Product Description

For thousands of years, the inner teachings of all great religions have expressed the idea that human beings -- each of us – create our own reality. That is, that the life we experience is a function of our own belief system and mental processes. "As ye believe, so shall it be." They have also taught that the life we experience is like a dream, insubstantial.

Now, leading edge science (quantum physics) is proposing the very same notions: that our physical reality is more like "information" – similar to a thought -- than like anything else. And that physical reality consists mostly of empty space. Furthermore, mind-body scientists (neurophysiologists) are learning more about the profound and pervasive affects that our minds have on our physical bodies.

In What the Bleep Do We Know?!, 14 top scientists, theologians and mystics explain "how this all works," as we follow Amanda, an anxious, depressed professional photographer played by Academy Award-winner Marlee Matlin, through her awakening and transformation. The Little Book of BLEEPS captures many of the most enlightening sayings and impacting graphics from the film.

My adventure into the realm of Spirituality
The Little Book of Bleeps: Excerpts from the Award-Winning Movie What the (#$%&) Bleep Do We Know (Purchased on 08/12/2005)
I heard about the low budget movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and went to see it in down town Sacramento movie hall. I enjoyed it so much I purchased the film. I tried to talk to my friends about it. I even bought two more films to pass out to my friends. My "flatland" skeptic friends could not believe that I would even want to see such a film. They found everything wrong with it. I felt like Galileo or Copernicus trying to let them know that the sun does not revolve around the earth. I looked at my film at least ten times trying to write down all the words of wisdom emanating from the great thinkers who were scientist and other academics in the film.

Then I found the book "The Little Book of Bleeps" that had all the words I wanted to ponder that were in the film. As I e-mailed more friends about my excitement knowing that "we create our own reality," most of my friends again put the book down by explaining the fallacies of all the great thinkers who were scientist and other academics in the film---But, what do my friends know?

Then I found "Beyond the Bleep" that goes into detail about all the ideas and the thinkers who came up with these ideas. This film "WTBDWK" is about quantum physics, spirituality---and the meaning of life. This ambitious film attempts to answer existential questions such as: What is God? What are emotions? What is the soul? And what we all want to know why are we here?

I was so caught up with quantum physics; I ordered some lectures about quantum physics for the non-scientist from the Teaching Company. That gave me the vocabulary to understand "WTBDWK."

That wasn't enough for me. Amazon.com was advertising the book "The Spiritual Universe, How Quantum Physics Proves The Existence of the Soul." by Fred Alan Wolf, PH.D. one of the scientist in the film. It took me a month to finish the book and now I'm going to read it again. Quantum Physics is mind boggling, but I think it will change the whole direction of science and bring Science into the realm of Spirituality, bring the objective into the subjective. I feel blest that I am moving up the spiritual path intended by the creator. It also proves to me that there is an "Intelligent design."

Good handbook!
Great accompaniment to the movie that blows your mind. Not only are there great pics in the book, there are great quotes from the movie. This is the movie that keeps you thinking and pondering even after the lights go up. I've seen it three times and plan to buy the DVD when it comes out next year. This movie has helped me re-evaluate how I look at life! Awesome!

Not a bad buy for those needing a tide-over from the movie
This movie isn't playing everywhere -- and there doesn't seem to be a DVD available, if there ever will be. More's the pity.

My experience with the movie was thus: The first time I saw it, I thought they simply didn't go far enough and that some things were presented with too much simplicity. I have since seen it twice more, and each time I've realized more deeply that the intent of the movie is to give you an 'Executive Overview' of Quantum physics, 'mind over matter' style meditation, and what I can only call "Chaos Magic". There's a lot of different things going on in this movie, and the filmmakers' did an excellent job of giving you the substance without involving you in the niggling details of the proofs. However, with some research afterwards, you'll find that it's all there-- the Water experiments, John Hagelin's DC meditation experiments, the whole works. This movie is going to be great for anyone who has questioned Coincidence for long enough to realize that Something is Going On Out There; it won't be so hot for someone who intended to learn about Quantum physics. Better off with a text book there, chum.

Select the outcome you want out of the quantum super-position of possible outcomes. Go from there.
