Painting the Stars: Mysticism

This Sunday, November 17th we will view and discuss the section of "Painting the Stars" titled "and Evolving Spirituality: Mysticism." The promotional material says:
"The essential spiritual practice of evolutionary spirituality is to be able to tell the story of the universe as one’s own story: a primordial explosion of light and radiation; the emergence of time and space; galaxies form and supernova explosions in which all the heavy elements necessary for life on Earth are
forged; our solar system; from matter life emerges on a tiny, blue planet, and evolves in staggering diversity and increasingly complexity; out of life conscious self-awareness arises in the human ones; existence is transformed into experience, as these upright creatures ponder beauty, death, meaning and
purpose, possibility, and the mystery of life itself; worldviews complexify in an attempt to solve problems and in the process create new ones to solve; we begin to ask ourselves what is this Life that is living us, this yearning for transcendence seeking deeper, more beautiful and more elegant expressions of itself?"
Please join us as we boldly go into the stars, and into our hearts.
