"Stunning and mind-blowing... I'm so grateful to you for letting me see Metanoia. You have delivered on the promise in your title of providing a new vision of Nature."

Paul Flynn, UK Member of Parliament.

"This DVD is one of the most fascinating, amazing, wonderful, stirring and touching films I have seen in a very long time. Thank you so much for making it - it's so professionally made and the beautiful music adds even more depth to it. Thank you... simply Thank you. I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT and can only recommend everyone out there to buy it.
The world does more than need it....... even if it seems unlikely mankind will ever wake up from its deep deep sleep."

Monika Grounds, Switzerland.

"Stunning graphics and music... you both are VERY talented in many ways..."

Suzanne Harle, Director of Green Planet Films.

Written and directed by author/musician Simon G. Powell, Metanoia: A New Vision of Nature is the world's first DVD film to delineate the paradigm of natural intelligence. And it does so accompanied by an original upbeat soundtrack - making this film an enticing blend of art and science.

The conventional view that Nature is dumb and mindless is no longer tenable. The 90 minute Metanoia DVD shows us that Nature is better understood as a system of self-organising intelligence. Currently however, both science and religion (in all its forms) steadfastly deny the existence of natural intelligence. Unlike artificial intelligence, natural intelligence is totally unheard of. Until now....

Reappraising the process of evolution is central to Metanoia....

Everyone is familiar with the Darwinian catch phrase "the survival of the fittest". But what if we coined a new and better catch phrase about evolution? One that highlighted what evolution was really about. A catch phrase like:

The Survival of That Which Makes Sense

Some good examples of natural intelligence are given (from a virtually endless source) showing how evolution has fostered eminently sensible biological and behavioural outcomes. All organisms represent sensibly behaving and sensibly functioning systems of biology. That which makes sense is that which survives. Genetic changes that make sense are the ones selected by Nature. Ergo - evolution is not a blind walk in the dark but rather a smart sense-making process.

Powell goes on to show that all of this evolutionary sense-making is only possible because the Universe itself is sensible. The Universe, in terms of its laws, provides the sensibleness that evolution feeds upon, learns about, and reflects. And the only reason the Universe is sensible is because it is intelligently configured....

With all the time, energy and resources in the world, Nature ultimately assembles conscious entities capable of making sense of how, and whence, they originated. Perhaps this process of making sense is what, at heart, the Universe is all about.....

But who really cares about all this? Who really cares if Nature is a system of self-organising intelligence? Estranged from Nature, we humans are primarily occupied with consuming and dismantling the living biosphere, content with our technological gadgets and our apparent mastery of life. We esteem the capabilities of human intelligence but ignore the natural intelligence that underlies our very existence. And yet 'the survival of that which makes sense' must also apply to us, to our own global behaviour. If human culture fails to make sense within the context of the rest of the biosphere then human life as we know it will not persist (in the long-term, only 'that which makes sense' survives). And yet it is still "business as usual in a surreal atmosphere of contradiction and confusion" that drives human culture.

Something has to change.....
