A documentary about the art of living outside of conventions, in deep integrity with one's essence.
Featuring Michael Behrens. Subtitled in Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Turkish.
By the team that brought you www.TheWisdomOfTrauma.com .
As a rising star in the field of abstract mathematics, Michael discovered that he could see beauty and pattern where others could not. But his path was not to be inside academia, or even inside society. He went on a grand adventure to unify his Buddhism with his ability to see an expanded view of reality. He created beauty in a place where nobody else would, and made his friends amongst dolphins.
Zaya and Maurizio here, we went to Hawaii in 2016 and, on a remote beach, met Michael. After a short while it become apparent that Michael was not an ordinary man… We spoke about quantum physics, Buddhism, spirituality, art and he then invited us to his house after he made sure we had “good enough shoes”…
Soon after we parked the car on a remote road we understood why…
Michael lives in the middle of a thick jungle, 20 minutes walking from the road in a plot of land he cleared himself. …by hand!!!
He brought all material on his shoulders, and built an amazing garden based on sacred geometry. An amazing place devoted to beauty and impracticality...
The house has no inside running water, only a shower outside and no electricity.
Michael recently bought a small solar panel so he can continue his research and communicate via his computer with other mathematicians and the world.
In that jungle mosquitos are so ferocious (ALL day and night) that the only temporary relief is to take a shower outside and run around to get dry… But I am not spoiling any more of the story… :)
It was an honor and a joy to go back and shoot this film and we hope you enjoy it.
Science and Nonduality is a community inspired by timeless wisdom, informed by cutting-edge science, and grounded in direct experience. We come together in an open-hearted exploration while celebrating our humanity.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsWIicykqNy5cqc.html Latest video of Michael, now 82. And here is what he has to say to you all: "Thanks to all the people who felt a connection to my movie! Truly beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and I am honored and delighted, and deeply touched by this connection to so many beautiful people. That your openness and vulnerability respond to my openness and vulnerability is beyond description and is a great gift. Thank you. michael "

I was never interested in math, nor can I do much with it. However, no number is greater than 1 because no other number would exist or follow after without it. Thank you for your freedom shared with so many who really have not experienced such joy. That is what Our Heavenly Father intended for us all. Your compassion is the firm foundation of your faith, and it shows with the stories you shared and the world you created around you through love, respect, and peace with nature, people, and yourself. You have rewritten what self-worth is for many without. No number calculated is greater than the gift of your life and how you shared it.

Yea, so very true. I noticed during our years if C madness the difference between ny eldest daughter, private school education, 41,and my youngest adhd & aspergers/ autism. Difficulties in early years focusing and concentrating ~ my eldest I thought would ask questions, not simply acceir what authority/ govt told her. Youngest, her partner and myself were totally ostracised since the 1st Xmas ~ we were not welcome, our connections have been damaged very powerfully. My Entire family, like so many others, imploded. I'm still reeling and in grief. But the difference with my youngest reacting purely from intuition, as myself also were seen as crazy and dangerous to others close to them. Why I am different and have always asked questions ... yet I'm well educated also. Mastery ❤

THE ART OF LIFE I am so touch, so matching, so beautiful, so relax, so lonely, so empty.. so matching my feeling right now.. TRỐNG RỖNG (Vietnamese) The core concept of Buddism is called sunyata or emptiness, which means, thing don't exist in the way they seem to exist. ..just started hacking the jungle, just kind of wrapped up in a piece of plastic at night, and then I'd walk up to the road and hitch into town and wait until something happened and I wound up having a box of food, and I'd come back out and do it all over again." Thank you so much Micheal I spent 13 years in university learning how to think, now I have to spend the rest of my life learning to NOT THINK. EMPTINESS The mathematics that the universe is designed on is beautiful. If you can see the beauty in every being then you can appreciate and love every being. You can't see the beauty unless you intimate with them." Absolutely, thanks the producer bring Michael inspire the world.

By the end, THIS FILM HAD ME IN TEARS OF JOY. I'm 70 now. From the very beginning as a child, life/death circumstances pushed me into a search for understanding. Along that path I consumed everything that showed a glimmer of hope. ALL of Ram Das, ALL of Alan Watts, All of countless others who provided a glimmer in their perspective. I eventually came to see they were all saying the basically same thing but in different ways. They were like little sparks, little pieces of a puzzle... Watching this, those pieces began swirling in my mind until finally, thanks to Michael, they settled down into the bigger, beautiful, cohesive picture. There really are no words to explain the pure joy of my heart dancing at this, the end of my search. Heartfelt, joyfilled thank you Michael.

(3) I don’t watch the videos (it’s too upsetting) Pasquale is talking about, (even if it’s a KZfaq commercial or post on FB [which I quit]) we know there is a great deal of pain inflicted by humans on both humans and animals - I understand the journey - but how can one grow to be non-reactive to the suffering?

😭😭😭 I decided to leave my house to go to the store while still listening as it was near the end - I could barely keep myself from crying my eyes out. And I felt like I saw everyone in the grocery store, as prisoners of this system. Freedom is like my #1 value and I don’t really feel free and I think it’s why I have problems with addiction. This longing, pain and kind of of anger with how the world works, and how I know I could break free from it, if I didn’t have all the same shackles in my mind that I despise to see in the world. I have always thought I would be the kind of person who would be happy living a simple life on a beach, just a place I could go be with nature. But my family is here, and we all know what parents say when you speak about these kinds of things. They don’t want to hear any of it and tell you it’s irresponsible and immature and eventually “you just gotta grow up and face the “real world”” so I try to do what I can with where I am at. I try to work as little as possible, and get outside as often as possible, and appreciate the small freedoms that I do have.

This is one of the most powerful documentaries I have ever experienced. My wife shared the link and told me to pull up on our TV. I had no idea what she was sharing. She just told me it was shared with her and someone said we should watch it. So we start watching and I have no idea what I'm about to watch. Immediately I was drawn in by Michael's story telling about his life. Then it weaves in his enlightenment about life. I never wondered where this was going, because I was so present with every moment. I watch a lot of documentaries and there can take a lot of production elements to bolster and edify a story. What's so profound here for me, is that it's shot and edited beautifully, and yet it's simple and uncomplicated... And it resonates! And that's what the nature of consciousness is: simple and uncomplicated, but humanity has defaulted to trying to overthink everything. I'm grateful for Michael sharing his story and very grateful for the filmmakers bringing us this story. I'm sharing this with one and all! 🙏🏼💙

He evokes & is soul kin to Han Shan, Red Pine, Hericlitus, Jane Goodall, Jesus, St Francis, John Muir, Buddha, & the best in everyone's soul. May he know how much all beings love him & truly are boosted forward by his life.

Most of us go outside ourselves in search of meaning. Michael seems to have listened and lived the beauty of life; his life essence in sync with natural vibration of beauty. I cant describe it because I have never seen anything like it. I am in awe. I wish someone had photographed the garden/eden he has created and put it in a book. So beautiful, I have never seen anything like it before. The color and texture of the plants and the types of flowers - so magnificent

Michael and Zaya and Maurizi - My husband and I are on a vacation in Cabo. We are spending the days experiencing and researching and following our curiosities during the day and sharing our insights. We just finished this beautiful movie. We see in others what we hope to see in the world. What I saw and felt was a commitment to sharing love and light and putting that energy into the world for others. With both Michael's story and Zaya and Maurizi's commitment to tell it. It has encourged me and serves a remind to continue to hone my gifts, to give them freely, and to trust the path to unfold each moment. With deepest and most sincere gratitude, Stacey

An amazing documentary! I can't stop watching it. His tenderness with his losses in life is amazing. I love his way of being and seeing in this world. We should all be as gentle, loving and kind as Michael. Particularly, I love his description of the dolphins needing to be polite to survive and also their 'politeness'. This really struck me - so simple and yet, so utterly profound - perhaps humans could learn. Perchance to dream!

I don't speak of this as a competition with other humans. The challenge is to in-joy.

Aloha Michael ~ Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing the film of your peaceful, loving life. Such a Gift! I once lived similarly, in remote Hawaiian solitude with the Beauty of Nature and the Glorious Sea my only friends; the sounds of both, my only music. Sitting, standing, dancing bare, with tears of immense gratitude mixing with the warm Island rains. And a smile on my face and a laugh in my heart. Feeling complete and utterly free. And I have swam in the sea, singing Amazing Grace into the deep blue above, until the Dolphins came to answer. A pod of a thousand passing below me, quietly clicking and chatting with each other while never breaking the surface until they were gone, disappearing into the distant depths. It was the best of life. I thank you for your film, which so reminds me of my own Journey. I offer to you a film of my own, as a gift in return.

Michael is a beautiful human being who has carved out a kind of paradise there in Maui. As an engineer who started mindfulness practice two years ago and lifelong swimmer, this documentary was deeply touching and inspirational on many levels. I’ve had the good fortune to swim with dolphins once, while body surfing in the Atlantic and it was wonderful. What Michael describes would truly be a kind of nirvana! His deep understanding of the world, mathematics, science and Buddhist philosophy is something that can only occur via the gift of a brilliant mind surrounded by the peace and beauty he has immersed himself in. Thank you to Science and Nonduality for creating this moving documentary. Namaste.

Ohhh I'm utterly blissed out after watching and hearing Michael's narrative of the beauty that is his life. It's so fascinating to hear his views of how mathematics and quantum physics relate to life as we know it. Michael's profound emotional response to life is moving and mesmerizing. How he built that exquisite home because it "seemed like a trippy thing to do at the time" is most certainly underplayed. The craftmanship involved in such an undertaking is astonishing. Lastly, the way Michael became part of the dolphin pod and became their star playmate is - well - otherworldly. Thanks so very very much for bringling this film to us all. I'll share it as much as I can.
