This 90-minute film features indigenous elders, a prominent mathematical philosopher, a business futurist and a variety of others Bailey and Marlow have known over many years of developing their understanding of the mechanics of the Universe. The film portrays a synthesis of Bailey’s exploration of expanded consciousness in Santa Cruz and Hawaii in the 1970’s, his broad cross-religious understandings, his anthropological/scientific training in South Africa, and his work with the Bushmen of the Kalahari, combined with Marlow’s extensive time with visionary and shamanic indigenous elders of the Americas, who include Maya from the jungles of Mexico, Ute from the mountains of Colorado, Hopi from the southwest, Lakota from the plains and Wabanaki from Maine. Each of the participants in the film expresses a key facet of a cosmology Marlow and Bailey feel brings necessary information to the prevailing paradigm. Bailey and Marlow believe assumptions of interconnectedness, unconditional love, abundance and a loving higher power combined with the scientific understanding of quantum reality will lead humanity on a course to an open heart and a human society living in balance with Universal Law. When they met in 2003, as life-long students of the universe and its workings, it was immediately obvious that they had a common vision and a shared purpose. IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE is the first tangible result of the vision, talent and experience of these two thinkers, photographers and writers. Film makers Marlow and Bailey will be accompanied by a very special guest Tlakaelel Francisco Jimenez Sanchez was given the title ‘Tlakaelel' or ‘counselor to the council of Anahuak (meaning the place where eagles soar) in 1947. He is considered the oral protector of Toltec indigenous knowledge, one of the chosen - a seer, a healer and a leader. His spiritual mission has taken him from a humble background near Mexico City around the world. He has no formal education but was, as he puts it, passed from elder to elder as a boy, learning wisdom passed down the ages. He's been struck by lightening four times and spent some fifteen years living in the mountains learning to listen to the lore of Nature. For decades he has been a champion for indigenous rights throughout America joining with Native Americans and bringing back ceremony and ritual based on ancient rites. But here, at the breakfast table, he is simply a very wise and humble grandfather wiping milk from his graying goatee and apologizing for taking up our time with his musings about the nature of time and space. Andrew Cameron Bailey was born in England in 1943, and grew up in Durban, South Africa, where he graduated with degrees in mathematics, anthropology, English and chemistry. He lectured in organic chemistry in South Africa, before emigrating to America in 1969. In the US he became involved with the consciousness-expansion movement of the 1970’s in California and Hawaii; he completed a masters degree in English, and raised a family of 5 children in the Hamptons in eastern Long Island, while pursuing his passions: photography, filmmaking, writing and the study of the nature of the universe. |
