Exploring Consciousness since 1996 Thought-provoking films feature humanity’s endless spiritual search. From ancient wisdom traditions to the latest interfaith accords, scientific investigations to philosophical ‘truths’. The emphasis always on exploration, of looking into the mystery of life, into the pain and suffering, the chaos and the confusion. But always there is the little flame flickering inside each of us: our interconnectedness to all beings, to all matter, to the whole universe. |
