Sue Johnston's Shangri La

Sue Johnston goes in search of her life long dream - to find the lost world of Shangri La.

We follow Sue as she sets out to find her childhood dream - Shangri La.   Sue first came across the story of Shangri La as a 16 year old in 1959 when she watched the old black and white movie, Lost Horizon, with her mother on their first black and white TV.  The film was based on a book written by James Hilton in 1933. She read the book voraciously and has been re-reading it over the years since. As a child she was always fascinated by the orient and the mysteries of the far east. But in those post war austerity days in Merseyside the chances of ever following her dream seemed  unattainable goal.  Then life took over. She got married, had a child, started a very successful acting career, got divorced and  the dream slipped further and further away - into the dark forgotten corners of her mind.

Recently as her life started to change. Her son left home and settled into his own life and her parents died.. Her sense of mortality hit home so she decided that it was time to try and follow that childhood dream. She decided to go in search of Shangri La - to find the inspiration for Hilton's book, the story of Lost Horizon.

We follow Sue on her quest through SW China's Yunnan Province and into Tibet, traveling over high mountain passes, into deep hidden valleys and gorges, through bustling towns and ultimately on horse back to her final destination, the scared mountain of Kawarkapo and the beautiful tiny isolated village of Yipung on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau - fulfilling a childhood dream to find the mysterious world of Shangri La.

Yes. Shangri La is more a state of mind than an actual place.

Some have called me delusional  but I think it's as real as Peoria Illinois.  Maybe more so.  Not to get too woo-woo, but I've seen it in my dreams and visions, and one of the beings in his paintings has also visited me personally.  See:

Imagine my surprise when I saw the Roerich painting afterwards.

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Going to check it out now!

Hi Admin,  All the tooing and froing of conversations  and I missed the programme lol.   Lucky for me I have Virgin Plus so I was able to access it.  I enjoyed the programme immensely.  Sue is such a lovely person and she did find her Shangri La.  I was surprised she didn't stay there for a few days.  I am not her age yet - but I would simply love to spend time amongst the monks - honest to God - such peace omg!!!

Kind regards,
Tess x

TV highlight of the week:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00qzlbv/Horizon_20092010_What...

Horizon
6/6. What Makes a Genius?

Could you have come up with Einstein's theory of relativity? If not - why not?

This is what Marcus du Sautoy, professor of mathematics, wants to explore. Marcus readily admits that he is no genius, but wants to know if geniuses are just an extreme version of himself - or whether their brains are fundamentally different.

Marcus meets some remarkable individuals - Tommy, an obsessive artist who uses his whole house as his canvas; Derek: blind, autistic, and a pianist with apparently prodigious gifts; Claire, who is also blind, but whose brain has learnt to see using sound.

Marcus is shown how babies have remarkable abilities which most of us lose as teenagers. He meets a neuroscientist who claims he has evidence of innate ability, a scientist who's identified a gene for learning, and Dr. Paulus, who has discovered how to sharpen the brain... by electrically turbo-charging it

Horizon

Is Everything We Know about the Universe Wrong?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00rgg31/Horizon_20092010_Is_Everything_We_Know_About_The_Universe_Wrong/

There's something very odd going on in space - something that shouldn't be possible. It is as though vast swathes of the universe are being vacuumed up by a vast and unseen celestial vacuum cleaner. The accidental discovery of what is ominously being called 'dark flow' not only has implications for the destinies of large numbers of galaxies - it also means that large numbers of scientists might have to find a new way of understanding the universe.

How to Live a Simple Life Friday 07 May
9:00pm - 10:00pm
BBC2
1/3
Fed up with the endless frenzy of consumerism, TV's funkiest vicar Peter Owen Jones is following the example of St Francis of Assisi. This does not, he tells us, mean he'll be talking to the birds. Instead he'll try to live without money in order to discover whether, as Assisi believed, "poverty can bring meaning" to his life. So he hands over his cash and starts growing his own food, swapping his labour for a bag of rice or a pint of beer and relying on the kindness of others. Sceptics will point out the obvious flaws - he's being paid by the BBC to do this, for one thing. But that misses the point. There's a bit more sermonising than we're used to from Owen Jones as he shares his thoughts about modern lifestyles and the demise of community spirit, but once his project is under way he's as inspirational, entertaining and charismatic as ever.

Kevin McCloud: Slumming It
Sunday 09 May
9.00pm and 2.10am  
More4

1/2
Get ready to be jolted out of your first-world comfort zone and filled with a sense of deep inadequacy by Kevin McCloud's latest offering. As part of Channel 4's Indian Winter season, he visits Dharavi, a part of Mumbai that is one of the most densely populated slums in the world. Only a rough-cut sample of the programme was available for preview, but it's clear McCloud is overwhelmed by the intensity of the place and by the crush of families cheerfully living in the midst of raw sewage and a toxic sludge of chemicals. Yet what strikes him most is that Dharavi has a lot to teach the West about sustainable city living. When he's not recoiling from the squalor and stench of the place, he's marvelling at the workers there who recycle 80 per cent of Mumbai's waste by hand, or the fact that the residents are "the best dressed people on the planet". It's a sobering journey that concludes in part 2, as McCloud meets the man behind plans to redevelop the whole area.

Lost Horizon (1937)
Monday 09 August
12:15pm - 2:15pm
BBC2
Here's one of the great dream fulfilment movies, showing that there is a heaven on Earth with lasting peace and happiness, tucked away in the Himalayas. In his enthusiasm to film the novel by James Hilton (who also wrote Goodbye, Mr Chips), Columbia's ace director Frank Capra persuaded the studio to spend a record $2.5 million. The money was well utilised to create a Shangri-la of Art Deco cleanliness (the art direction won one of the film's two Oscars) and simplicity populated with unfamiliar faces - most memorably Sam Jaffe as the 250-year-old High Lama - to contrast with the typecasting of Ronald Colman, Thomas Mitchell, Edward Everett Horton and others as the outsiders. Colman ensures the film's success - his sincerity and passion make believers of us all.
