It's funny when you get started thinking about something, things that are associated with it start showing up in the world. Kinda like when you get a new car, you suddenly start noticing that same car everywhere.
Well, just as I was talking about the false notion of 'separation' in yesterday's post, I came across this movie that is saying that our weird idea that we are separate from each other and our world is actually what is wrong with it.
“It is one light which beams out of a thousand stars. It is one soul which animates all men.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
The guy who made the film also had a great quote at the end, "We started [the film] by asking what's wrong with the world and we ended up discovering what's right with it"
The filmmaker is Tom Shadyac. He made millions of dollars making films like "Ace Ventura" and "Bruce Almighty." He gave up all of his riches and now lives in a trailer park. Albeit a nice trailer park, but nonetheless! It's a really cool movie. I was able to watch it on-demand for $8. It's coming out on DVD next month and maybe in some theaters.
