It's been a couple of years since I first saw this film. It opened a door to possibilities I would never accept to even consider. Now, I thank you for this. It truly did inspire me (a hard atheist at the time) to begin a spiritual journey. Through that journey, I at some point got to experience Samadhi. In no way have I finished the journey, as it is not the point. But I do know I now live a better life, not in spite of suffering, but because I accept and welcome it. Not only that. But it has helped me helped others around me, and to be more loving. I see it as my purpose now, to inspire as many as possible to do their own journey as well. Like you have done.

Good...
RosanaBotafogo30 May 2021
This film is very complex and reflective, finally I still don't know how to find my samadhi, too deep to capture, too intense for me to understand, demands a lot from the sensitive's unconscious plus a necessary film to stop, breathe, think, and act...
Good for ego's to start with
gekkepoppetje10 June 2021
Imagine the world where there aren't that many movies being made because people don't need the distraction because they don't know escapism. The movies that would be made would consist of 98% treatises on how to be totally free. If a movie were produced where people kill each other, most people would react with amazement and disgust.
Because the collective consciousness has not yet reached that stage, it is unfortunately exactly the other way around: 98% of the films are about people who are in conflict or shoot each other because all unseen egos like to watch violence. When a few movie productions appear that do deal with consciousness, they are of course mocked by the ego's because if there is one thing the ego fears, it is that it will be discovered. Some of the comments here are living proof of that.
Samadhi is a sequence of universal truths from various religious disciplines. The movie does not zoom in anywhere and therefore remains too general to really lead to an expansion of consciousness. Also the voice over may be too monotonous to carry throughout the film.
Nevertheless, Samadhi is made with love and guts and presents a wonderful opportunity to delve into ancient wisdom. It contains beautiful texts and animations and the movie can be a good first reason to look inward. A nice first opportunity for the ego to discover itself.

PUSHES YOUR BEING-NESS TO A HIGHER PROSPECTIVE
lisakcorcoran9 December 2018
This DVD and Part 2 as well were fantastically and beautifully created. Judging this series, one way or the other, is really NOT where you want to be on your path. I will only say that you will know that this series if 'for you' or 'not for you' when you watch it. For my husband and I, we ABSOLUTELY found that it was the 'right' time for us to observe these and the art, thoughts expressed and ancient spiritual thought processes reminded us of who we truly are, why we are truly here and the 'work' we still need to focus on within ourselves. Highly recommend these DVD's for those who are seeking alternative possibilities other than what we are taught from birth as to our existence. You know who you are.
Advaita non-dualism explained beautifully!
rishiraj-7435121 September 2021
This is the movie to watch if in your current spiritual level, non-dualism makes sense. You will find many reviewers giving a negative review, that's because they were not ready for the movie - as yet. I often come back to watch this again, when I want to see something which nutures the soul. Lovely movie and kudos to the maker!
The best of the best.

Worth a second watch

Warning: Spoilers
First time watching this, but I think it worths another watch.
Some notes I've taken and worth reflecting on: --more human doing, as opposed to human being I totally can relate to this, there's a certain period in my life I feel like I must be doing something all the time. And if I just sit and relax on my own, I feel empty.
--it's not that you're in the prison, you are the prison.. the prison is an illusion. Awakening is not about getting rid of the mind or the matrix; instead, when you're not identified with it, then you can experience the play of life more fully, enjoying the show as it is --drop resistance.

It's okay
vanessakelly9919 May 2021
I get the purpose of wanting a better understanding of life and of who we are, but no one, including the director/writer of this movie, owns the truth. It's a perspective, a collection of books, religions, movies and thoughts that he is putting together. Some things said are unfounded, such as hunger in the world is increasing. It's actually decreasing. In that sense we are better off today than we were hundreds of years ago. The tone of voice tries to be persuasive, tries to put you into a meditative state but instead comes out as annoying. Overall I give it a 6/10 because there are some thoughts that are worth exploring.
Should not be called documentary, it's a video.
Sexy-scientist24 July 2018
To be called a documentary, you must only present facts/truth backed by evidence. It is lacking in this movie. Meaning of samadhi is tried to be explained using analogies, but it failed terribly. Most of the facts presented are distorted. Sometimes, they are plain wrong. Pacing of the voiceover is kept slow to give a pseudo sense that the things being told are deep and you will take time to understand. Video seemed pushed. It looked like they recorded the audio first and then searched the Internet for images/footage which would fit the context.
So called spiritual movie
mihaibrad77711 June 2020
Only for brainwashed people who struggle to maintain beliefs from 5k years ago. The modern mind , the quantum physicist , will not find anything useful here. The movie is actually a paradox, born from the ego of one person - it pictures that perfectly . Even his voice exhales those egotistic patterns.
Stock footage
rcavdh15 June 2021
Stock footage with some new age music to give you something to be entertained by while the narrator tells you in all kinds of confusing ways how you should just stop sucking. Spiritual teaching is a scam and while you can reach a state of peace, it takes a lot of work to create the physical conditions to be able to enjoy such a state. Time is all you have, don't waste it.
