I AM – TOM SHADYAC

Some time ago, I made a decision to remove as much negative energy from my life as I could so I slowly removed myself from people and things that created an atmosphere of negativity.   I believe the one of the most important things that I let go of was television, especially the news.  Many people do not realize how much anxiety and stress television causes – to me television is very schizophrenic, buy this, do that, eat this, watch that, etc…. The news reports mostly negative events happening around the world – reports on war, increasing tensions between countries and people, death, destruction, murder, famine and countless other horrendous things.  All this is usually being watched before you go to work, after you come home from work and usually prior to going to sleep.  Do you not think that by watching all this negative reporting that these stories will not have a negative impact on your day?  Will I certainly did and that is why I stopped watching. 

I do my best to watch programs/movies that will enlighten me or that have a message to promote positivity into the world.  Recently, I had the pleasure of watching a fantastic documentary called I AM by Tom Shadyac.  The basis of the film is to answer the questions:  What is Wrong With the World? and What Can We Do About it?  Tom interviews scientists, religious leaders, environmentalists and philosophers including;  David Suzuki, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Noam Chomsky, Lynne McTaggart, Elisabet Sahtouris, Howard Zinn and Thom Hartmann and asks them what they think. 

Tom’s journey to seek the answers to these questions is profound, emotional and genuine.  Surprisingly enough, most of us do know the answers to these questions but we really don’t think about them enough.  For me, this film was further confirmation that my journey to personal enlightenment and spiritual growth has just begun and that this growth has never felt or looked better.  I continue to be excited about creating positive energy into the world and know that if each of us do our part in creating this change – our world will be a better place.

I encourage all to watch this movie and I hope that it inspires you as it has inspired me.
