APPETITE FOR WONDER | Richard Dawkins

APPETITE FOR WONDER | Richard Dawkins
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." -Albert Einstein

"I think that the appetite for mystery, the enthusiasm for that which we don't understand is healthy and to be fostered. It's the same appetite which drives the best of true science and it's an appetite which true science is best qualified to satisfy." - Richard Dawkins

THE ESSENCE OF LIFE IN 2 MINUTES

THE ESSENCE OF LIFE IN 2 MINUTES
This is a clip from the documentary, "BEYOND," featuring photographer Joey L. Set in Varanasi, India. The documentary by filmmaker Cale Glendening follows Joey and his assistant Ryan as they complete their latest photo series- "Holy Men." Almost every major religion breeds ascetics; wandering monks who have renounced all earthly possessions, dedicating their lives to the pursuit of spiritual liberation.Their reality is dictated only by the mind, not material objects. Even death is not a fearsome concept, but a passing from the world of illusion.
