At age 13, Benedikt became obsessed with finding the secret of life and started reading books on quantum physics to formulate a theory of everything. Realizing that no amount of mental knowledge would help him grasp the mystery of life, he fell into a dark night of the soul that nearly cost him his life several times. As he explored diverse spiritual traditions, his curiosity took him beyond the well-known Eastern and Western fulfilment paradigms. His documentary The Heart Revolution paints a new picture of the human heart and what it means to be human. Using art, Benedikt works on introducing a poetic-science redefinition of emotions and the human heart to help birth the Age of Enheartenment.
