AS A LIFELONG LOVER OF THE OCEAN and particularly the dolphins, the subject of this film was immediately gripping and enthralling for me. I was just as easily mesmerized by the fluidity of shots, such as the adept blending of surf waveforms shot from below as liquid light roiling overhead. These in turn featured transitions and segue ways to both human forms and sea life to make for jaw dropping gapes into a profound sense of freedom in a zero gravity atmosphere and its close affiliation with Spirit.

GLOBUS documents the awesome beauty of Planet Ocean and our relationship to Spirit portrayed as liquid light. It presents a stunning visual meditation on human consciousness and our relationship to nature as well as access to sensations of freedom in this sea of bliss we call existence. Kudos are in order!

Surfing and documentary filmmakers, Jeff Hornbaker and Albert Falzon have co-created a sequence of masterful visual poems profusely acknowledging our divine global connectivity. GLOBUS brilliantly portray our human consciousness as an integral part of the spectral array of light and liquid forms that make up our reality. Shown united in beauty and bliss, their vignettes exist as sacred prayers for peace and harmony for our world. We are all part of the ONE, is the simple yet powerful message of unity sewn throughout the visual and written passages. There is no narrative voice, only the melodic sound spaces of world beat music to meld the images like a finely crafted instrument.

They invariably make their point again and again so we might begin to form an experiential awareness of what it actually feels like to be so free and connected to Spirit. In one entire sequence, the camera focuses on several bottlenose dolphins as they surf/glide the bow wake of a large ship. At one point one of the creatures rolls to its side to glance back at the viewer, appearing to exude an etheric sigh of delight along with a knowing glimpse into his effortless and blissful existence. Coupled with the dynamic music tracks one is moved to transindental states of non-attachment, past the material plane. These Earthly realms are ostensibly rendered from The Dreamtime. Thus, this film can be viewed countless times and in any order and still achieve its enchanting affect upon us. Like any great work of art, it remains fresh with each viewing and may well reflect some different aspect of our own being with each screening.

This film also succeeds as a Tantric artform at its most sophisticated level. It seduces us with titillating sights and sounds while aiming even higher at a point of enlightenment beyond that of mere touch. The sheer magnitude of love contained in each frame and sequence of the various chapters contained in this 70 minute five course feast, serves to delight the viewer with caresses of sensual ecstasy and pathways of spiritual rapture. Each segment is autonomous and yet joins together to create an even larger holodynamic piece of synergistic conformity.

Perhaps the most endearing quality of this beautifully crafted mosaic of living light is that it is being presented as a gift to all who may chance to see it. A simple token of offering for the viewer to take at whatever level they may choose or are capable. It makes no demands but only provides a window of opportunity to step beyond the confines of a heavy world of violence and war, greed and poverty, and see the ultimate beauty and perfection of that which is a part of our liquidness, that flowing nature at the level of our soul. This gift of love should not go unnoticed. It belongs in every DVD collection to be used as fast track tickets to the freedom of spiritual bliss.
