What the Bleep Do We Know!?™ - The Movie

Mark Vicente, co-director and co-screenwriter of 'What the Bleep Do We Know!?' was on Bob River's radio show on KZOK this morning.

You can listen to the interview on the KZOK audio archive page. The movie, and now the book deal with ?? (not sure) - maybe -

Quantum theory, duality, our dimensionally challenged minds? Asking great questions? The effect of thought on reality (and what implication this may have for you personally).

Sounds very interesting.

For you Pacific Northwesterners it may be of interest to know the "What The Bleep Do We Know?" phenomena originated in the little town of Yelm...and also has some ties to Ramtha.

Ramtha aka JZ Knight is a 35,000 year old spiritual being who happens to live in Yelm and has generated quite a bit of controversy, and of course skepticism, over the years.

Even though I feel like I fell into a big bowl of woo woo when someone claims to have channeled a a "35,000 year old Lemurian warrior who conquered the continent Atlantis and later became enlightened", I still think the book and movie look like they are worth having a look at. Ramatha is just one of many characters, scientists, philosophers involved in the book and movie.

Here's a few quotes -

“The most bizarrely intriguing movie I’ve seen in a long while . . . I couldn’t turn it off. In fact, as soon as I finished watching it the first time, I immediately started up the DVD screener again to give it a second go . . . “What the Bleep Do We Know?’” is a film about quantum physics, spirituality — and the meaning of life . . . It’s full of head-scratchers, and the kind of talk I’m not used to hearing from scientists and other academics. The ambitious film attempts to answer existential conundrums such as: What is God? What are emotions? What is the soul? And the ever-popular why are we here?”
