Fall down the rabbit hole




ENLARGE
Special to the Daily
VAIL - Is it possible that we're so conditioned to the way we create our daily lives that we accept the idea that we have no control to change it?

The film "What the Bleep Do We Know?,' now playing at the Cascade Village Theatre, argues a new scientific world view that there is a greater reality behind the one we all accept as true, and we have the ability to create absolutely anything from our thoughts.

The film combines a narrative story with live interviews of physicist, molecular biologists, neurologists, physicians, scholars and mystics and colorful animation to explain the story of quantum physics and beyond.

The film begins with the story of the uninspired Amanda (Marlee Matlin), who becomes more and more aware of the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider reality. Through her journey, Amanda realizes that by changing the way she observes the world, by looking straight into it and seeing all the tiny layers of alive beings, that her life will never be the same.

The film uses an example of a scientist who wrote down words on pieces of paper and then taped them to glasses of water. The words, like love, hate, anger, laughter, actually changed the physical make-up of the water. The water's molecules had shifted formation, exemplifying how powerful our thoughts are.

Scientists raise the question if we as humans can change the future with actions in the present, why can't we change the past? They basically suggest that there are multiple realities happening at the same exact time, and if we change the way we look into the world, we can see these realities taking place.

"What the Bleep Do We Know?" says that science and spirituality are not different modes of thought, but are in fact describing the same thing. The film then explains that the individual has god-like capacity to create and destroy perceived reality.

The film is definitely radical science theory, but extremely engaging for those who believe there is more to this world than meets the eye. It helps to explain why we as humans are on this planet, where we are going and where we have been.

The film's explanations, through the live interviews and narrative story, are simple enough to grasp, but are complex enough to inspire many hours of thought and conversation afterward. The film's ideas are so powerful, if taken literally, may provoke a change in the way you perceive your own reality.
