Yes this film is the educated intuitions of one informed person but all innovative thinkers will inevitably appear as lone voices as they begin to awaken our curiosity in a new possibility that challenges conventional ways of knowing about reality. An open mind will lead one to reflect on a key line in this film, " everything that exists is God. nothing exists that is not God ". The essence of this film is a very important guide to understanding our daily experiences of a very complex universe. The film's suggestion that by intentionally and genuinely directing our focus on living in harmony with our best intuitions we may well create a better community environment to enjoy living in, strikes a powerful chord within me. For those of you who get this suggestion, I know you will keep living more thoughtfully and sharing your enjoyment with those who are open to exploring this. Enjoy your journey girls and guys. Take Care, Will

I really found this documentary interesting. It seemed a lot less about quantum mechanics and seemed more about causing change to your surroundings through the imposition of will. The documentary asks some interesting concepts, such as "does reality cause thought, or does thought cause reality?" and "where does choice actually come from?" and "what is the real nature of God?" This documentary is more about philosophy than science, but it is ultimately quite interesting.Apparently there is a fascinating concept in quantum mechanics that essentially states that all objects are essentially manifested possibilities of objects. The author then puts forth the idea that force of will and intent can shape the possibilities and turn them into manifestations. Being a Wiccan, I can totally relate to the idea of visualization and imposition of will as tools of making change to one's environment.

I watched this movie tonight with very little expectations, I didn't even know what it was. I read the other reviews after I watched it. I don't understand why people find it hard to find meaning in the quantum life of everything? There were two negative reviews and one positive review. If what I gather from the negative reviews spoke to me and to what I use to make decisions in my life, I would have been disappointed - of course.This was about one teacher and one teacher's viewpoints on a current and evolving science that needs innovative thinkers to expand on the knowledge. I found him very engaging and very intuitive.Might not work for everyone. But take the negative or the biased reviews (heck take the positive ones in the same way) with a grain of salt. I don't agree with many politicians but I will still listen and provide constructive feedback. Why can't people do the same for scientists? Even ones that might be labeled "fringe" by the current culture. They might have something useful to say - like the one truth we can all find our way to agree on if we examine our own ways of thinking is that it is essential to treat people how you would honestly want to be treated.

Gosh, yet another something to buy as a shortcut to enlightenment. Yet again we encounter quantum physics as the magical combo: a scientific mystery that "proves" the mysteries beyond. Just what those mysteries are, depends on the salesman of course, but it is usually some Jungian truths presented with sparkly eyes.In this case, we get an esteemed professor who teaches the stuff, so he must know what he is talking about, right? Oh, and he is a Hindu with spiritual awards as well, so has street cred there too. Problems:What we have in this film is basically this one guy prattling on. I suppose one could edit this into a tight film like Linklater did in "Waking Life," or could spread out like we saw in "Ayurveda." Of we could have amusing animations like "What the ##."You have to know a few things. One is that just because someone teaches accounting doesn't mean he has insights into the dynamics of the economy. Quantum mechanics is clerical work; it is quantum logic (or whatever you choose to call the principles when divorced from physics) that is where the mysteries lay. You should also know that there is a long and seamy relationship between spiritual pitchmen and scientific notions: magnetism, vibrations, relativity, the fourth dimension have all had their turn as proof without realizing that they are metaphor.This is bad filmmaking, bad science and unconvincing spiritual wisdom. I would point the student to "Andrey Rublyov" instead.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
