Thank you 🖤

8:14 👌✨ Thank you. Sometimes the simplest advice can be the most powerful if we actually pay attention

everyone should dance ❤

I agree , and this is no coincidence, thank you for walking through 💕 In agreement

Wow I had massive goosebumps! Thanks so much for sharing tis beautiful wisdom, something I have been wanting to hear 💗

Good stuff🎉

Nice meta on this video, hits like a ton of bricks.

The infinite source is acting with you , through you, as you and for you… Jackpot 🎰

Breathtaking for sure! I understand maybe your pimary purpose is to sell prints, and maybe I'm trying to get something for free, but a little more technical info would be interesting and helpful to amateurs like me, i.e., settings, gear, light placement, power, etc. Thanks.

Stunning shots!

Nice convo guys 🙌

I would love to provide this meditation free from any ad interruptions. However, as of posting this video, the channel is not monetized. Therefore, TH-cam will place ads on any video they want and collect ad revenue for themselves. The sooner the channel becomes monetized, the sooner I can remove ads, or at least make sure they are not placed in the middle of the video to ensure a quality meditative experience. How you can help: 1. Like & Subscribe - the quicker we get 1000 subscribers, the closer I am to monetization. 2. use an ad-blocker if possible 3. if You can afford TH-cam Premium, you won't have to deal with ads ever. Thank you!

Love this!!

Love this. Thanks for sharing your creative process. Those final images are stunning!

Thanks for sharing this! Love what you’re saying and resonate with it so much :) 😊

An artist mindset 🔥🔥

TH-cam is putting ads all over this video, which I will be able to remove once the channel is monetized. Until then I recommend a good ad blocker or going with TH-cam Premium so you can enjoy this without any rude interruptions. 🙏

Are you a gangster you look like one of them HAHA

"He who makes a [monster] of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." I've grown to admire a great villain. Alan Rickman, Ian McEllen, and Geoffrey Rush all played many very well. I recently heard someone say, "I don't mind playing the villain in your story, because you're a clown in mine."

The example of joker is perfect 👌 👌

4:07 creepy at this timestamp when you speak about alice and marilyn theres a disembodied voice or something check it out.

Good stuff, man. I needed that.

I have always been fascinated with shadow work. I had a particularly cathartic experience with it in my art. I was plagued for many years with visitations from shadow people during sleep paralysis, it was some pretty nasty shit. My first script and feature film were based on those experiences. The weird part is, as soon as I finished making the film, the visits from those malevolent entities ended. It was almost as if the external expression of those experiences acted a s a kind of exorcism. Make of that what you will, but I found it quite a compelling coincidence that the visits ended after the film was done.

Rilke is always a good choice. Congratulations on finishing your film. Everything you say about wringing ourselves out to create art is accurate. I’m finishing a script for a puppet show right now and it has been the hardest thing I’ve ever created. This video comes at the right time to help me with a rewrite of the climax. Appreciate your gift of this video. Peace.

I will never get back into credit card debt ever again.

Great video - the ads really threw me though. Make your money for sure, but on a sleep video is diabolical LOL

I resonate very much with your words. I have been an independent musician and filmmaker for 4 decades, I have made similar choices in risking it all to make two feature films and many albums over the course of those 40 years. I am 58 years old, still finding ways to keep doing it, I do not know how to do anything else, but it has become a deep struggle to keep it going. There was a decade or so where I was actually making a decent living as a filmmaker, but things changed and now I'm struggling again, working any side gigs I can get to keep my head above water. I have spent the last two years experimenting with youtube just to keep producing content and stay on my game, but it is honestly quite depressing and deflating when you put so much work into a video and it barely gets any views. Not trying to be a downer, I appreciate the sentiment in your video and I agree wholeheartedly that you gotta take your shots, but I think there are a lot of people that fall for the lie that if you work hard enough and pay your dues you will succeed. Nothing is guaranteed, especially not in the entertainment business - you only hear the success stories, the ones who fall short are relegated to obscurity. That being said, I have no regrets in choosing the art life, I'm certain I would have been miserable doing anything else.

Thanks for the cautious optimism. It's a really hard time to be trying to break in---we're not even sure WHAT we're trying to break in to...

Just discovered your channel through my feed recommendations, watched a couple of videos and found that I very much resonate with your perspectives on art so I hit the sub button .Just wanted to let you know the algorithm is working for you, I know from personal experience that for newer smaller channels this can be a great frustration. Good content, I'm rooting for you brother 👍🏼

Yeah, I loved this philosophy.

The problem with not making money isn't always because it is the primary motive. When you see others making money hand over fist, for art that looks like it was done by a blindfolded three year old by with a broken crayon, You feel like you're just spinning your wheels working so hard to hone your skills. Money translates to recognition, and /or validation. And isn't that what we really want? To know that what we've worked so hard on is appreciated?

Being willing to make terrible art gets it down on paper. Then you might be able to fix it.

If you're not pissing someone off, you're likely not doing it right.😅

Do you think the tides are turning with Hollywood and they are going to stop with the woke garbage, and go back to creating great story telling?

Great prognosis

Absolutely on the nose. Thankyou for confirming my own assessment.

I enjoyed your thoughts especially with regards to celebrity and I think you're right in that there are so many niches and creative nooks and crannies to explore. People want authenticity and if that means a exploration off indie cinema that is long overdue.

From a film maker's perspective, seeing Samsara in the cinema made me sit in silence for a while, then whisper that 'anything is possible'. The Qatsi trilogy starting with Koyanisqatsi were shot by the same people and are of similar transcendental and enlightening nature.

Interested in Samsara (no dialogue? awesome), but I will try to watch all 5. I AM an artist creating. One of my projects is a tarot deck--loads of symbolism, 79 images (incl card back). And have you searched for tarot readings? Anyone who can shuffle has a reading channel, and they can't really tell me anything new at this point. But a principle that is almost universal is that it all comes from within. I am ready to find my own answers. Meditation is rather [disappointing?] for lack of a better word. I am also a thinker. So this is perfect. Thank you! Looking forward to more videos like this!

How dare you make a list without consulting me first.

I was fortunate to get the chance to see Tree of Life and Samsara in the theater! Both very much worth it. I had to speak a very lengthy disclaimer to my family who were coming to see Tree of Life with me, as I knew what I was getting into but they didn't. I love Waking Life! Showed that one to a bunch of friends. American Beauty was on my mind recently, interestingly enough. It's easily been 15 years since I've seen it. I would go back and watch it again.

There is no spoon is such an iconic line

Amen Brother. Tip of the hat to Alex Grey here… his book The Mission of Art is a lifesaver for artists.

Wow, I really like your videos. I find what you said to be super inspiring. I have such a terrible time creating, but you gave me new perspective!

Samsura sounds amazing. I don't truly appreciate cinema, but I found certain scenes of The Kingdom of Heaven to be so shockingly beautiful that it changed the way I view the world.

nice video very calm
