Awakening Mind Films 
Part 3, “Liberation” (Coming in 2025)

"If the mind is turned inwards towards the source of thought, where is the individual? The mind merges into its source, the Heart, and dissolves like a salt doll that has fallen into the ocean." —Ramana Maharshi

“Liberation” is the complete dissolution of personal self-identity and unconscious conditioning allowing pure Awareness to flow without obstruction. Through self-inquiry, one turns inward to directly recognize their true nature where meditation and inquiry merge into effortless being.

Key Themes:

•  Dissolution of the Separate Self: Liberation is the complete falling away of personal identity and mental conditioning.
•  Self-Inquiry as the Direct Path: The question "Who am I?" turns attention inward, revealing one’s true nature beyond thought.
•  Effortless Being: As the illusion of self dissolves, practices vanish, leaving only the natural state of Awareness.

This episode features one-on-one Dyads, as practiced in the I Am Retreats led by Dan Schmidt and inspired by the Enlightenment Intensives of Charles Berner. It will also include insightful conversations with Regina Dawn Akers, Michael James, Rupert Spira, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, Neale Donald Walsch, Sri Ramanacharana Tirtha Swami, Louise Kay, Dr. Sarada Natarajan, Amoda Maa, Tom Das, and Helen Hamilton—offering a rich tapestry of perspectives on self-inquiry.
