Enlightenment On The Couch

Spirit survives this world and flesh doesn’t last, because in true nature we are the inexhaustible fire but also its selfsame sparks. We are eternal flame, but just a glint, burning out in this dream.

Waves

Sit in reverie, and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.
__Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Puppets

... animated by unseen forces.

Present

If we do not take the time to stop and quietly contemplate the now, we will never be able to find peace. Thus only in the stillness we might comprehend all movement in the world. However, even surrounded by the most deafening noise, serenity may arise… If we embrace the present moment simply as it is.
__Eckhart Tolle

Suffering

A truth that many people never understand is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.
__Thomas Merton



There is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams, than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.
__Paulo Coelho



Ignorance about who we really are, is the origin of all human suffering.
__Buddha

Rain

The desire of a thoughtlessly living man grows like a creeper. Drifts from one life to another, like a monkey looking for fruit in the forest. When one is overcome by this wretched, clinging desire in the world, one's sorrows increase like grass growing up after a lot of rain. But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water...
__Buddha


Video by Shaun Walker

might we absolve ourselves, to renounce and let it go allˇ
when sunrise enlights the soul and illusion just dissolves
to countless bitter tears, forever lost after fresh rainfall

Volcano

The elder from this lands in Vanuatu says: we live with the volcanoes and we must respect them. If you do so, they´ll bring you good. But if you do evil, then they´ll be coleric... We live with the nature, for sure we can´t be surpised for what we have, because she gives to us... It´s during our youth when we learnt good and evil.

1min.

The essential human comes to know, to feel that is not separate from the whole, and there is no need to seek and search for any destiny on its own. Things are happening, the world is moving --call it God... He is doing things, or they are happening of their own accord. There is no need for me to make any struggle, any effort; there is no need for me to fight for anything. I can relax and be. The essential man is not a doer. The accidental man is a doer. The accidental man is, of course, then in anxiety, tension, stress, anguish, continuously sitting on a volcano. It can erupt any moment, because he lives in a world of uncertainty and believes as if it is certain. This creates tension in his being, because he knows deep down that nothing is certain.
_Osho

The Clearings

The clearing of the woods is a centre into which it is not always possible to enter.. It is another kingdom that a soul inhabits and guards.. since it seems that the nothing and the void -or the nothing or the void- have to be present or latent continuously in human life. And as to not be devoured by the nothing or by the void you may have to create them in yourself .. I also center the heart because it is the only thing that from within our self gives away sound.. And only because of it, the privileged organisms that have it hear themselves. Only the faraway stars, pures, while they are inaccessible to their colonization, will provide the real image of an identical being to its life; innocent, as if it had only been created without having to be born.. It becomes deaf and mute in times, circunstancially, the heart.. It leaves then all place to the operations of the mind that move that way, without any assistance, abandoned to themselves.
_María Zambrano

Forgotten Places

When time passes by over the human imprint, often something intriguing inhabits these abandoned places.


By Zac Boyet

Thought it might be the observer, whom while gazing at the emptiness of such an awful shadow, tends to look for some meaning out of its shape. Maybe because the senseless becomes so unbearable, a past reality asks to be created. Like an instinctive reaction, attempting to calm the lament of the soul.

Learning to Fly

Another time lapse with dancing stars. The illusionary dance around our globe, where the movement and the stillness are at the same time confused and revealed.

Amazing Beauty

Give you a break, take a deep breath and open your view to the beauty. It is really there, just happens sometimes that we need to change our perspective to see it.



Anytime, we may be surprised at the beauty around us. Even we are not used to dayly notice such a miracle, it´s always there, right before our eyes.

Dancing Shiva

3½min.

In Hinduism is said that when Shiva, the destroyer, assumes the form of Natraj or the cosmic dancer, enclosed in a burning circle, his energy and enthusiasm destroy the old and create new life.

He´s represented standing on top of a demon, because has the power to conquer evil and spiritual ignorance.

Shiva's dance represents the energy that keeps the universe running and all the joys of creation, death, and rebirth; is also said that if he ever stops dancing, universe will cease to exist.

Smell of Desire

Enigma

Was George Bernard Shaw who said that there are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.

Qatsi

Three motion pictures which take a revealing and shocking look at modern life and its imbalances.

It's not that we use technology, we live technology. Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe.


Intro - 2min.

Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of balance (1982) - 1h25min.

Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation (1988) - 1h25min.

Naqoyqatsi: Life as War (2002) - 1h25min.

In Albert Einstein's words; the most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.
