Hello guys.
I'm shooting a short film right now and one of the locations was on a very bad place downtown, a bar, at night there are crack addicts roaming, picking up trash and wires trying to find copper to sell them for mere bucks, it's dirty, looks ugly.
In the past I'd have been very disturbed, anxious, worrying about my safety. If not all this, perhaps only feeling a very strong uneasiness.
All I could think is that that was not it, these people are also like me, atmas, the darkness and ugliness were only made up, not actually there. That realization dissipated all subtle illness, I could see through it all, I was able to take a deep breath and stay in heaven, even though my senses told me I was in hell.
For me it was a great example how philosophical clarity can help one's life.
What are your realizations on this?
