What the Bleep

What The Bleep Do We Know is both a book and a movie.  I first saw the movie and was fascinated by the scientific support behind the process of creative energy. I wanted to know more and have the details at my fingertips so I then bought the book.  The film is a documentary of talking-heads mingled with the story of Amanda (Marlee Matlin), a divorced middle-aged woman who is confronted by the meeting of science and spirituality.
The film and the book ask some of the big questions in life:
  •  Does matter exist?
  •  Is time linear?
  •  What is our purpose?
  •  Where do we come from?


Several researchers/authors Candice Pert, Lynn McTaggart, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Deepak Chopra, Fred Allan Wolf and others support the strange happenings in Amanda’s life with science.  Several online sources criticize this film and book as being biased. I won’t argue the validity of the science – that wasn’t what drew me to the movie. I loved that it created a sense of wonder.  It also helped me better understand the link between my thoughts and what I observe. 

While watching and reading I began to really understand that as I watch the world around me I am observing only the parts that fit with what I expect to see.  I bet I’ve watched this movie at least a dozen times and each time I see something in it that I missed the time before.  It was a good reminder to me that the same is true when others observe my behavior.  If they are looking for me to be aggressive, they will pay attention to the data that supports their view.  If they want to see me as king and generous they will what and seek out the actions they have associated with kindness and generosity.

If we each remember that our own mind-set affects our observations we might shift our opinions.

Full Disclosure - Blog Relay

As a track coach in Junction City I learned that the precision of passing the baton in a relay race is often the difference between winning or losing the race. Watching the young women practice the handoff taught me the value of team work and the art of relying on your team mates. I often rely on my friends to provide insight and support as I travel my race through this earthly journey. When Kelli Spencer asked me to be part of a blogging relay I immediately said “Yes!” For me it was an opportunity to be part of a team and to pass the baton onto others. Kelli is an amazing individual who taps into nature, angels and people to help others restore their natural state of well-being. I met her through a mutual friend, Twyla as we participated in a book club for several years. Today Kelli has her own blog www.lovethelifeyouhave.com ; she is working on a book and enjoying ever minute of her home in the country. I turn to her blog when I find myself asking “What the heck is go...

Spring conjures thoughts of the legends and lore surrounding the Trickster.   The leprechauns of St. Patrick’s Day, the jokers on April Fools’ Day and the deceptive nature of spring weather are all like the archetypal Trickster.   Each is a reminder of the Wise Fool within.   In stories, the Trickster provides humorous relief to offset dramatic tension.   In life, the Trickster is your teacher, your great balancer.     Like a rebel with a cause, the Trickster uses riddles, puns, puzzles, mischief, wit and cleverness to teach you and help you grow in unexpected ways.   Blessed with curiosity that can lead to trouble, armed with cunning and wit the trickster faces challenges and evolves to a higher level. In life, your greatest lessons often come in unexpected ways such as tempting choices and strife.   It is only after the fact, when you dig deeper, that you “get the joke,” learn the lesson and grow from the experience. Bugs Bunny, the...
