Time shifting

From the start of time people have always come to see a phrase, where one story ends another begins. And this goes on like the flow of the river: never constant & never the same. Like the proverb which states "We cannot set foot in the same river twice", everything changes with every-step we take. It is also like our lives. We can't grab onto anything or go backward in time, it may seem quite scary at times, but we shouldn't let the fear make us leave the flow, we always need to keep on moving and have faith in the "Divine" and where he takes us with the flow, if we trust him and set our soul free, we will eventually come to a better place, where everything is non-constant like the flow of time.

Phrases of the "Moon"

In the moon we can find wonders. It shows us how in motion our lives really are, sometimes it is dark, sometimes it is bright, sometimes it is dim and sometimes it is blind. In the moon, we can see the change of time, the change of light, the change of color and the change of nights. It is like our lives always constant and never the same, it is always changing like the passage of time and the passage of life.

Everything you see is all an illusion

In this video project I tried to bring out the hidden aspects of the light world. Where the light trails guide us above the matrix a higher plane of consciousness or existence beyond the constructed reality of the "Matrix." In the context of simulations, the "Light World" might symbolize true reality, enlightenment, or awakening beyond illusions, where one transcends false constructs or lower realms of perception and also, from where we can see the world from a different horizon.
