Likewise, I have heard this explanation as to why we can't (don't) see U.F.O's. I did learn somethings about quantum physics I didn't know about. The brain functioning stuff I learned in the Solomon books. I related the "planning my day" to experiences I had with prayer. If I give out the suggestion then I can confirm it when it happens. I think the stuff about having controle over your life through your thoughts is possible up to a point. A person can feel a lot better about themselves and their situation by thinking positively. Yet I have seen too many people die saying things like "I am healed! I do not have cancer!" Overall the movie is a new age comercial. A waste of time.
Dave,
I have seen it. It is basically a Hindu evangelistic tract dressed up in "scientific" jargon.
The first scene is a display of the words, "In the beginning was the void" The void according to Hindus, is Brahman. The one, infinite, all-aware, impersonal being. Everything is Brahman.
The second scene is a display of the words, "Teemng with infinite possibilities." This is Hinduism dressed up in pseudoscience. (Quantum physics is not pseudoscience, but the
interpretation they give it is.)
Think about it. To us, "void" means nothing. These guys are fudging. In our universe matter and energy are the same thing in different states. All through the universe, at the sub-atomic level, particles are "popping" into and out of existence as mattergy changes its state.
They are subtly introducing the concept of a meta-universe that has the same characteristics as our universe, and contains multiple sub-universes, of which ours is only one. That's what all the blather about "other realities" is about.
The problem is that this has nothing to do with physics at all. There is absolutely no evidence that any other universes exist. Therefore, this is a metaphysical concept. In fact, even if there
are other universes it has been known since the 1930's that we could never know it. Observers within our universe cannot observe anything that might be outside of it.
They are taking something that has been observed, that individual quantum entities behave in unpredictable ways, and are extrapolating it onto all of reality. Hence, the claim of infinite possibilities.
They also take the fact that observing quantum entities changes their potential behavior and extrapolate that into the nonsense that we "create our own realities".
The problem with these ideas is that although there are uncertainty principles at the quantum level of reality, when aggregated into atoms, molecules, and so on up the chain to the macro world which we experience, they follow the laws of statistical probability.
That is why the chair you are sitting in as you type, which contains 3-5 quadrillion quantum entities, isn't jumping around the room, or through the wall of your house. Its behavior is highly probabalistic to the level of being virtually deterministic under the laws of physics.
The stuff about cells and hormones, etc., again contains much truth, but it is extrapolated into nonsense. What they are really doing is trying to prop up their belief that all of human experience is
maya, illusion. You and I are nothing but "bubbles" in the great sea of being, and we are, as the movie says, "one".
This is pure Hindu monism. Hence, the movie is a Hindu evangelistic tract.
Fact is, the universe had a beginning. What Hindus call "God" once didn't exist. So, Christians ask the question, "Where did it come from?"
It certainly didn't come from a "void teeming with infinite possibilities." This is nothing more than Deepok(ets) Chopra and Dwayne Dyer on steroids.
