What the $#@% Do We Know!? (Page 1 of 3)

The trailer looks pretty good I just watched it.

Is it a documentary or story or both? The trailer shows some people with their conciousness flying through a wormhole? And walking through a force field?

I haven't heard of this movie before and after reading Ayahuasca's post, I checked it on imdb.com.

Wow, just nearly the same reactions/comments with What Dreams May Come or Patch Adams*. Nearly half of the commentators claim they study/have a degree on "this" or "that" subject in a university and say all of the things in the movie is misleading or wrong or etc. Now, I haven't watched the movie, but I've lived and experienced enough to recognize that behaviour.

In 1997, just in the middle of my PhD studies on phytotherapy & botany, I decided to leave the university. I had come to a crossroad in my life and gave two important decisions: "1. stay away from the university if you look for real knowledge" "2. stay away from all of religions and temples if you search for the creator". Yes, I practiced them both from that time on.  The result? Better than I ever expected. I would never think of the things I've found in this 7 years, especially last 8 months.

Anyway, while reading to these comments about the movie on imdb.com, once more I realized universities function as centers of programming and restriction. This may be suitable (and maybe necessary) for lots of people - but do not/never did work for me. One of the better films I've watched is Patch Adams and I never forget the expression on Robin Williams' face in the lesson scene at medical faculty. He exactly reflected feeling the pain/boredom of programming and restriction in the name of "academic knowledge" on his face.

I don't know if I'm too "far out" or not, but I simply see academic knowledge as airport transport bus or train. Ok, it may get you to some point, but you have to step out of it if you want to get on to a airplane - and go much further!

I know that we're on same wavelength with lots of people here on NR. I was in UK for some time last month** and came back to Istanbul now, realizing a lot of new things. Same thing here on NR, I see that some new names joined us with great new experiences and insights.

* PS: Both Patch Adams and especially What Dreams May Come may have some misinformations and misleading knowledge, but this is not the issue. They are frontiers that showing us life may be different than we currently believe.

** PS II: You're right Ayahuasca, Leeds Castle is not in Leeds! By the way, I had the chance to do some research on crop circles there and realized some interesting info - most ufo sightings in Europe is seen in southern Britain!

It's playing here now until next Wednesday at one Loews across town from me, my car is acting up, and I have to work tomorrow.  If I can get someone else rounded up we can take the rail transit straight to it up from a park & ride near my office.  Actually I'd like several people with me as the park & ride is in an area prone to muggings.  I am absolutely mad to see the movie.  If I miss it now I'll just wait for the DVD.  I've heard from one person who saw it when it first started and said it was awesome.  He wants to see it again.  As to the remarkable numbers of people flocking to the movie, I think it shows how badly many of us want to make sense of things.

i just saw this movie.

it is pretty good, although i think many of you here will agree with me and my girlfriend when we said "well, this is stuff we already knew" - its things that spiritual people like us take for granted, things like other dimensions and how the universe isnt how we conceive our physical world to be.

its mostly based around Quantum Physics (which was kind of wierd, they should have thrown in some string theory and other things) and how Quantum Theory says the universe is doing all sorts of crazy stuff.

its like a documentary mixed with a story/movie... it makes for some conflicting scenes just .... some kind of clashing sometimes.

its good though, it has ALOT (its pretty long, i think almost a solid 2 hours) and it will help alot of 'sheeple' to wake up, while it reinforces the things weve been saying for years now.

Well, they don't give any proof of a negative agenda that I can see. There is also a lot of Christian bias in that article, which should set alarm bells ringing. I know that the Noetic Institute is also related to Bob Monroe's Institute which has also been targeted with claims of it being a mind-control cover organization. I've yet to see evidence, REAL evidence not hearsay, of these claims. Go and take a look at the Noetic Sciences Institute's website, read through their material, and decide for yourself what role they have.

We saw this movie opening night with some other people.  Like zonabi, it wasn't anything we didn't already know.  The movie was alright, but certainly not mind blowing.   It didn't affect me in any way.  I didn't care for Marlee Matlin's character - too grumpy and negative for me.  Thought it was hokey in parts, and by the time it got to the Polish wedding scene, it seemed to become an entirely different movie altogether.    (insert 70's porn music here....boun chicka boun boun..)   But I can see how for regular mainstream people it might open up new perspectives, get them to snap out of their trance and look around at their reality and actually SEE it for once instead of just passing through it on autopilot, caught up in the illusion...
