We are creating a pictoral essay titled 'The Human Experience', and soliciting for photographs from people around the globe to be choosen for entry into the pictoral essay. A producer, distributor, marketing agent and Premiere or Macintosh editor are being solicited for also.

 

The essays' purpose is to answer the question, 'What is it to be human?'.  Spiritual in nature the pictoral essay has a universal and nondenominational script that connects the viewer to the sixteen common attributes of the human experience. It will be presented on youtube and made into a DVD.

 

Sixteen Commonalities of the Human Experience to be photographicly depicted:

Physical Body

Love

The question of God/something greater

Relationship

Judgment

Forgiveness

Intimacy

Suffering

Pain/physical

Joy

Children

Responsibility

Death

Purpose

Why I am here?

 


Excerpt from  The  Human Experience biography:

"I do believe we are at a turning point in history. That turning point has a spiritual nature that has manifested itself in the physical world. The physical world presents us with horrors that have been created by human actions and reactions. If we do not reflect within ourselves the oneness of the human experience, we are condemned to continue those horrors upon each other and the environment.  We have the potential to heal ourselves through the universal love that all spiritual teachings propose and decent people of no religious affiliation adhere to.  The turning point is now here, where those of us on this planet and its future generations step into a new era of awareness that we truly are one body.

 

We as humans, we as in all living beings, we as in all of creation, are united beyond the physical realm.  A realm that is more common than even the same molecules that make up our physical existence. It is the realm of the spirit that we are united without separation.  When each one of us experiences that essence of commonality, a touch of divinity can be felt. I dare say that even an atheist can feel it but just name it differently.

 

I have found the most profound experience of love; that touch of divinity in the moments that I have opened myself to the larger Self we are all connected to. And in that experience I have come to know the spirit in all things. When the “I” experiences oneness in all things with no sense of otherness and when time does not exist but in the Now. That is the moment that evokes the touch  of divinity."

 

“We are not humans having a spiritual experience, we are spirits having a human experience.”
