Inner Worlds Outer Worlds….amazingly insightful documentary.

Are we are all connected?? If you don’t believe it, you just might after you watch this documentary. From the primordial big bang to the ubiquitous selfie our journey continues, yet the simplest essence most have forgotten or taken for granted. This documentary sums up the interconnectedness of us all. Watch all four segments. “One consciousness, one source….you are the U in universe.”

“Inner Worlds was created by Canadian film maker, musician and meditation teacher Daniel Schmidt. The film could be described as the external reflection of his own adventures in meditation. Daniel came to meditative insights, he realized that these same insights were discovered over and over in spiritual traditions around the world and that all traditions share a common mystical underpinning. He realized that it is this core experience that connects us not only to the mysterious source of all creation, but to each other as well.” – Inner Worlds Outer Worlds
