classroom ideal learned meditation techniques
What I like so very much about this meditation is that you can take what you've learned and go about your business, ... I can use those classroom techniques anywhere, which is ideal for me as a filmmaker.
becomes honest stay
If you stay true to your ideas, film-making becomes an inside-out, honest kind of process.
rocks suffering bliss
Mankind was not meant to suffer -- bliss is our nature. The individual is cosmic. Let's rock.
thinking imagination adults
We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.
ocean knowing intuition
You don't dive for specific solutions; you dive to enliven that ocean of consciousness. Then your intuition grows and you have a way of solving those problems-knowing when it's not quite right and knowing a way to make it feel correct for you. That capacity grows and things go much more smoothly.
important world strange
All my movies are about strange worlds that you can't go into unless you build them and film them. That's what's so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds.
talking two wife
In my case what happened is that within about two weeks of beginning meditation, the anger already started to go away. My wife came to me and said, "What's going on?" and I said, "What are you talking about?" To which she replied, "This anger, where did it go?" I didn't even realize that my anger had been going away.
selfish meditation world
Meditation is not a selfish thing. Even though you're diving in and experiencing the Self, you're not closing yourself off from the world. You're strengthening yourself, so that you can be more effective when you go back into the world.
absurdity-of-life absurdity bloody
Absurdity is what I like most in life.
zero feet negativity
They say the full potential of the human being is called enlightenment, which is infinite consciousness, infinite happiness, zero negativity, zero dying, complete freedom, total fulfillment, and being at one with everything. You can say it's God realization, or you can say you sit at the feet of the Lord as master of all you survey. You could say it's totality, total knowledge, and that you are that totality. This is every human being's birthright: to one day enjoy supreme enlightenment, unity. It's like the big graduation.
our-world goal creative
We want to generate the electricity of peace through music, and it’s a thrill to know that the super-creative, enthusiastic musicians of our world are with us to achieve this goal.
heads-or-tails intuition way
Life is filled with abstractions, and the only way to make heads or tails of it is going through intuition.
ocean meditation mind
Consciousness-Based Education is education that is in most ways exactly like regular education, but with the added technique of Transcendental Meditation. Transcendental Meditation, or TM as it's often referred to, allows students to dive in and experience the unbounded ocean of consciousness within each of us, the big treasury, the field within each of us that is the base of all matter and all mind. It's been found that transcending and experiencing that unbounded, eternal level of life does wonders for education, and for human beings.
littles significance knows
Many things happen that we don't know the significance of until a little bit later.
