we need a change of the paradigm – dialogue of civilizations — my latest work

~ florries ~ Leave a comment

I’m very proud to present my latest film:

Every autumn since 2003 the ancient Greek island of Rhodes hosts a session of the World Public Forum «Dialogue of Civilizations» called the Rhodes Forum that brings together public figures and statesmen, academics, religious figures and representatives of the arts, mass media and business spheres from all over the world. The sessions of the WPF «Dialogue of Civilizations» proved the urgency and efficacy of the Forum by bringing the focus of world public opinion to the problems of intercultural dialogue and the need to work out instruments to make interaction among cultures and civilizations possible. The results achieved by the Forum give a hope for further harmonization of international relations and strengthening of stability in the world.

A 30 minute Youtube-documentary I made on the 15th of October Occupy/Real Democracy/r-love-ution demonstration in Vienna. Interviews in English, subtitles in English for demonstration signs + shots from the “talking stick” circle, which started the day.

Next global R-Love-ution: 11.11.11

Occupy Vienna directly occupied a big, empty house in central Vienna – Lindengasse 60 – the “Epizentrum”:

found: where science and buddhism meet by Gerald Penilla

~ florries ~ 2 Comments

Just found this great, simple, to the point summary of the connection between Quantum Science and the basic ideas of classic Asian philosophy and religion like Buddhism, Taoism and Hinduism, made by Gerald Penilla

One can of course make many arguments against drawing the sort of conclusions which Gerald present in this film. The most common one argument that I have heard is that mathematics are only abstractions and that they just cannot say anything about reality as it really is. Which brings at least my mind to the question if one can say anything about reality as it is…

No matter what point of view you have, I think that you will find the connections which Gerald presents here at least interesting.

Where Science and Buddhism meet part 1 and 2

I think that the most striking about the conclusions presented above is that we are very likely co- creating not only ourselves, but also each other and our reality with our thoughts and attitudes, in a not only spiritual but also physical sense.

A very good reason to love ourselves, one another and our surroundings:  to love all of existence.

And with loving I do not mean some illusion-based infatuation which is denying the difficult, challenging or “bad” sides of reality, each other, existence;

no, I mean a deep, true feeling of compassion, which results in compassion, and love, streaming out of the body, mind and soul, influencing oneself and the surroundings to do good and feel well. And love.
