    Stock footage

    Stock footage with some new age music to give you something to be entertained by while the narrator tells you in all kinds of confusing ways how you should just stop sucking. Spiritual teaching is a scam and while you can reach a state of peace, it takes a lot of work to create the physical conditions to be able to enjoy such a state. Time is all you have, don't waste it.

    The world isn't as grim as I thought it was.

    It's been a couple of years since I first saw this film. It opened a door to possibilities I would never accept to even consider. Now, I thank you for this. It truly did inspire me (a hard atheist at the time) to begin a spiritual journey. Through that journey, I at some point got to experience Samadhi. In no way have I finished the journey, as it is not the point. But I do know I now live a better life, not in spite of suffering, but because I accept and welcome it. Not only that. But it has helped me helped others around me, and to be more loving. I see it as my purpose now, to inspire as many as possible to do their own journey as well. Like you have done.

    It's okay

    I get the purpose of wanting a better understanding of life and of who we are, but no one, including the director/writer of this movie, owns the truth. It's a perspective, a collection of books, religions, movies and thoughts that he is putting together. Some things said are unfounded, such as hunger in the world is increasing. It's actually decreasing. In that sense we are better off today than we were hundreds of years ago. The tone of voice tries to be persuasive, tries to put you into a meditative state but instead comes out as annoying. Overall I give it a 6/10 because there are some thoughts that are worth exploring.

    Good...

    This film is very complex and reflective, finally I still don't know how to find my samadhi, too deep to capture, too intense for me to understand, demands a lot from the sensitive's unconscious plus a necessary film to stop, breathe, think, and act...
