When I began filming the interviews 6 years ago with the sages, I had no idea that the “crises” the sages were talking about would have such global and personal ramifications during 2012, the year of release and thrust of the film. I feel that the wisdom imparted by the sages in “Awaken, Soul to Soul” brings forth the soul’s perspective about why a crisis is necessary for our personal evolution and planetary awakening. Ultimately, a crisis is an initiation to help one purge past the ego back to one’s divine essence. With “Awaken, Soul to Soul”, I wanted to give the viewer the opportunity to know the oneness, not as a mental concept, but as a direct experience; thus offering the media of film as a tool for activating and awakening consciousness. It suddenly dawned on me, to simply stop breathing. I wasn't thinking, I just wanted to stop the pain of living. So, I took one last breath and stopped breathing. In that moment of quite desperation, I felt something in the darkness, suddenly grab both of my wrists and lift me to my feet from the floor. And from having felt completely suicidal and utterly alone, in one moment, I instantly felt, completely ecstatic, euphoric and connected in bliss to all that is, in the next. This extraordinary spontaneous experience was totally foreign to me. If I couldn't see it, hear it or feel it, it didn't exist. I thought I was loosing my mind. I knew I was loosing my mind. So I got on the phone and started calling everyone I knew to find a therapist nearby that could see me ASAP. I finally got the name of a woman who specialized in spiritual psychology. At the time, although I had studied psychology at NYU, I didn't know what “spiritual psychology” was, but since I was feeling so desperate, I booked an appointment for the next day.
