- 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.
ua-cam.com/video/X_XVisCvUBs/v-deo.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 spent 13 years in the university learning how to think and now I'm spending the rest of my life learning how to not think" Legit. I've spent my life re- remembering, over & over, how to not think & just be.
❤
Absolutely.
I hear you 👍❤️
Thinking is not a process belongs to you.if it is,you should be able to stop thoughts that hert you.what you should learn is how not to react thoughts.
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 ❤
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 am deeply touched by watching your story Michael.
Thankyou Michael 🙂
I was so in love with the beauty of that mans soul and connection to earth no words
Thank you for inspiring us and sharing.
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.
"What the whole culture needs right now is how to find wealth without needing to exploit everything". Brilliant words from a brilliant person
Agree wholeheartedly
❤
Wow, I think this comment is amazing after seeing all the spam cleaned up within the comment section where people can actualy express truth without worry! Do you think these artists want shallow connections when they share so much? Personaly I like the comment!!!!
the problem is the notion of 'wealth' in a financial sense...
Yes, wealth should always eliminate the possibility it is obtained by exploitation.
“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” - Vincent Van Gogh
Amen 🙏
I know. :) I do. :)
I feel so strong the presence of God in all kind of nature, specially in forests, mountains and jungles.
Great, love nature
lovely movie, beautiful colors🍀, love flowers, love sounds
“There’s two strains of spirituality. One of them is just loving what’s beautiful and positive. But the other one is in trancending that and seeing everything as beautiful and positive.” -Michael
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.
❤
Yes beautifully said
From the moment it started I knew that this was a piece of magic. By the time it finished it was total bliss
I am truly humbled by all that is contained in this, from brilliance to simplicity to heart
It is complete 🌌
Following your bliss
will open all doors
❤
Here is a math genius who chose to eject from a future as an academic human-doing, and evolve into a beautiful human being living in tandem with other sentient beings. A deeply immersive film of sacred geometry. A joy to meet you today, Michael!💙
Wow where did h meet him 🎉that's neat 🐬 lol
Great phrase "human doing".
Beauti-Full in-DEED ❤
Pure love in paradise itself, is all i see in Michael!!!
It's a truly beauti-FULL❤ and loveliest of life anyone on eart-h can ever experience and from the depth of my h-eart, i just KNOW that this, great movie, has to be, my favorite movie ever.
Thank you and all who contributed to the making of all of it❤with all the consideration it verily did deserve❤

I met Michael 15 years or so ago at LP on Maui. I never forgot him; what a character, and with such great stories. He was friends with my old man. Their enthusiasm for the dolphins was something to be admired.
My younger brother died several weeks ago in a car accident. I stumbled across this film but I feel like he sent it to me. He also lived by choice outside mainstream expectations and his philosophy was compassion. Michael’s story connected many ideas for me, while helping me feel close to my brother. Thank you 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss...
every time I see this video, I think about my dad, who passed away a year ago. AND while watching I meet him again... Hannah, I wish you the best. You are still loved by your brother....
Souls of our loved ones reach out to us in many ways to give us insight and peace. Continue to stay tuned. 😇🙏
Take Care Hannah. Peace & harmony. 💜🙏
Hannah Mueller 🌿 Younger brother is watching you and will care for you forever 💕
So great that he bravely & without a hard exoskeleton faced impermanence at every turn, ending the math genius career, mentors dying, girlfriend leaving, first bamboo house dying back to earth, every perilous ocean baptism swim, the Portuguese man o' war initiation, after which the dolphins eventually took him in & later invited him to a far off shore party that would have possibly drowned him, then his foreseeing the current house returning to jungle upon his demise. 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.
Hear, hear!!
So beautifully said
you should be a writer
I would imagine time, loneliness and suffering aloud him the chance to soften that shell... to be aloud moments with the winds of wisdom inside of space and time that had no other distractions, to be human and alone without the ping of a phone. A good life :)
Well spoken ❤️
😭😭😭 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.
God bless you❤
I've become of alcohol addiction/ drug addiction through Alcoholics Anonymous. Give it a try . May God bless you and be free and joyful and light
I hope you are doing well.
Your words are very deep! I can feel your anxiety… learn to meditate and create your own heaven. It’s not where you are, the answer is inside of you!
Follow your heart. It's ok to move from family.

There are few people on the path that I really feel. This man is one of the most genuinely enlightened people I've ever seen...he is real...he's soul satisfyingly real.

Look up Andrew Wommack's A Better Way To Pray and Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
Like seeing on UA-cam people boiling dogs and cats alive?
Sorry I don’t see that as beautiful.
@@Geezerelli missing the point though. Everything is on its journey even suffering and all who inflict suffering also. This is true compassion.
@@JC-du6sn Thankyou his words don’t resonate with me at all and I won’t be donating but I am definitely being shown and led by the hand of God. Blessings my friend 🙏
@@tombstone7577(1) Would you mind sharing your thoughts please? (2) I’m curious if you believe in reincarnation … and that we are then both suffers and those perpetrating suffering … until we reach a level of certain enlightenment … and then we don’t reincarnate as physical entities (on Earth) per se. (3) I don’t watch the videos (it’s too upsetting) Pasquale is talking about, (even if it’s a UA-cam 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?
Such a beautiful moment where he talks about the pain of the jellyfish stings somehow connecting him with the suffering of others. That really spoke to me. Thanks for this documentary!
We all are connected… we are one… but in our “my””me” materialistic society we are disconnected to the field of synchronicity. We are spiritual beings… what affects one affects all… our world is a reflection of human internal chaos… imagine if each being was at peace with self… living in a state of compassion and joy…
What a wonderful world we can create…may love consciousness be yours 💕☮️
I can relate with this moment; I sometimes feel this way.
I have Endometriosis, I go through pain every month... and on some of the especially horrible times.. I've had this same 'transcendence' as he describes in the film. It is such a beautiful take away to have that connection...I love how he is immediately in acceptance of the pain also... he knew being angry or fearful won't help.. I didnt know that when i was young, and it made things worse !
Yes I agree.. Wow. So. Connected to everyone.
@@AlexAndra-bb6du beautifully said. There is a beautiful, magical world out there for all of us, just to be dis-covered. We are all connected. Sending you my love.
A million bows to Michael and thousand thanks to the makers. A true story that perfectly explains the Art of life. Felt alive like never before.
❤️
Yes Yes Yes ❤
Michael is a beautiful example of the right way to live. Thanks to all of the producers and people involved in this film making. ❤❤❤
YES !!! Michael's words, feelings and mode of life really shows us the Art of Life !!! It's true that I want to also recognize the makers of this, because the film is made with such a sensitivity and high consciousness of the real, that it's obvious they're also in the spiritual path 🙂 NAMASTE.

When Joseph Campbell said " follow your bliss" Seems Michael was wise enough to do so.
Especially poignant and meaningful to watch this today, in honor of Maui and all sacred beings everywhere.
@elizabethrosner7353
Do you know if Michael survived the fire? I've found this jewel of a film only today.
It's possible, that if the fire reached his habitat, that Michael sat quiet for a while, and said "This is a good day to die" ♥️👋🧙♀️

This man is blessed with the deepest intelligence. He knew to value, respect, and live with nature. Instead of spending most of his life chasing dollars, he has lived with true freedom. By living simply, he has the freedom to spend his hours doing what he really wants to do. He has compassion, peace, joy, reverence, and freedom; his has been a life well lived.
Thank you to Michael and the film makers for letting us see such a beautiful person and life.
Yes, it is nice to see that a sharp intelligence doesn´t have to obscure the fuzzy intelligence. Intellect is not the enemy, it can be a powerful ally. But he was a mathematician. They are impractical beings anyway, so they are ahead of the game.
Thank you so much Michael! I am so blessed to meet you even only hear.Much Love 😘😇

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! 🙏🏼💙
Thank you for sharing on your channel...otherwise I would have never found it!
Thank you John!!!! It's an honor to receive your support!
Such a beautiful 'comment'. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. All the best to you and yours.
Awesome !!
Yes! The movie is saying something, like Michael is saying something (unlike his algebra book that didn't say anything [about life])
The fool on the hill sees the sun going down, and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round... (Beatles). Beauty, innate wealth, empathy, connection. It's all there in this guy's lifestyle. His deep, emotional response to the stinging jellyfish and the playful dolphins was very moving.
no it Brazil 66 that wrote that.
Beatles wrote it, on "Magical Mystery Tour."
Brazil 66 covered it very well.
Yes . Love & Light
"The fool who knows he's a fool is only half a fool" ~ provides hope for me still
By plan or coincidence this film premiered on Apri 1st 2022 (April Fools Day) LOL

The part where he shared how he opened the door to how tortured souls felt for a moment was profound. I really felt that. Thanks for this beautiful movie.

This was a nice vacation from the pain of cancer that I’m dealing with. I’m glad Michael had a chance to get to know the dolphins so well. He needed that and maybe the dolphins needed him too.

1. Loving everything that is positive and beautiful.
2. Transcending that to include everything as beautiful.
This came to me from out of nowhere, when I most needed it. It touched me so deeply. I have dreamt of living like this. I have dear friends on Maui and I hope they know this beautiful being. Hawaii is where my heart is. I have spent time on all the islands, mostly Molokai. I stayed with a man named Hal who took me too a sacred place, a pond -only steps from the ocean, but filled with freshwater that came down from the Pali. This is where I will go when I die. To be free. Thank you for this remembering.
Wow… when he described being able to feel others pain is such a touching display of empathy and compassion, def had me in tears… What a great human 🙏🏻❤️
"It's too much fun to be able to stop." I kinda see this existence like that. Like, despite all the pain and horror and uncertainty, we are here doing this because it is fun to have this experience in apparent duality. I mean, what fun is eternity in the void? 🙃
You’ll be surprised.
@@michaelg1569 I hope you're right, but how do you know?
@@SarahDale111 From my experience the void is just the opposite of what you might think.
@@michaelg1569 Well, I don't think I actually know anything. I suppose in nospace/notime, noone knows nothing, which leaves nothing to complain about.
What do you know?
@@michaelg1569 I guess I don't understand how one can have an experience of the void. I took 5meo dmt one time, and my experience was that "I" disappeared and then "I" appeared to return. There was no experience of the void.
I came upon this video by chance and made me think very deeply on my own life, I am 70 years old, I connected to the message of this person living in Hawaii. Yes a remarkable person indeed. My life is turning on his direction, more spirituality is getting into me every day, thinking about the beauty that surrounds us, the pleasure of feeling the sun and breathing air. Thank you sir
I lived in Hawaii and did my doctoral program there, and Buddhism taught me about suffering. I relate so much to this man.
One of the most amazing documentaries I've ever seen. As a person with strong backgrounds in Buddhism, math, and science this was so wonderfully amazing, stimulating and calming. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you to Michael, Zaya, and Maurizio for the making of this film!
Here a video update of Michael at 82... :-) ua-cam.com/video/X_XVisCvUBs/v-deo.html
I was so struck by Michael. I have never known anyone who lived in absolute accordance to his truest self. The beauty he has created is an extension of his inner self. 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
Yes, he has his own paradise (the garden, sweet cabin, natural surroundings where he lives in) on earth, and enjoys swimming with the dolphins every day, wow, like a fairy tale life, very inspiring and enlightening to me, truly.
He made me think of a movie
" cast away" again and again
But it is truely beatiful indeed
on god
What an amazing way to begin my day! I remember hanging out with 'Professor Michael' at Little Beach throughout the early 90's. And the dolphin days at the bay. Michael was always a kind & gentle uncle figure for all of us at that time. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to hear him share his story. Mahalo Nui Loa to all involved in this project.

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
My life just changed. I realized that I was holding my breath for the beauty of this man's life.
One of the best documentaries I have ever watched. I could sit all day long listening to Uncle Michael share his wisdom. May the universe continue to bless him, and I wish him more strength and good health. With love from Namibia
Michael talking about emptiness and the lack of inherent existence, seeing things as they truly are, brought tears to my eyes and made me prostrate with my hands at my heart. Thank you
I just saw the document for the 5th time. It's such a blessing listening to Michael. Thank you all who made this document! 🙏
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!
politeness is a euphemism for socialism, mutual cooperation. This is communist propaganda

Really loved this! Thank you for filming and letting him share his views and life. So amazing!
wow. i feel changed after watching this - talk about walking the walk. swimming the swim!
hugely inspiring - a deep and heartfelt thank you to Michael and the filmmakers 🙏
In his own description of how he defined non duality with being stung by the jellyfish and being w that intense physical pain alone and how it triggered his more profound definition of this philosophy to his own life really kind of explained it perfectly for myself anyway. This was a beautiful film I loved the ending with the production team joining in. Joyous!!!
I could watch this over again. Thank you so much for bringing us this stories.
Thank you, Michael, thank you Producers... breathtaking (and breath-giving). What a gift for those who can hear it xx
What a beautiful soul! It’s so encouraging to see others living in states of true freedom. I loved what he said about us watching the sun set instead of the earth spinning! Totally changed my perspective! 💗
Exquisite film!

A gift of an authentic human that serves as inspiration. No words can express the gratitude I have for this film
Can’t thank you enough for this great movie, I’ve watched it many times and keep watching it over and over again
Very inspirational. What an amazing soul. I could understand why the dolphins took him into their pod - he spoke their language.
Loved this so much! Thank you for sharing it with us all. Such a gem Michael is, and a master teacher through his simple presence that I would not have been able to bear witness if it wasn't for your efforts. Bravo and thank you!
I love the enthusiasm and optimism Michael expresses on many levels.
I stumbled upon this documentary and how happy I did. Michael teaches us, when we are one with nature, there is not much else we need. Thank you for sharing your journey Michael which has inspired me.
Great documentary, beautifully recorded, really what the whole life experience is all about! Freedom and in balance with nature. Kudos for all collaborative personnel working on this.
What an AMAZING piece of art this is!!! from the stories to the videography and music! Just STUNNING!!! You guys needs SO much recognition and blessings for bringing this to us in the most beautiful way. The amount of work and talent to create this is mind blowing! Huge thank you!!
Oh thank you Michael and film crew...I needed this. Your respectful ongoing love for and from the pod of Dolphins...with the beautiful camera work soothed my soul.
The amount of resonance this had with my soul and my own journey really made just embrace the path even more
What a masterpiece to watch. Thanks to both of you for jumping in, for talking to him on the beach, to his yoga tree. The spirit of this production is pure bliss and non conformity. The realm of the very brave.
Much love

AH YES! The Yoga Tree! 🌷
I am so grateful for this man and his story. Thank-you.
This movie, his lifestyle, and all the words he speaks are pure beauty. Thank you for creating such amazing content in a world that desperately needs more of this 🙏❤️
The exquisite beauty of leaves and flowers / plants surely is perfection. May us humans always treat them with the honor they deserve.
This interview brought tears to my eyes and made my heart leap. Thank you for sharing this incredible account.
Gratitude in abundance for the beauty of this man's heart & mind. Gratitude in abundance to you guys for making the perfect documentary that encapsulates & communicates the spirit of Michael. Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed watching this (twice already) Peace x
Thank you! I listened intently and saved so I can listen again and again and share with others so they can listen again and again. You are amazing. Thank you again
Zaya and Maurizio, thank you for sharing this again. Truly an inspiration!
I cried so much through this...Thank you, Michael and those who created this beautiful movie. 🙏
This spoke to me in ways that words can not do justice. Thank you!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing Michael. It’s wonderful that you have learnt so much and keep learning about life through life itself. So vulnerable and honest and inspiring ❤ Thank you
That was brilliant and beautiful. What a life well-lived. Thank you for sharing this special gift--both the film and the man.
This is gold. Thank you so much for this incredible piece of art.
This is moving behind languages ability to describe, he’s a beautiful soul and I’m so thankful I got to experience this and him. Thank you.
Thank you Michael for your life in bringing this joy to all of us. May your life continue to be expressed in this earth forest.
Thank you for this.
I love this so much. He is really so clever, and reminds me of many of the people I met during my time in Hawaii. It's just a different way of life out there (and in my opinion, better) where high emphasis is put on living and being, while money is at the bottom of all priorities.
