In this issue, I bring out the hidden message
in the popular movie "I Heart Huckabees" and its
potential impact on our society. You don't need
to see the movie to benefit from the article.
Also:
Principles presented in The Golden Frog
are taught in the Surya Program. Please check
it out to see if you'd like to attend one of
the upcoming classes.
Surya Meditation is taught in the Surya Program
and at meditation retreats. Information about
the upcoming summer and winter retreats is available.
The 2005 Golden Frog National Tour is underway!
We'd love to see you at one of the events.

"I Heart Huckabees"
- The Hidden Message
My grandmother
used to point out, "You can get away with
saying almost anything if you do it with
a warmhearted smile." I Heart Huckabees
embraces that lesson. The point of the
movie: Popular approaches to spirituality
and personal development are ludicrous.
Though the point is negative, cloaked
in humor, the movie accomplishes its mission.
Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman comically
demonstrate the vast difference between,
on the one hand, knowing all about spirituality,
and on the other, actually being spiritual.
They playfully show how the true meaning
of spirituality is not accessed by a large
vocabulary of metaphysical clichés. The
cast of characters, made up of a galaxy
of imbeciles, abound with fashionable
buzzwords and distorted concepts. They've
read volumes of books and memorized the
buzzwords, but they're all outrageously
confused.

Each of us has the ability to rest into our
true nature and function from wisdom dwelling
deep inside. The personal and real-world journey
of this transformative path is described in
The Golden Frog. As we look beyond what
we have been conditioned to think and feel,
we have the opportunity for true self-expression,
happiness and fulfillment. Our spirituality
or religion can be understood from a deeper
level. Insights can be gained in all fields
of study. All the different puzzle pieces of
life come together as everything starts to make
sense.
Sincerely,
Michael Mamas
