Scott Tiler Studio Theater

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

A new dream is taking place, is being lived, people from all walks of life are coming together to do something that makes life really worth living.

Doing work that feeds the soul and engages the mind. Creating, acting, writing, directing, living.

But in order to shine our light and bring joy to the world, we must turn within. Therefore I offer words from the ancient hindu text

“The Baghavad Gita”:

“The vibration of the senses(Kurus), which keep the the devotee’s attention upon the internal sounds of the physical body , are shrill and disturbing-comparable to shattering a quiet atmosphere with the clamor of drums, horns and cymbals”

Tiler: Too much focus on the satisfaction of our senses clouds the mind and depletes vital energy needed to create the magnificent work we wish to create and can lessen our ability to share it with the world.

Therefore we must (Gita) “aspire to develop steadily in spirituality and must calm the mind by the practice of the right techniques of concentration; must keep the breath quiet by pranayama and proper breathing exercises; must preserve the vital essence (generally the most abused of the senses) by self-control and by seeking only the company of good people; and must free the body from restlessness and aimless motions by conscious control of the life force, and by keeping the body in good health and training it by patient discipline to sit absolutely still in meditation”.

The theater will be a place like no other: an artistic center of healing, a creative oasis, a place to express our personal truth and illuminate the human spirit through acting.
