I watched this movie many times when I was a kid. Now that I'm 40, I'm wondering why it was even in my house to begin with. My mom was a rigid Christian. I'm convinced it was there for me. Pay attention to what you enjoyed as a child because there are clues in all your favorite childhood movies, music and books, etc. I've always been interested in existential subjects and I'm learning that my soul is very old. No wonder I loved thus movie at 10 years old!!
"Pay attention to what you enjoyed as a child because there are clues in all your favorite childhood movies, music and books," Exactly. You are so right.
I also saw this movie when I was very young I possibly was 14 and it resonated with me now I understand I get it especially the part when she looks into his eyes for the first time I feel like they were also twin flames or either soulmates it's such a great movie
I remember watching it in 1986, my mom recorded it for me, both parts 1 & 2. My mom just passed. I watch this every 10 year's or so. God bless you Shirley McLaine. Great book & movie.
I was only 14 when this came out on TV. I was compelled to record it at the time. And i watched the movie over and over again for about a year as it had such rich meaning to it and i always learned something every time i watched it! At 14 it all made sense to me. It put the pieces together for me growing up in a catholic upbringing and opened my mind to new awareness. For that I'm always grateful to Shirley for being a trailblazer in bringing metaphysical spirituality to the mainstream. 🙏 ❤
Committing adultery is horrible and one of the worst things a human being can do. Don't leave the Catholic Church. This whole "Out on a Limb" thing is just that. Diabolical insanity. This is the devil at work.
@@evamariebryde Not at all, organized religion has been proved to be absolute bunk, take that story about Christs great miracles before the huge crowds, well guess WHAT, it never happened, we KNOW this for a fact, if it HAD occurred it would have been recorded by the HISTORIANS of the day, it would also have been passed along by word of mouth "REMEMBER THE GREAT MAN AND THOSE FANTASTIC MIRACLES HE PERFORMED?!" Instead we find NOTHING, not a word, not a sigh, not a crumb, only some IDIOT who never knew or met Jesus writing about all of this nonsense some two centuries later!
This book, released before the movie, changed my life after my son was kidnapped back in 1991. I never tire of watching this movie and find it most comforting. My spiritually morphed allowing to cope with my loss. Thank you SM. ♥️♥️♥️
This book and movie set me on the spiritual path, up until then I wondered but had no one to speak to about such things. I always feel grateful to Shirley for having the courage to write about such things. Back in the day she was ridiculed for these ideas, that have now become commonplace.
God, the Creator of everything said: The soul who sins shall die. Ezekiel 18:20 The devil, satan, the father of lies, came along with his very FIRST LIE to humanity... Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. Genesis 3:4 People who talk about the "deep love of God" yet believe everything BUT what HE says are ignorant and deceived. You can not claim to know the love of God if you refuse to know His Word. Man made beliefs may bring you comfort, but they are NOT True, andcthey are not what God teaches. They are just ideas someone made up, period! There are some who, after accepting the free Gift of Salvation found in Jesus Christ, shall live forever, and there are also some who will suffer punishment for sin they refused to repent of, and that punishment is permanent death. So please, do not fool yourselves by following after this made up nonsense about reincarnation. Its demonic, straight from the mouth of the devil himself. he lied to Adam and Eve, telling them that they could go on sinning and never have to die. They KNEW that God said, the soul that sins shall die, period. We all sin, and we all have a Savior in Jesus. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins, turn away from those sins, start reading the Bible, and you will become stronger every day to resist temptation to sin. There is NO OTHER WAY to live forever. If you want to know what happens when a person stops breathing, when they die, please read this: www.adventist.org/death-and-resurrection/ I tell you the Truth, you WILL die, and there's NOTHING you can do about it, but that death is NOT the end of the story. There's really Good News about death if you will simply open your heart to the Good News. God bless you as you search for Truth.
How much does it matter why you are with the wrong person who is abusing you unless whatever you tell yourself about this finally gets you out of that abuse?
@@creamofthecrop8286 Thank you for your opinion courtesy of yet another “chrissian” who is certain you’ve cornered the universe with your ignorance and intolerance.
I SO agree Linda! I was curious what year I'd embarked on my Spiritual Journey and it Shirley's book that started me on this crazy adventure! I just googled the year it came out and found this! I didn't know there was a movie! She is such a Gorgeous Goddess! Such an amazing life she's led! She's touched SO many hearts! Any fan of Shirley's is a friend of mine!
Shirley MacLaine was instrumental in my spiritual awakening and my study of metaphysics. I was so excited when I heard her book, Out On A Limb, was to be made into a mini-series. I watched its premiere and have watched many times over the years since. Thank you, Shirley MacLaine, and thank you, Steffe Norberg for uploading this movie!
@@imawade Don’t be an intolerant fool which is exactly what your comment demonstrates. It’s fine to have your own beliefs but to have this kind of arrogance and self pride is despicable. Shame on you.
To struggle is human. To be honest with ourselves is so important. "If we take responsibility, we won't feel frustrated" is a very nice quote in this movie. What each one of us needs changes from person to person, as shown. We may still be blessed not only finding it, but also seeking it. Blessings to all.
This movie changed my life and started me on my own spiritual path. I was so lost in my on religious beliefs from childhood I had no idea that what is known as metaphysical was out there. Thank you Shirley from the depths of my very soul. When I was still so lost in my own grief 2 years after my best friend died your movie saved me. It opened me up to understanding God's love in deep and so profound. Knowing about reincarnation and past lives and the whole rest of the story changed me forever. Thanks for going out on that limb.
Her book of the same name is what got me started, the chakras was my start. Then I went to be initiated by Know Thyself As Soul with Saint Baljit, then found SRF-Self-Realization Fellowship Free lessons met Master then met God and the rest is history. Seven years later I became enlightened and God just moved me away from pollution, on a farm in a forest at the beach. Bran new home came a year later. Been here now a year and a half. Thank you Divine Mother AUM.
I saw this the first time when it appreared on ABC in the 1980's aound 83 I think. The very next day that it came on I ran to the BTree on Melrose. It started my inner jounery to New Age Thought and Wisdom about 10 years later I had my own candesent relationship with a man like she did that made me question everything and he was my Where or When relationship we were 30 years apart in age but when we meet , it is like we knew each other heart and soul....I watch this evey couple of years because it is just a reminder of how far I have come and Who I am in the World at this time in my LIFE. I see and hear something different evey single time I see it...Here's to my Jerry "WTH"...may you RIP and Thank YOU ...Love You Still and I Truly Miss You Much oxoxoxox
I pray that you have belief in God, that you will read the Holy Bible KJV Reading the Word of God is our (believers of God, the Father; Jesus, the Son, the Christ, the Savior, our Messiah) only protection against satan Reading Psalm 35:1-28 aloud every morning and believing, will give you protection. God communicatea to us while we are reading His Word. And we communicate to God when we pray. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Bare your cross. Buy yourself a cross necklace. Say, "I rebuke thee, in the name of Jesus Christ". Yes, there are so many things out there that are real, but alot of those things have been manifested by satan. Don't "talk to a dead loved one", because, even though they may have their same voice, and may look the same, you need to know that it might actually be satan tricking you into seeing/hearing a loved one that passed on. I don't think that many people realize that when they do meth, that the evil things you might experience are real. Stay away from meth, heroin, cocaine/crack, fentanyl, liquor, etc. I have heard some scary stories. Read Psalm 35:1-28 aloud. Psalm 18:30,31 Psalm 90; 91 Read Matthew; Mark; Luke; and John The Baptist. Read Revelations (the only Book that is entirely from Jesus). Jesus tells us what we will see soon. ❤️✝️📖👑🙏🛐♥️😇📯
I saw the movie when it came out on television, rather revolutionary actually, for it's time, later I came upon the book, rather mind blowing, now I know the spirit realm is real and they are communicating all the time, if we pay attention...❤❤❤
I loved this back in the day when it was a made-for-TV movie...and for some reason I decide to watch it again tonight. I quickly found out that Shirley's British socialist lover is played by Charles Dance (Game of Thrones' Lord Tywin) and then, after watching some more, I realized that Shirley's New Age artist friend David is played by recently-deceased actor John Heard. There's a reason why I decided to watch this movie again and it's because John Heard passed away. Peace, Love and Eternal Spirit be with us all.
omg i meet someone like this a person i kow i have know in a past life time ....amzingly after following a dream ..in the dream i was told i had to move to Bulgaria ...here i met my Bulgarian lover of three years ..he died last week ...but he is and was the love of my life ..the one person i kew more than any other on the planet in spite of the language differences ..how amazing .oh he hasn't really gone ..hes around me still ..but i never believed in soul mates till now ..and i saw him the first week i was here four years ago ...i knew at that moment we would be together ..i just knew him and he me ..i ran into him a year later and in ten mins we were kissing hahaha amazing ..the affair is worthy of a book .was the most crazy and yet beautiful time of my life ...
No shes not. She abandoned her little girl to go off making movies and living it up with a solo life. Despite the child's father regularly sexually abusing the girl, and Maclaine left her there even when she found out Maclaine had many affairs with married men and didn't give a damn about the wives and the trial of destruction she left by participating in regular adultery. No, Maclaine is a selfish belly button gazing narcissist. Oh, and told the daughter at age 20 that her father probably was someone else in reality, some astronaut Maclaine slept with
I love everything Shirley MacLaine does! I once had a guided meditation that she did and it was life-changing! Unfortunately I no longer have it but I know it will come back into my life again at the right time. Blessings to all in love and light!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼
As an American 81 Year old woman always ‘in search of,’ I must admit to loving Ms. McLaines energy and happy she can share with All of us. Yes, it is a vast Universe with vast possibilities. 💙🌟
I always turn to this film when I'm in times of being distant from my own spirit. My mum introduced me to it many years ago Now I watch it almost like it's a form of film medicine .
Could you please name other spiritual movies? My all time favourites are - The peaceful warrior, kung fu panda, miracles from heaven and such.. But i need to watch more to dive deeper into this quest... Please advise, anyone? i don't restrict myself to a religion, so open to any spiritual awakening movie.. shouldn't be dogmatic ofcourse..
She left her daughter with the father to be sexually abused daily. And knew about it but left her there. Had multiple affairs in an open marriage with married men. And didn't give a damn about either wedding vows or the wives who didn't know what was going on. Told the daughter when she turned 20 that her father in fact was probably not her biological dad but in fact some astronaut she'd slept with. She's a monster. An 'authentic' self serving cutesy navel- gazing monster.
Just have to share this cos it still makes me laugh. I have a very dear friend, a brilliant pianist who years ago was Shirley MacLaine’s rehearsal pianist without much good to say about her. We talked about this movie and he said, I think she should get an award for portraying a nice person. Love ir.
Thank you for saying this!! Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger saw right through her too. Hopkins said she was the most obnoxious person he'd ever met. She left her little girl with the child's father who sexually abused her at will. And Maclaine knew all about it but chose to leave the daughter where she was so that Maclaine could have a detached life from the girl and be able to make movies and live the high life. Oh yeah, and committed adultery and slept with multiple married men with the wives not knowing or giving a damn about the destruction she made. Oh yeah, she told the daughter at age 20 that her father was probably some other man, some astronaut. Callous and selfish. Yeah, a real class act!
I read the book in the 80's and it blew me away. A few years later, I waited with bated breath for the movie. I loved both the book and the movie and I'm so glad to be able to watch it again. Thanks for posting it. I'm also ordering the book from Amazon so I can read it again. It's one of my all-time favorites.
👋i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world 🙏🌍 I'm originally from Canada currently living in California ☀️☀️☀️☀️and you where are you from if i may ask?
Indeed, Shirley’s book Out On A Limb, and the movie assisted greatly for me to finally meet my teacher in 1990. I remember going to the Bhodi Tree Bookshop in Los Angelas as a matter of passion, after I got off the plane from Australia. I was off to see my teacher Isa Mafu in the Mountains Of Southern Oregon in 1990. I had been studying with him since 1986. I ended up reading nearly all of Shirley’s books, and I remember the wonderful cab driver who drove me to the Bhodi Tree and waited for me there for 2 hours, while I walked and searched for Edgar Cayce books in the wooden shelves of the Bhodi Tree, Shirley thankyou so much for your passion and commitment to humanity. I know I know you Master very well. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
I have watch this movie more than 50 or more times. She changed my life. I am the happiest and full of love. Golden nuggets of nothing but knowledge of pure wisdom. ❤❤❤❤
My mother read the book and saw the movie. The perfume that Shirley pours down the drain at 39:30 is called Ombre Rose. My mother bought it for me for Christmas 1986.
I watched this movie over 35 yrs ago. I had it on Beta, (Whew!) bought the book. She changed my life. My father was in the hospital and she talked about being blessed to be present at her dad's transition. My father did pass unfortunately I was not present and that made me sad. She is an inspiration. I knew I would see my father again and this was not the end. I'm going to enjoy this.again, as well.
Love her, her work, her journey, this has all been inspirational from my first viewing in the 90's, my journey wasn't as exciting as hers, but never the less it was profound. Love my new age gurus LOL. Now at 60 I still look 40 and I contribute it to never loosing my inner child, and my spiritual faith. God is everything.
what an interesting idea born in '55 ... thank you for sharing ... I love this movie bc of the dear friendship these two female figures have for one another... the interagency between the two men having changed herife I never knew ... I'll enjoy reading her book... The ocean season of romance are stupendous...
@@melodyelson3202 Please do read the book, Ms. Elson. It’s really good IMO and if nothing else, it’s thought provoking-even to me at 70+ yrs. old with my well thumbed dog-eared copy of this book ;-)
“But I didn’t understand. I could feel Jerry pulling away from me. I wrote everything I was feeling. I wrote to understand myself, him, the trans-channeling session, my life.” Nothing about abandoning her daughter. This scene says it all.
I was just thinking that. Most people don’t know she was a terrible mother to her daughter. They didn’t have a good relationship because McClaine was/is selfish and all about her career and her men. It was all about her.
People who think they are God act like they think they are God. I found it illuminating to see how many politicians she was involved with. They all think they are God, and that if they have a problem it’s not because they are extremely selfish, but because they haven’t treated themselves like they are God enough. I am God’s. I am not God. I can’t even make my own hair grow by my own efforts.
Something so magnificent was made in the 80's. Love this movie and havent found a single other movie that can match up to this spiritual yet entertaining combination. Thank You Shirley Mclain.
This movie changed my life forever. It introduced me to the world of spirituality in 1990. I read more than 100 esoteric books after seeing it. The Bodhi Tree became my second home 10 years later when I came to live in Los Angeles in the year 2000. As she says in the movie, there are not coincidences, just sinchronicities!
This movie bought me into spirituality a while back - I also read hundreds of esoteric books....and then I found Jesus. He is the truth. The Bible is the truth. Not churches, preachers, pastors, preists, popes, or so called prophets. Just Jesus, my Bible and myself.
Instead of reading 100 esoteric books, (which I think is a hyperbole or exaggeration) you should have read the Bible. People feel emptied and look for weird stuff to fill in their lives and their hearts. All of those things are garbage, fraud, evil to steer you away from God. The only way and the right way is to find Jesus: He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I only watched this ridiculous movie because it was a school assignment; otherwise, I would have never watched it!
@@lufasumafalu5069 Yes, I started doing it involuntarily at the beginning. I had no idea what was happening to me. I felt paralyzed and was so scared. Later when I moved to Los Angeles, I went to a School of Metaphysics and after 3 years I graduated there. They explained what was happening to me and told me how to do it voluntarily or at least, how not to panic. I did it and it was a wonderful experience. Since then I've had several experiences, some good, some scary. Life, a baby, work, and many other stresses have kept me busy so I haven't had an OBE in a long time. At least not voluntary.
I saw this movie as a teenager and always remembered it for a reason. Then I read the book many years later. Now I m watching the movie again. Like her, but in my case since I was a child, i ve always believed in ufos, reincarnation, psychic phenomena, fate, etc. This is all real. Throughout the years, i got proof of it. Past lives are real! Just like everything else she discusses here
It's amazing how we get into situations where we know our heart will be broken, yet we continue on. She knew he was going to break her heart, yet it hurt all the same, even more.
I whatch this .movie when I.was a child so glad I found it thankyou , iv like survey Hackman,s as aactress ever since,she amazing, would love ti meet her ,😊
Tears fall from my eyes as I watch Shirley MacLaine dance through the movie which she sculpted posing lots of questions we all have. Shirley M is what one calls a master acter and thinker. She has a sensitivity for social issues as well, like the movie she directed: Bruno (2009). Her face: beyond beautiful: shivers go up and down my spine in the close-ups of her eyes and lips and hands. She puts them all to work to draw the viewer into the movie making all of us a part of her world. Tears continue to roll down my cheeks when I think of the power of Shirley MacLaine as a visual communicator: her dancing: sublime. Brava, Shirley. You have a generous heart and share it with all of us.
It's a great shame she dresses in fur for much of the film, that demonstrates a distinct lack of empathy. Trapping/imprisoning wild animals to violently steal their body parts is utterly unacceptable. The cruelty of the fur trade is indescribably vile. I'm very disappointed in Miss MacLaine.

This movie brings back such memories! I remember when the book came out I instantly read it and to this day it has helped to guide me. Shirley MacLaine is amazing. ❤❤❤

I remember watching this as a child. I never seen the ending until now. I searched for this years ago and could not find it. Thank you Shirley, I now understand why. Blessings!
She is teaching a very western idea of Karma here. As it was originally taught Karma simply means action-your own action, your own doing. It was about examining ones own actions in order to reduce ignorance and suffering in the world so that people could accomplish their Dharma, their purpose in life. It does not have to do with causal blowback, retribution or punishment for misdeeds.
I read this book years and years ago...I had already been on my own spiritual journey for decades, so none of her personal breakthroughs were all that startling or unfamiliar to me...and, I have a background in professional theatre---so, that was the extra element for me I found most intriguing. I remember being fairly judgmental about her so lightly jumping into an affair with a married man...sighhh...but time teaches us so much as we make our way through the various stages of our lives, doesn't it?
I started my journey when I was in the 3rd grade. Making still time in the back yard writing and talking to the universe. That was about 1965 or 1966. In 1968 I started 7th grade and met one of my Taurus sisters (still friends). Her mom introduced me to Edgar Cayce. And it all snowballed from there. Things started to weave together and make sense. My memories really started to make sense. ** I was a male child in 79ad Herculaneum. Was not Pompeii. My nightmare was making sense now. And then here comes Shirley. I didn’t feel alone anymore. You can’t talk about this stuff to just anyone. A path will show the way and put those in it to help guide or just to talk. I have the movie on DVD, but here I am on RU-vid getting my fix. Be safe and travel well. Love to all !! ❤️✌️
I guess it's time to share this. I never knew anything about my birth father . I'm now sage 52 n took a DNA test to see if I can find him? I didn't, but found out I'm 9% Andean, which are the people of Peru. I had to read up on it all n am blown away by IT. I had a recurring dream for years now that I'm going down the side of a huge mountain with some mystical guides. Just like Peru. Just wanted to share 😏
Same here, I did a ancesty.com and a family member of my biological father reached out a few years ago through ancestry to tell me his whereabouts. At the time I wasn't ready to reach out and open that "box" but he randolmy reached out through Facebook in the last few weeks. I'm in a very "mystical" part of my journey to self and I find this timing to be very divine. Crazy... I had dreams of mountains and living in a mountain a couple of years ago that I now believe were insight that came from my soul about where I am at now in my journey.
@@samanthachildress1091 this is so cool that a few of us are opening up n connecting with each other on this subject. I found out that on my father's side I am like 20 ethnicities lol. I am a avid coffee drinker n lover , so i bought a coffee cup, with a flag n name of each country I found out I'm a part of. So 1 day I'm having coffee in my Spain cup , Portugal cup, next day my Bosnia cup etc. This gives me a chance to feel like I'm experiencing that country that I'm a part of. I have a t shirt for each country too. I tease my roommate sometimes n sing ..." I am the world......" lol. So my hope is to hire this amazing lady Pam , who locates long lost relatives for a living, n to hire her soon to hopefully find my dad . I'm enjoyijng this convo here.
produced in 1992, the pathologically dysfunctional nature of politicians has changed little in 30 years. thankfully our understanding of the 'red flags' of narcissism has improved. how many did you spot?
I have been on this search for decades and I've found myself following in the footsteps that Ms. MacLaine traverses in this movie; exactly the same path lead by my own guides. I really like knowing that others are also on the same path.
Olof Palme, Gerry is an Aquarius...his humanitarian work & care for people is extraordinary. Shirley, it is easy to see why you Loved this man. Prime Minister Palme is a great man...Thank you Shirley for all your books & movies..etc.
Thourghly enjoyed the movie after watching it again since I first saw in the 80's. I even loved the books too. Thank you Shirley,for sharing the first steps of your spiritual adventures and journey in the Astral planes,the first universe of the many in the God Worlds 💖🤗💖 May The Blessing Be 💜🙏🏽💜
Shirley McLain has always been impressive in her movie roles, one of my favorite films is The Apartment with Fred Mcmurray and Jack Lemmon if you’ve not yet seen it take the time to see it!!! Other favorites include Terms of Endearment and Steel magnolias, she brought both characters to life From Aurora to Ouiser she brought out such personalities that I could compare them to my own family members!!! Shirley’s autobiographical writings are as exquisite as her acting, she is definitely one of the best! I don’t know she has been celebrated for her talents in the way she should be? Thank you Shirley, for giving us these unforgettable characters along with your books, you’re truly a fantastically talented human being!!!! 😊
I red the book again after 40 years and now I’m surprised how Shirley accepted that relation with this selfish politician. How she was constantly waiting for him and not listing what he was really saying…he wanted to get out of that relation because he had better priorities. He had what he ones dreamed off…the famous Shirley McLain. And she didn’t see that. She made a romantic blabla story of it. The love story of Shirley and Gerry was a mirror of many love story’s in my live. 40 years ago I red this book so romantically different, I remember 😃 This was my first spiritual book and I thank Shirley for opening this path for me 😘
So true, Shirley is eating the table scraps her lover is throwing her. He is a cliche socialist politician with a mistress, cheating on his wife…. She doesn’t have my sympathy in the role she plays.
Shirley Book (Going Within)fell at my feet , a few times. in a library when I was 23, so I decided to read it. So yes this movie was next along with all her Audiobooks I have never fit in, never will but I am on my own Journey, and I wouldn’t change a thing
My friend, you *do* “fit in.” You’re a human being doing the best you can without falling into the rut of religiosity. Best wishes on your continuing journey. May you learn the lessons, love others and respect all of life. We are connected to all you see around you whether it’s people, plants, animals etc. We are all part of a much greater whole and we are no less than every other living entity. Take care of you-*you matter too.*
Every time I see Charles Dance in anything over the years- The Golden Child, Game of Thrones, just recently 2021’s The King’s Man- it brings me back to this mini-series I watched as a kid. Like for others, it had a profound influence on me then, and I’m glad I found it here. Looking around in the comments, I wish the group for us remember it could get together and compare memories of it and how it influenced our minds. Thank you for uploading it!
This book,film,changed my life. I too always felt,knew there was something big going on that I knew somehow,just on the edge of my memory. Why I clung to this. It helped my spiritual journey. I had awakenings happen to me,still do. Relationship. Its an amazing feeling knowing it is all real. Past lives,love eternal. God. I love Shirley dearly for sharing this.
Thank you for posting this movie. Read the book and watched film when it was on TV. Now I am showing it to my millennial daughter. It is still wonderful.
Me too actually this movie was the one that opened my mind to all things spiritual and metaphysical, so I'll always will be grateful to Shirley MacLane for that!
I have always adored Shirley McLaine...as an actress and also for her joyful persona, her charmingly mischievous eyes but when I saw this movie, I came to really love and admire her in so many ways. She is an authentic person, sad that she is ridiculed by some, but I suppose that they lack the vision to see beyond the apparent or beneath the surface, which is their loss!
On RU-vid The Council of Nicea (not sure on spelling) in Constanopole in 1683 is the meeting where they decided to take reincarnation out of the Bible so people would not want to wait to work for God. This book wasn't a movie then, but got me started on finding the knowledge to go from a Seeker to a Seer. I'm so blessed and happy now living with the Holy Spirit, my Divine Mother. AUM OmOmOm. I know I'll meet Shirley in the Satva Heaven of Goodwill. Happiness
Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger saw right through her too. Hopkins said she was the most obnoxious person he'd ever met. She left her little girl with the child's father who sexually abused her at will. And Maclaine knew all about it but chose to leave the daughter where she was so that Maclaine could have a detached life from the girl and be able to make movies and live the high life. Oh yeah, and committed adultery and slept with multiple married men with the wives not knowing or giving a damn about the destruction she made. Oh yeah, she told the daughter at age 20 that her father was probably some other man, some astronaut. Callous and selfish. Yeah, a real class act!

When he tells her (1:43:15), “I like to be admired, but the irony is not by those people who really mean something to me,” he’s describing Shirley’s attitude toward her own daughter. It wasn’t an accident or past life that drew her to a man who was as toxic, selfish, narcissistic and cruel to his loved ones as Shirley was. Like attracts like.
Right! She chose to not be an emotionally present mother and she felt entitled to sleepnwith a married man who she later believed they were lovers in a prior lIfe. Stopping this movie here - too far out on a (delusional) limb for me 😂
Loved this then ... and I still do. I had just read the book prior to her coming to Virginia Beach for a confrence at the Cayce Foundation. Feels like yesterday!
I read 'Out on a Limb' many years ago, and loved it. This film I enjoyed also! What I did not enjoy was the constant 'casting of stones' by many commenting on Shirley's affair. Surely we've all done things we thought perhaps we shouldn't, yet our heart says to do it? And I am darn sure all of you have NOT been angels!!
Why is it her responsibility to turn down a man that knowingly made a reservation for a fancy date for her while he's married? Honestly, it's ridiculous!
@Jillyjogs I agree. Look at it as people using their right to speak their minds. It's the yin and yang of life . Each compliments the other. Without down there would be no up. No need to accomplish anything. To each his own.
@@IrmaSalgadoN And you’re no example of tolerance. Apparently you’re young and didn’t watch the spectacular downfall of those “chrissian evangelicals” in the ‘90’s. *None of us have cornered the market on spirituality including YOU.*

This was one of my mom's most fave movies, so she passed it on to us, her daughters. So, it's a very special movie, not.just for the spiritual message but also, the family meaning for us. R.I.P momma..Jan 27, 2021
Thank you for putting this movie out there. It reignited the spiritual movement world wide, unfortunately it a lot of con-men ruined it as well in the 1990s.
Kevin Ryerson will still give readings over the phone. I did one with him a few years ago. It was phenomenal. We had a great chat and he answered a lot of questions. The trance channeling was incredible. There were several things that he hit the nail on the head. He knew things no one could have known. If you can, seek him out. Shirley may be inaccessible (which is her right), but you can talk with Kevin.
Came here after watching her channeler on New Thinking Allowed. At the time this movie came out I heard her name in hushed tones of crazy and I kinda went along with that. Now here I am years later learning about my soul’s journey. Thank you, Shirley MacLaine. 🙏🏻
Definitely one of my very favourite movie of all time. Absolutely must watch, will change your life. Shirley MacLaine... What a Beautiful Soul! Thank you!

@@Victoria-gq8gt so you chose me to vent your response to my comment. Look what everyone else has said about her have you read their comments And told other people what you told me It must have been my name that stuck out. I am a proud grandmother.
I read the book several times, and I watched the mini series. Then, in 1989, I got the opportunity to go to Peru for a year to work with the Quechua Shamans of the Andes. It was the greatest gift I ever gave myself. Thank you, Shirley MacLaine!!!
This film came up on my feed first thing this morning. I was so enchanted by the Synchronistity! I've been a life long fan of Shirley Maclaine's work & watched all her films as a child & teenager. She always reminded me of my mother, for sime reason. It think it's her charisma & intellect! I was living in Santa Fe at the hight of her spiritual seeking & then she was quite a contraversial star, as she'd written her book 'Out On A Limb' & was not taken seriously with her openess about her experiences. I actually waited on her one afternoon at the restaurant Tomasita's. I was so starstruck I spilled a bit of salsa on her while serving the chips! She was quute irritated by that & I was horrorstruck by my fumble. Wow! What a trip to finally have this film come to me & be reminded of her work toward enlightenment! 🌟 I will find her book & read it asap! ❤
Heard the Bodhi Tree Bookstore closed down...the Omega Centre, similar type of bookstore in Toronto closed down too. We need to resurrect book stores and the COMFORTABILITY of reading.
@@DragonMagick so true, my youngest daughter loved it too. She was about 10 and used to come with me, and read the children's book section. She loved the birds and the owner often took one out of the cage and placed it on her shoulder to enjoy. Even now (She is in her late 30's) she remembers all the good times we had there.
I heard a lot about this film and wanted to watch. I'm glad it's shown on RU-vid! It's a heart-touching movie. I have the same opinion as she does about Socialist. Look what happened to France, so many rich people ran away who already paid lots of taxes and social security, now what government doesn't have enough contributors so in order to cover the loss, they started to impose unnecessary taxes on middle class! Thanks to former president.
Great coverage about issues we all deal with. Most spiritual seekers end up stepping on social boundaries regretfully, making good from it is wonderful. Shirley does the world good while being the “bad girl”. The power of love is amazing. Filling your life with love is a good thing even when it hurts. Love your world god-friends.
Shirley is an Entertainer, she has worked all over the world. A parent has to make sacrifices...it is what it is. And I DO believe what she experienced. I believe the reason she "changed" from what others knew her to be, is that she wasn't spiritual before....and that is what she felt missing in her life, was her Spirituality. Then as she was taught esoteric knowledge, she found true meaning and purpose within herself....as a Spiritual Being
She neglected and abandoned her daughter!!! I don’t know what kind of parenting that you believe is normal but that is NOT the type of mother i had. I was her WORLD, she would do anything and sacrifice what ever it took to make sure I was happy first and foremost. That is instinct. This is someone who had affairs with married men, cheated on her husband, abandoned her little girl. That is narcissistic evil behavior. That is not the instinct of a good mother or human being regardless of finding her so called ‘spirituality”
I want to be open minded but...am I understanding this right? He's pursuing her but he is married with 2 teenagers? As a married woman and mother of teenagers myself, I struggle to be charmed by their relationship and therefore struggle to be invested in the storyline. And struggle to maintain respect for Shirley Maclain. I mean...what an awful thing to participate in so casually. My teenage daughters need their father and he spends a great deal of time with them. This dude is too busy saving "other" people while his family is neglected and he flits around with another woman. This is pretty terrible stuff.
I'd just have to chime in ,I doubt it was a relationship ... Just hot sex ,some people cannot control the temptation & their keep lust under wraps. I totally agree with your comment ,to lie & connive & sneak around in itself has consequences.🇨🇦🪶
Some of the people posting here seem to be upset by Shirley sharing her spiritual journey. She is not forcing you to accept her beliefs, or to read her books or to follow her website. It is your choice. Some of you may remember Jim and Tammy Faye Baker on the PTL network and their scandal of financially ripping off their congregation. Perhaps you remember the Jimmy Swaggart sex scandal. He was caught with a prostitute and went on tv with tears streaming down his face saying, " I have sinned against you my Lord". Three years later he was again caught with a prostitute and defrocked. My point is, in many places in this world, people's belief systems may be different from your own, but putting them down only shows how insecure you are in your beliefs.
Wow! Thanks for the perfectly succinct explanation. I’ll make sure I employ this next time I’m shamed by my siblings die my beliefs who are hardcore atheists!
Tammy and Jim Baker are False Teachers of the Bible. They were frauds. So was Jimmy Swaggert. I take offense if someone gives a false representation of the God I worship.
How enlightened can someone actually be, if they dont have empathy towards their own child? We all have our shadows, but I am wary about cruelty towards children. Nevertheless I enjoy her movies, especially this one.

What you speak as truth can be as true or false as the old game of telephone… whispering a quotation from person to person in a circle! By the time it gets back to the first person and is recited back by the last receiver…it is so far from the original words it’s ridiculous! I’d respectfully suggest that you don’t adamantly share something you heard as profound truth thereby placing unsubstantiated gossip as judgment foolishly believed. Someday it may happen with you as the subject… perhaps that would open your eyes. Ignorantly posting slander has its Karma… with truth it’s only defense.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! one of my all time favorite movies and virtually impossible to find unless you want to pay an exorbitant price. I don't know why they don't re-release this film?? Thanks again, can't wait to watch tonight!
👋i hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity love and peace 💞❤️🕊️🕊️ all over the world 🙏🌍 I'm originally from Canada currently living in California ☀️☀️☀️☀️and you where are you from if i may ask?
Shirley was 50 years old when she published this book-- so old to finally see behind the veil. I did not realize that she knew nothing of this other realm til she was middje aged. I guess she was making her delightful films before . She was so elfin🧚. Of course, she's 90 now so she had many decades after her growing awareness to enjoy her expanded🌈 awareness. In her naivite she does seem more approachable than interviews I'd observed her expounding on her ideas.
