Poverty Inc.:  Youtube Trailer

Directed by:  Michael Matheson Miller
Produced James F. Fitzgerald Jr., Michael Matheson Miller, Kris Mauren, Anielka Münkel,
Mark Weber
Screenplay by:  Michael Matheson Miller, Simon Scionka, Jonathan Witt
Running time:  94 minutes
Genre:  Documentary

We were introduced to the idea that our good intentions don't always have the intended effect by When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert.  My eyes were further opened as Poverty, Inc. showed just how harmful those effects have been in perpetuating poverty rather than alleviating it.  Poverty, Inc. doesn't stop there, it gets to the root of our disappointing efforts which is the mental framework upon which the current aide industry is built.  It was humbling to see that the subconscious attitude of superiority that many of us have has translated into a system of aide that assumes the same. The system ends up sustaining poverty by undermining the efforts of the poor rather than supporting them in their own endeavors. There is no single solution to poverty, but the lack of large scale progress from favoring the current aide system should cause us to step back and reevaluate. Poverty, Inc. is the primer to start that evaluation.

....Hope  to see you there.

   Raja Yoga 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, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

at the Indian Cultural Center (ICC) building
