“This is a non-commercial attempt to highlight the fact that world leaders, irresponsible corporates and mindless ‘consumers’ are combining to destroy life on earth. It is dedicated to all who died fighting for the planet and those whose lives are on the line today. The cut was put together by Vivek Chauhan, a young film maker, together with naturalists working with the Sanctuary Asia network. The principal source for the footage was Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s incredible film HOME. The music is by Armand Amar. And extracts from Greenpeace and Timescapes“.

After having been presented on different festivals “Life in a Day” is now available for free with subtitles in 25 languages (here is the one with German subtitles). More information on the Lifeinaday-Channel.

They have also produced other videos like Symphony of Science – “Children of Africa” (The Story of Us): “A musical celebration of humanity, its origins, and achievements, contrasted with a somber look at our environmentally destructive tendencies and deep similarities with other primates.”

or “The Poetry of Reality (An Anthem for Science)” (The Poetry of Reality is the fifth installment in the Symphony of Science music video series. It features 12 scientists and science enthusiasts.)

or “Our Place in the Cosmos” – great pictures….

But what interests me is how Nick Anthony Fiorenza on his above site explains how to explore the astrology of newly discovered objects in our solar system. He outlines several things “that can give us significant insight into the astrological nature of new astronomical bodies” and describes the qualities of the dwarf planets. He especially describes Haumea and Makemake. So he attributes to Haumea “an essence of ‘purity’ or a birth of specialness, the ability to produce a fresh or clear state of consciousness” – Haumea being the Hawaiian Goddess of Childbirth and Fertility.

And Makemake is the Polynesian name for the creator god of humanity in the mythology of the South Pacific island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). His association with the lunar constellation Revati “indicates involvement with economics and money–material wealth gained from participating in the dramatic psycho-emotional world of human affairs–where the bucks are.”

“As above so below.” It says that the consciousness of humanity opens up to new dimensions whenever a new planet gets discovered. All these trans-Neptunian objects discovered in the last decades indicate that we are heading ahead into new and still quite unfathomable dimensions of this great time of transition.

Another video, Glow Temple “is the last in a series entitled the Journey Cycle. These short films loosely follow a dreamlike continuum of travels through a lost book. … Ancient alchemical writings move us along to find the key. The goal was to create an experience that would transport you without being specific, hence the unknown language.”

Krishna greeting the morning sun, in the meditation room

Sun and crystal reflecting through the tetrahedron

On the balcony

The walnut tree is spreading its gifts

Through the kitchen window

A last sunflower

Acorns at the hedge

Autumn colours

Sun rays over the neighbour farm
