Jung, Krishnamurti, and Satchmo: The Motion Picture

(© 1996 by Bruce Morgen)


Carl Gustav pontificates: "The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego-consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends."

Krishnaji replies, a bit testily: "Personally I have no belief in anything, the speaker just faces that what is, what are facts, the recognition of the essence of each fact, each thought, all reactions."

Louis knits his forehead, quietly mouths the word "dream," and then sings "A Kiss to Build A Dream On," acapella and gorgeously. He then wipes his brow, smiles, and leaves.

As the door to the room closes, Carl Gustav is apparently praying, albeit silently, and Krishnaji begins to chant hauntingly in Sanskrit.

Fade slowly to black.
