This non-profit film documentary intends to show how the current tasks and urgent problems, which humanity faces these days, could be overcome with the help of self-exploration as taught in the wisdom traditions.
This begins with a frank analysis of our current behavior - societal and individual. The root causes of our fixation on growth, competitive thinking, effectiveness and greed are outlined. Then it asks how far we are ready to question things and work on ourselves: to follow a path for individual transformation. For this the two main forms of self-exploration are described: On the one hand, the rational approach on the relative level of our human existence. Here, the matter is to understand oneself on the mental and emotional level and to realize that many of our thoughts and attitudes are habits, which prevent a clear view of reality. On the other hand, the non-rational exploration of the absolute aspect of our being plays a crucial role. Through meditative practice we can feel and experience our being beyond relative conditionality. These two forms of self-exploration support each other. If a real, deep and authentic transformation takes place, it can be integrated into life and community and true change happens.
In this film, eight contemporary wisdom teachers with different backgrounds have their say: Father Ama Samy, Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha, Claus M. H. Gatto, Jaya Ashmore, John David, Father Korko Moses, Revered Nun Triet Nhu and Vasanti Jayaswal. They show different aspects of self-exploration and its meaning for our age. Since the fundamental human constitution does not depend on the particular era, their statements are of timeless relevance. The film is made not only for searchers but for everyone.
