The second half of the book comprises recollections by Khyentse Rinpoche’s wife; his grandson and spiritual heir, Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche; Tenga Rinpoche; Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche; Orgyen Topgyal Rinpoche; Kenpo Pema Sherab; the Queen Mother of Bhutan; Trulshik Rinpche; and Pewar Tulku.
Brilliant Moon; Glimpses of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Brilliant Moon: Glimpses of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche chronicles the life of the writer, poet, and meditation master Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, one of Tibet’s most revered 20th-century Buddhist teachers. Known as the teacher of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Royal Family of Bhutan, his life and teachings were an inspiration to all who encountered him. Two of his admirers are Richard Gere and Lou Reed, who provide the narration for his dangerous journey out of China and the subsequent spread of his influence around the world.
Brilliant Moon was filmed in Tibet, India, Bhutan, the United States and Nepal, and uses animation, rare archival footage, and photos, along with new interviews with some of Tibet’s great teachers, to tell Khyentse Rinpoche’s moving life story, from birth to death to rebirth.
Written and directed by Neten Chokling (Milarepa movie), a student of Khyentse Rinpoche, and filmed in Tibet, India, Bhutan, Nepal and the United States, Brilliant Moon uses animation, previously unseen archival footage and photos along with new interviews of Tibet’s great teachers, to tell Khyentse Rinpoche’s moving life story, from birth to death to rebirth. This is an intimate, moving and revelatory look at a transcendent spiritual being.
Based on the best selling book by medium Chico Xavier, the film tells the story of Andre Luiz, a successful doctor who experiences an enlightening spiritual awakening after his death. When he wakes up in the spiritual world, he embarks on a new journey of self-discovery and transformation, from his first days in a dimension of pain and suffering, until when he is rescued and taken to the spiritual Astral City. With magnificent art direction and special effects that have never been seen before in a Brazilian production, and featuring an amazing score by composer Philip Glass, the film brings to the screen what life is like at the Astral City that hovers in the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere.

-Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn Magazine
You simply feel different, you may not look any different but you know something has changed internally. Your old ways are falling by the wayside and the real you is starting to emerge.
-An increase in occurrences of coincidence
Better known as synchronicity, favourable people and beneficial circumstance start to appear with exactly what you need. Answers to questions are revealed to you through signs and messages. Synchronicity is a sign you are on the right track and that you are aware of these miracles happening around you. The more you notice and take heed, the more they appear so show appreciation for the guidance you are receiving.
-Quicker manifestations
Spiritual awakening raises your vibration; this involves a release of blockages which allows abundance to flow to you. Being in alignment with a higher vibration results in quicker and more beneficial manifestations to be received by you. Be aware of your thoughts so you get what you really want or better.
-Paying more attention to the details of daily life
-A desire to enroll in a classroom of “higher” learning
-Seeking new friends and groups who are interested in the Integrated life of the spirit (meaning balance in mind-body-spirit)
-Going to new places and moving outside of your comfort zone
For many of you, this is allowing yourself to ask questions in groups, to talk to “strangers” and to let go of your fears of looking uninformed in front of others.
-Sense of your own power to create with thought, words, and actions
-A feeling that you are somehow different, with new skills and gifts emerging, especially healing ones.
-Increased integrity
You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth.
-A knowing sense of connectedness / Oneness
You have an abiding knowing from within of the intrinsic inter-relatedness of everything, both living and non-living. You have a sense that now your life is a living manifestation of this Truth, and that you are It — as are all people
The film “Awakening” now has more than 1/4 million views on YouTube. It has been featured on countless sites dedicated to sharing truth and creating new possibilities in the world. I’ve been privileged to receive so much feedback from people who have gone through similar things – or people who share a sense of a greater shift occurring at this time.
Despite a greater current happening in the world, each of us is the catalyst for freedom in our own lives. The busy-ness and challenges of the world can sometimes obscure our happiness and freedom, and occupy us in seemingly endless conflicts or habits of separation. Films like these are here to remind us of our deeper priorities, and offer the overwhelming evidence that not everything is what it seems – that whatever our circumstances, there is something beyond – hints of a greater Self.
I look forward to continuing to befriend people on facebook.
~ Roger Ingraham
A spiritual shift is occurring. Many people around the world have found themselves on the verge of something vast, and their experiences can’t be explained. This film introduces the awakening and illustrates the unprecedented number of lives affected by this shift.
Jonas Elrod was leading an ordinary life until he woke up one day to a totally new reality. He suddenly could see and hear angels, demons, auras and ghosts.
The documentary movie WAKE UP follows this fascinating story of an average guy who inexplicably developed the ability to access other dimensions. Physicians gave him a clean bill of health and were unable to provide an explanation. What was it? Why was it happening to him? One thing was certain for this 36-year old man – life as he had known it would never be the same.
With his loving but skeptical girlfriend by his side, Jonas crisscrosses the country as he searches for answers and delves deeper into this thrilling world of the phenomenal and spiritual. Along the way, he encounters an amazing group of religious teachers, scientists, mystics and spiritual healers who help him piece together this intricate puzzle.
Llewellyn Vaughn-Lee & Jonas
The film shows how all of us can search inward for our own peace and happiness while contributing towards a positive shift in global consciousness. WAKE UP is a call to consciousness to everyone who sees it; an invitation to accept that there is more to this life than meets the eye.
This are series of uploaded video clips of the film Wake up showcasing interviews with many renowned scientists, teachers and spiritual leaders such as JZ Knight, Sufi mystic Lllewellyn Vaughn-Lee, Stephan A. Schwartz PhD, Gary E. Schwartz PhD, Abdi Assadi, Zen Roshi Joan Halifax and Roger Nelson PhD.
Stay tuned, continue viewing the video clips – they are more than 30 over of them.
A Closer Look at Wake Up By Ruth Baron
Oprah.com
Jonas Elrod and Mara Evans
In our interview with the filmmaker Jonas Elrod and his girlfriend, Mara Evans, we find out why spiritual awakening can come over a slice of pizza.
When Jonas Elrod began seeing angels, demons, auras and ghosts that were invisible to those around him, he turned to scientific and spiritual communities to find out why. His investigation, documented in the film Wake Up, which has its premiere October 16 on OWN, turned into a larger search for meaning and inner peace. We checked in with Jonas and his girlfriend, Mara, to find out more about the film, how their lives have changed and how anyone can enter the spiritual world.
Oprah.com: Jonas, in the film, you attempt to tap into your inner consciousness while also seeking a global or universal connection. Can we talk about what “consciousness” means?
Jonas: I guess you would call it the spirit, or source, or guide. I would say—this may sound incredibly blasphemous to some people—but we’re all part of God. So I try to stay conscious and aware and treat other people as if they were God, as if they’re me.
Oprah.com: How have your beliefs evolved since you started working on this film? Jonas: One thing that came through to me is that I am not afraid of death. Consciousness, spirit, soul, whatever you want to call it, certainly survives. That was always, like for many of us, a huge fear of mine.
Mara: We’re going to be afraid of things in life. I’ve learned to separate being afraid from being sort of nervous. That sounds like such a slight, little thing, but it can really make a huge difference in how you make choices in your life. For me, that’s meant dropping the constant need to question Jonas and every single person he ever interviewed, and every single fan who comes up and talks to him.
Oprah.com: What was the process of coming to terms with your fears and doubts like?
Jonas: It’s not an overnight thing. This took a lot of internal work and a lot of stumbling and struggling to see it. I think my biggest answers came when I quit looking outside and was able to sit alone with my thoughts and meditate and look inward. I make jokes about this. This could have been a really short film; I probably could have just meditated in my living room for a couple weeks, and that could have been it.
Mara: I guess it’s a little bit of faith, but when I would be really confused or really skeptical, I was able to let it go because I remembered the first miracle I had, which was meeting Jonas, and [I remembered] how deeply I love this man. When you have that concrete base under your feet of loving somebody, you’re like, “Okay, these little birds that are running around my head up here annoying me with these questions, I do not have to have an answer immediately—or have an answer at all.”
Oprah.com: Mara, what advice would you give someone who doesn’t have Jonas’ ability to see things but who still wants to tap into her inner consciousness?
Mara: I think by simply asking the questions and being willing to go on the journey, and willing to be inquisitive and curious and explore, is enough nourishment to start to feed something on the inside of you that will start a connection with something bigger than yourself. It doesn’t have to be this extraordinary firework kind of thing.
Jonas: I always emphasize that you could run a marathon and have that be your truth. You don’t have to see spirits running through the living room to get to these places. Anyone can meditate. Anyone can pray.
In our interview with Jonas Elrod and his girlfriend, Mara Evans, we find out why spiritual awakening can come over a slice of pizza.
Oprah.com: You interviewed so many different scientists and spiritual leaders for the film. What mistakes did you see people make as they tried to tap into their consciousness?
Jonas: I met so many great people who helped point me in the right direction, but also it was up to me to arrive at that truth, and the only way I could do it was literally turning inside because those answers are in each and every one of us. Mara: Pride can start to be an ugly thing sometimes within people. I feel like the danger zone is when you’re setting out on this journey to find something bigger than yourself: The swamp areas that you can fall into are things like being too prideful about what you’re doing. “Oh, look at me. I’m going out on this safari, this soul safari, and look at my amazing hat while I’m doing it.”
Oprah.com: Mara, even though you don’t see the same things Jonas does, you also have an awakening in the film when a Buddhist monk tells you what your name means. Can you two talk about that?
Jonas: It was beautiful. And almost kind of hilarious—I had worked for years and years to come to this place, and she had this shift eating a piece of pizza. It took five minutes, and it was very profound for her and very real.
Mara: A lot of people walking on this planet hike to the tops of the mountain seeking all of these answers, and then there are people who are like, “I don’t really have a whole lot of questions, and I don’t really need a whole lot of answers,” and that’s totally okay too. With my own awakening, you see in the film, I’m eating a piece of pizza, and all of a sudden, this lighthearted little joke takes this huge nosedive down into my heart and into my soul. So, it’s okay if you don’t feel that you need to go to the peak of the mountain in order to find exactly who you are. You might find it over a slice of pizza like I did.
Oprah.com: Do you live your lives differently since you’ve finished the movie?
Jonas: I have rituals. I meditate, but I don’t wear robes or burn incense with 300 candles in the room. I just keep the spiritual at the core. It doesn’t mean I talk about it all the time, because no one really wants to hear that constantly. But when something good or when something challenging comes up, I rely on the inner voice that I hear, instead of taking it personally. Anything that happens that we call bad, I understand that it’s there to help push me forward, not to pull me back.
Mara: Internally, I feel more calm having this whirlwind of a spiritual experience. I find that life is just as hard. In the past year, I’ve lost my father. I’ve lost the family farm that I grew up on. I’ve lost my precious uncle. So much loss has happened in my life in the past year, and I’ve handled it. I never imagined what life would be like on this planet without having my father in it. But I’m finding that concrete base, and that love in the relationships that I’ve built up, because of Jonas, because of my new perspective. No matter how hard I feel life shaking me, that concrete base is still there.
