“Actually, “In the Beginning, There Was Light” is about Breatharianism only on the surface, as a kind of dramatic arc for telling about a deeper truth behind our visible reality – the “light of life”. So, what it is truly about is the investigation and questioning of this materialistic worldview, which rules our society – that it’s only real if you can prove it, touch it, measure it. I could have made this film with the same message about telepathy, faith healing, remote viewing or the wonder of life itself… The reason why breatharianism became my chosen golden thread and message was due to a visit with a meditation teacher who I was told lived only on water and “light”. I got to know him quite well. He told me that he had not eaten for over a year and that he only drank water. I’d heard stories about this phenomenon before but did not really believe it. Meeting this person face to face had a much stronger impact then I could have realized! He sounded very credible. I had to ask myself if this phenomenon really exists and why isn’t it taken seriously by scientific institutions? Why aren’t dozens of universities doing research on this?”
