Product Description
Everyone is still talking about the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? Now comes the paperback edition of the book based on the mind-boggling movie that grossed $11 million in the U.S. alone. As the movie did, this book compels readers to ask themselves Great Questions that will recreate their lives as they know them. With the help of fourteen leading quantum physicists, scientists and spiritual thinkers, this book guides readers on a course from the scientific to the spiritual, and from the universal to the deeply personal. Along the way, it asks such questions as : Are we seeing the world as it really is? What are thoughts made of? What is the relationship between our thoughts and our world? Are we biologically addicted to certain emotions? How can I create my day every day? What the Bleep answers this question and others through an innovative, new approach to self-help and spirituality that's far different?and more exciting?than anything else on bookshelves. More than twenty short, focused, interactive chapters take readers on a journey that will integrate the answers to these Great Questions into every aspect of their lives.

Recruitment Book for Cult December 31, 2008 Clear Thinker (USA) Just look it up in wiki, and you will get the scoop on this one. The movie was the worst piece of junk I've ever seen. Given the fact that you had a woman "channeling" a 3,000 year old "guru spirit", and doing it in complete seriousness, that is perhaps the most disturbing detail. The fact is, the book and movie were made by followers of the Ramtha cult. The female "channeler" bases her expertise as a "physicist" on the claim that Ramtha, this 3,000 year old spirit, appeared in the kitchen of her trailer house in Tacoma, Washington several years ago. And this pretentious, fake-accented "channeler" presents herself as THE "expert" on all things physics. Give me a break. This is riddled with lies, false assertions, and "experts" that are working way outside their "expertise". Buy a NOVA or PBS DVD instead...you'll be doing yourself a huge favor, because this is a complete rip-off. My spouse (a physicist) and myself (a professor) put this one through our shredder...barely worth the electricity to even shred the thing, but that's the only proper place for it.
Don't be fooled... November 24, 2008 Susan Smith (Michigan) Don' be fooled... I purchased this book expecting some interesting, scientific enlightening facts. Instead I got a bunch of new age hippies drawing gross speculations from quantum physics and repeated quotes throughout the book from a "God" named "Ramtha", who is actually just some crazy woman named J.Z. Knight who claims she can channel this God through her body (interestingly, Ramtha can only speak english, just like J.Z. Knight, even though he is supposedly a Lemurian warrior who fought the Atlanteans over 35,000 years ago). Don't waste your time, your money, or your mind.
Had Promise, But ... Disappointing October 5, 2008 Larry Jones (Granada Hills, CA USA) This book was promising to start with, and had some good premises which carried through the book, like that we are causative over our lives and we create our own reality. The Quantum stuff is interesting, though best studied in other places. But the book was ruined for me by the incessant return to one overriding theme: that we are just brains, or chemical reactions in a brain. The very concept that they kept pushing throughout the book, of breaking away from old paradigms and seeing things in a new way was consistently violated by their inability to break away from converting every idea, whether it was mysticism, quantum physics, eastern philosophy, or telepathy, to materialism, somehow reducing it down to brains. Sometimes they would even bring up phenomena that was totally unexplainable by physical means, like time travel, or being out the body, but by some twist of logic would settle back to the old paradigm of explaining away everything with the chemicals in the brain. So, for a book that had great potential I was ultimately very disappointed. A better read to open up your mind to the possibilities of existence is The Holographic Universe.
Scary September 30, 2008 gjoseph03 (Michigan) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It is amazing how the brain works. We limit ourselves. Take the limits off and let GOd be God. This book reveals how powerful our perspective is and how it shapes the lives that we live. We have such a shallow outlook when compared to God and the universe. Expand your mind. Be cautious that you keep your Biblical perspective and don't go off the deep end. I read with apprehension but I was very enlightened on the extent of our view of the world and how it affects our reality.
new paradigm? May 18, 2008 Adriana Marin Testone (bariloche, rio negro Argentina) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book helps people to have a new approach to the old question about mind life, consciousness, things that always worries and here with the quantun physisc it is possible to find new replies, on the other hand it is important to change the paradigm and ask ourselves why to follow a parading when we can build everyday the paradigm we need to follow living. It also gives the chance to look into many other books and authors which will enrich the human spirit. Nessary to open our new globalized mind
