    :Our world used to be defined by what the Faithful and discreet slave told us about our world.

    And now we can be entertained (fortunately, guiltlessly) by having even BIGGER (who'd think that possible?) crackpots tell us about our world! ;-)

    I know nothing about the person Ramatha, so looked it up right now. Don't buy into all this kind of new age stuff, but this movie is interesting and I firmly believe that we can take benefital things from it. It may be from a cult group who sponsored it, still the quantum science was very interesting. I have no interest in getting involved in more religious mumbo jumbo. But this movie is thought provoking for anyone. And yes it is called:

    WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?

    I feel the thoughts in this went along with Neale Donald Walsch who wrote Tomorrows God which was interesting because it questions our concept of who and what is God.

    Reading the Salon article, I see what I suspected; the movie is exactly the kind of propoganda for these crackpots' spiritual beliefs, that the writings and "photo dramas" etc. were/are for JW-crackpot-in-charge's (be it Russell, Rutherford, or the collective GB) beliefs.

    More desperate, disgustingly dishonest attempts to get people to believe things without actually having good evidence to back the beliefs.

    Bad beliefs kill. Bad beliefs maim. Bad beliefs steal your time AND your money. Choose not to believe.

    I agree with Six, and have seen the movie and even recommended it in a post several months ago, simply because it can motivate us to question what we have believed about ourselves and reality.

    Don't believe anything, and especially question and investigate what you are. When ALL BELIEFS are absent, what is?

    I enjoyed it. I think quantum physics is a great explanation for the coincidences that have happened to me and I liked how the film illustrated that. I was surprised when I saw J. Z. Knight being interviewed in the film because I already knew who she was. That didn't mean I didn't enjoy the concepts being discussed in the film. The film does not advocate Ramtha explicitly but you could argue it does implicitly by having J.Z. Knight as one of its experts. The only thing you're going to get from J. Z. Knight is a lighter pocketbook.

    OK, so I ran out to rent it from Blockbusters and all copies are out. I ran across the street to Walmart to buy it, they just got their shipment in yesterday, and they only had 3 left, so I had not planned to buy it, but I did anyhow or I might have a long wait to see it. It sounds like it is one worth owning. I like this kind of stuff.

    I watched the movie and found it very interesting and thought provoking. One thing you only know from their website, the DVD has more on the other side. There is nothing in the case to tell you that. It is all new stuff from October 2004, so if you have your copy, turn it over and play the other side.

    Target,

    Thank you for telling me that, I got it out and watching it now. The interview with the people who put it together was really interesting. It seems that some fundamentalist bible thumpers are going to be uncomfortable with thinking that god is in each of us and has caused some protesting. I don't personally believe in the bible as a literal record from God to us, so I loved the movie. The thing is, even if people think the movie is baloney, the idea and thought that we create our lives by how we live, think, feel, and react to our world will get into their brain. Like the movie Matrix it was trying to help us see outside our personal experience into the larger whole. At the same time having adopted a Deist concept of God for myself, this movie has caused me to reavaluate that position. I have seen also the benefit of postitve thoughts and possiblities that have totally improved my life. Dropping negative people from my life, people who live in a depressed state of mind and constantly screwing up their lives. Quiting trying to save them but letting them find their own way.

    I know from experience people totally create their life from the way they look at the world. Look at the Jehovah's Witnesses. They live for when Jesus will come and save them from this horrible world, they isolate themselves from their neighbors, limiting human love to those they consider outsiders. By limiting their experience and staying with only JW who feel as they do, they create a doom and gloom view of the world, always expecting the end to come any time. Never finding real pleasure and happiness, always looking to the future for that happiness and hope. The reality JW's create or Mormons, or any other fundamentalist religious group create is not a blessing on humankind. For those within traditional religions who open their mind they will benefit. Since I have let go the doom and gloom of the end coming my life has totally changed for the better. I actually can find happiness each and every day every moment.

    For those who hate it and think it is nonsense after seeing it well that is their opinion, their negative opinion and that speaks for itself. Such an opinion from my standpoint speaks for itself. There is no Cult behind this film. It was done to stimulate people to think, learn, and inspire people to rethink their lives. No religion or cultish group paid for this film. Rathma the channeled individual was something that was the included because it was interesting. We can't poo poo the the unknown because there is little we know about it. It is time to rethink the way we view the world, ourselves, people around us. Wonder if magic is real, wonder if science is an expression of what we used to view as magic. So for those of you who think this film has an adenda, it does it's to make you think about what life is about.

    It is time for people to stop people from saying to us just have faith, wait on Jesus, wait on God. There is more to life than we're understanding. Ask questions, seek knowledge, how can anything be wrong in that?

    I could not have said it better. My views on the Bible, religion and this movie mimic yours. I found the movie extremely thought provoking. If you want to add to this line of thought, explore www.quantumtouch.com and you see how instead of just learning about these things, you can have a measure of control.

    I like the idea that we do not just sit back and let the world happen around us. I do not choose to be manipulated by others opinions and teachings. I choose to think and explore. I like movies like this that encourage that.

    Sigh... Not this again! :P

    This movie is somewhat entertaining, but the ideas it portrays are a joke in the scientific community. The way they expand the effects of quantum physics into the macroscopic world is pure rubbish.
