But if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read about that book, you'll have more understanding when you look out, more awareness when you wake up, more wakefulness as you go about your day, more inner happiness.

We're like lightbulbs. If bliss starts growing inside you, it's like a light it affects the environment.

I let the actors work out their ideas before shooting, then tell them what attitudes I want. If a scene isn't honest, it stands out like a sore thumb.

Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure.They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.

When you do something that works you have a happiness, but I don't know if it's a feeling of power. Power is a frightening thing and that's not what I'm interested in. I want to do certain things and make them right in my mind and that's it.

A filmmaker doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. You just have to understand it. You don't have to die to shoot a death scene.

I always loved smokestack industry, and I love towns or cities that have grown up around factories.

I think true love is not only true personal love but totality of love, universal love - to be in love with everything manifest and everything unmanifest.

Consciousness-based education, which I am helping to promote, is basically the same education that good schools are giving today with Transcendental Meditation added for the students, teachers, staff, and principal.

Every time I hear sounds, I see pictures. Then, I start getting ideas. It just drives me crazy

The greatest thing my father left me was a love for cutting wood - my love for sawing, especially pine wood.

I'm not any different than anybody else. But I do see a world, for me, that's getting better and better, not worse and worse. And I believe that world peace is coming quicker than we think. And I believe that people are not only yearning for it but will see a way to get it and help that way to come sooner. And it's going to be beautiful.

People think in Hollywood there's a family, where everybody gets together talks about stuff and we all know each other, and it's just not that way at all to me.

I love the quality, feel and history of film. I love the pictures of the giant cameras and the way it was.

As a kid, I was always building things. My father had a shop in the house, and we built things - we were kind of a project family. I started out as a painter, and then painting led to cinema, and in cinema, you get to build so many things, or help build them.

There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us.

You don't need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere.

I love industry. Pipes. I love fluid and smoke. I love man-made things. I like to see people hard at work, and I like to see sludge and man-made waste.

Because you make a world that didn't exist before, and you can go into that world deeper and deeper. It's unbounded out there. One film takes you into one area, another film takes you into another area. There could be trillions, zillions of worlds that exist in the big space.

The nervous system functions in a fourth, unique way, as different as dreaming is from sleeping as sleeping is from waking. When you transcend, it's the only experience that lights the full brain on an EEG machine. It's the only experience that utilizes the full brain.
