"What the Bleep Do We Know!?" is a wonderfully enjoyable movie that not only explores science and spirituality; it brings them together. Some of the foremost thinkers of our time are interviewed. They discuss quantum physics and the nature on reality, concepts of God, emotional states and emotional states addictions related to biochemistry and neural brain networks, perception, consciousness, creation and much much more. "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" is a fun, mind expanding movie that we will transport you and that could change our world, making it a better place for all life here, and really, how many movies are there that have the possibility of doing that!?

Hi Jennifer ~

Thank you, thank you, thank you! For years my friends have told me about this movie ... "you have to see it!" ... and somehow it always slipped between the cracks of my consciousness. I never watched it until now. And now is the right time for me. I am finally ready. I always considered myself "spiritual" and talked a good talk ... but, it wasn't until the last few years that I have started to awaken. A series of tramatic life events, as it usually happens to people, kicked much of my ego to the curb.

Anyway ... the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know, ... OMG!!! It's one of the best things I've ever seen. Talk about something that sticks with you. I will watch this many, many times. Thank you Jennifer for always sharing. You always do your utmost to get new information to people and share important things. You have a very fine soul. :sunny:

One thing about the movie startled me ... Ramtha. I saw Ramtha speak through JZ Knight. I had friends that became Ramtha followers and moved to Washington State to be near him/her. I attended and paid hundreds of dollars to see Ramtha speak. It was an all day seminar. I ended up walking out. Ramtha was the real deal. I had no doubt. Ramtha could balance (in JZ Knight's body) on one toe at the tip of the stage and speak for minutes without wavering. He was a very strong, wise, knowledgable entity that was also quite arrogant. He sat on a throne surrounded by flowers when he spoke. JZ Kinight lived in a mansion on palatial grounds, with stables and indoor swimming pools, etc. The reason I walked out was because of the power structure that was set up by Ramtha. He had followers running the seminar that gave me directions on what to do and how to behave before 'God'. Ramtha was very cool, but he certainly wasn't God. And even though he didn't refer to himself as God, and said we were all gods ... he acted and lived like a king, which I guess he was in Egypt.

But the wisdom and 'other-worldliness' of Ramtha certainly added a cool dimension to the movie. I personally would of cast Eckhart Tolle, but I guess Eckhart hadn't hit the world stage yet. If you haven't heard of Eckhart Tolle ... OMG!!!! Go now:

I watched it as soon as Jen posted it. I have to say that I loved the insights into quantum physics and its spiritual connection but the chinsy dramatizations only slowed up my understanding of the theories rather than enhancing them. I understand that they felt they needed the story to keep the average viewer's attention but there is so much more we could have heard about quantum physics instead.

This is what I remember:
1. our thoughts can change the molecules in water
2. as we are 90% water our thoughts can change us
3. we become addicted to certain behaviors, even if they are negative, because we form a chemical dependancy based on the stimulation of the cells in our nervous system
4. we are all god

please add to the ideas I should remember about this film...

[Jane of Arc]

Hi -V- ...

I respectfully disagree. This film wasn't meant to be a clinical course in "How Quantum Physics Coincides With Spirituality", but a movie about awareness, awe, presence, knowing, the search for truth, the search for God. What you found chinsy ... I found necessary. Choosing Marlee Matlin, a deaf person who lives much more in silence, I feel was a stroke of genius. Her character represented 'silence' ... the space between all things ... the gap ... the void. Her character evolved into the knowingness that the we are of the same fabric; interconnected in this intricate dance of consciousness.

The chinsy story was necessary because this isn't something you can "understand". No physicist with degrees from the most respected universities can understand this. This isn't something you can formulate with thought. The wisdom is already there when you become still and stay in the eternal moment. The story tried to create this presence. A nearly impossible thing to do. Without the 'chinsy' part it would of been a PBS show.

very nicely summized, J.

Indeed, Marlee Matlin was an inspired choice. But you have to admit the party scene was toooo much. And what was it that initiated her transition to awareness?

[Jane of Arc]

Yeh, the party scene was kind of lame at times. I hear ya'. I guess what initiated her transition into awareness was her pain, her continual feelings of not fitting into reality, her anger towards her cheating ex-husband, her drug addiction and then that little boy with the basketball acted as the catalyst to opening her eyes. At the wedding when she realized she created a false reality from her own pain, parts of her ego began to crumble. Then waking up with a hangover she started screaming full blown hate at herself. To me that was the cathartic moment she needed to finally embrace herself.

[Jennifer_SFBA]

Oh, I loved the part about creating, by visualizing your day and then being aware of your day's outcomes by being that inner observer and seeing. It's just quantum magical!

A year after I saw "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" with a friend, my friend gave it to me as a Christmas present. What a wonderful gift that was! It is well worth buying to play and see on a larger screen television set. Amazon.com has it if you'd like to see it that way:

If you scroll down, you can see other people's reviews of "What the Bleep Do We Know?!"

The party scene focused on "sex." That got people's attention AND it made the point about consciousness and bio-chemistry that coincided with, I can't remember her name, the woman who talked about men's attraction to women and, oh, so much more ...
