Tales From The Jungle: Carlos Castaneda (2007)

Carlos Castaneda rose to fame after the publication of his book, The Teachings Of Don Juan. The book is based on his anthropological fieldwork in the Mexican desert in the Sixties with a Yaqui Indian shaman, whom he called Don Juan. The Teachings Of Don Juan was an instant success for Castaneda, persuading thousands of Americans to set off for Mexico in search of drugs, nirvana and enlightenment. Castaneda was dubbed the "grandfather of the New Age movement" by Time magazine and awarded a doctorate in anthropology from UCLA. But an investigative journalist claimed Castaneda had faked his fieldwork and that Don Juan was merely a figment of his imagination. This film investigates the controversy that surrounded Castaneda's book and explores the practices of today's Yaqui Indians with Dr David Shorter, who has spent the last decade working among them in Mexico.

Sex: The Secret Gate to Eden

Thelema Press publishes gnostic videos and books. This introduction to Gnosticism reveals a, "rich tapestry of sacred sex symbolism from around the world. The narrative weaves various traditions into its account, including the Kabbala, Western Europe’s alchemy symbols, Tantra, Mayan carvings, Tibetan Buddhism, and various Christian gospels. It is inspiring to see the parallels between these traditions, even if they have been interpreted radically differently over the years." - reuniting.info

This film traces the meaning of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and claims that, "these are two trees that are given specific importance within the garden [of Eden]. These two trees are symbolic, not literal," and moreover, "the Bible is symbolic. The characters and events of the Bible are a cloak that veils the real message." This movie describes the creation of humanity in the Garden of Eden and underlines the separation of the sexes..

"In contrast to the familiar image of a bearded old man, God is established in the first three words of the Bible as androgynous, containing both male and female."

Project Camelot Interviews David Icke

"David Icke, one of the most visible, outspoken and controversial speakers and writers about the Illuminati and the New World Order control agenda, will need practically no introduction to most readers of this page. We've been in touch with David since November 2006, when Camelot was relatively young. We had an interview arranged then, but David had to cancel due to an emergency; and several later attempts to reschedule it all met with logistical problems. Finally - over two years later! - we caught up with him in Sedona, and were able to sit down for a long conversation with him about his life and his work. This is not an interview specifically about the information he's researched and presents so lucidly in his famous long presentations, and in his many books - all of which are packed with references, anecdotes and encyclopedic detail. It's more about the man behind his mission; what makes him tick, and what keeps him going; the source of his inner resolve; and, notably - anyone who mistakes David for a doomsayer, take note - his vision for Planet Earth: 'The idea that this might not all have a successful outcome', he told us, 'Never occurs to me.'" -Project Camelot

Abide As the Self: The Essential Teachings of Ramana Maharshi

'Abide As the Self' explores the life and teachings of the remarkable Indian sage, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, who was born in a village called Tiruchulli of South India on December 30, 1879. Ramana's presence is captured by a rare collection of photographs, comprehensive film footage and a heartfelt narration by Ram Dass. Witness the compassion, grace and teaching of one of the most respected sages of this century come to life, with emphasis on the practice of self-inquiry.

While he wrote very little and taught mainly through the power of silence, Ramana Maharshi's words and presence remain vibrantly alive to those who seek the source of their true being. This documentary encourages the viewer to remove, "the obstacles that make you think the self is not already realized." In his devotional poems, Ramana regards the following as true: "That which rises in this body as 'I' is the mind ... investigate what the mind is and it will disappear ... self-surrender is the same as self-knowledge ... steady determination is what is required."

Several well known devotees describe the different ways that they experienced Maharshi's presence and teachings, "The teaching of Bhagavan has acquired world-wide recognition and attracted seekers from all five continents. As much for its simplicity as for its sturdy rationality, which appeal to both the head and the heart. It can, however, be summed up in the ancient dictum 'know thy self' or 'seek the seeker'." - S. S. Cohen
