"What
The Bleep Do We know?"
- excerpts from the DVD and the web site: http://www.whatthebleep.com
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is
part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and
animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic
Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to
unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider
to be our normal, waking reality.
The
fourteen top scientists and mystics interviewed in documentary style serve as a modern day
Greek Chorus. In an artful filmic dance, their ideas are woven together as a tapestry of
truth. The thoughts and words of one member of the chorus blend into those of the next,
adding further emphasis to the film’s underlying concept of the interconnectedness of
all things.
The
chorus members act as hosts who live outside of the story, and from this Olympian view,
comment on the actions of the characters below. They are also there to introduce the Great
Questions framed by both science and religion, which divides the film into a series of
acts. Through the course of the film, the distinction between science and religion becomes
increasingly blurred, since we realize that, in essence, both science and religion
describe the same phenomena.
The film
employs animation to realize the radical knowledge that modern science has unearthed in
recent years. Powerful cinematic sequences explore the inner-workings of the human brain.
Quirky animation introduces us to the smallest form of consciousness in the body –
the cell. Dazzling visuals reinforce the film’s message in an exciting, powerful way.
Done with humor, precision, and irreverence, these scenes are only part of what makes this
film unique in the history of cinema, and a true box-office winner.
- I Create My Day
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 the 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. (This) gives me the power and the incentive to
do it the next day.
"So if we're consciously designing our destiny, and if we're consciously from a
spiritual standpoint throwing in with 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 at my ability to be able to experience these things. And
make it so that I have no doubt that it's 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."
- Albert Einstein: "Few people
are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of
their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions."
