    Inspiration

    An insightful documentary series that explores the idea of self-discovery and spiritual freedom. Through three episodes, it challenges viewers to question their identities and encourages deep reflection, showing that the path to true understanding is about letting go of false beliefs instead of following a set direction. The cinematography is beautifully crafted, enhancing the emotional depth of each episode, while the narration provides a soothing yet thought-provoking guide through the journey. Overall, it's an inspiring series for anyone interested in personal growth and spirituality, offering valuable insights that stay with you long after watching.

    Should not be called documentary, it's a video.

    To be called a documentary, you must only present facts/truth backed by evidence. It is lacking in this movie. Meaning of samadhi is tried to be explained using analogies, but it failed terribly. Most of the facts presented are distorted. Sometimes, they are plain wrong. Pacing of the voiceover is kept slow to give a pseudo sense that the things being told are deep and you will take time to understand. Video seemed pushed. It looked like they recorded the audio first and then searched the Internet for images/footage which would fit the context.

    Good for ego's to start with

    Imagine the world where there aren't that many movies being made because people don't need the distraction because they don't know escapism. The movies that would be made would consist of 98% treatises on how to be totally free. If a movie were produced where people kill each other, most people would react with amazement and disgust.

    Because the collective consciousness has not yet reached that stage, it is unfortunately exactly the other way around: 98% of the films are about people who are in conflict or shoot each other because all unseen egos like to watch violence. When a few movie productions appear that do deal with consciousness, they are of course mocked by the ego's because if there is one thing the ego fears, it is that it will be discovered. Some of the comments here are living proof of that.

    Samadhi is a sequence of universal truths from various religious disciplines. The movie does not zoom in anywhere and therefore remains too general to really lead to an expansion of consciousness. Also the voice over may be too monotonous to carry throughout the film.

    Nevertheless, Samadhi is made with love and guts and presents a wonderful opportunity to delve into ancient wisdom. It contains beautiful texts and animations and the movie can be a good first reason to look inward. A nice first opportunity for the ego to discover itself.

    Advaita non-dualism explained beautifully!

    This is the movie to watch if in your current spiritual level, non-dualism makes sense. You will find many reviewers giving a negative review, that's because they were not ready for the movie - as yet. I often come back to watch this again, when I want to see something which nutures the soul. Lovely movie and kudos to the maker!
