Merchants of Doubt Youtube Trailer

Directed by:  Robert Kenner
Based on the book:  Merchants of Doubt, by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway
Genres:    Documentary
Running Time:  96 min

Merchants of Doubt takes audiences on a satirically comedic, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin.  Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities - yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.
:) happy....Hope  to see you there.

"The Secret of Spiritual Success" by

Matt Kahn
Matt Kahn is a spiritual teacher and highly-attuned empathic healer.  His spontaneous awakening arose out of an out-of-body experience at the age of 8, and his direct experiences with ascended masters and archangels throughout his life.  He is a bridge between the mystical realms and the path of awakening who inspires profound spiritual growth and life-changing energetic expansion to audiences worldwide through a spoken transmission of presence.  For more information, visit Matt at:  http://truedivinenature.com/about.htm







-----------Other Local Events---------




Raja Yoga Class and Satsang
Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through: 
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

The Binghamton Buddhist Meditation Group presents:
Lovingkindness and Joy
A Silent Meditation Retreat
Friday, July 24 (6 p.m.) – Tuesday, July 28 (2 p.m.)
at
Light on the Hill Retreat Center, Van Etten, New York
Lead by:  Dr. Charles Goodman

This residential, silent meditation retreat will focus on the immeasurable emotions of lovingkindness and joy.  These profound and beautiful states can deeply enrich our practice and our life, even as they strengthen our commitment to work for the benefit of others.
We will learn several practical, effective techniques for connecting with the actual experience of lovingkindness and joy. We will also explore the nature of these emotions and their role in Buddhist practice through the teachings of Shantideva and other spiritual masters.
      
Cost:  $400, or $250 for the weekend only. 
Lodging at Light on the Hill and all meals are included. 
    
    Dr. Charles Goodman studied Korean Zen and Tibetan Buddhism in the United States and India.  He is an Associate Professor at Binghamton University and author of Consequences of Compassion:  An Interpretation and Defense of Buddhist Ethics.  In 2003, he helped found the Binghamton Buddhist Meditation Group.
