A Question to Hold Perpetually Close
I made this 4-minute film a few years ago for a movement within Hollywood seeking to change Hollywood and provoke a conscious lighting strike to the system from within the system. It opened the conference in a theater on Hollywood Boulevard with Jim Carrey, Eckhart Tolle, John Raatz, and many more.
This film was based on a poem I wrote in contribution to the purpose of the movement and was based on one singularly provocative question, a question that seems even more relevant today. A question you might do well to hold perpetually close …
For Anyone Who Has Ever Considered Sitting In Front Of This Camera
These few minutes are for anyone who has ever considered sitting in front of the Soul Biographies Camera.
Patti Digh’s first book was entitled ‘Life is a Verb’. Many people read it. It may have started a movement. She had for many years intended to come to one of the Soul Biographies Inner View Programs. These few minutes articulate some of what happened when she did.
It is for those who have been underground. It is for those seeking a coming out …
On Cancer, Death Valley and A Bicycle
In October I filmed Robert Vogel at an Inner View Program. It was extraordinary. As many viewers have given testament to. I put the entire footage up, raw. You can see ‘A Thousand Moments’ without a password for the rest of this week.
“I am alive. I am pain-free. And I am loved.”
Robert has brain cancer but has found a way to keep it at bay. Vast amounts of hard physical exercise. Many hours a day. Much on a bicycle. Cycling often through the night into the early hours through dawn.
Now he has decided to ride for charity through Death Valley. You can sponsor him. But you’d have to do it today …
The Soul Of Your Work On Film

The objective will be to capture the essence of a participant’s work on film using the Inner View Method. Filming all day, with a full process involving multiple visits to the camera.

Seeing Us As I See The Natural World
So many of us are able to remain still enough to absorb the magnificence of the natural world. To recognize the interconnectedness of it all.
Without need, and without opinion.
So how is it so remarkably challenging to sit and pay unbridled attention in similar fashion to each other. The interconnectedness of us all.

Somebody Else’s Map. Somebody Else’s Markings
‘… you think you have a map in your hand that’s going to guide you to where you need to go. And as you walk along you realize the map you’re holding isn’t helping. It’s somebody else’s map. It’s somebody else’s markings on it.’
Two minutes on film, and the sense of an Interior Journey on Camera …
Articulating What Cannot Quite Be Said
Here is a note I recently sent to a the most recent Inner View Method Program Cohort.
Dear All, so this work as you know is a challenge to describe using the realm of words. What did you say when someone asked where had you been, and what had you done? …
Heaven From Hell

she could tell

A Few Magnificent Clues As To How To Be Present To Another
To some this may remain forever bewildering. To others it might make clear an important step on the way to surrender. This is taken from a recent Masterclass Webinar entitled ‘Beyond Marketing for Coaches’. But if you are not on the coaching spectrum do not be put off. It holds relevance to anyone who longs to be more present to another.

What Was Revealed in Dallas
There is this field. The field is the very atmosphere in which I film. It elicits something different in nature. And in Dallas, I sat in this field. This time, in front of the camera. And this is what happened.
This film will play just for this week …
Constellations Film
This film has been described as mysterious. And to be honest it is. As is Constellations work. As is the way I film. As is life itself. Whether we choose to recognize it, or not …
The Man in the Cottage
There was a man who lived in a cottage. He came to a day course I once did, and said ‘I’ve had a lovely day out’. The words were not entirely true. The next time I was in England I felt compelled to drive half the length of the country with my camera. This is the result. Fair warning – this is way out there …

The Most Unusual Game of Walkabout
There was a time where I was almost between Worlds. The Business World and the World that would come. But a World I didn’t know existed. And I made a game up. In retrospect it drew my notice to something that would define the way of Soul Biographies. The way of so much that I now experience. Last week I sat in front of the camera, and recounted the experience of this game …
109 Seconds Concerning the Point of the Films
‘… the idea of doing this (Soul Biographies) just turned up one day. There was no thinking it through. It was one of those intuitive ideas that exists in the realm of knowing. I knew I have to do this. But I have no idea why, how or in service of what.’ 2 Minute Film …

The US Congress Should Pay Attention to Evelyn
On this particular day, I imagine US Leadership might do well to listen to these few minutes of Evelyn, 98.
#HouseOfRepresentatives #Senate #USCongress
‘I have been so fortunate in my 98 years but now I look at my country and I’m almost ashamed that we let such hypocrites make decisions for the masses of people who are good. But I am here for something. I am not ready to go. What an opportunity a human life is.’

Might the Conflict Series have been a Forerunner to the Soul of America
It was pointed out by more than one viewer that the new SOUL OF AMERICA Project had a forerunner. Or so they said – the Klamath Human Conflict Series I made a few years ago. In some sense, those viewers may have a point. Here is the trailer for that Series. It should give you a sense of the tone of voice …
