Gibran Kahlil Gibran - a retrospective

[Prenzlauerb3rgGibran]

Gibrán!!!! te amo!!

[coderharnischfeger]

The world has so much to learn from Kahlil Gibran. I'm grateful that I was able to learn from his writings and his wisdom. Thanks for sharing this documentary. I also produce documentaries, so I encourage you to continue this important project.

I see this video is more than 4 years old now. Did you progress on the documentary? Is there an updated version that we can watch somewhere? Are you still gathering information about Gibran? Maybe I can help, my grandmother was her cousin, and used to exchange letters with him. If you think this can be useful, please contact me at dtabach[at]gmail. com.

[bigbubba833]

This man's words about God, love, life and death changed my life. It is such beautiful work. I especially enjoy the use of symbolism. I know that it is considered by many as purely poetical and not philosophical, however, it makes me wonder how anyone could read Gibran's book and come away with this conclusion.

[nukldrgr]

I will learn more. I am new to his teaching, however , i allready feel asthough, his words should be shouted from the rooftops.

[TheAolele]

Years ago I met an elderly lady from Bsharri, Lebanon who was a distant cousin of Mr. Gibran, and she had very fond memories of his kindness, gentleness and deeply spiritual nature. When I told her that I had read his books many times, and loved his artwork, she smiled and said, " If you had met him, you would have loved him so much right away, he was a wonderful man, the way he wrote and painted was really and truly what he was inside." What marvelous gifts he had , genius and artless honesty.

[bigbubba833]

I love you Gibran.

[Aphro89]

wow i'm glad my name is the same as gubran's mother <3  "kamela " :D

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

Happy Mardi Gras 2011. Remember the Lenten fast my brothers.

[jesseniafra]

I loveyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ibran Khalil Gibran,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Avy

[alexpetro27]

I wonder if Gibran and Yeats were friends? Both are so great. Yeats for my mind, Gibran for my soul.

[PRFAN4life]

My name in fact is Kahlil Gibran, and i am also skilled with the talent of poetry and diction. I guess that means that i am a descendant from the original poet Kahlil, but I'm a THUG, SO IF YOU TAKE PLEASURE IN A NIGGAZ LITERATURE THEN HIT ME UP AT 832-273-4169

[sufiest666]

To take the forest as your endless home instead of the castles

To follow her eternal rivers and to climb her walls

And to drink the dawn in a glasses made out of ether

Great gibran, you will always be in our silent memory, and you will always be the son of Geat Syria

Eyes Wet :). Love You Gibran.

As You Said In Your Epitaph, You are Eternal.

"I am alive like you, and now I stand beside you;

Close your eyes and look around, You will see me infront of you"

Love You :)

[Forolddays]

I cannot wait to come to Boston and visits all his memorials..

[422brooke]

I live in Boston. Wasn't he living here for a portion of his youth?

Elizabeth

[utterboxtv]

@422brooke ..yes he did Brooke. in the clip you'll see 76 Tyler Street Boston where he lived with his family... look carefully and you can see the welcome lights on in the hall way ...

i had tears,,,i think he is here between us always,,

[gibrancrue1345]

my name is Gibran, ahahahah

[mrmakeitright]

His eyes have the longest, silkiest lashes i have ever seen-and a sudden scoop in the lower lid. His face changes like the shadows of leaves with every thought or feeling. It is a study in living beauty. Mary Haskell on Kahlil Gibran

[vedato]

khalil gibran has changed my life, he is a genius because of him i will study philosophy :) :)

What is the music and where can i find it? its wonderfull

[lakota66]

you are already your philosopher (being in love with truth).

may heavenly mother illuminate your path to your higher consciousness and lead you to your true purpose in live.

no better wish i can give you.

i love you.

[awilgidu]

the ouadist (lute player) sounds very much like Simone Shaheen (the greatest). It is probably his composition. If you like middle eastern music you might check out some of his albums.  He has some you tube improvisations.

[Aphro89]

@vedato YES ... gubran is not an ordinaory writer .. he has affected my life and thoughs alot .. i luv gubran 2

[TVME]

Just finished reading The Prophet. WOW! It can answer what you've been asking or open what you thought was locked. Peace be with you.

[fouridiots08]

Most of us live in but two or three rooms of our house. Gibran lives in all of his.

[LANDOxCALRIZION]

i named my son  Cypress Kahlil Gonzales after gibrin hes the best ever!

[CokeCake]

I'm glad something like this is being made.

What is the music?

[Mrxxyyzz1]

I was born with an arrow in my heart, and it is painful to pull it and painful to leave it... I live so much within myself, like an oyster. I am an oyster trying to form a pearl of my own heart. But they say that a pearl is nothing but the disease of the oyster." Kahlil Gibran

[MikHoward7]

I just finished reading "The Prophet" and now I want to read all of his books.

[Raskhh]

I Have never Meet someone with my same name I am Gibran.

[djibrane]

my name is the other of writting gibran in english

[fifilucia1972]

i absoulately am entrnced by his art and philosphy..very proud of my fellow lebanese...thanks gibran!..we will always appreciate you!

[TommyWaters]

Can anyone tell me where I can find the music played in this video, or any music very much like it? It sounds wonderful.

[utterboxtv]

Anouar Brahem is the artist.

[TommyWaters]

Thanks so much, I'm looking his work up now.

[joumaali]

@TommyWaters you have also charbel rouhana , tell me if you want i have some i can send to you

[zoombarakat]

@TommyWaters this is played by an old Arabic instrument called ''3oud,'' if you copy and paste it on you-tube you can get a variety of songs

[chitchatkathy]

Love the video but the tour guide is senile.He refers to Gibran's home as poor & "mutawadi3" when it's as quaint & unique as the most beautiful,little dream house anyone can imagine.Millions would give anything to own one like it nestled in the hills & blanketed w/snow.But that's not the point here.Can you imagine a boy running in these picturesque hills!It's because of this beauty & serenity that his spirit soared to such loftiness & poured out the most amazing novels & poetry man ever wrote.

[utterboxtv]

I agree...but, I think Mr Rahme's comment (ex President of GKG Commitee) was more relative to GKG's time, not ours.

[chitchatkathy]

Oh, okay! Then I guess apologies to the ex-President of the committee are in order. I just thought he was a tour guide instead a knowledgeable Gibran scholar. Sorry!

[chitchatkathy]

No wonder he was a genius. He was born in paradise.

[bigfatpig85]

this is great stuff, thanks.

[KhmerSerey1]

He's a very beautiful soul,i love his books,i bought them all,all that i could find.Heaven Bless you Khalil,may all that is best be your.

[fifilucia1972]

hea awesome..an genius in his own right

[sunny4ever247]

Thanks for this wonderful work!

Regarding Gibran's belief- I am not sure that he really believed in God or spirit in the traditional sense- but h seemed more inclined to believe in the unity of the univierse and spirit- we all are one with the universe and with God/spirit.(as I remember- but could be wrong)

[808Monkseal]

Thank you for this piece. I've been reading Gibran for nearly 30 years.  I continue to learn from his writings.

[gulfgirl7]

wow!

[HayfaWehbi]

Thanks great video

[danallyr]

Wonderful. Thank you for taking me on this journey... it gave me goose bumps all the way through.

[suredudesure]

My name is Gibran and im mexican

[supersaiyennaruto]

thats your name too so is mine

[zooalkj]

رحم الله جبران وجميع اصدقائة من رابطة المهجر في الغربة .... Gibran was a artist , painter ,Philosoph ,author and others it was really a gold area

[A31Chris]

Something was wrong. Kahlil Gibran died too young. Of Cirrosis?

[808Monkseal]

He died of liver cancer. He drank to lessen the pain. Unfortunately, it only exacerbated the condition.

[sixthsonofsevensins]

It seems it's true, the good die young.

[A31Chris]

I think I know what happened now. Mary Haskell. He put back on an old skin he was to have taken off and thrown away and broke his own heart.

He is a warning to all of us who come after him.

[BESORVIA]

watch my work>> the prophet

[flyfishtrout]

beautiful just like the man. who could not be touched by this video? i personaly own erevything he has written.(book`s)thankyou utterboxtv.

[nicoleamar]

you'r right it touch my soul , my spirit and my heart . GREAT words from great legend

[giggsdadragon]

Gibran a truly legend

[clappington]

This was great, except the audio quality makes it difficult to hear and that music isn't helping matters.

[KingDOMMED]

its great to meet others who are so passionate about this man.

The Prophet and The Mad Man, have changed my life.

I hope they have changed yours also.

[kindu2006]

yes, they played a role in my life as well. I bumped into them @ 15... now @ 21, I feel so grateful!

[sixthsonofsevensins]

You may really enjoy "tears and laughter" if you haven't read it, please do, if not for the good of your own soul then please for mine. I can only find comfort in sharing his works, and all art that stirs me.

[sufiest666]

sixthsonofsevensins.... and we pray you back forgiveness for you and for ourselves.......GOD BLESS YOU MAN...

[foudoud]

great

[patrickblake]

im related to the man :D

[utterboxtv]

Hi Patrick,

how are you related?

[patrickblake]

the belief is blood AND marriage....he was my grandfather's cousin, who my grandfather knew when he was young (before Khalil passed on)

[sleeplessintokyo]

rip

[Mindda]

A lovely film to watch! And very interesting to see the places connected with Gibran.

I love his work also. Just one comment - there is so much more to Gibran than just "The Prophet". I love the stories from "The Wanderer" - especially "Garments" ("Beauty and Ugliness") and "The Pearl" - google Gibran and The Wanderer online and you can find them.

Thank you so much!

[utterboxtv]

Yes Indeed,

there is much more to everyone if you decided to explore. I must say "Imran City of Lofty Pillars"

has to be my Lofty Pillar when it comes to GKG's work. The Video is pure promo not intended for any strong storyline work or personally related to GKG. the use of the "The Prophet" in video is easier for the masses to relate to, in fact the quotes used are from a letter written to MEH + Sand & Form. Glad you enjoyed vid.

[SisyphusOne]

Great documentary ... Thanks !

[JaiMaJames]

LOve it God Bless!!!

[steptoe74]

Wow... thank you so much for sharing.

This is the most comprehensive story of Kahlil I have seen. It is great.

Enjoy.

[luftspiegelung]

incredible inspiring, enlightening. so pure and beautifull. Khalil Gibran is a gift to humankind. thank you so much for sharing this!

[utterboxtv]

thank you for your kind comments my friend. will keep you posted on new material.

[monstersamba]

beautiful clip, it was so nice to see B'charre again and to see where he stayed in Boston and the people who were a part of his life. the tomb you show is in the basement of the house you showed in B'sharre (where he lived in 1890s) - this house is his museum and full of his art. have you included the time in Paris for the next one?

[EliteXtasy]

I want to read The Prophet, but because Gibran was a Maronite, I'm afraid that the book will have Christian references. I don't mind reading it if parts of the book is about God in general (excluding [Christian] Jesus). Can someone guide me or suggest another book by Gibran?

[monstersamba]

the answer to your question is in this clip, watch it again... his belief was basically god has no religion in that he will accept our prayers in a temple or church etc. Gibran does not say the name Jesus in his book, he is talking beyond religion and from his very soul. all his books are very much beyond compare....

[luftspiegelung]

totally agreed. peace to lebanon.

[sanddocon]

I red only 2 of this books and i love this work alredy greatest ever!!!

[mrziad123]

thas is gr8 bro .....

es mi idolo , que lastima que estuviera en ingles

[elie0unh]

if Langston Hughes is the American Heartbreak, than Gibran is Humanity's heartbreak....

[MrWicked15]

an emotional man, boyish at heart, and unparalleled love

"My friend, I am not what I seem. Seeming is but a garment I wear-a care-woven garment that protects me from thy questionings and thee from my negligence." - Kahlil Gibran in The Madman....peace to u my fren
