local villages via posters or fliers. People would then come, either in their cars or on foot, bearing picnic dinners and wine with them, and watch the movies. It was way fun. We even staged one out in the middle of a local place of power, backpacking in a portable generator to run the sound system and the computer/projector. A huge flat boulder provided the screen.

God, I love that place. They are fund raising right now to buy a new projector and to keep the place alive. We all have to nurture these little guys, they are so much on the human scale, no mega-plexes and big box abominations.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: free, The Compassionate Brain, to Ann for those interested in neuroplasticity
Well I'm sure there are many leaders on campus who consider me a revolutionary so not a stretch to be seen with a former one! No badge needed to get on campus. Just into the Dome. As for me being perfect hostess, I'm too much of an introvert for that. Tell you what. I was just writing at Bonnie's 2nd Street Cafe. Remember Doug and Bonnie White? He was a Lit professor. They're grandparents now but no longer married. Bonnie has run the cafe for many years. Wonderful spring rolls in the daily buffet which includes fish and lasagna and veggies and sweet potato patties. Cup cakes! Her son's paintings on the walls. Cozy and creative vibe. 2 blocks from where I live. And Bonnie can give you a receipt if you need one.

I think you are a latent event planner perhaps. Introvert? Doesn't sound like that at all. I mean, how many other introverts put themselves out into the hands of Light Weavers, Sedona Method practitioners and Jyotish charters(?) like you do? You have to be pretty brave and out there to do THAT.

God, somebody fill me in before I do something fatal like enter a building through a south entrance.

Why did I agree to do it? Alas, I was in love with her. Ah, love, that compromise between losing oneself in a universal feeling and still desiring something on that individual level. Learning to ride that compromise is one of the greatest of all journeys. I do not think I ever thought about the south entrance of the Co-Ed theatre. I remember I was once on the MIU campus, in one of the buildings that faced south. They had not chained off the doors yet, but I recall having to go in a back basement entrance and crawl up stairs amid junk stored there. On exiting I forgot I 'was not supposed to use a south entrance'. I went out the south entrance through opening both the sides of the double door. It was a beautiful crisp Autumn day, it was blindingly beautiful, and one of the best experiences I ever had on that campus. South entrance is a flat Earth mentality. If you are in the northern hemisphere, and exit an east entrance, and walk in the most economical straight line (great circle route on a sphere, the way aeroplanes fly long distances), and keep walking (or swimming as the case may be), you will end up in the southern hemisphere. Such is the nature of any east direction in the northern hemisphere except dead on the Equator. At the North Pole, the only direction is south. So, unless you are on the Equator, or in the Southern Hemisphere, when you face east, you are always partially facing south, and the southern component increases as your latitude is further north.
