Podcasts about What Dreams May Come

Today, Michael welcomes Barnet Bain. Barnet is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and teacher known for exploring themes of spirituality, consciousness, creativity, and human connection. His film credits include the Oscar-winning What Dreams May Come, Homeless to Harvard, Milton's Secret, and Jesus, one of the most widely viewed films in history. His latest book, How to Be a Friend (in an Unfriendly World), explores friendship as a spiritual practice and a path toward deeper awareness, compassion, and authentic connection. Please scroll down to find out how to receive Barnet's free gift!  Conversation Highlights include: -A powerful exploration of friendship as a spiritual practice that invites awareness, growth, empathy, and emotional maturity. -Why modern culture conditions people to react quickly, dominate conversations, and avoid the discomfort of true understanding. -The importance of slowing down enough to notice emotional reactions, inherited programming, and the stories shaping our relationships. -A breakdown of the "first, second, and third story" of life, and how awakening begins when we move beyond transactional living. -How authentic friendship becomes a portal into self-awareness, compassion, uncertainty, and spiritual evolution. -A conversation about why modern relationships often become transactional, performative, or rooted in personal validation rather than connection. -Why we can only love others to the degree that we have learned to love and understand ourselves. -A beautiful reflection on honoring another person by allowing yourself to be changed through the relationship rather than trying to control them. -Why deep listening, presence, empathy, and civility are disappearing from modern culture—and how reclaiming them transforms human connection. Finally, a closing meditation guided by Michael to help you return to stillness and awaken to your True nature.

His new book, How to Be a Friend (in an Unfriendly World), offers a tender and practical guide to friendship as a living spiritual practice.Together, we explore why friendship is more than a social bond; it's a profound act of consciousness. Barnet invites us to look closely at the “bubbles” of belief and conditioning that shape our relationships, and to cultivate the courage to step beyond them. He shares what it means to become a “safe harbor” for others, how friendship differs from romantic or family love, and why being a friend to ourselves is the foundation for genuine connection.This conversation is both wise and intimate, weaving together stories from Barnet's creative journey, psychological insights from his Columbia University course, and timeless truths about belonging, vulnerability, and love. It's an episode that reminds us that friendship (when practiced with intention and attention) is a radical form of transformation.Key TakeawaysWhy genuine friendship begins with becoming a safe harbor for yourself and others.How to step outside “the bubble” of your own conditioning to see others more clearly.The difference between friendship, romantic love, and family bonds, and why all are needed.How small, conscious acts of friendship can transform your day and ripple through the world.Why “remembering the love” is the most essential practice of being human.Guest BioBarnet Bain is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and teacher known for his exploration of creativity, consciousness, and connection.

In 1980, Stephen Simon produced the film Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer. In 1998, he produced What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams, Annabella Sciorra, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. On January 3, 2018, my wife and forever love Lauren suddenly passed away in her sleep. She was only 54. Six weeks later, Lauren began to communicate with Stephen…and in October 2018, they started writing the book "What Dreams Have Come: Loving Through The Veil". Wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandparents, and many others have experienced communication with loved ones who preceded them beyond the veil that separates life and what comes after life.Stephen Simon graduated from UCLA and Loyola Law School, entered the movie business in 1976, ran the film companies of legendary producers Ray Stark and Dino de Laurentiis, produced such films as Somewhere in Time and What Dreams May Come, co-founded The Spiritual Cinema Circle in 2004, and wrote the books The Force is With You and Bringing Back the Old Hollywood.Please enjoy my conversation with Stephen Simon.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Daria Lavelle discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. Daria Lavelle was born in Kyiv, immigrated to the US with her family as a child and now lives in New Jersey with her husband and their three children. She holds a BA from Princeton University and an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College. She writes fiction, with short stories published in a variety of US outlets. Aftertaste is her debut novel. It's already sold into 13 territories with a major motion picture in development. It is available at https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/aftertaste-daria-lavelle/7752339 Putting Salt on Fruit - the easiest way to elevate and bring out the deepest flavors of your food (even out of season)! But one that most people don't think of combining with their fruit dishes. Opera for Fantasy Lovers - Opera is woefully unfashionable among younger people, and most high-fantasy and speculative fiction lovers I know have no interest in this stuffy art form, and yet, some of the most formative and epic and compelling narratives ever presented are operatic in form. The Hoboken, NJ food scene - New York (and Brooklyn, and Queens) get most of the love and accolades for their restaurant offerings, but Hoboken, NJ, is like the best kept secret of Italian-American cuisine and fabulous cocktails. The film What Dreams May Come - this 1998 film is largely forgotten / unknown among anyone under the age of 30, but it's worth revisiting as one of the most interesting and beautiful explorations of death, grief, love, and the Afterlife. Family Recipes - this is perhaps an imperative to listeners to take the time to learn their family recipes from their older generations. Finding Your Tribe - I'd love to talk about several ways this has been true in my life, from writing cohorts to mom groups with my kids, to the debut groups I'm part of this year as I move toward publication.

Robin Williams was an Oscar-winning actor and comedian best known for his improvisational skills. From his role as a radio broadcaster in “Good Morning Vietnam” to his portrayal of a man grappling with the karmic repercussions of his wife in “What Dreams May Come,” he had a powerful repertoire. Robin died 10 years ago today at the age of 63. The official cause of death was ruled a suicide. On the anniversary of his passing, we remember the incredible person he was, and celebrate his many successes on and off the big screen with his son Zak.This episode originally aired on August 11, 2024.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

WHO'S READY TO SOB? Seriously, like more than once. This week, in a very trigger-heavy episode, the siblings unpack one of Robin Williams' more devastating films, What Dreams May Come (1998). Carie puts Ross through the emotional woodchipper that is the story of Chris Nielsen and his family's arduous journey from life to death to ACTUAL Hell. Carie has some reading from the book the movie is based upon, Ross completely derails the recording over a Family Guy bit, and the siblings consider what they might look like in the afterlife.  Help is available.

Robin Williams was an Oscar-winning actor and comedian best known for his improvisational skills. From his role as a radio broadcaster in “Good Morning Vietnam” to his portrayal of a man grappling with the karmic repercussions of his wife in “What Dreams May Come,” he had a powerful repertoire. Robin died 10 years ago today at the age of 63. The official cause of death was ruled a suicide. On the anniversary of his passing, we remember the incredible person he was, and celebrate his many successes on and off the big screen with his son Zak.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So many thoughts pass through our minds in a day, but for most of us, few of them have much to do with what God has suggested we think about. What might happen if we could change our perspective? May this podcast by host Julie Harwick bless you!  *** Welcome to Women World Leaders podcast. I'm your host, Julie Harwick. Thank you for joining me today as we celebrate God's grace in our lives, in this ministry and around the world. Sylvester Foster Porter was the pastor of the small Christian and Missionary Alliance church we attended during my junior high years. In his early 70's, he and his wife, Helen, were recently retired from being missionaries to the Philippines. They were old school. She played the organ and I never saw her wear anything but a dress, pantyhose and low-heeled pumps – never!  He preached through the bible, verse by verse, taking more than two years to get through Revelation. He had several mannerisms that always brought inappropriate giggling from my best friend and me.  Mostly bald, he had only a ring of white hair on the sides and back of his head, but it was full and thick.  He had a habit of saying, “Oh Beloved,” when he wanted to emphasize something while he clapped his hands to each side of his head, making the hair he had instantly disappear.  Seeing him go completely bald just like that always got us going.  Whenever he referred to his youth, he'd say, “when I was young and red-headed…”  Although I knew he was referring to the color of his hair, I always got a mental image of a small boy with not only red hair, but an entirely red head from the neck up.  We were probably 11 at the time, so we were very easily amused. Helen had a common phrase she was known for as well.  I can still see her shaking her curly white head and saying to other women of the church, “he's so heavenly minded, he's no earthly good!”  I didn't really understand what that meant, but the other ladies would nod and laugh, so I filed it away as something I'd figure out when I was older. As I've thought about her odd comment over the years, I think I know what she meant, but I don't believe it's actually possible. Pastor Porter clearly loved the Lord.  He loved to study God's Word, meditate on it and share it with others.  I suspect that when it was time for household chores or to listen to her plans for the day, he was often distracted by the many spiritual questions he was pondering. I'm sure she often found that annoying, but on the other hand, I know many women who would give anything to see their husbands occupied with thoughts of God and His truths. Is it possible to be so heavenly minded, that you're no earthly good?  Colossians 3:12 tells us, “Set your mind on things above, not on the things that are on earth.”  That seems like a pretty clear directive and confirmation that Pastor Porter's mind was exactly where it needed to be.  Although Helen Porter was the only person I ever heard use the phrase, “so heavenly minded, he's no earthly good,” it was a common notion – at least during the life of Christian author C. S. Lewis. In referencing this popular saying, he strongly disagreed. “On the contrary, most of us are so earthly minded that we are of no heavenly or earthly good. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this one.” We are so easily distracted by things that seem to demand our immediate attention.  We have jobs, household chores, families to manage, appointments to keep, friends who need us…the list goes on.  And add to that Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, our favorite tv shows, movies and sports teams.  With all of our obligations, we deserve a little me time, don't we?  There are so many demands on our time and energy, swirling around us like an ever-strengthening whirlpool, threatening to consume us. How could we possibly find time to focus on heaven and things we can barely begin to comprehend? And yet, these are the very things that scripture commands us to think on. We're given a list of them in Philippians 4:8.  “Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right and pure and lovely and admirable.  Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”  There aren't a lot of things on this earth that meet that criteria, so it sounds more like a description of someone who is heavenly minded. Jesus Himself was certainly heavenly minded. He talked about it 70 times in the book of Matthew alone.  54 of the 66 books in the bible refer to heaven.  It's interesting to note that the bible begins and ends with references to heaven. Genesis 1:1 opens with, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”  The final chapter of Revelation says, “He showed me the great city, descending out of heaven from God.”  Heaven was one of the last things Jesus talked about with His disciples the night he was arrested. In John chapter 14 we read, “In my Father's house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”  Those words were intended to bring comfort to the disciples who were about to face the most devastating 24 hours of their lives.  They were also meant to bring comfort and curiosity to us. As children, most of us did have quite a lot of curiosity about heaven.  We asked a lot of questions and our parents did their best to answer.  A very common question upon the death of a beloved pet is always, “do animals go to heaven?” As a child, I always thought of heaven as having everything I loved and nothing I didn't, but as time went by, I thought of it less and less.  I heard all the jokes about people who arrived at the pearly gates to be questioned by St. Peter and I saw movies like “What Dreams May Come,” that portrayed heaven as an unknowable, ethereal place as well as cartoons of people sitting on clouds, playing harps for all eternity.  None of that made me eager to go there. I believe that one of Satan's most brilliant moves was to convince our popular culture that heaven is incredibly boring, filled with a bunch of “goody two-shoes, sitting on clouds in white robes, looking like angels.  Conversely, many people believe that hell is filled with people who liked to have fun on earth and are continuing the party in hell.  It's a little warm down there, but it doesn't spoil the fun.  Unfortunately, in the case of hell, nothing could be further from the truth.  And fortunately, that's also true of that diabolical view of heaven. My impressions of heaven changed dramatically when I discovered author Randy Alcorn. He's written numerous Christian fiction novels that have quite a bit of the story taking place in heaven.  I was surprised and delighted at the way he portrayed it. The people who had acknowledged their sinful nature and received God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ did participate in awesome, extended worship services standing around the throne, but they did so many other things as well.  They spent one on one time with Jesus, having their eyes opened to the way He was working in their lives when they couldn't understand what was happening to them.  They had work to do.  Satisfying, fulfilling work that they enjoyed.  They had their own private spaces, that God had designed specifically for them that included everything they had loved on earth as well as things they had never imagined.  They were able to spend time with loved ones who had gone before them as well as ancestors they had never known and learn how they had been observed at times and prayed for through various trials.  The author makes it clear that he is using his imagination in conjunction with what scripture does tell us about heaven and about God's character.  He doesn't claim that his version of heaven is more accurate than anyone else's, but he encourages readers to spend time thinking and imagining with him.  He's also written a non-fiction book called, “Heaven,” which I highly recommend.  It's presented in a question and answer format and he does his best to give the logic as well as the faith behind his answers.  It's not the sort of book you read straight through, because it's deep and challenging, but it's a great reference source for specific questions and will encourage you to spend more time thinking and imagining what heaven will be. That's exactly what I believe Paul intended when he wrote, “Set your mind on things above, not on things of the earth.”  The days we spend on this earth are a miniscule fraction on the eternal timeline.  And yet, we often live as if this is all there is, consumed by the cares of this world and oblivious to the next, where we will spend eternity. And I know, even trying to comprehend the concept of eternity blows our minds.  We are such time-oriented beings, the absence of it is really beyond our comprehension.  But God created humans to consider things that are beyond their comprehension – that is how we learn and grow and advance.  And no doubt, that is why He challenges us to meditate on things that are above and even beyond our comprehension.  That will cause us to learn and grow in our knowledge and appreciation of Him and His creation.  It will cause us to advance in our spiritual walk with Him and prepare us for an eternity in His presence.

Over a 40-year career, Joel Hynek has helped bring some incredible VFX to life, beginning with optical effects for Xanadu, then making the Predator a terrifying opponent for Arnie, and moving onto a range of movies, including xXx, Judge Dredd, Stealth, plus blockbusters from India and China. He picked up a sci-tech Oscar for the design and development of an optical printer, and a VFX Oscar for his quietly revolutionary work on What Dreams May Come. Joel shares incredible stories from the world of VFX, including how he developed the Predator's invisibility cloak and night vision, the scrapes and near-misses he got into while filming Stealth, and reveals some interesting trivia about The Matrix and The Bourne Identity. He also talks about working with industry luminaries including Doug Trumbull, Rob Cohen, Doug Liman, and reveals his impressive lineage.

Where do we go when we die? Can we find our family there?  Would you travel to the underworld to bring back a loved one?  So many philosophical questions, all with (sometimes questionable) answers provided in the 1998 film “What Dreams May Come.” We'll also talk about movie depictions of the afterworld, the story of Orpheus, Robin Williams in serious acting roles, social security cards and Karl's disgusting encounters with bodily fluids at work.  Sounds heavenly.

This week, we're hanging out with musician/band leader Hector Ultreras. We check out the trailer for the Watchers, which looks spooky and fun. Then, Hilton demands answers about Severance. We track down music from Zampino's old band the Buttafuocos. Then, it's Kevin Costner's oddly timed old west white savior flick Horizon. We're not feeling it. But we do like Adam Sandler in Spaceman, which has strong What Dreams May Come vibes. Plus, the new photo from the Crow remake has us forming opinions, and we're shocked at just how bad a Willy Wonka event in Scotland looked!

What Dreams May Come is in the hot seat this week. Is it heaven sent or hell bent? Dave and Ausy say incredible visuals and a deeply emotional story make this a unique take on what comes after. Gav and Joel would rather not find out, with shallow sentimentality and weak characters making this a dud. All this with an impression of Robin Williams and Max Von Sydow and a quiz all about Joel's guilty pleasures. www.filmsontrial.co.uk/235
