Awakening Mind Film Series

The Awakening Mind Films Series is a collaboration between Awakening Mind Films, LLC, the Awaken the World Initiative, and the Center for Awakening

The Origins of the Awakening Mind Films Series

Daniel Schmidt, Bill Free and Leif Heinbold met on the spiritual path and began a friendship and mutual interest for sharing truth and bringing this film series to fruition.

In a time of increased conflict and unrest in the world where many are experiencing fear, uncertainty and despair, the Awakening Mind Films documentary series travels the globe speaking to wisdom teachers, visionaries, and scientists from broad and diverse disciplines, philosophies, and traditions who are pointing with uncanny similarity and intelligence to this time as an epic juncture and an invitation to a higher evolution for humanity, and to the awakening of human consciousness.

Awaken the World has teamed up to bring you this revolutionary film series.

Awakening Mind Film
Part 1, “Know Thyself”

Awakening Mind explores the questions “who am I?”, “what is awakening?”, “why awaken?”, “what is consciousness?”, “how do I awaken?”, “what is the purpose and meaning of life?”, and “how am I to navigate this world experience to the best of my ability for the benefit of all?” In this time where the world feels out of control and filled with so much suffering and sadness, these questions are particularly relevant, and the answers are a lot simpler than one might imagine.

Part 2, “The Mind Unveiled”

This film expresses the “great forgetting” that occurs when we enter the human experience, obscuring the truth of who we truly are. The journey of realizing our true essential nature, the dual nature of ego and illusion, and the imprint of historical and cultural conceptions of the mind are examined through personal anecdotes and through the lens of the perennial teaching.

Part 3, “Liberation”

If Awakening is the end of seeking, then Liberation is the end of the seeker. Many on the path glimpse their true nature and experience what we call awakening… a moment when the veil lifts and the search collapses. But often, the subtle patterns of the seeker, the vasanas, the samskaras, the deep unconscious tendencies, continue to run quietly in the background.

The entire “Awakening Mind” documentary series is released for free for the benefit of humanity and the awakening of human consciousness (in as many languages as possible).
