Entheogenesis: Awakening the Divine Within
Entheogen

A feature length documentary which invites the viewer to rediscover an enchanted cosmos in the modern world by awakening to the divine within. The film examines the re-emergence of archaic techniques of ecstacy in the modern world by weaving a synthesis of ecological and evolutionary awareness, electronic dance culture, and the current pharmacological re-evaluation of entheogenic compounds. Within a narrative framework that imagines consciousness itself to be evolving, Entheogen documents the emergence of techno-shamanism in the post-modern world that frames the following questions: How can a renewal of ancient initiatory rites of passage alleviate our ecological crisis? What do trance dancing and festivals celebrating unbridled artistic expression speak to in our collective psyche? How do we re-invent ourselves in a disenchanted world from which God has long ago withdrawn? Entheogen invites the viewer to consider that the answers to these questions lie within the consciousness of each and every human being, and are accessible if only we give ourselves permission to awaken to the divine within.

Stan Grof, Marilyn Schlitz, Ralph Metzner, Alex Grey, Terrence McKenna, John Markoff, Daniel Pinchbeck, and Kat Harrison among others, postulate how the disenchantment of the modern world may be remedied by summoning the courage to take the next leap in the evolution of planetary consciousness.

Crossing the Event Horizon - Rise to the Equation
by Nassim Haramein

Crossing the Event HorizonQuantum Scientist, Nassim Haramein shows us that his new all-encompassing theory seems to have parallels with ancient codes left in the world’s oldest documents and monuments. These include the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, the I Ching, the Mayan Tzolkn, and the ancient pyramids and temples around the world. Much like the path taken by Isaac Newton, Haramein’s theory was influenced by his exhaustive study of ancient civilizations, which revealed that they already possessed this knowledge and used it to NAssim Harameinaccomplish many unexplained feats — such as building the Pyramids and constructing Stonehenge. Haramein’s work has far-reaching implications for all fields of scientific enquiry from theoretical physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, geology and chemistry, archaeology and anthropology as well as fundamental answers to the nature of consciousness. “Rise to the Equation” offers a radically new scientific paradigm and view of the universe — and your existence in it.

Star Dreams – Exploring the mystery of crop circles

Star Dreams ~ Exploring the World of Crop Circles

An award winning documentary which explores the phenomena of crop circles with interviews by leading crop circle researchers. The film investigates the over-all assumption of hoaxing, balls of light, sacred site connections, media response and people’s reaction to the phenomena, and outlines the basic understandings arrived at so far. A truly amazing film that includes images of the major crop circles, interviews with top researchers and a narrative line dealing with the mystical aspects of the phenomenon.
