“Love, goodness, and joy are intrinsically in the core of each one of us, regardless of how rich or poor. Our differences are very superficial. If we peel away the layers of what is artificial and untrue in us and embrace self-responsibility in all aspects of our lives — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual — we will collectively create a kinder and more compassionate world.”

Jesus in India is an exciting film, sure to leave the audience wondering, and questioning their assumptions about the drama of Jesus’ life and death.

“The eighth house is the most misunderstood house in astrology and several individuals have contacted me about their fears of having planets placed in this house at birth… The Eighth house is ruled by the sign Scorpio. All issues such as death, sexuality, secrets, other people’s resources, sacrifice and the unseen world of spirits, astral entities, ghosts or our direct experience with such things govern this house. Anything that is taboo, intense, uncomfortable and deep lingers here.”

“Eat, Pray, Love lingers in the mind long after you’ve finished the last page. This remarkable saga of the author’s travels and awakening to love of self and love of the world is filled with humor, insight and wisdom. You cheer when she cheers, cry when she cries, and see the beauty of the world anew through her eyes… If you’ve ever experienced love, divorce, depression, or any version of “the dark night of the soul” you will recognize what Gilbert is feeling, and marvel at her ability to describe those moments, much less to find humor in them. Conversely, if you ever experienced love, spiritual connection or glimpses of enlightenment, you will recognize the truth of what she is recounting in the high points of her journey. “
