thank you very much it's good to be here in Boston
and thank you very much for coming here tonight hi
yup I teach film I make films I am
I would like to know am NOT a meditator
what does meditation can you say
anything about how meditation might
connects to your creative process or to the
might help the creative process at my students or
myself yes they can will you
ASA will yeah as
tonight stock is consciousness creativity in the brain
and and if you have a golf ball size consciousness
when you read a book you'll have a golf ball size
understanding when you look out a golf ball size
awareness and when you wake up in the morning a golf ball size
wakefulness but if you could expand that consciousness
then you read the book more understanding
you look out more awareness and when you wake up
more wakefulness its consciousness
and there's an ocean I've pure
vibrant consciousness inside each one of us
and it's right at the source
and base of mind right at the source of thought
and it's also with the source of all matter and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
teaches a technique called transcendental meditation
it's a simple easy effortless technique
yet supremely profound that allows
any human being to dive within
experiencing subtler levels of mind and
intellect and transcend and experience this ocean a pure
consciousness this pure consciousness
is called by modern physics the unified field
it's at the base of all mind and all matter
and they now say modern science says, all of matter
everything that is a thing emerges from this field
and this field has qualities like bliss
intelligence creativity universal love
energy peace and it's not the intellectual understanding at this field
but the experiencing a bit that does
everything you dive within
and transcending experiencing this field a pure consciousness
and UN live in it he won folded it grows
and the final outcome of this growth of consciousness
is called enlightenment and enlightenment is the full potential
up all of us human beings and a side effect
have been lining this consciousness is negativity
starts to reseed when I started meditating
I was filled with anxieties bill with fears
kind of it a depression and
anger and I took this anger out on my first wife
and after two weeks of meditation
she comes to me and she says what's going on and
I was quiet for a moment because it could have been any number of things
she might have been referring to I'm
I plan he said what do you mean and she said this anger
where did it go and I didn't even realize it had lifted
now these negative things like anger and depression
and sorrow there
beautiful things in a story but
there like a poison to the filmmaker
their poison to the painter their poison to creativity
they like a vice grip if you were super depressed
you can hardly get outta bed let alone think ideas have their creativity
flowing
so its money in the bank
to get that beautiful consciousness growing
which is flowing creativity the ability did catch ideas at a deeper level
intuition grows this field is a field a pure
knowing that's you dive in there you sort it doesn't know all
how to go you know how to solve solutions it's like an ocean up
solutions
and you you can just feel this thing growing
but the ultimate thing for me is
the enjoyment up the doing the enjoyment of life
grows huge I
love making films now more than ever before
ideas flow more everybody has more fun on the set
creativity flows there's no people look like friends
not like enemies it's a beautiful beautiful thing
and its ass in basic science this field a pure consciousness is called
at meh the self the self-service all
at that level as Doctor John Hagel would tell you it that level love life
we are all one where one
diver city appear unity down below
its it said %um it's a great thing
for the filmmaker thank you
i would i would like to have that glass of water if that's possible
okay this is Jay my friend and assistant
really good
it's not quite as good as pure consciousness but
really how you doing
up at good on my name's Alex Harvey M
meditating for a while I want to know
if there was a moment where you realize the effect that pure consciousness have
in your work
right from the very beginning and
and like I said I might have been am and
II think I had so many anxieties and fears
and I felt those lifting and
bliss is a thing in this field the Unified Field
bliss they say is the sweetest nectar
a flight bliss is
physical emotional mental spiritual happiness
and you can fine break with this bliss and it's this happiness
from with the N they say have a sane true happiness
isn't out there true happiness lies with them
and I always wondered where is this within and and they don't say where it
is
and then they don't even say how to get to it this is the beauty of this
technique
there's lotsa forms a meditation but with transcendental meditation
to me the key is the word transcend to die
all the way in it's a huge round
between the surface have life and this fundamental
pure consciousness but it's there and when you're
in it you know you're in it its familiar but it's you
and right away a happiness
but it's not like a goofball happiness its it
said it's a thick beauty it's a thick
beauty to appreciate life in living and Weiss
suffer suffering starts to go and people say we gotta have anger you gonna have
an edge
you know to create you gotta know what about anger
you gotta have energy gonna have clarity to create
you gonna be able to catch ideas you got to be able to be strong enough to fight
on believable pressure and stress in the whole thing in this world
that will lift because this whole thing is tied to world peace but
it's gonna be a better world but it's still a very tough world and this just
gives you
more and more and more ability to say it just looks beautiful
it's way way way way better and this happen right away
thank you you bet
