This is an awesome video. I'm always looking for anything explaining the mind. Who Am I is a big question. One that I will always be searching for. I have my own mental health youtube channel. I also work in the profession. I love to teach the mind. Its the journey that I took for myself to work with my own anxiety and Depression. Those that have started the journey of discovering themselves have moved forward witj their own mental health situation. I've subs ribed and looking forward to watching more. I have put this up onto my own channel community. Thank you...Namaste 🙏🙏
What an incredible film George. I am 60 years old and have cancer for the second time. Being on chemotherapy once again, I found myself weak and powerless. I needed a word of inspiration to pick myself up and continue to fight, and I found that source of inspiration in your beautiful film. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I am sending love and healing your way. I'll also add that Turkey tail mushrooms are great for picking the immune system back up after chemotherapy. In Japan they use Turkey tail mushrooms along side chemotherapy. Gabor Mate held me a lot as well with my health. Good luck to you and much love ❤️
Lucky you I don’t think i’ll make it to 31 i’m despised by everyone and have endured 7 years of the worst torture known to man still bemused as to what I could have possibly done to warrant such brutality. I guess the answer to that is not unaliving myself sooner
George simply I can say that I’ve been watching this film around two days, moreover I need to analyze whatever you said in this. Not only this but also your documentary is so grateful for my life at this moment. Therefore congratulations for this masterpiece, please I insist that you have to continue inspiring more people. Thank you!
Well done George! Beautiful to watch and perfectly written. I'm very glad you started with the animals. We can learn so much from them; they truly live in the moment. Thank you for all your work on this. 👍
I wept in seeing your vulnerability, honesty, and loving heart. This project is infused with love and care. The purpose to help is deeply felt. Thank you for sharing your journey and spiritual truths. Perhaps one day, we’ll meet in person…blessings.
A heartfelt "Thank You!" for your efforts in this lovely film! I'm 71 years old and have practiced mindfulness, tai chi and qigong for 30 years. It's been a marvelous, life changing and sustaining part of my daily life. Cheers!
“I am just one aperture through which the universe can experience itself” … my favourite line. Wonderful film experience for myself and the universe therefore (I guess?!) well done to all involved.
This quote is something Alan Watts said in one of his lectures. Nevertheless, thank you George for compiling wisdom of Taoism, Buddhism and Hinduism into something beautiful. It took me 40 years of introspection to reach samadhi and there is nothing more important in our lifetime then getting to know out true Self.
Wow! I have been observing your development through what you shared over the past years. This film is a testimony to what you have mastered, in becoming and continuing to be a human being who genuinely cares about the world, and understands its intricate connections. Thank you for this masterpiece, i will watch it again with friends.
Such beautiful offering to the world, thank you, George. It arrived at my inner doorstep at the last day of the year, opening a way of living for a year to come which might go into history as a rumbling one. Being reminded that peace comes from within can prove to be the greatest gift for the days to come.
An excellent film. As a child, I discovered that nature had to the power make me happy. I was fortunate enough to live one minute from a large woodland which was my refuge. As a teenager, I would even sneak off during school lunch break to the the beach. (It wasn't allowed.) It was there I discovered a meditation which I called later on in life, 'Touching Earth'. I did not know I was meditating at the time. I lay on my back on the pebbles, head nearly touching the incoming waves and sunk my body into the Earth. I listened to the waves and my breathing calmed. I went back to school refreshed. Schools should teach meditation in my opinion. Later on in life I learned the 'Inner Smile' meditation, which is very powerful, and tai chi qigong. I immerse myself in nature every day, in the woods, by the fjord or the mountains. Nature is my healer, my teacher and enables me to express who I truly am. There are a couple of points I want to make regarding statements in the video. 1. 'on this stunning planet, the only place we know to support life in the whole universe'. There is much evidence to suggest life exists elsewhere in the universe. 2. You also suggest that we, the human species, are a result of evolution. There is now some evidence to suggest otherwise. This of course is being denied by mainstream science. We cannot always assume that mainstream science is correct and have to question everything. Critical thinking is crucial if we as a species are to find out the truth about who we are, where we truly come from and where we go when we die. According to science, consciousness just ceases to exist and that's it. Although this is slowly changing how long will it take to completely get rid of the lie? Be curious, never stop asking questions and trying to find the answers.
Great film!!! Very complete, it has history, anthropology, philosophy and practice. I’ve followed your videos since a year ago and I’m happy you created this film!
@@George-Thompsonamen brother, I just discovered this lovely video on a cold early winter morning in Indiana (US) and really needed to hear this message today. I've been so discouraged and disheartened about our recent US elections and all the chaos and discord that's happening in America... I'm 65 years old now and recently retired but it feels like I'm lost without a purpose. Thanks for reminding me to stop, and breathe, and release the worries that have been clouding my mind lately. There's a Tai Chi class at my community center that I've tried a couple of times but didn't stick with it, gonna go there on Sunday morning and try it again 🙏❤️
I needed this so much right now... its moved me to tears, to deal with very sad very hard family situation with kindness and compassion. The world needs more George Thompsons, although there is only you... you have such a way with words for such a young man. Congratulations, you are amazing. Keep gifting to us please and changing the world for the better.
George! Such a wonderful film. Such hard work, both on foot and in production. What a fantastic achievement for you. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing yourself in this way. Be the change you seek; surely, you're living that sentiment. Big love, Kate. ❤
Love this man! Such a gift to be able to explain such complex concepts, ancient philosophy’s and timeless wisdom in a simple and digestible manner. Celebrating you for this masterpiece 🙌💜
This is a fantastic film, George. Spreading these crucial messages aside, and the fact that you're a great writer and director, you're also a really fab presenter. Thank you for leading this movement towards peace and understanding. xxxxx
Thank you, George! This is a beautiful and very well-made film. I am a Tai Chi instructor in the United States, and I definitely will be recommending this to the participants in my classes! In the modern world, we over-think and over-complicate things to the point that we have difficulty grasping such basic concepts. You did an amazing job of illustrating these ideas and bringing us back to the basics without judgement. I loved the exercises in sensation and meditation as well; and I'm glad that instead of continuing the documentary only in "presentation mode", you took some time to sit and practice them together with us.
"Wisdom is when we channel what happens in our lives towards the purposes that serve harmony and peace." "We have the power to choose a story that empowers us." Powerful 🙏 I'll happily rewatch this a few more times.
That was one of the best, if not the best, movie that I've ever seen in my life. It shows us what is really important in life. I was stunned, that you’ve broken all that knowledge down so good into an one hour film. That video deserves millions of views and should be shown on TV. Thanks a lot George, I will follow you from now on!
Thank you George. You have put this together beautifully to spread peace and love into our world.. May all who see this be inspired to also become ambassadors of peace. 🕊️🕊️🕊️
George, I started watching your videos a few years ago. I'm so glad and impressed that you took your uncertainty and sense of, perhaps, feeling alienated from elements of the life you'd always known, and began to explore and share what you've discovered, documenting your journey. You're a young man and I'm a woman in my 60's, but our preoccupations are very similar (of course it will all be a little different for different people).You've taken the path less chosen, and I hope you never give up on it, and I'm glad you've made this film. Two thoughts so far as I watch this: the bit in Genesis about God telling humans that they had dominion over the earth and all its creatures was one of the most harmful few lines ever put down on paper (or parchment, or whatever it was!). The idea that only humans are made in "God's image" is sheer hubris--as an ant in an ant colony must perhaps feel that IT and its companions, as they build and survive in their own impressively "designed" colonies, are the center of whatever is around them. We are not superior to them--just different--and we are all part of the Divine, and the Divine is part of all of us. Also, regarding "enlightenment," I've come to believe that the sign of someone who is truly enlightened is their saying, "I have absolutely no idea."
I believe this ”dominion” line is a complete mistranslation of what should actually be ”guardianship” or ”stewardship”. It has been twisted into ”we can do whatever we want because we are kings of the world” when it’s actually supposed to be ”we are responsible to care for and protect the world and its inhabitants”.
Superb offering, George! The world needs these messages more than ever, not only your words, but embodied in your life and who you are. Also, of course, that illusory "self" that you've lost (at times) is to be thanked! Peace & Namaste, Bruce P. Grether
Thank you George, for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate that you have given up your own time to do this as we never know how much time we have left. We can’t buy more time but we can use our time better, by helping others and ourselves. Time and attention is the greatest gift we can give to others. To understand what is going on in our heads,is just our thoughts and we have the power to change the way we think about our world. I know this is difficult through my own experiences but as you said we can’t climb the mountain without taking the first steps and building resilience. I love getting out into nature as I feel it helps me ,escape and disconnect from my negative thoughts ( I live in Scotland, so thank you also for showcasing this wonderful country) during this time of year I feel like I struggle because of the long dark days and the weather. I will try to use this video for inspiration and try to connect more with myself, others and nature.
Beautiful content and audiovisuals. Great and meaningful script! I'll remember the "each ball is a thought" part with the calmed water behind. Very didactic. So true. Thank you!
Absolutely love this George. It resonates with me in so many ways. I’ve been struggling for more than a decade now to find my peace and self respect. 🙏🏻 😊Thank you.
Wow George! I've been struggling with those quesrtons for so long. The paradox between being inpeace and joyful but seeing the injustices, the evil, the famine , etc and sometimes I just try to deny them or not look at them, because they hurt. And now I find this documentary so insightful , it has answered so many quesrtons and gave me hope that I can be part of a positive change. Thank You sooooo much, George, really, I could feeling your love and peace in the meditation. Thanks for being the change we want to SEE in the world💫💚💛🧡🧡🙏🙏🙏
Fabulous! Thank you!. i actually did the meditation with you @ the 34 min. mark, and wow! It's been so long. It felt like creating that "space" in my mind simultaneously allowed worries to leave my mind and contentment to enter. Some of my most treasured memories as a child is of lying on my back in a quiet field just listening to the wind in the trees and watching the clouds in the sky. Not thinking, just being. A completely joyful experience. We didn't call it meditation back then, it was just being a kid.
Beautiful movie with an inspirational message that positive change is still possible through awareness. Sometimes i think that it’s too late, but you have rekindled my Hope for humanity. Thank you for this. Peace.
Just wanted to say hiw fantastic this film was. Not only the visuals but the simplistic way in which you seem to explain everything that is in my soul. It truly blew me away. This should be part of the curriculum in schools. Thank you for your passion and for the team of only 19 people that made this happen. You are truly touching lives and the universe is definitely working its magic through you. ❤
Bravo George! 👏👏👏I've been following your channel since the beginning and it's been awesome to watch you grow. This film sums it up very well, great story telling and cinematography. And Truth.
You've reminded me to apply my awareness to catch my thoughts on 'finding myself' and noticing how it feels to say 'lose my self' instead. So far I recognize a broadening of perspective in my mind, which feels like weight off my shoulders, quite literally, in my body. Thank you deeply to all the beings involved in to creation of this film and to those dedicating self-reflection energy after watching it 🙏
I decided to pour my energy into social work. It is difficult to sit with people in their pain and confusion which often mirrors my own but I have so much hope and I remind myself that we are so much more than ugly narratives and shortcomings. We are human beings all figuring it out as we go along and we all require patience, compassion and a listening ear. This was an awesome film woooooo :D
George... you made me cry... I totally understand and know that all what you said is true... And since some years now I am trying to perform simple meditations. And they do help. They help immensly. Hugs from Romania!!!
What a lovely tying up of so many seemingly unconnected dots! Your journey from your own difficult questions have guided you to a journey you took not only for yourself, but so many of us! 🙏🏽 Thanks George 🙏🏽
- Yes! I feel that we are tangled at this awarness , that you vídeo talk about ! It is happenig beyond analitical mind. Even knowing that the algoritm put your vídeo to me, it transcend all of that. I fell that the level of wisdom, is growing beyond the work of leaders like you , and other wise men , from diferent ages before! Congratulations to push me in those troughts today. Thank you!
This is truly beautiful, thank you so much for creating guidance. I have lost myself (again) lately, and have been trying to re-connect. This video was so inspiring, such an energy boost. Thank you George, perhaps see you one day.
This video blew me away. The way it's presented with personality showing through. The beauty of the editing and cinematography was top notch. Then of course the beautiful message contained within. Thank you for creating, and sharing.
Thankyou, George, for this lovely film. It comes at a time of considerable change, for me as well as the planet - I am embarking on a new regime of healing, (at 88, would you believe?), which includes Wuji Qigong, and will include Sun or Chen style Taichi. Your film, (and your life), offers me an example and an inspiration. Thankyou.
George, this is a brilliant film and it truly put me at peace and balance with myself and the world. I love the feeling and I will share with my friends. Balance is possible and it starts with each one of us. I admire your wisdom at such a young age. Much love to you and all of you sharing this space ❤❤❤
I’ve been on an intensive spiritual journey for over 25 years. This is the best guided meditation I remember. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Thank you so very much😊. The entire video has enriched my soul. A wonderful new year to you. ❤
SO MUCH HEALING BEING DONE WITH THIS FILM. SIMPLY REVEALING THE NATURE THATS BEEN UNDER, IN, AND ABOVE OUR NOSES THE WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE PLANT BEFORE DURING AND AFTER ITS BEEN BORN FOR LACK OF OTHER WORDS
I can’t put into words how grateful I am for this film and the love it conveys. It’s absolutely beautiful ❤you and your team have done an incredible job.
This documentary is so well constructed George. It's thought provoking, interactive, peaceful, wonder-filled, and joyful. Thank you! In particular I loved the invitation you present to engage in the ideas during the film - more of this is so needed in films/online content. Well done to you and your team, love it.
Thanks for this. I appreciate hearing this told differently than I normally think of it. This video also helped me realize where I’ve been getting hung up recently. Thanks! 😊
Dear George ❤I’m so grateful for that wonderful film you brought us - I enjoyed every image and sound - I’m inspired by your art of telling g the story
Congratulations George on your new film! You are insprational and an example that one can take a challenging situation and transmute it to an adventure filled life, helping others and subtly lose onself.
George - this is gold what you've done here. really enjoyed this, and felt moved to a better plane, after watching ; thank you for this spiritual sign post, pointing in the direction I truly want to go in, even if sometimes I lose my way.
thank you for these reminders. loved the analogies with the velcro ball hat 💭, the flashlight 🙏, the valleys and our inner mountain-view 🏞️. the release of tension and the slow breathing as well was very calming for me. beautiful video broken down wonderfully. makes it clear that appreciating the ever-changing nature of all brings peace. 🕊️
Thank you George for the video; I got mixed up with the time because I thought it was at 3:45 pm rather than 3 pm then I realized that the Q&A session was at 3:45 pm but no matter I was able to watch the recording & I enjoyed it very much. The whole video was very educational.
You are right, George, for in the tender centre of our precious being, within our truest of hearts, we are in peace, free and creative, wise and forever connected. I really like your film. We are One.🙏☺️
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! The respect you demonstrate for varying opinions from the scientific to the religous while bringing them together to produce your story was indeed amazing.
GEORGE THIS IS THE GREATEST FILM PLEASE SEE THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS A WAVE OF REFRESHING WATER OVER MANY GALAXIES INCLUDING OURS. FROM ON BROTHER OF THE DAO TO ANOTHER YOU ARE PEACE!

THIS DESERVES TO BE IN SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD AND TRUST ME IM CHILLIN IM JUST WRITING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS HUMAN DESERVES ALL THE CREDIT
An abolutely outstanding documentary George. This should be shown on prime time national television.
I am 74 and have been guided to this film to learn this so far: I can add the practice Tai Chi to strengthen myself.
Yes I'm 65 years old now and just learning Tai Chi at my local community center 🙏❤️
Lucky you I don’t think i’ll make it to 31 i’m despised by everyone and have endured 7 years of the worst torture known to man still bemused as to what I could have possibly done to warrant such brutality. I guess the answer to that is not unaliving myself sooner
Me too😊
SOOOO many good things could be said about this video, but only two words come out from the bottom of my heart : THANK YOU !
Wow, thank you so much for your beautiful words! Sending warmth. 🙏
I see your heart dear brother, touching to behold and such a gift to this ailing planet.

Wow. This is absolutely fabulous George. Incredible. Beautiful, inspiring and life affirming.
Thank you for your heartfelt words! I’m so glad it resonated with you. 🙏
Thank you George, for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate that you have given up your own time to do this as we never know how much time we have left. We can’t buy more time but we can use our time better, by helping others and ourselves. Time and attention is the greatest gift we can give to others. To understand what is going on in our heads,is just our thoughts and we have the power to change the way we think about our world. I know this is difficult through my own experiences but as you said we can’t climb the mountain without taking the first steps and building resilience. I love getting out into nature as I feel it helps me ,escape and disconnect from my negative thoughts ( I live in Scotland, so thank you also for showcasing this wonderful country) during this time of year I feel like I struggle because of the long dark days and the weather. I will try to use this video for inspiration and try to connect more with myself, others and nature.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt reflections. Your awareness and commitment to growth are inspiring. Grateful to walk this journey with you. 🌿
This is finally on TH-cam! Let's go, I can watch and enjoy. Thanks so much, George.
Beautiful content and audiovisuals. Great and meaningful script! I'll remember the "each ball is a thought" part with the calmed water behind. Very didactic. So true. Thank you!
Brilliant❤ I am proud to be a part of this beautiful movement, and am grateful to have someone like you around in our world today. Thank you, George x
Absolutely love this George. It resonates with me in so many ways. I’ve been struggling for more than a decade now to find my peace and self respect. 🙏🏻 😊Thank you.
Thank you for finding your gift and giving it away ❤
Thank you for sharing your wisdom in a beautiful way. With love & gratitude, may we all continue to shine our light Vee 🪷
Wow George! I've been struggling with those quesrtons for so long. The paradox between being inpeace and joyful but seeing the injustices, the evil, the famine , etc and sometimes I just try to deny them or not look at them, because they hurt. And now I find this documentary so insightful , it has answered so many quesrtons and gave me hope that I can be part of a positive change. Thank You sooooo much, George, really, I could feeling your love and peace in the meditation. Thanks for being the change we want to SEE in the world💫💚💛🧡🧡🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your beautiful words and open heart. 🙏
Fabulous! Thank you!. i actually did the meditation with you @ the 34 min. mark, and wow! It's been so long. It felt like creating that "space" in my mind simultaneously allowed worries to leave my mind and contentment to enter. Some of my most treasured memories as a child is of lying on my back in a quiet field just listening to the wind in the trees and watching the clouds in the sky. Not thinking, just being. A completely joyful experience. We didn't call it meditation back then, it was just being a kid.
Mindful Peace and Love from Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦 🙏

This was an amazing watch! Very honoured to be a part of it
Beautiful movie with an inspirational message that positive change is still possible through awareness. Sometimes i think that it’s too late, but you have rekindled my Hope for humanity. Thank you for this. Peace.
Just wanted to say hiw fantastic this film was. Not only the visuals but the simplistic way in which you seem to explain everything that is in my soul. It truly blew me away. This should be part of the curriculum in schools. Thank you for your passion and for the team of only 19 people that made this happen. You are truly touching lives and the universe is definitely working its magic through you. ❤
Beautiful film George. I heard it being reviewed on Radio Scotland a few weeks ago. Fantastic to hear you reaching a wider audience ❤
Many thanks Kathryn!
What a beautiful documentary. Thank you George and community for making it possible. Fantastically written and directed.
Bravo George! 👏👏👏I've been following your channel since the beginning and it's been awesome to watch you grow. This film sums it up very well, great story telling and cinematography. And Truth.
You've reminded me to apply my awareness to catch my thoughts on 'finding myself' and noticing how it feels to say 'lose my self' instead. So far I recognize a broadening of perspective in my mind, which feels like weight off my shoulders, quite literally, in my body.
Thank you deeply to all the beings involved in to creation of this film and to those dedicating self-reflection energy after watching it 🙏
Thank you a lot, this film has really encouraged me. A small group can make a change
Absolutely!
I decided to pour my energy into social work. It is difficult to sit with people in their pain and confusion which often mirrors my own but I have so much hope and I remind myself that we are so much more than ugly narratives and shortcomings. We are human beings all figuring it out as we go along and we all require patience, compassion and a listening ear. This was an awesome film woooooo :D
the more I listen to nature the more it talks to me . beautiful film thank you and thank you for you❤
Beautiful film George 😍 Thank you so much for this wonderful gift to us all. Much love ❤
George... you made me cry... I totally understand and know that all what you said is true... And since some years now I am trying to perform simple meditations. And they do help. They help immensly. Hugs from Romania!!!
This is a truly beautiful film with an inspiring and uplifting message. Thank you for sharing it here.
What a lovely tying up of so many seemingly unconnected dots! Your journey from your own difficult questions have guided you to a journey you took not only for yourself, but so many of us! 🙏🏽 Thanks George 🙏🏽

Glad it resonated with you! Wishing you peace and joy on your journey! 🙏
Thank you for this. It brought me so much joy just watching this
Thankyou, George, for this lovely film. It comes at a time of considerable change, for me as well as the planet - I am embarking on a new regime of healing, (at 88, would you believe?), which includes Wuji Qigong, and will include Sun or Chen style Taichi. Your film, (and your life), offers me an example and an inspiration.
Thankyou.
It’s amazing to hear about your healing journey at 88-that’s truly inspiring! I’m glad the film resonated with you! 🙏💜
Beautiful Film George🙏
George, this is a brilliant film and it truly put me at peace and balance with myself and the world.
I love the feeling and I will share with my friends. Balance is possible and it starts with each one of us. I admire your wisdom at such a young age. Much love to you and all of you sharing this space ❤❤❤
Amazing work George. Thanks for producing this beautiful film

This documentary is so well constructed George. It's thought provoking, interactive, peaceful, wonder-filled, and joyful. Thank you! In particular I loved the invitation you present to engage in the ideas during the film - more of this is so needed in films/online content. Well done to you and your team, love it.
Thank you George! Very beautifully done. I’m sure your simple message of losing yourself will catch on.
Thanks for this. I appreciate hearing this told differently than I normally think of it. This video also helped me realize where I’ve been getting hung up recently.
Thanks! 😊
Dear George ❤I’m so grateful for that wonderful film you brought us - I enjoyed every image and sound - I’m inspired by your art of telling g the story

You are insprational and an example that one can take a challenging situation and transmute it to an adventure filled life, helping others and subtly lose onself.
Grateful to be on this journey and to share it with. 🙏
George - this is gold what you've done here. really enjoyed this, and felt moved to a better plane, after watching ; thank you for this spiritual sign post, pointing in the direction I truly want to go in, even if sometimes I lose my way.
thank you for these reminders. loved the analogies with the velcro ball hat 💭, the flashlight 🙏, the valleys and our inner mountain-view 🏞️. the release of tension and the slow breathing as well was very calming for me. beautiful video broken down wonderfully. makes it clear that appreciating the ever-changing nature of all brings peace. 🕊️
Thank you so much for giving your energy to this film and sharing it to the world George!
Beautiful. Thank you 🙏
Amazing can’t wait to share this with my family and frienda
Thank you George for the video; I got mixed up with the time because I thought it was at 3:45 pm rather than 3 pm then I realized that the Q&A session was at 3:45 pm but no matter I was able to watch the recording & I enjoyed it very much. The whole video was very educational.
You are right, George, for in the tender centre of our precious being, within our truest of hearts, we are in peace, free and creative, wise and forever connected. I really like your film. We are One.🙏☺️
Grateful to walk this journey alongside you. Much love 🙏
