Philosophy What the Bleep Do

Philosophy What the Bleep do we Know? There were several parts of this film that were new truths for me, including the ideas that there are alternate realities where you might even be able to see yourself in many different forms, and that we all recreate the same realities in our lives over and over, like the same jobs, the same relationships, etc., instead of taking control and changing our lives.

I think these are powerful ideas, and that they help me, and other people see things in vastly different ways. It is a new way of looking at the world around you and what you see, but most of all about how you react to what you see, and what choices you make about what you see.

I'm not sure what I thought about this before, but I see now that there are many different ways of looking at things, no matter how much you think you "know" about them, and I think I will try to look at things more openly and with a more open mind, rather than just assuming I'm seeing what I'm seeing.

I think that this film made me think about how we think about and view the world around us, and we take if for granted a lot of the time, when there are really miracles and wonders out there all the time. For me, the most skeptical part of the movie came when the mathematicians were talking about quantum physics and how nothing is as it seems, and that everyone recreates their own reality according to agreement and their own experience.

For example, they talked about the Native Americans that first saw Columbus' ships not being able to "see" them because they did not have any experience that something like this existed. I just do not buy that. They were there, they were real, and the existed, they were not "invisible" because the natives had not seen them before.

They might not have been able to make sense of what they saw, and they might have thought they were monsters or something evil sent to harm them, but I do not believe the could not see them just because they had never seen ships before. I also had a hard time with come of the other physics concepts, like things can exist in more than one space at once, but we do not choose to see them, and so, when we look they disappear.

A lot of this discussion was over my head and I found it boring, but I also was skeptical about some of the ideas, because they were so "out there." They talk about what is real, and what we see vs. what we remember, and I can understand that, but some of the other concepts were just too strange for me, like the atom discussion, and how nothing is solid, even though it appears solid.

OK, that may be true, but in my experience, when you hit cement, it is pretty solid, and I'll stick with that experience. I want further proof of that, and further proof that we can go back in time and ahead in time. I think that is just too difficult to comprehend and to actually prove, and they can believe it if they want, but I'm skeptical.

I think the most pressing questions about human existence were in the opening of the film, "Why am I here, and what purpose do I serve? What am I supposed to do?" These are hard questions, and some that a lot of people never find the answer to during their lives. I worry that many people's lives have no purpose, and when they die, they really don't seem to matter.

So why were they here? I don't want to feel that way about my life, and I think that is one of the most.
