What The Bleep Do We Know!?

Just saw the movie What The Bleep Do We Know!? - Spiritual Movies, Quantum Physics, Brain Science, Spirituality.

In it you will meet physicists like William Tiller, Amit Goswami, and John Hegelin (of TM fame - he also claims to be responsible for "the development of a highly successful grand unified field theory based on the Superstring."

You'll also hear from Dr. Candace Pert, who "discovered the opiate receptor, the cellular bonding site for endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, which she calls our "underlying mechanism for bliss and bonding." This breakthrough presaged a sea change in scientific understanding of human internal communication systems, pointing the way toward the information-based model that is now supplanting the long-dominant structuralist viewpoint." Dr. Pert, a pharmacologist, "has focused her research on developing non-toxic pharmaceuticals that selectively block receptor sites for the AIDS virus. She has also pursued the “threateningly interdisciplinary” relationship between the nervous and immune systems, developing documentation of a body-wide communication system mediated by peptide molecules and their receptors, which she perceives to be the biochemical basis of emotion and the potential key to many of the most challenging diseases of our time." Her books are Molecules of Emotion and Your Body is Your Subconscious Mind.

The Dove read a little quantum physics long ago, just enough to be dangerous (Alison the physicist, please don't laugh at me). The Dove also read a book talking about synchronicity and the work of Bohm. It all made an impression, part of which led to creating this blog. We are also conducting informal, unsupervised trials in mind-body medicine around here, with very positive results so far.

What if we all decided to change our minds about the possibility for peace?

Go see the movie.

The booklist is here.

Undisputed facts about the film and film makers.

1. In addition to the films three directors, there were actors and others involved in the production who are long time "students" of Ramthas' School of enlightenment.

2. A disproportionate amount of time was given in voice and film to Ramtha, Dr. Joe dispenza, and Miceal Ledwith.

3. Dr Joe Dispenza and Miceal Ledwith are both long time students and "appointed teachers at Ramthas' school of enlightenment (RSE)

4. Dr Joe Dispenza (the one who creates his day) has gone to court and testified that his teacher (ramtha) has told him that terrible times are coming and that he needs to protect his family. He also invested over $10,000.00 in an infamous scam that infected RSE and was touted by Ramtha as a vehicle to gain fabulous wealth and many of the schools membership lost substantial sums of money. Some lost their entire life savings.
This is the person who teaches the brain science in RSE.

5.Miceal Ledwith a clergyman with a rather dubious past (see http://unison.ie/irish_independent/stories.php3?ca=36&si=770458&issue_id=7565) is the one chosen by the film makers to be the theological spokesman. He is also the theologian in residence of RSE.
He also has been marketing several products within the school and its followers. Guess that could not have been done to easily in the Catholic church.

6. The following persons in the film have all spoken at RSE and sold books there.

Fred Allen Wolf
Dr Candice Pert
Amit Gotswami
John Haglin
Joe Dispenza
Miceal Ledwith
and of course the big guy himself, Ramtha

7. One of the scientists who was in the film and had never appeared at the school is Dr David Albert Professor and Director of Philosophical Physics at Columbia university.
He has stated in several venues that his views were totally misrepresented in the film. He claims that in over 5 hours of interviews he explained to the film makers why their concept of how Quantum Physics works has virtually no support in the scientific community.
He even called in to a radio program the director was on to discuss this and was cut off. The host of the show said this was done because it was "negative"
so much for no good or bad, that is unless it is convienent.

8. To date, there has been no response as to where the information which lead to the story about the indians not being able to see the ships of Columbus originated from. There appears to be no evidence to support this claim. In addition, the film mentioned "clipper ships" which were not even in existence at that time. Perhaps that is why they couldn't see them.

There were many more, but I will leave them for others. If anyone has any information to refute any of the facts laid out here, I will be more then willing to retract them.

They are relevant because of the deliberateness on the part of the film makers to keep certain facts unknown (ironically, it is I making the unknown know) and misrepresent others.

Oh come on, it's hard to take a film that stars Michael Ledwith seriously. Just read what his old boss had to say about him: http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/front/2002/0601/4164376683HM1LEDFRONT.html

The story about the indians may not be true, but there are plenty of examples of the same thing that ARE true: Forest Pygmies, who have lived for thousands of years surrounded by trees, have limited powers of depth perception and cannot make sense out of objects in the far distance, instead thinking they are small objects nearby. Traditional aboriginies of Australia can see physical traces of people after they have left. New Guinea tribesmen do not recognize the images in photographs, instead they see a piece of paper.
