Return to Light

I have little doubt that within a few years every piece of video ever recorded will be available, free, at any moment, for everybody. YouTube is nothing but the beginning. I don’t know how it works, but I thought that the videos on YouTube could not be longer than 10 minutes. And if a video is longer, the quality has to be reduced. But today I discovered a video that is one and a half hours long! The quality of the images is a bit poor here and there, but I have seen worse. And the sound quality is great.
The linernotes say that “The film is dedicated to the German philosopher Abd-ru-shin, whose life and spiritual writings have inspired the directors deeply.” I have never heard of Abd-ru-shin, but I have put him on my list. The film opens with a quote from Abd-ru-shin: “There is no such thing as this world and the beyond, but only one united existence.” If there is one person, among the 65 people who have seen this film so far, who can remember this for the rest of her or his life, it is all worth it. And I would not mind if I was that person.
