Spirit Science ~ Happy New Year 2019 (Again!)





Wait a second... didn't we do this already? ... Hm, it seems we did! So the last New Years video had to get taken down, only a day after we published it. But instead of just re-uploading a slightly different version, we felt it would be best to take the opportunity to actually discuss many of the things we've been wanting to open up and share about. Enjoy!

Spirit Science has changed so much over the years, and so much has happened behind the scenes that affected it's evolution. When the first New Years video came down, I really felt like it was some karma telling me I needed to take the time to make the video that I've been wanting to make for a while, and the script for this one just poured out of me. Despite this, there's still so much to discuss, but this feels like a really good "first step". The main focus here is the studio... It's been a long road with Spirit Science, and one of the biggest changes has been shifting from going at it willy-nilly, to stepping up to a more professional level, starting a studio, and being legit. This also means that Spirit Science has to take monetization seriously, in order for us to bring in a team of animators and make stuff at a higher and higher level. When Spirit Science first started, I was living in my parents basement, and for a long time I travelled around and stayed with people who invited me to live with them, but none of these options were really a solid "root" for me to live from, which is one of the reasons that Spirit Science has struggled. In 2016, I planted a seed of a Studio, and at the tail end of 2016, hired my friend Aaron to help me make the studio properly. We've come a long way, but we have a long way to go still yet. You can pause and read the Mission/Vision statement of the company in this video, if you're interested, and see what we're really all about. Thanks for reading! Love you eternally

Spirit Science - Awakening the Buddha Within


Published on Oct 25, 2012 by 


If you dropped the Buddha into a modern metropolis, would he come off sounding like a 16th-century morality play or more like a drive-time disc jockey? Lama Surya Das doesn't spin platters for a living, but he does have a hip delivery that belies his years of sheltered training in Buddhist monasteries. In Awakening the Buddha Within, he borrows a time-tested bestseller format for a 2,500-year-old tradition that comes off as anything but ancient. With the "Five T's of Concentration," the question of "need or greed," and the story of the monk who bares his backside to prove a point, Surya Das invokes a path of wisdom that is as accessible and down-to-earth as a worn pair of loafers. It's not an easy path--it demands thought, effort, and discipline. But Surya Das is there for you, lighting the way to wisdom training, coaxing you into ethics training, and laying out step by step the path of meditation training. And if that's not enough to get you to live in the now, consider these words of the enlightened lama: "You must be present to win."
