Feel free to come and share your own personal insights sometime; the Saturday Night Video and Discussions here in Austin, Texas are a lot of fun and fascinating. (They're free, too.) Here are the questions the group came up with, based on the personal growth themes in the movie:

AWAKENINGS

  1. How do I reach out and understand quirky individuals and come to terms with where they are and be at peace with it instead of having expectations that will never be fulfilled?
  2. How "mainstream" do I want to be?
  3. How do I get the attention of those who are "supposed to know," and if not, how do I deal with "those who know" making decisions about my life that adversely affect me, when I have experience and have the answers and they don't.
  4. How do I handle situations that are rigid and rule-based?
  5. What external things do I use to define myself?
  6. How have my compassionate actions helped others through difficult time? When have I witnessed compassion doing more than "the right thing" did?
  7. How do I develop unconditional love?
