All the way, baby – I say all the way.

For information on a film that will change how you view your life, click here. Then run and see it at the nearest theater near you, or even better, buy the DVD when it comes out because you will want to see it again and again.

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while now. I first saw the film entitled, "What the Bleep Do We Know" on April 3rd – it was just after Opal died and I needed to be out of the house. I only knew one thing about the movie, and it was about the images of water – a Japanese scientist (Dr. Masaru Emoto) took photographs of the molecular structure of water using a dark field microscope. His purpose in doing so was to see what affects it. He exposed the water to loving words by having the words on the water’s container – words such as "chi of love" and "thank you". He also took images of water that had been blessed by a Zen Buddhist monk. What he found is that the crystals that formed in the frozen water after being exposed to these loving concentrated thoughts created beautiful colorful patterns. Water that had been exposed to negative thoughts such as "You make me sick", and "I will kill you" formed incomplete and asymmetrical patters with dull colors.

"We’re 95% water. If thoughts can do that to water, imagine what they can do to us." So says a narrator in the movie. Think about it.

That is all I knew going into the film, but was more than intrigued. The film is basically the convergence of ideas from the fields of quantum physics, neurology, molecular biology – all with spirituality mixed in. It is part documentary and part drama that portrays the scientific and spiritual ideas presented.

It is so rich in ideas that I had to see it again a few weeks later – this time with a pad and pen in hand – I took 4 pages (front and back) of notes in the darkened theater. That’s why I really need the DVD. The ideas totally resonate with everything I’ve been reading over the past year in my philosophy class, and combine that with the science that I can relate to – at least the biology part – the quantum physics which is usually way over my head is made accessible in this film.

The big question is, "what are thoughts made of?" We’ve been conditioned to believe that the external world is more real than the internal world when in fact the opposite could be true. The film discusses how the brain doesn’t know the difference between what it sees in the environment and what it sees as memory – the same areas of the brain are activated.

Quantum physics tells us that the fundamental particles that make up matter take up only a tiny bit of space. The universe is mostly empty space. Matter is more like a concentrated bit of information – like a thought. When you’re looking at matter, it appears to be a solid particle, but when you’re not looking, the matter is merely a wave of possibilities. Quantum physics calculates the possibilities but can’t give us the actual experience of matter – we must choose it. We create our own reality.

Our reality is defined by our experiences – our brain that takes the info in forms neural networks – "nerve cells that fire together are wired together." We can choose to react to the world around us, or we can become more conscious of the observer within us and re-wire our brains so we can change from the inside out. One of the scientists states that the more he can create his day, the more it makes the neuron-network know it’s possible and the more he can do it.

I’m pasting an excerpt from the webpage here:

The most often referenced interview in the film is Dr. Joe Dispenza's comments on creating his day. In response to the numerous requests, the following is the transcript of that part of interview.

"I wake up in the morning, and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen. Now, sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down, and get to the point, of where I'm actually intentionally creating my day. But here's the thing."

"When I create my day, and out of nowhere, little things happen that are so unexplainable, I know that they are the process or the result of my creation. And the more I do that, the more I build a neural net, in my brain, that I accept that that's possible. Gives me the power and the incentive to do it the next day."

"So, if we're consciously designing our destiny, if we're consciously, from a spiritual standpoint, throwing in what the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life, because reality equals life. Then, I have this little pact that I have when I create my day."

"I say, I'm taking this time to create my day, and I'm infecting the Quantum Field. Now, if it is in fact, the observer's watching me the whole time that I'm doing this, and there is a spiritual aspect to myself. Then, show me a sign today, that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way that I won't expect."

"So, I'm as surprised as the- as the- at my ability to be able to experience these things, and make it so that I have no doubt that its come from you. And so, I live my life, in a sense, all day long, thinking about being a genius, or thinking about being the glory and the power of God, or thinking about being Unconditional Love."

"I'll use living as a genius, for example. And as I do that, during parts of the day, I'll have thoughts that are so amazing, that cause a chill in my physical body, that have come from nowhere. But then, I remember that that thought has an associated energy, that's produced an effect in my physical body."

"Now, that's a subjective experience, but the truth is is that I don't think that unless I was creating my day to have unlimited thought, that that thought would come."

(Dr. Joe Dispenza in "What the #$BLEEP*! Do We Know!?")

Are you still with me in this rabbit hole????? It’s better than even Alice could have dreamed!

Now go and create a most magnificent day for yourself.
