Inner Worlds, a documentary by Canadian film maker, musician and meditation teacher Daniel Schmidt, is an exploration of the power of inner worlds. It is a journey into the depths of one’s being that transcends traditional thought patterns and encourages viewers to venture beyond the everyday limits of their own minds.
The documentary begins with an exploration of Akasha – the unmanifested, the “nothing” or emptiness which fills the vacuum of space. This concept was explored by great thinkers such as Einstein who realized that empty space isn’t really empty – rather, it is filled with unknown potential and power. In Inner Worlds, this concept is taken further as Daniel Schmidt guides viewers through his own experiences in meditation.
The film also introduces us to the Spiral – a concept hinted at by Pythagorean philosopher Plato who believed there was a golden key that unified all mysteries of the universe. This key is explained in Inner Worlds as being the intelligence of logos, or source of primordial om; sometimes referred to as ‘the mind of God’. This divine symmetry forms the basis for human understanding and connection to our inner worlds.
In order to explain this further, Schmidt uses the Serpent and Lotus imagery – representing respectively downward and upward spiritual currents – reminding us that we are capable of becoming bridges between outer and inner realities.
Ultimately, Inner Worlds reminds its viewers that true happiness cannot be bought like a cheap suit but only achieved through deep introspection into our consciousness – something this documentary helps us achieve if we are willing to take on its challenge! If you’re looking for an insightful journey into your inner world then look no further than Inner Worlds – an inspiring documentary which will leave you with plenty food for thought!
