I just completed a new one! “The Story of Home” This is my new favorite (of course).
The format is inspired by Annie Leonard and The Story of Stuff. Take a look at storyofstuff.org if you have not seen these movies. I watch them and decided I needed to do a straight-shooting clear piece about my message.
This message is about what I’m learning from my teacher, Maharaji, that I can find great goodies inside myself. Good advice. And he helps me big time when I try to find them.
My favorite movie is the 25-second ad I made for the series, “Treasure!” It is on the DVD and I just added it to the website.
I just lowered the price for the Treasure Inside DVD … Only $10!
DVD sales help support Treasure Inside. Every purchase sends about $5 to this project. All of these funds, 100%, goes directly to the expenses that come with creating these movies. The more $ that is received, the more movies that can be finished!
Santa Claus Is Dismissed and Learns of Inner Gifts, According to New Online Video
Doylestown, PA December 14, 2011 Santa Claus, internationally-known bearer of gifts and good tidings, was recently relieved of all of his Christmas responsibilities, due to an allegedly widespread appreciation of inner resources. A video, entitled “No Thanks, Santa!”, is circulating widely over the Internet, and explaining the reasons for this sudden dismissal. This video shows Mr. Claus’s strong emotional reaction to the news. The news was delivered yesterday by Joel Metzger, of Doylestown, PA, US, who gives five reasons for appreciating the gifts of life that come every day. Evidently this appreciation is widely shared and indicates a new general awareness of the qualities within, rather than possessions and items in physical reality.
Joel thanks Mr. Claus for his work and speaks highly of his effort to bring gifts to good children around the world, but then goes on to say, “The times are changing. I’ve been looking inside myself and discovering what I already have.” Mr. Claus is shown in the video losing his consistently jolly disposition and vociferously weeping. Joel tries to console Mr. Claus, saying, “Good luck finding another job” and he suggests, “Check the department stores downtown. They hire people like you every Christmas. Joel walks away with his arm on Mr. Claus’s shoulders, leaving viewers with the question, “Has Joel spoken harmfully to this all-time hero, or do we indeed have gifts inside of us?”
The video “No Thanks, Santa!” can be watched on the web at the Treasure Inside website along with a series of 13 videos about gifts that are allegedly possessed by every person every day. To watch this video, go to http://www.SantaDismissal.net Visitors can see all the movies in this series by going to http://www.TreasureInside.net The series of videos is also available in a DVD collection, found on the above website.
(Three Minutes)New Movie from Treasure Inside
A local magazine, The Observer, just came out with this article about me and the Treasure Inside movies. A great article! This is a small monthly magazine for news in the Doylestown area.
Click here for a PDF of that article!
I was told that these movies may be shown regularly in the Words of Peace programming. That’s international broadcasts of Maharaji’s talks. Wow! More than I could hope for.
So I am working on versions that would be better for broadcast: shorter and cleaner. These are the ones finished so far:
