Session 3 - "Awakening Across Generations: The Spiritual Movement of the 1970s" - Movie Night with David Hoffmeister

The movie tells the story of a counterculture movement in the 1970s that became American history's most significant spiritual awakening. The movement was driven by disillusionment with the Vietnam War and the rise of hippies and drug users seeking meaning in life. Singers like Janis Joplin and The Grateful Dead also emerged as part of this movement.

The movie follows a young preacher who meets a traditional pastor. This meeting is orchestrated to expand consciousness and let go of the past. The traditional generation meets the new generation, but Jesus is behind the meeting.

The movie explores the spiritual journey of a young man from the Midwest who moves west after leaving his father behind. He searches for meaning and finds solace in his story. The movie highlights the difficulty people face in spiritual awakening due to their upbringing and the Christian language.

People have faced resistance to A Course in Miracles, particularly those raised with a Christianity based on sin, penance, and sacrifice. Many people have turned off Jesus for fear of him, but the movie provides a chance to see the potential for spiritual awakening.
