Living in the mystery

Tonight my class watched a clip from the movie What the Bleep Do We Know? I already had an inkling of what I was getting into because I had a recent conversation with a new friend from Montana about quantum physics and the premise of the documentary. I admit, I was a little biased going into the film because I was so stoked for it. We were only able to watch a fifteen minute clip and after that short of time I was already getting a bit psyched out/getting the chills. My bf has seen the movie, and despite its life-altering perspective, he somehow has been living his life without being nutso about it, so it gives me some hope for myself! I already called a friend who is into psychology and married to a big physics guy, so I will hope to set up a full screening of it at some point soon here. I am going to ask you experience this film for yourself, and I am not going to reveal much about the film (since I really only watched a clip), but I can tell you that a quote that stuck with me was: "The true trick to life is not to be in the know but to be in the mystery." And how true is that!? The movie asks, why do we continue to re-create the same realities? Why is it that people pursue the same relationships, the same jobs, the same friends, etc., etc., when there are so many possibilities out there? What I think the film's answer to that question is because we (our brains) are trained to know reality in a certain way and we see/know/believe only what we think is possible. The brain processes 400 billion bits of information, we are only aware of 2,000. What does that mean to you?

I have felt so privileged and lucky to be a part of such a program that encourages me to "live in the mystery" and be on the edge of knowing. Holistic Health Studies offers many modalities that have not been put into "scientific" terms, but more and more studies and research is developing that is scientific and holding true. Beyond the studies, there is another truth and knowing that people can feel in their hands, their healing, their culture and their history, that I believe is linked to quantum physics. With physics as being a science that tends to lead other sciences, I feel privileged to be connected to such a field, and will continue to be amazed by all that we humans can control with our own minds. The possibilities are endless and I am willing to embrace this knowing and live in the mystery. It is too exciting not to!
