What The Bleep Do We Know Page #5

---

If thoughts can

do that to water...

imagine what our thoughts

can do to us.

[ Water Running ]

- [ Voices Overlapping ] These--

- Reality comes down to experiences.

- Is this--

- Successful--

Have you ever thought about

what thoughts are made of?.

Is there a substance of thought?

[ Roommate ] I guess itjust depends on

what you think is real.

[ Reginald ] The world

being possible timelines of reality...

until we choose.

[ Woman ] Are all realities in the

quantum field existing simultaneously?

- [ Man ] My definition of an addiction

is something--

- [ Voices Overlapping ]

- Something that you can't stop.

- [ Man ] There are different worlds

in which we live.

There's the macroscopic world that we see.

There's the world of our cells.

There's the world of our atoms.

There's the world of our nuclei.

These are each

totally different worlds.

They have their own language.

They have their own mathematics.

They're notjust smaller--

Each is totally different.

But they're complementary,

because I am my atoms...

but I am also my cells.

I'm also my

macroscopic physiology.

It's all true.

They're just different levels of truth.

The deepest level of truth uncovered

by science and by philosophy...

is the fundamental truth

of unity.

At that deepest subnuclear level

of our reality...

you and I are literally one--

[ Echoing ]

one-- one-- one--

- [ Birds Twittering ]

- 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 am 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 neural net in my brain...

that I accept that

that's possible...

it gives me the power and the incentive

to do it the next day.

[ Woman ] In addiction,

we have a supreme, beautiful opportunity...

to decipher

the difference between...

our intangibility of

our nobleness of character...

and the day-to-day business

of how that character is revealed...

in a three-dimensional world

through our bodies.

^^^^[ Singing Continues ]

[ Shutter Clicks ]

- [ Shutter Clicks ]

- ^^^^[ Recessional ]

- I hate weddings.

- [ Woman ] And what we will learn...

is that addiction is...

the feeling of

a chemical rush...

that is cascaded

through the bodies...

through a whole assortment

of glands and ductless glands...

and through the spinal fluid--

a feeling that

some would call...

a sexual fantasy.

It only takes one sexual fantasy

for a man to have a hard-on.

In other words, it only takes

one thought here...

for a man to have

an erection in his member.

And yet, there was nothing

outside of him that gave him that.

It was what was within him

that gave him that.

- ^^^^[ Ends ]

- Oh. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, Amanda.

I-I didn't know you were there.

Guilty.

A wedding?

Come on, Frank!

[ Mouths Words ]

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,

y-you live in your past...

and everything with you

is about ''what happened.''

You hate churches. You hate weddings.

You hate guys.

[ Sighs ]

Now I want you to go

scope it out.

Don't need to.

I got married there.

I know. I took the pictures,

remember?

You got too many memories

clouding your vision.

Oh, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda.

You know you're the best

technical photographer I have.

And I wanna have

some great pictures.

You know what?

You need a good Polish wedding.

- And watch out for

those good Catholic boys, huh?

- You mean the priests?

- [ Laughs ] Come on. Get outta here.

- Bye.

When I was younger, um...

I had lots of ideas

about what God was.

And now I realize

I'm not conscious enough...

to truly understand

what that concept means.

That I am at one with the great being

that made me and brought me here...

and that formed the galaxies

and the universes, et cetera--

how did that get

taken out of religion?

It was not hard.

Most of the problems that religion

and various philosophical movements...

down through the centuries

have produced...

have been errors because

that's where they're started--

That God is a distinct

separate being from us...

to whom I must offer worship,

whom I must cultivate...

humor, please and hope to attain

a reward from at the very end of my life.

That is not what God is.

That is a blasphemy.

God is such a broad thing...

um, some parts of which--

most of the parts of which...

that are associated

with organized religion...

is something that

I sort of recoil at.

It's something I think has done a lot

of harm to the world, done harm to women...

done harm to oppressed peoples,

done harm to the World Trade Center.

And yet, and the same point...

we have the epitome

of a great science.

The closest science

has ever come...

to explaining Jesus'

interpretation that...

the mustard seed was larger

than the kingdom of heaven...

and the only science that can fit into

that analogy is quantum physics.

Now, we have--

we have great technology...

from antigravity magnets...

and magnetic fields--

zero-point energy--

We have all that, and we still have

this ugly, superstitious...

backwater concept of God.

[ Man ] People fall into line very readily

when they're threatened...

by these cosmic sentences

of everlasting punishment.

But this is not how God is.

And once you start to question the

traditional images, caricatures of God...

people feel you are

an agnostic or an atheist...

or a subverter

of the social order.

God must be greater than the greatest

of human weaknesses...

and indeed...

the greatness of human skill.

That God must even transcend

our most remarkable...

to emulate nature

in its absolute splendor.

How can any man or woman sin against

such a greatness of mind?

How can any one

little carbon unit...

on Earth in the backwaters of...

indeed, the Milky Way,

the boondocks...

betray God Almighty?

That is impossible.

The height of arrogance

is the height of control...

of those who create God

in their own image.

[ Woman ]

Brain, when it fires its thoughts...

is likened unto the landscape

of a thundercloud.

And the synaptic cleft

is the sky between...

- the storm and the Earth--

the Earth receptor sight.

- [ Electricity Crackling ]

And you see this

foreboding dark cloud...

boiling in the sky...

and you see electrical impulses

moving through it...
