If you have a golf ball size consciousness when you read a book you will have a golf ball size understanding
When you look out you have a golf ball size awareness
When you wake up in the morning you experience a golf ball size wakefulness
If you could expand that consciousness then you gain more understanding from reading the book
More awareness when you look out
More wakefulness when you wake up
It is consciousness
There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us
It lies right at the source and base of mind
Also at the source of thought
It is at the source of all matter as well
A technique called Transcendental Meditation teaches us
This is a simple easy effortless technique yet supremely profound
It allows any human being to dive within experiencing subtle levels of mind and intellect
To transcend and experience this ocean of pure consciousness
This pure consciousness is known in modern physics as the unified field
It is at the base of all mind and all matter
Modern science states that all of matter everything that is a thing emerges from this field
This field possesses qualities like bliss intelligence creativity universal love energy peace
It is not about intellectually understanding this field but experiencing it
By diving within and transcending you experience this field of pure consciousness and enlighten it
It unfolds and grows
The final outcome of this growth of consciousness is called enlightenment
Enlightenment represents the full potential of all human beings
Enlivening this consciousness causes negativity to recede
When I started meditating I was filled with anxieties and fears
I was dealing with depression and anger
I expressed this anger towards my first wife
After two weeks of meditation she noticed a change and inquired about it
I pondered because it could have been any number of things
But I responded inquiring what she meant
She asked about the disappearance of my anger
I had not realized it had lifted
Negative emotions like anger depression and sorrows are beautiful in a story
However they act like poison to a filmmaker
To a painter they are detrimental to creativity
They constrain like a vice grip
Being deeply depressed you can barely get out of bed let alone be creative
Cultivating beautiful consciousness is beneficial as it enhances creativity
It deepens the ability to catch ideas
Intuition expands
This field is a field of pure knowingness
You dive into it
You just know the way to go
You find solutions
You can feel this growth
But the ultimate for me is the enjoyment of the doing
Enjoyment of life expands greatly
I love making films now more than ever
Ideas flow more freely
Everyone has more fun on the set
Creativity is enhanced
People seem like friends not enemies
It is a beautiful beautiful thing
And it is us
