"What the Bleep Do We Know?!" & My Transformation Journey: Part 1

Alex Chua said Jun 19, 2006, 9:42 AM:

 

What really got me started was my friend & Mentor, Douglas.

It all started way way back… but I'll have to restrain myself… lets just start with Beyond Change… a workshop Douglas facilitated on the Good Friday weekend… 25, 26 & 27 March 2005.

That workshop reignited my sparks of passion for life… which was at that time was slowly fading away after 3 years as an employee in a public listed firm… I'd say I achieved some success materially & would consider myself as having done well… at least I was good enough for the company to offer me a significant increment in terms of commission & also a 2 months period of no pay leave for me to go do what I wanted to do… but I had lost my enthusiasm & passion for life…

Back to Beyond Change… it gave me a clearer picture of what my life have been & triggered a series of Synchronicity and Serendipity which included coming across “What the Bleep Do We Know?!” online.

The movie wasn't showing in Singapore & there were no indications that it would be…

I read the Study Guide & soon found myself deep in the rabbit hole.

There was this unknow tension from within me… I cannot explain it… but I just felt I had to leave my job & extend myself in some new direction… to allow my fires of passion to burn brightly & to live my life fully… to reconnect with my authentic self & to make a bigger difference in the world… actually these are all hindsight… all I had in my mind at that time were confusion & chaos… out of which came clarity… only much later…

I went on holiday in Taiwan… the week after that trip was just unbearable… My heart was telling me it's now or never. I was full of fear, doubt, worry & even guilt. Many questions plagued my mind… such as “What is next?”, “What if I cannot find a better job?” blah blah blah…

To simplyfy… somewhere from this mess came a thought that excited me… I did not want another job! At least not immediately after that one… I wanted to experience something I might never have another chance to do if I missed this time & space… I wanted to write… to go somewhere away from Singapore to write… I chose Melbourne… that was where I first saw “What the Bleep Do We Know?!”… that movie which gave me a glimpse of what my live could be…

I tendered my resignation on 09 May 2005 & set off on this little pilgrimage of mine… actually all I dared to call it at that time was hybernation… ha ha… I shaved myself bald & went off to Melbourne in winter… I have always been afraid of the cold so I must have been crazy ;-)

This post is getting too long so I'll pause here for a breather…  lets see… my next post will be on how Douglas helped me see clearly enough to choose to take this journey… basically… I was a caterpillar at that time & I cannot imagine myself leaving the comfort & security of my job… yet Douglas was able to shine a light into my heart… he gave no advice… simply helped me to reconnect with my own Inner Genius… to be continued…

P.S. I think I wrote too much already… why don't we make this interactive… before my next post… please share your thoughts on what I have written so far… especially… please share your thoughts on the following:

1. What are you most Passionate about in your life? What really matters to you? Are you doing what you love? How can you do what you love?

2. What are you most Passionate about in your work? What aspect of your work do you find to be Energising, EnJOYable & FUN? What do you love about what you do? How can you love what you do?

3. How can you bring your Profession & Passion into alignment?

Namaste,
Alex Chua

Hi Alex, I look forward to your next post!

I saw WTB with a friend about 18 months ago, and even went to a WTB conference in Austin, Texas last summer.  It was an experience like no other, being around so many like-minded souls. 

Speaking of popularity and relatedly, distribution, here at Zaadz I ran across mention of this new movie called, “The Secret”  (It is similiar as WTH in presentation and ilk.  It is not so focused on quantum physics but did fill in some gaps in my little mind :)  In any case, it is available to watch online in streaming video, and then you can order the DVD if you wish.  I watched it twice online AND bought the DVD.  I think this is a good idea to get such material to people more easily. 

I highly recommend The Secret too.  Mary_C

The Secret

Alex Chua said Jun 19, 2006, 9:12 PM:

 

Hi Mary_C,

Yes I bought The Secret dvd & saw it twice also. If What the Bleep Do We Know?! is influenced by Ramtha, The Secret is influenced by Abraham Hicks… that's one area that can be either conversational or controversial… & no, I'm not a formal student of either… but I do study their work & am inspired by their teachings.

I found The Secret to be very useful but it just did not have the impact What the Bleep had on me.

The Secret focus on one of the Universal/Spiritual Law of Life… the Law of Attraction. this will also be a great topic for discussion & expansion…

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles was supposed to be the legendary book that started it all, and from which the inspiration for The Secret came about… 

Also referenced was Charles F. Haane's The Master Key System which supposedly was the very book that Bill Gates stumbled upon while just a Harvard student and went on to create the Microsoft empire…

Well, I'm surprised there was no mention of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich… the book that really got me started many many years ago…

Do follow the links & enjoy reading these 3 free ebooks… they can change your life… when you are really. Everytime I read these books, the message for me is different… do let me know what insights you get from reading them :-)

WATER CRYSTALS


Mozart Symphony


Water�

The Earth is largely made up of it.
As are we�

And yet about it we know significantly little.

Until the groundbreaking work of a pioneer Japanese researcher whose astonishing discovery about water, documented photographically, changed most of what we didn't know�and led to a new consciousness of Earth's most precious resource.

Dr. Masaru Emoto was born in Japan and is a graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University and the Open International University as a Doctor of Alternative Medicine. His photographs were first featured in his self-published books Messages from Water 1 and 2. The Hidden Messages in Water was first published in Japan, with over 400,000 copies sold internationally.


You Make Me Sick

What has put Dr. Emoto at the forefront of the study of water is his proof that thoughts and feelings affect physical reality. By producing different focused intentions through written and spoken words and music and literally presenting it to the same water samples, the water appears to “change its expression”.


Love and Gratitude

Essentially, Dr. Emoto captured water's 'expressions.' He developed a technique using a very powerful microscope in a very cold room along with high-speed photography, to photograph newly formed crystals of frozen water samples. Not all water samples crystallize however. Water samples from extremely polluted rivers directly seem to express the 'state' the water is in.


Dr. Masaru Emoto


Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors.

G'day alexchua and Bleepers,

I sat riveted in my seat as I listened to Dr. Emoto. Initially, I thought it would be a tough talk to get through as he was using an interpreter. I was so spellbound by his speech that I hardly noticed he was speaking in Japanese.

All my water bottles, and water outlets are now covered with positive, empowering words. I am so used to my decorated water bottles, they are quite normal to me. They do grab the attention of folks when I take them out into the world, tee hee.

Then I saw “What the Bleep” I felt like I had found out a well kept secret. I try to remember what I learned in the movie, and keep my thoughts positive, now that I realize how much power is within me. I stumble and fall, as I am right now, but then I pick myself up, dust myself off, as I remember the pictures of the water drops of Dr. Emoto's study.

It would be awesome if movies such as these were shown to our children in schools. We spend so much of our formative years wandering around in the dark.

My life is devoted to blissful transformation of our global village. Each day I choose to share love, compassion, and bliss with my fellow beings. My motto is from the sixties, Make Love Not War. I know a smile will take me further in my day, than a frown, a loving hug is a more powerful weapon than a gun.

We lose our power living in fear. We need to take back our power, each day, in every way, energetically and physically, in our bodymind,spirits, and hearts, as well as in our community and country. 

Thanx for the pod alexchua. I am dealing with some tough stuff. Your timing in connecting with me is perfect. You mentioned Melbourne. Is that Melbourne in Vic, Aust?

love and light, love and laughter……a positive jaguar goddess

Yes you are correct… it is Melbourne in Vic, AU. I love this place :-)

To me, the highlight of Dr. Emoto's work is really understanding the power of our thoughts. His work gave lots of people a vision of how our thoughts affect our emotions, which subsequently drive our behaviours. Our behaviours soon become habits & we sort of get stuck in life…

Well, Dr. Emoto's work ties in very well with What the Bleep Do We Know?! & they really awaken the consciousness of many people. Critics abound & some may say that we are naive… well I choose to be naive in this case if being so makes my life better :-) The fact is that it did. The greatest benefit of the movie was that it convinced me enough to put my own critic aside for long enough to create the space for Possibilities & Abundance to enter my life.

I tend to listen to my Head more than my Heart… but this movie was just good enough to give me the faith I needed to experience miracles… & experience is all that matters.. there was really no turning back after that :-)

First of all Alex, Thank you so much for the eBooks! I very much look forward to reading them.

About 2 years ago I ran into the What the Bleep movie and concepts. Shortly after that my life changed drastically. Just a few highlights…

My marriage ended as we had lost our partnership and there was no room for growth or change. Once I moved out, my growth rocketed and I opened including seeing what I had done to contribute to the end of my marriage.

I received a job opportunity and promotion at work from an opportunity seemingly out of nowhere.

I acquired a new group of friends that were gentle, loving, supportive, and up beat.

I was led to a spiritual community that fostered the ideas of Abraham-Hicks, What The Bleep, and other New Thought Movements.

I met a wonderful woman who embodies the traits that I listed 6 months earlier and asked the universe to supply.

My poetry became more fluent and frequent.

I began to wake up to the fact that I was not awake or present. Now I am moving much more into life.

On an on it goes.

I have success with both visualizing and feeling my quantum field changing to reflect my goals, dreams, and passions. Also, I have success with affirmative prayer where I ask, become open to receive the perfect manifestation of my answer, and give my gratitude for its manifestation. I also receive guidance on how to recognize the answer when it comes which is easy. It is a gift that I have little or nothing to do with making it happen other than asking, feeling (very important) grateful, tender, and loving for its manifestation. So it is thought and feeling, but ultimately willingness to receive. The biggest question is can I receive the gift and stay awake to its arrival.

Yes, all this changed my life and now I have the opportunity to really live from who I am as I was truly meant to live. It works over and over again and it is magical in its ordinary ways.

Blessings Always!

Hi Zennie,

I really enjoy reading your story. It is inspiring, succinct & specific. My question to myself is: how can I make my story inspiring, succinct & specific… What I wrote & am going to write feels so long winded after I read yours :-)

We are all familiar with the ups & downs of life. It is what we do when we are down that build the steps we need to create a strong foundation for us to stay up.

When we look back on our lives, we notice there have been events that we classified as adversities, terrible disruptions, which we now recognize as blessings in disguise…

Life is full of blessings; we just have to learn to recognize them as such. Challenges are just the Universe's way of shaping our lives so we can become who really are. The same way oceans shape our beaches and rivers shape their banks.

“Every adversity carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.”
~ Napoleon Hill

When we get this… every event is just a learning experience… no longer good or bad.

I first saw WTB about a year ago, when it first came out on DVD here in the US.  My friends who introduced it to me (who were new friends at the time) were lucky enough to see it in theatres, and even though several months had passed, they couldn't stop talking about a number of the concepts in the movie that had changed their lives.

The first time I saw it was a pretty mind blowing experience.  In fact, every time I see the movie, I learn something new that I hadn't caught on before….or perhaps, I just wasn't ready to hear the message yet.

I've also seen the extended Director's cut called Down the Rabbit Hole, which clarifies and expands on the concepts introduced in the original WTB.  I particularly enjoyed their expanded segments on the role of the observer in affecting environments.

I will admit, though, I'm kind of…hmmm…”on the fence” about WTB at the moment.  In the last few months I've been reading up on various criticisms about the film.  Despite the criticism, I still think it has a positive and empowering message still.  But it does take away at least some of that sense of “oh, wow, neat!” that I had for the longest time about the movie.

Hi Terri Ann,

I watched the film about 7 times & each time something different jump out at me. We get what we most need all the time… at exactly the right time. 

Being on the fence is good. Know also that we can jump off the fence once in while to either side & then let our experience tell us which side work more positively for us. We can always get back onto the fence after that… & we would then see both sides from a higher level. Maybe.

Cangi said Jun 20, 2006, 8:56 PM:

 

Thanks for gathering everyone around this influential film. Your position of transformation also resonates, and kind of melds into what some have mentioned already as having being “meant” to see this film. From what I’ve learned about people’s reactions, overall there are 3 tiers of responses. 1) being an all-consuming revelation that prompts them to say this film will change your life, 2) being, it was crazy and interesting, really liking the CGI animation, 3) being, simply put - a bunch of flaky @$^&.

Being meant to see something has the ring of clandestine fate and I think the film’s ideas really stand in the face of those concepts. Its more of a syncronicity where one is in a particular state of mind that is ripe and open to the ideas. A paradigm shift is only a matter of perception that realizes fruition when many accept the ideas and the ideas of WTB are unfourtunatley still very progressive and out there in left field, no matter the science that is backing some of it. That’s just my real-world, big picture view of the film’s place in the order of things, but I can relate to the transformative process the film guides the viewer through. I actually went and saw it 3 times in the theaters as in ran for quite a while. Its safe to say that there are those of us who needed this film to put the convergance of evolving philosophic ideas into an attainable format. Sort of like there are many of us who believe we are too busy or its out of our league to think about neurological mechanisms and quantum spirituality, but once we realize it makes sense, suddenly there is all the time in the world to explore. How this affected me was as a film student, concerned with “making films” and the business of that, which was my intial draw to WTB, as documentary format. Yet somewhere in the back of my mind, there were other ideas brewing and there seemed to be much more to existence than I was capable of perceiving. So, lured into a cinematic experience as a means of “Study”, I walked out pulsating with ideas my mind was ripe to recieve. The transformative Journey ensues, and it seems that Alex here has really gained much of what the film has to offer, hopefully he can expand on its influence over him.

I’ve really enjoyed reading over what many of you have written and look forward to the discussion that is shaping up here.

Crnel said Jun 20, 2006, 11:26 PM:

 

As far as my main Passion, I'm what Barbara Sher (barbarasher.com) calls a “scanner” - with multiple interests and passions.  I do have definite areas of interest, some of which I have studied in school, some of which I've gained professional experience, some of which are hobbies, some of which I read about in magazines.  For people like me with multiple interests and passions, I liken the pursuit of them to playing slots in a casino.  Like sticking quarters in to slots, you take steps towards your interests and dreams and, like the occasional jackpot, sometimes the steps you take result in an open door of opportunity.  Sometimes you can afford to quit your job and take time to explore other possibilities, but sometimes that's not practical: Bills don't stop coming in… There are always ways to “sneak in” at least some of what you love into your life.  That's important.  Otherwise, life would be very boring and/or frustrating:  Boring and frustrating is not a good neuro-peptide to get addicted to.

I think it's useful to think about what effects you want to have on people by doing what you think you want to do.  Probe your dreams.  Play the why game.  Why do you want to do what you want to do?  What feeling does it give you?  What does it do for whom?  What problem does it solve?  For example, doing my passions would have effects such as the following: help people find out what they need to know quickly and easily, share the interest and joy in the music I love, to have fun and explore possibilities, to foster discovery and learning.

If you keep “playing the slots” and remaining open to where the opportunity path goes, then the “boredom and frustration” addiction can be avoided.

My two cents.

First: Thanks Alex for inviting me to join this pod.

My passion? To bring the good news that we are all co-creators of reality to the rest of humanity as they are willing to hear it.  That we have the power to drop the chains of fear, anger, distrust, hatred, suspicion, violence, which is the darkness of Hell simply by deeming them irrelevant and watching them fall away.  As more and more people understand that by turning toward the light of love, we can change the world by changing our world.

We have the keys to Eden.  We don't have to crash the gates.  We can simply unlock the door.  Who's with me?

Hi and thanks for inviting me to the pod, too.

[quote]To bring the good news that we are all co-creators of reality to the rest of humanity as they are willing to hear it.[/quote]

I love this line, as it is so similar to some verses in the bible. “Good News” was originally about the gospel, and “as long as they are willing to hear it” can be likened to “those who have ears to hear”. Jesus also was said to have talked about the fact that any man can do as he does….to me that's saying we are co-creators of our reality.

Not everyone has ears to hear our message at the time we are giving the message. But, if they hear the same message from two of their friends, then from six of their aquaintances, then from 12 strangers…. perhaps then they will start to listen and really hear.

And all this ties in with Spiral Dynamics so often talked about at Zaadz. We're taking this meme further into the knowledge base of the masses.

& here's parts of 2 emails from our friend Chris aska Crnel in Zaadz…

1. Re: What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Hello alexchua,

Thank you very much for your kind and welcoming note below. I'm really glad I found Zaadz. I have found the most interesting, thoughtful, friendly, and love & consciousness oriented people of any online community I've been on or explored (Tribe.net, MySpace.com…).

You're with Shift?  Shift magazine of IONS? In what way? Do you write articles for it? It's a great magazine.

I'll check out your story and links.

What am I most passionate about in life? That's a good question. I have a number of interests. My strongest areas of practical interest have had something to do with music, language, communications. I'm idealistic about possibilities for the world to be at harmony with Mother Earth as well as at harmony with humanity, in creative and non-forced ways. I'm good at reading, synthesizing, and sharing ideas that inspire me.  I want to promote the idea that all homo sapiens are fellow human beings first, then what each one chooses to identify as. I enjoy the complexities of reality, new (to me) paradigms, out-of-the-box thinking, brainstorming. I'm inspired by Barbara Sher, who says I can sneak in at least a little of everything I love to do into my life even though I like a wide variety of things. My wish for all of humanity (as well as myself) is to follow our inner spark(s). This is a glittering overview. I hope this helps.

One thing about What the Bleep that caught my attention was the concept that we can become addicted to the neuro-peptides generated by our synapse - generated emotional reaction patterns to life situations. Emotion addicts.  That makes sense. It seems that actual life experience creates the most stubborn synapses. I'm exploring ways of healing and deepening in love. That's a much better tasting neuro-peptide, don't you think?

Take care,

Chris N

My Reply: Re: What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Hi Chris,

Shift… sorry to disappoint… I'm just a member.

Reading, synthesizing, and sharing ideas that inspires… me too :-)

Following our inner spark(s) caught my attention too. One of my program is named “Ignite Your SPARKS of Genius” We are talking about the same idea here ;-)

Understanding our addiction to emotions sure is enlightening. Another useful concept is the realisation that we have no control over our emotions. We can only choose our response/behavior. Think about this for a while… its a powerful idea… & come to think of it… we have no control over our thoughts too…

The liberating thing is that we can choose to let the negative ones (both thoughts & emotions) fade away simply by directing our attention/energy to the positive ones… 

Healing with compassion, love & forgiveness is definitely a much better tasting neuro-peptide :-)

How about we post our emails to the pod? Maybe there are other interesting, thoughtful, friendly, and love & consciousness oriented friends out there who can join in this discussion too ;-)

2. Re: What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response.  Sure, go ahead and post.  I'm curious about other people's responses as well.

Yes, we can only choose our responses and behaviours.  Working with our emotions and thoughts wisely is like Aikido for the mind:  You realize that the more you consciously try to block out a thought or feeling, the more attention and power you give it.  Tis better to let them be and flow around them, redirect them if you can, and let them fade out like clouds.   

I like the concept of compassion.  It comes from the realization that we are all are human and vulnerable, and that we can also support each other with our strenghts.

We do seem to be on the same channel on a lot of things.  Yes, do post these.

namaste,

Hi ThePixellator,

Co-creation is a topic that is very close to my heart.

Part of it is the understanding of the difference between Control & Influence.

1. We can Control our Intentions & Effort but not Outcomes & Other People. We can only try to Influence them. This is where an understanding of Stephen Covey's Circle of Influence comes in handy. We should Focus our Attention/Energy/Action on what we can Control & Influence, instead of wasting our resources on worrying about our Circle of Concern. When we take Responsibility & Focus our Attention/Energy/Action on our Circle of Influence, this circle expands!

2. We have no Control over what happens to us but we always have a Choice in how we Respond/Behave. Recognise that it's not what happens to us that is important, it's what we choose to do about it.

3. Consider this… what if we have no control over our own thoughts & emotions? I  learnt this from Dan Millman… thoughts & emotions are beyond our conscious control… but the liberating thing is that we can choose to let the negative ones (both thoughts & emotions) fade away simply by directing our Attention/Energy/Action towards the positive ones…

4. Co-creation is really a delicate balance between Taking Responsibility & Letting Go. A mentor once told me this “Do your best & let God do the rest”. I also learnt to ask myself: “What if I have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference? What would I choose to do differently?” 

5. Co-creation is really about choosing to take Responsibility & doing what needs to be done in line with & in order to fulfill one's life purpose. Dan Millman would add… regardless of one's thoughts & emotions.

6. This leads directly to the importance of knowing our life's purpose & having clear goals that are aligned with our life's purpose. Knowing both our Purpose & Goals allow us to connect them with an imaginary line… this line is our sense of direction in life…

& I'll end off with a quote from my book in process “Our Possibilities expand in proportion to our Responsibilities” ~ Alex Chua

P.S. Please share your insights & ideas on Co-creation… or you might also wish to disagree with what I wrote…

“We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts, we make our world.”

~ Buddha

Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.

~ Mahatma Gandhi

“What you think, you create,
What you create, you become,
What you become, you express,
What you express, you experience,
What you experience, you are,
What you are, you think,
The circle is complete.”

~ Neale Donald Walsch

Hello Alexchua and everyone! This wonderful piece was sent to me. I know it will touch you. Once the centers of your soul open there is no going back. As if it is something you always knew but just forgot about. 

—– Original Message —Remembering Who We Are
Brave Spirits Most of us are familiar with the idea that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences; instead, we are spiritual beings having human experiences. We hear this and even though we may experience a resounding yes in our bodies, we may not take the time to really acknowledge the truth of these statements. Integrating this idea into how we view ourselves can broaden our sense of who we are and help us appreciate ourselves as brave spirits on an important mission to learn and grow here on earth.

As spiritual beings, we are visitors in this physical realm. The fact that we came here and lost all memory of what happened to us before we were born is one of the many reasons that it takes so much courage for a soul to incarnate on earth. This is why spiritual inquiry so often feels like a remembering-because it is. Remembering that we are spiritual beings is part of the work that we are here on earth to do. When we operate from a place of remembering, we tap into the wisdom that our spirit accumulated even before we stepped into this lifetime. Remembering who we are can give us the patience to persevere when we become overwhelmed or frustrated. It can give us the courage to work through the most daunting challenges and help us trust the ancient wisdom we carry that is offered to us by our intuition.

We have chosen to be on earth because there is something we want to learn that can only happen by inhabiting a body. Some of us are here to repay a debt, learn about love, or teach forgiveness. Most of us are here for a combination of reasons, we carry this information in our souls, all we have to do is remember. As you go through your journey, try not to forget how brave you are, being here now. Honor yourself.

Thanks for the invite and starting this pod of wonderful people!

I got to experience WTB about 8 months ago.  My reaction wasn't a huge AHA,  mainly because the film echoed what I've long believed to be true,  just from my own searches over many years.  It was nice to see so many peices of the puzzle sort of put together though.

What am I passionate about?  Mainly love.  I wan't to share positve enerygy and love with the people close to me and the strangers I meet on the street.  Since the film I've learned about my own power to alter ugly situations and make them more bearable, sometimes even pleasant.  There's nothing more wonderful or powerful than to be able to make a perfect stranger smile or laugh.  It's a wonderful, contagious feeling.

I'm passionate about raising my twin sons (and daughter on the way) so that they can become loving, inspiring and wonderful adults.  I'm dragging my ultra-conservative husband along for the ride.  He doesn't even kick and scream as much, so there is progress there!  LOL 

 I'm looking forward to being an active part of this pod and getting to know you all a little bit better.  Also thanks for all the good links, can't wait to peruse some of them this weekend!

namaste,

Di

One thing that I don’t try to do much is use my brain and thought to doubts or questions when it come to something matter. I always align myself with my heart to “feel”.

Profession and Passion will align if they are coming from the inside out, not from the outside in. The profession of oneself is never the same, and the passion of oneself is also never the same, and not thing to argue about (actually it is no profession or passion at the first place)

The mind has to be quite for ones to receive, observe, and feel what is matter for oneself. Everything is right here, right now.

The movie came into my life in a very crucial moment… I was outlining the ideas for my documentary and every time I was trying to explain people what I was going to do they didn’t get it… then magicly one day a friend told me to watch WTB and just like that I had a perfect example of my idea, the audience I was targeting and also showing that tehre was a market for it.

LOVE THE MOVIE, has amazing concepts and helped me understand better the concepts I am aplying tooday to make my dreams come true.

Now almost a year after I begun my quest, I am shooting my documentary and having a great time doing it. Each day I creat my day, my week, and my documentary not working hard, not killing myself, with no stress… LOTS OF EXCITING DAYS, traveling around like crazy and meeting the most amazing people…

If you are interested I am posting on mondays my expiriences of how is everything unfolding…. feel free to add coments … http://oren98.zaadz.com/blog

Alex - thanks for starting this topic - one of my favorites!  I just wrote a peice discussing, WTB, The Secret and Elegant Universe, and a bit of Star Wars and Matrix for good measure.  In it I detai what I think are the two largest revelations of quantum physics - blowing up the myths of matter and fact.   Doing so fosters a world of intention/energy and identity/compassion.  Let me know what you think!  Please be brutal!

Blessings,

Brandon

The Nature of Reality

I am delighted by the recent wave of media that beautifully illustrate what Einstein and the quantum physicists of late have uncovered.  The Secret, What the Bleep Do We Know?! and The Elegant Universe, in particular are three movies that help us understand the real-life implications of quantum physics.
