다니엘 슈미트는 수상 경력에 빛나는 영화 《Inner Worlds Outer Worlds》와, 가이아(Gaia) 및 유튜브에서 방영 중이며 조회수 2,000만 회를 돌파한 《Samadhi》 영화 시리즈의 제작자입니다. 그는 2012년에 Awaken the World 이니셔티브를 설립하여 인류의 각성을 돕기 위해 30개 이상의 언어로 무료로 제공되는 영화와 자료를 제작하고 있습니다. 최근 그는 빌 프리(Bill Free) 및 라이프 하임볼드(Leif Heimbold)와 협력하여, 각성 및 해방 분야의 세계적 지도자들과의 인터뷰를 담은 다큐멘터리 형식의 수상 경력에 빛나는 3부작 《Awakening Mind》 시리즈를 제작했습니다.

캐나다 온타리오에 위치한 사마디 센터와 Awaken the World 이니셔티브는 다니엘이 자신의 내면 세계를 외부로 드러내기 위해 창설한 것입니다. 그가 추구하는 수련회 방식은 자기 성찰과 전통적인 명상 기법을 결합하여, 참가자들이 자신의 초월적인 본성을 깨닫는 동시에 조건화된 패턴을 정화함으로써, 인간의 그릇이 진정한 본성을 받아들일 수 있도록 하는 기회를 제공합니다. 

2023년에 다니엘은 7일간의 온라인 “나는 나다(I AM)” 명상 수련을 시작했으며, 이는 끊임없이 지속되는 사다나(sadhana) 형식으로, 기법으로 시작하여 참가자들을 진정한 사다나의 실천 없는 실천으로 이끌어 우리의 본래 성품을 직접적으로 인식하게 합니다. 그의 접근 방식은 자기 질문, 오랜 세월 이어져 온 명상 수행, 그리고 고대, 현대 또는 즉흥적으로 만들어진 것이든 환상을 해소하는 모든 것을 혼합합니다.

댄과의 인터뷰

In this episode, I’m joined by Daniel Schmidt, creator of the Samadhi film series and founder of Awaken the World. Daniel’s work has helped millions of people explore meditation, self-inquiry, awakening, and the deeper nature of consciousness. In this conversation, we go into healing, ego, surrender, trauma, and what it really means to walk a spiritual path in an honest way.<br /><br />One of the central themes of this episode is that awakening does not automatically erase old conditioning. Even after deep insight, the body and mind can still carry fear, resistance, habit, and emotional history. We talk about why the ego cannot truly surrender, why real healing is often much less comfortable than people expect, and how spiritual practice begins to change when it moves beyond ideas and becomes something lived.<br /><br />Daniel shares a perspective that feels both deep and grounded. Rather than talking about spirituality as an abstract concept, we explore what it means in real life — in the body, in the mind, in suffering, in discipline, and in the ongoing process of seeing through what is false. We also talk about self-limitation, how the old self tries to remain in control, and what real transformation asks of us.<br /><br />If you are interested in meditation, awakening, consciousness, healing, nonduality, self-inquiry, or the inner work of real spiritual growth, I think this conversation will give you a lot to reflect on.<br /><br />If there’s something you’d love for us to explore in a future conversation with Daniel, leave it in the comments.<br /><br />#moderntao #SpiritualGrowth #Mindfulness #EmotionalIntelligence 삼아디 영화 제작자: 치유, 에고, 그리고 각성에 관한 진실

삼아디 영화 제작자: 치유, 에고, 그리고 각성에 관한 진실

In this interview, Jimmy Wightman (That Meditation Guy) & Daniel Schmidt discuss: <br /><br />- What is an authentic awakening (kensho/Satori)<br />- What meditation techniques to do before & after awakening<br />- How meditation changes after awakening<br />- Common misconceptions along the path<br />- What is an Enlightenment Intensive <br />- Common pitfalls of awakening <br />- Their personal journey<br />- The spiritual journey: from surface to source <br /><br />This conversation represents the deep end of spirituality so here is a quick reference glossary of some terms that are used that you might not be familiar with: <br /><br />- Enlightenment Intensive retreat - A 4-day self inquiry retreat that involves contemplating the question "who am I" while sitting opposite a partner and making eye contact. The act of sitting with a partner and contemplating is known as a dyad. <br /><br />- Kensho - A Japanese Zen term meaning “seeing one’s true nature.” It refers to a direct experiential insight into the nature of self and reality — often described as a glimpse of awakening rather than full enlightenment. In many Zen traditions, kenshō is seen as an important opening or recognition that is then deepened and embodied through continued practice. <br /><br />- Five Skandhas (Aggregates) – The five components that make up human experience in Buddhism: form (body), feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. They are used to explore the nature of self and impermanence.<br /><br />Sādhana – A dedicated spiritual practice or discipline undertaken to cultivate growth, transformation, and realisation.<br />Vāsanās – Deep-seated tendencies, impressions, or habitual patterns that shape thoughts, emotions, and behaviour.<br /><br />Jhāna – Deep states of meditative absorption in Buddhist practice, marked by increasing stillness, concentration, and refinement of awareness.<br /><br />Savikalpa Samadhi – A profound meditative absorption in which awareness remains present with an object, experience, or sense of bliss; duality is reduced but not fully dissolved.<br /><br />Turiya – In Vedanta, the “fourth state” of consciousness beyond waking, dreaming, and deep sleep — pure awareness itself.<br /><br />Ox-Herding Pictures – A series of ten Zen images illustrating the practitioner’s journey from seeking truth to awakening and returning to everyday life with wisdom.<br /><br />Ramana Maharshi – Indian sage known for the practice of self-inquiry (“Who am I?”) as a path to awakening.<br /><br />Nisargadatta Maharaj – Advaita teacher who emphasised abiding as the sense of “I Am” and recognising one’s true nature beyond identity.<br /><br />Follow Dan: <br /><br />@AwakenTheWorldFilm <br />https://awakentheworld.com<br /> <br />Follow Jimmy: <br /><br />https://www.delvedeep.com<br />https://www.instagram.com/that_meditation_guy/<br /><br />Daniel Schmidt is known for the following documentaries: <br /><br />내면의 세계, 외면의 세계<br />Samadhi Parts 1-4<br />Awakening Mind parts 1-3<br /><br />I highly recommend checking these documentaries out. 각성: 구도의 끝 - 다니엘 슈미트 (삼디 필름)

The character can never awaken or become whole because the human experience is a game of separation (hide and seek). At a certain point in the game it is possible to awaken from the false character to recognize the primordial stillness/awareness that is ever- present. YOU were never in prison- it is only your fixation on thoughts and changing phenomena that has created maya, the illusion of the separate/false self. With a surrender of interest in the entire world of changing forms, and a willingness to move beyond your comfort zone (give up craving and aversion) it is possible to create the conditions for Samadhi to arise.<br /><br />0:00 Awakening is the Answer to All the World’s Problems<br />1:14 The Current World is the Culmination of Egoic Consciousness<br />2:25 Chapter 2: What is Awakening?<br />3:34 Chapter 3: What is the Benefit of Awakening?<br />5:30 My Personal Awakening Story at the Zen Center<br />7:41 Chapter 4: Who Awakens?<br />9:26 The Difference Between Awakened and Unawakened Experience<br />11:09 Chapter 5: What is Meditation?<br />13:15 Chapter 6: What is Self-Inquiry?<br />18:01 Your True Nature is Closer Than You Think<br />21:52 The Practices That Make Awakening More Likely<br />24:20 Chapter 7: The Direct Path vs. The Long Path (Developmental Path)<br />26:19 Why Purification Matters After Awakening<br />31:51 What Would the World Look Like if Most People Were Awakened? 다니엘 슈미트 인터뷰 – 명상, 자기 탐구, 깨달음의 길이 없는 길

Lilla works quietly behind the scenes of the Samadhi Center and Awaken the World projects, helping to hold together the many practical details that allow the work to reach people around the world.

Her path has moved through many forms – seeking, healing, inquiry, service – and increasingly toward a simple recognition: that what we are looking for is not elsewhere, and that the deepest truth is often found in the intimacy of what is already here.

Alongside her work with correspondence, online programs, retreats, and the day-to-day life of the projects, Lilla has become deeply involved in the creation of the Remembering the Self films. Her voice, sensitivity, and love of the ordinary and sacred have helped shape the films’ contemplative atmosphere, inviting the viewer not simply to understand something, but to slow down, feel, and recognize what is always present.

She has a particular love for the quiet places where words begin to fall away – meditation, self-inquiry, beauty, stillness, and the simple mystery of being.

Much of her work happens unseen: answering messages, supporting participants, helping ideas take form, and tending the human side of a growing body of work. She approaches it all with warmth, humor, and the ongoing remembrance that none of us are separate from the life we are trying to serve.

Her favorite pointer remains beautifully simple:

You don’t have to know.

Alex: Online Resources Coordinator

Alex serves quietly in the background of Awaken the World, tending the online spaces, schedules and technical details through which these teachings find their way to people everywhere.

At fifteen, Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha opened a door that has never fully closed. Jung, Krishnamurti and Huxley followed, along with brief, luminous moments of communion with the whole that left their mark for life. Years of career and family life veiled the search for a time, until a conscious choice to simplify returned him to the question of reality and being. Seeing the coherence between quantum physics and the spiritual teachings, and receiving Dan’s clear, interdisciplinary guidance, brought the inquiry fully alive again.

Today Alex manages the design, development and maintenance of the Awaken the World website, along with the web programming and back-end work behind it. He holds his work with the Translators group as a form of service, helping the films, subtitles, transcriptions and website speak to people in their own languages, and he is moved to see these teachings travel across so many cultures.

He coordinates the hosts and schedule of the daily meditations, and supports the self-inquiry retreats as facilitator and tech host, quietly holding the space so that participants can rest in stillness or in self-inquiry.

All these activities have become a steady sadhana for him, bringing a deepening presence and a quiet sense of wellness in these busy and uncertain times. Most of what he does goes unseen, which suits him well, since it is a joy to help in the background of an initiative he is so grateful to be part of.

ATW 데일리 명상 호스트

Awaken the World 온라인 명상 커뮤니티는 정기적인 명상 수련을 시작하고 지속하거나 심화할 수 있도록 동기를 부여하는, 서로를 지지하고 포용하는 가상 공간으로 만들어졌습니다. 누구나 이 무료 모임에 자유롭게 참여할 수 있습니다. 다음은 수년 동안 이 공간을 이끌어 온 초기 진행자 몇 분입니다.

시바시스 사후

2017년 과학으로 설명할 수 없는 수백 번의 경험 이후, 나는 내면으로 향할 수밖에 없었고 내면 역시 엉망이라는 것을 깨달았습니다.

내면으로 향하고 자신을 마주하며, 아직도 계속되는 변화를 시작했습니다. 이것이 바로 항복이었습니다.

우리가 그것을 바꾸려 하지 않고 우리 자신을 이해하기 시작할 수 있다면, 우리 자신이 급격한 변화를 겪기 시작할 것입니다.

아크람 마하니

일상적인 침묵 명상을 주관하는 것은 진정한 축복이자 특권이었습니다. 명상에 참여하면서 제 자신도 스스로를 깊게 더듬어 볼 수 있었습니다.

또한, 저는 매일 공통된 목표를 위해 함께하는 구도자 공동체의 일원이라는 느낌을 받습니다. 이 기회에 진심으로 감사드립니다!

실비나 알터만

저는 아르헨티나에 사는 심리학자입니다. 30여 년 전부터 개인적이고 임상적인 작업에 초개인적이고 영적인 차원을 통합했습니다. 식물과 호흡을 통한 비일상적인 의식 상태에 대한 경험을 바탕으로 꾸준하고 점진적으로 명상과 자기 탐구를 실천하기 시작했습니다.
이곳에서 저는 집처럼 편안함을 느끼고, 지구 공동체 의식을 일깨우는 것을 목적으로 하는 이 사랑이 넘치는 공동체 공간에 참여하게 된 것을 영광스럽고 감사하게 생각합니다.

마틴 베이넌

대학에서 로보틱스와 지능형 기계를 전공하고, 과학과 존재의 본질에 대한 15년간의 깊은 탐구 끝에, 갑작스러운 의식의 전환으로 구도자가 탄생하였고 물질적인 것에서 영적인 것으로의 전환이 일어났습니다. 처음에 전통적이고 점진적인 요가의 길로 시작했다가, 나중에는 길 없는 길로 향하게 되었습니다. 2025년과 2026년 사이에 여러 차례의 펼쳐짐과 열림이 일어났고, 이는 구도자의 죽음과 봉사의 부름—나 자신을 내어주고 나누라는 부름—으로 이어졌습니다. 매일 진행되는 침묵 명상을 주관하고 이 공간을 지키며, 이 공동체의 일원이 되는 것은 놀라운 축복이자 특권입니다.

트라우델 데프너

2년간 꾸준히 매일 진행되는 침묵 명상에 참여해 왔는데, 이제는 명상을 이어가는 데 호스트로 도움을 줄 수 있게 되었습니다. 저에게 가장 큰 어려움은 디지털 도구를 다루는 것입니다. 침묵은 점차 축복이자 감사함, 그리고 명료함과 사랑의 깊이가 되어왔습니다. 이 그룹에 정말 감사드리며, 참여해주시는 모든 분들께 깊은 감사를 드립니다!

트레이시 콜먼

그녀는 아름다운 반항아, 시카고 출신의 영적인 갱스터라고 불렸다. 
이 특별한 여성은 자신만의 방식으로 살아가며 “자신에게 진실하라”는 자신만의 부름에 노래한다.”
34년 전 중독의 절망에서 벗어나 회복의 길로 들어선 그녀는 완전히 열린 마음으로 자신의 여정을 시작했습니다., 
모든 것과 모든 사람의 배후에 있는 안내하는 힘인 내면 집중적인 인식에 헌신합니다.
Tracy is dedicated to this awareness itself, to living an untethered life for herself and serving others in their lives.

디안 말테이스

고요함과 존재함 자체의 달콤함 속에서 휴식하고 있습니다. 이 공간, 이 순간, 그리고 조용한 이해를 나누고 있습니다. 이러한 매일의 명상과 하나 됨은 저에게 현실의 닻이 되었습니다. 복잡한 것을 풀고, 관찰하고, 깊어지는 곳입니다. 고요함 속에서 무언가 본질적인 것이 기억됩니다.
평화, 명료함, 혹은 단순히 머물 곳을 찾는 모든 분들을 따뜻하게 초대합니다. 저희와 함께 앉아주세요.

“침묵 속에는 웅변이 있다. 짜는 것을 멈추고 무늬가 어떻게 개선되는지 보라.”
