Creating a Documentary that may just save the world
Tax deductible
Wars, Climate Change, Corruption...The world is not in a good place. But what if there would be a solution that is so powerful we could create a global transformation, in a matter of weeks? (see 2-min video below)
This solution has been around for 45 years already, and is backed up by some of the most impressive research in the history of social science, but it's not being used for only one simple reason: People don't know about it, or don't understand how it works. With your (tax-deductible) support, we can change this. (and we have some data to prove it, see below).
There's a book that already successfully explains the solution, (see more below, you can download a free 45-page ebook summary here), but to reach a much wider audience, we want to turn this book into a documentary that we want to make available to millions of people for free.
We ran a test on Facebook and Instagram to see how people would react to our story, and the response was beyond our wildest dreams. 55% of those that watched at least 30 seconds of the above video signed up to be kept up to date on the documentary release and get the ebook summary. This already makes it the most successful social media campaign we've ever done. (One of our producers has managed millions of dollars worth of Facebook campaigns in the past, and he’s never seen anything like it).
The plan is to produce and release the documentary in stages on social media and Youtube, (see team credentials and description of episodes below). We already invested $50,000 ourselves to record over 70 hours of footage and start the production, but we’ll need to raise app. $10,000 per episode for further production costs. Producing the first 2-3 episodes, which will make the biggest difference to explain the technology, will likely give us the momentum we need to get the funds for the rest. So we really don't need much.
What is the solution?
In short, the solution is a proven "technology" to raise global consciousness, so that every single person in the world starts thinking and behaving differently, because they start to feel more connected to each other. (see more detail below in the description of episodes).

Producer Credentials:
Janet Attwood (investigative reporter in the documentary): NYT best-selling author. Transformational leader.Extensive experience with documentary production and interviewing people.
Joachim Claes: author of the book The Field Paradigm, (currently retitled The Science of Spirituality) explaining the technology in a way that anyone can understand it*. Former international Marketing manager for the global non-profit organization that aims to implement the solution, creating a website and social media campaigns that already resulted in 20 million visitors. Extensive experience in video animations, video editing and composing music.
Dr. Tony Nader: current global CEO of the non-profit organization that will implement the solution. Supervising role in the production.
Planned Documentary episodes (5-15 min each):
1. Introduction: see 2-min video below
2. The technology explained: explaining in 6-7 minutes how consciousness is a field that interconnects us and how we can access that field (an experience called "transcending"), through the world's oldest meditation technique that has gotten lost but was recently rediscovered. By experiencing this, we enliven that connection for everyone around us and create measurable changes in people's behaviour. This makes this technology both the ultimate scientific proof that this field is real and the ultimate practical application.
3. History of transcending: How the technique to transcend got lost, and how it was rediscovered, as the Transcendental Meditation technique, and how the early success of TM launched our current global interest in meditation, with now over 300 million people practicing some form of meditation technique.
4. The Science of Spirituality: How the ultimate spiritual experience could be objectively measured for the first time, with research showing the remarkable effects that take place during transcending on both body and brain.
5. A Clash of Paradigms: When TM's founder Maharishi started claiming that a tiny small percentage of the population transcending could influence the behavior of the entire population, he suddenly ventured outside of the accepted paradigms in science. Even though he had some really impressive research to prove his claims, those who didn't understand the new paradigm of consciousness as a field simply ignored or ridiculed the data. This clash of new proof contradicting old ideas came at an enormous cost to his own organization.
6. Other Research confirming consciousness as a field: Investigating 150 years of other research confirming that consciousness is a field, and how those researchers faced similar reactions from the scientific community as Maharishi.
7. Our True Nature: How people can be both fundamentally good, and still act in inhumane ways. How stress causes us to lose our connection with our (fundamentally good) true selves, how that is reflected in our brain functioning, and how transcending heals the damaging effects of stress
8. The Experiments: overview of some of the most impressive Maharishi Effect experiments
9. The successor: the story of Dr. Tony Nader, and how he’s continuing Maharishi’s work.
10. The final demonstration: A demonstration where 10,000 advanced TM meditators come together to create a measurable effect in the world, organized by Dr. Nader.
11. The implementation: Possible ways to create groups in schools, the military, prisons, etc.
*We ran a survey of the book among readers (115 replies) which showed that 95% of the readers:
- Found the book interesting/inspiring
- Were inspired to learn TM advanced techniques and the TM sidhi program as a result of reading the book
- Would consider giving the book to a friend as an introduction to TM.
In Belgium and Holland, the TM organization has been paying for the printing costs of the book to give it away for free to all meditators. The response is so good that the project has now been continued into it's 8th year.
