From Howard Lazar: "Spending many days chatting with folks as I handed out postcards along the streets of the Hamptons with Jsu and Zoe -- and then seeing many of these folks at the screenings and hearing their feedback after seeing the Spiritual Warriors movie -- I was amazed at the transformation I saw in so many people -- and am grateful to have been part of two incredible events. It seemed to me that something really touched them -- and the way they responded to Jsu during the Q&A -- and the way they thanked me or others after the screening -- showed me there was great value for them in seeing this film. I also observed so many folks responding profoundly to the short film 'Who Are You?' (click here to view the short film Who Are You) that was screened before Spiritual Warriors -- it was amazing how it brought up many interesting questions in the Q&A -- and a few people commented to me about how that film had prompted them to really start taking a look at what's going on within themselves. Both Screenings (Friday July 24 at 2PM and Sunday July 26 at 2PM) were well received with powerful Q&As and long chats afterwards in the foyer. And in particular the second screening held on the Sunday -- with over 150 people -- almost entirely of 'new people' -- was particularly powerful. We also had a lot of young people attend both screenings at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, with a mixed crowd presenting diverse questions and points of views from the audience. It has been such a pleasure to host J-R, Jsu and the rest of the Spiritual Warriors crew in the Hamptons, and was wonderful to return to the Bay Street Theatre."
“Spiritual Warriors is a mini epic with a maximum message that there are no mistakes. If you don't work it out here you will get another chance until you do. The darkness does not come from out there even if it blares out there, and this journey is such a great adventure. It was a gift to see it twice.” From Hamptons Health & Mindfulness Expert, Lorie Miller: "I loved the subtleties of truth and the simplicity which Spiritual Warriors delivered. The most amazing visuals of the pyramids in Egypt and Finn climbing them -- made me envious I hadn’t done so on any of my initiation journeys. A must see to those enlightened and seeking continual awakening of the Soul on the earth plane." From Christine Lynch: "First of all the Hamptons is awesome. The Atlantic Ocean, the Townspeople, the Week-Enders, the Scene. The Theater - It was Packed. Some of "our" folks -- our East Coast MSIA folks -- were outside the theater when we arrived. And.. it was very tempting to hang out. But for some reason Jim and I wanted to see the last 2/3 of SW once again........ Let's face it, Jim and I are just SW Junkies. So here's the deal... The theater was packed. It was a packed house. The majority of people in attendance I had never seen before. (There were several of our folks. But they were definitely in the single digit percentages for what the house could hold.) Getting into the darkened theater, Jim and I realized the only way to find seats was to walk in from the front - in other words on either side of the projector screen. My concern was we would disturb people. And then we went "hey, it's just a movie." So we crawled over some folks and found our way into watching the last 2/3 of the film. So that was that part. The Q&A with Jsu and Rick was great. I could end it with that. But because I love to chat, I will go on...The Q&A was great because there were people (civilians, as Jim calls them, former navy man that he is...challenging premises for the film, gender casting choices, asking about the Teachings, questioning the J-R voice over, what did Jsu learn, etc. And...... there was "call and response" from the audience to each other's concerns. They were answering each other's questions. And...... it was oh.... so..... beautiful. Jsu was so loving with all of the folks who asked questions. He was very supportive and allowing. He totally respected their questions, appreciations and concerns. He supported them in being fine with whatever they were feeling contentious about -- or appreciative of. He let them know he invited their comments. In other words, he totally loved the audience in attendance. Jsu shared from that place of Integrity -- sharing from his heart with the truth as he knows it with care and consideration for others. (I think, awhile back., J-R said something like that once as a definition of "integrity.") So now... we go Home. From what I could/can see, even those who were initially challenged and, perhaps, argumentative, left the movie happy and free. I know Jim and I did. Light for the Highest Good. So let's send the Light to all of those who attended the Hamptons screenings. God bless them. Let's send the Light to all of those who have come in contact with Spiritual Warriors - the film - at any time -- and to all of those who are looking to be touched by the Traveler." From Deborah Kovitz: “There definitely is a change in the attitude and awareness of the people in the Hamptons. It was inspiring to see how in one year's time the attendance for the Spiritual Warriors movie not only grew, but included people of many different spiritual paths, backgrounds and ages. It was beautiful to experience the shift in consciousness to one of turning within to the abundance.”
“This past Sunday in the Hamptons I was privileged to be part of a packed house screening of Spiritual Warriors and the short film "Who Are You" (click here to view the short film Who Are You). Spiritual Warriors always has been special for me, each time I seem to experience a new awareness and understanding. But what comes forward for me even more so, was how moved I was by Jsu's new short "Who Are You" (click here to view the short film Who Are You). This little film is profound and thought provoking. Absolutely fantastic! My congratulations go to both Jsu and Rick for producing this little masterpiece. It's perfect, just the way it is. Of course, the "creme de la creme" of the weekend for me, was being with J-R and in the Traveler's energy, not much can better that! With my Love and Light." From Ezra Mack: The East Coast summer tour of Spiritual Warriors came to a wonderful crescendo with two showings at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, Friday and Sunday afternoons, July 24 and 26. Thanks to the generous support of Heidi Banks and Howard Lazar, the theater was made available to the public free of charge, making the events inviting and available to a much larger pool of local residents and out of town guests. The Friday showing was very intimate, with our beloved John-Roger in attendance, numerous family members and friends, and some local artists, writers, and film enthusiasts. There was a brief Q & A and then a lovely opportunity for drinks and conversation afterwards, followed by a yummy dinner.
On a personal note, it continues to be a great honor, joy, and privilege to support Spiritual Warriors and participate so closely with its creators. Read more articles from the Spiritual Warriors Northeast Tour, 2009 |
