What the Bleep!?: Down the Rabbit Hole Page #9

and your brain potentials picks up

the signature of those light flashes...

what is called "evoke potential"...

that can be measured in an E.E.G.

machine connected to your brain.

And I am sitting over

there. No light flashes.

I cannot see you.

And, still, my brain potential,

because I am correlated with you...

in terms of intention...

I intend to be directly

communicated with your experiences.

That intention produces me

- gives me the capability...

of simultaneously having a similar

brain potential in my brain.

It was first done by Jacobo Grinberg

at the University of Mexico...

and now repeated by

Peter Fenwick in London.

The day should be the sunrise.

It should be the

beginning of great thought.

I wake up in the morning, and

I consciously create my day...

the way I want it to happen.

Now, sometimes, because

my mind is examining...

all the things that

I need to get done...

it takes me a little

bit to settle down...

and get to the point

of where I'm actually...

intentionally creating my day.

But here's the thing.

When I create my day...

and out of nowhere,

little things happen...

that are so unexplainable...

I know that they are the process

or the result of my creation.

And the more I do that...

the more I build a

neuronet in my brain...

that I accept that that's possible...

gives me the power and the

incentive to do it the next day.

And we all create our own realities...

and we do that because

we are the observer.

We are each the own

observer of our own reality.

And each of our individual

consciousnesses...

creates our own individual

reality in the most amazing way.

My son, Evan, the physicist,

says it's an additive thing.

If I'm holding one reality and someone

else is holding another reality-

I mean, it's the Super

Bowl this afternoon.

And the reality that

the Eagles are holding...

is a different reality than

what the Patriots are holding.

And only one of those realities

are gonna be the real reality.

So there's some additive, and

there are interference patterns.

If we keep quantum physics...

and the understanding very

simple for the layperson-

that our observation has a

direct effect on our world.

I think if we keep it very simple, then

people can get about the business...

of beginning to practice

the skill of observation.

See, the subatomic world

responds to our observation...

but the average person

loses their attention span...

every six to 10 seconds per minute.

So, that doesn't leave a lot

of room for our attention span.

So how can the very large

respond to someone...

who doesn't have the ability

to even focus and concentrate?

Maybe we're just poor observers.

Maybe we haven't mastered

the skill of observation...

and maybe it is a skill.

And maybe we're so addicted

to the external world...

and so addicted to the stimulus and

response of the external world...

that the brain is beginning to work...

out of response instead

of out of creation.

If we're given the proper knowledge

and the proper understanding...

and given the proper instruction...

we should begin to see

measurable feedback in our life.

If you make the effort...

to sit down and design a new life...

and you make it the

most important thing...

and you spend time

every day feeding it...

like a gardener feeds a

seed, you will produce fruit.

We are running the holodeck.

We are collectively. It's there.

It has such flexibility...

that anything you can

imagine, it will create.

And you learn. I mean, your intention...

causes this thing to materialize

once you're conscious enough.

Yes, so what is consciousness?

- What is consciousness?

Well, consciousness is a very

difficult thing to define.

What is consciousness?

Where does it come from?

People have been trying

to explain consciousness...

and trying to figure

out what exactly it is...

what it means for us as human

beings, why we even have it.

A simple way of defining it is

it has to do with awareness...

and in particular,

awareness of the self.

That's at least how we, as human

beings, have self-consciousness...

so that when we look in

a mirror, we recognize...

that it's ourselves that we're looking

at and not some other person or animal.

And do you think science

will understand that better...

than having to handle a hot

potato called consciousness...

that has so much...

cultish religion backwater

voodoo attached to it?

Consciousness has been left

out of the equations of physics-

in general, as well as quantum physics-

for a very simple reason:

It's easier to do things that way.

I hate weddings!

A wedding?

Come on Frank!

This is a good assignment

if you'd see it that way.

What's to see? I do.

They did.

Aw God Amanda. I mean

you live in your past.

Everything with you is about what

happened. You hate churches...

you hate weddings you hate guys.

Consciousness. We have

great trouble defining it.

To me consciousness is

a by-product of spirit...

entering dense matter.

But we have a long long way to grow...

before we get to the stage

where it is meaningful for us...

to ask the question Will we know God?

Most people think of God as

that great figure in the sky...

with the white beard who's

scrutinizing the human race from above.

They see us here on Earth as in some

form of neutral testing ground...

where we're placed

by God for a period...

and God watches from above...

registering the scores on his laptop...

as to whether we perform

according to his designs...

or whether we're

offending him as it's put.

An absolutely outrageous idea.

How could we offend God-

the type of God that people believe in?

How could it matter so much to him?

How could it above all matter...

that he would find it

so serious a situation...

that he could condemn us

to an eternity of suffering?

These are bizarre ideas.

But obviously they have a great hold...

on the fears and the limitations

and the insecurities of people...

which is why religion

can play so effectively...

whether deliberately or otherwise...

on those insecurities.

People fall into line very

readily when they're threatened...

by these cosmic sentences

of everlasting punishment.

How in the Ten Commandments

could we have possibly...

created a mind...

that could transcend space and time?

No we're too busy keeping

our emotions in check...

to ever dream of infinite possibilities.

And maybe that is the

ultimate conspiracy.

Even though a given

person may have long ago...

thrown off the trappings of religion...

they still live in the religious mold.

And they don't even know it...

but their whole conception

of how reality works...

is all something that has

been molded by religion.

So until you get that

out of your system...

you can't ever make a go of

an evolutionary perspective.

One of the problems with

organized religions...

is that there is this

sense of separateness-

that it's only good
