what??
The world will take care of itself and if that means getting rid of the little pests ( us humans), it will and it wont blink an eye in doing so. The film sounds hypocritical in that it uses all the technology of this hyper modern world to talk about it's faults. Try going back the the basics and see if it gets this much play....Probably not because concepts alone would be way too boring and redundant for most......add some psychedelic imagery and some good ol' techno and it is what it is...not much. Been there, done that.....

What you need to do is bring about 1,000,000 heads together in a nice pasture in South Carolina in the fall and have us dose each other!!! Now that's a learning experience.

The Divine Does'nt Need to be Awaken
Does the Divine need awakening? We ourselves may need to be awaken to the Divine, but Divine is just fine, it never fell asleep. The world is just fine. Some of the people in it might be messed up. But really, the world is just fine and it knows how to take care of it self. It's been around a hell of a lot longer then we have. - Unsubscribed , posted 01/23/08

a wild and wise ride
this is an inspired work, weaving together the insights of some of the most innovative teachers and scholars in the western world, with mindblowing graphics and music. i don't resonate with every statement and assumption here, but hey, jump in, the ocean is big enough for all of us. - jeffa , posted 06/02/07

Critical Mass Productions Announces The Release of Entheogen:Awakening the Divine Within

Award Winning Documentary at its first Hollywood Premiere Opens Minds to the Evolution of Planetary Consciousness


PALO ALTO, CA (May 15, 2007) — Critical Mass Productions (CMP Group Inc) announced today the commercial DVD release of the award winning documentary Entheogen: Awakening the Divine Within. A breakthrough synesthetic film experience, this feature-length documentary weaves an electrifying tapestry of audio and visual imagery that transcends traditional documentary storytelling. Through interviews with leading countercultural thinkers and artists, the film invites the viewer to rediscover an enchanted cosmos by awakening to the divine within.

Entheogen examines the modern day crisis of disenchantment associated with living in a hyper modern world, integrating ancient history, philosophy, science and emerging technology to draw the audience toward new existential possibilities. Weaving together images and interviews of ecological awareness, tribal dance culture, shamanism and the current evaluation of entheogenic compounds, the film documents the emergence of techno-shamanism and the evolution of man kind. Exploring themes ranging from archaic cosmologies to the collective consciousness of the Internet, the thinkers and artists in the film, including Stan Grof, Marilyn Schiltz, Terence Mckenna, Alex Grey, Ralph Metzner, John Markoff, Daniel Pinchbeck, and Kat Harrison postulate the potential for the next leap in planetary consciousness.

Entheogen will be released on DVD on May 18th, following a string of pre-release screenings that have garnered critical acclaim. The film won Best Documentary at Hollywood’s Brilliant Light Film Festival, its festival premiere. The film was also screened in Park City during the Sundance Film Festival at Mindbender, an eclectic event that integrated the screening with interactive artistic and musical performances that sustained some 600 initiates until dawn.

“I would say that this film is coming forth as an expression of the democratization of film production that has enabled the ‘cultural creatives’ to produce films of high production quality with less capital than would have been necessary even a few years ago. The film has been a labor of love, an ‘open source’ dialogue that has enabled the technologically empowered younger generation of countercultural thinkers to engage with and synthesize the wisdom and experience of the elders of this community. We’re honored that so many of these pioneers have participated in this project, and excited about sharing this vision of the concrescence of a new participatory definition of flow through hip hop, through poetry, through dance, art, psychedelics, etc., as it evolves via ongoing events that will emerge organically through the globally interconnected information sphere.” said Rod Mann, director of the film and CMP Group Founder.
