Starring Marlee Matlin who is guided by world leading physicists, biologists, religious scholars and mystics as they discuss evidence connecting spirituality and science.

In this DVD--which is part documentary and part fictional story delivered in layman’s terms with many dramatized examples--world experts challenge the viewer to examine the way in which he views life, and the way in which he chooses to engage it. Scientific evidence is shown that connects spirituality and science, and challenges people to think beyond the norm by offering alternative perspectives. It is not a collection of definitive answers to the meaning of life, definition of god, or explanation of the soul. But it can offer insights to help the viewer broaden his viewpoint and come to greater understanding about himself, the universe and how everyone is connected. With scientific experiments, the DVD offers proof that it is possible to be scientifically-minded and believe in some variation of a higher power.

Religion Versus Spirituality and Science

The trap many secular spiritual discussions fall into is the religion-bashing mode. This DVD avoids this and sticks to scientific evaluations. The commentaries and dramatic enactments offer interpretations of the factual data collected by various renowned experts in easily understood layman’s terms. Also included in the discussions are religious scholars so that all sides of the spiritual debate are present. The question of who is God is discussed, as is the debate of good versus evil. But the DVD does more than just offer information to ponder…

Tools to Increase Existential and Spiritual Understanding

More than just a collection of scientific debates, this DVD offers up tools based on science and results-oriented actions that the average person can use in his life to maximize on potential, emotional growth, and physical and spiritual empowerment. With so many people searching for answers to life’s hard questions and trying to find meaning in a world that inundates its societies with contradicting messages, this DVD proves a lifeline to a logical, enlightened new approach. It will challenge the viewer to expand his way of thinking without threatening to decimate spiritual or religious beliefs. In fact, many religious leaders use these DVDs to help their constituents live as faith-filled people in a modern, secular world.

Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life

What The Bleep Do We Know!? is not about answers. It is about asking the right questions and finding ways to create a new perspective on the world and your place in it in a logical, factual manner. As the DVD says, the brain processes 400 billion bits of information per second, but each person is aware of only 2,000 of those bits. This collection of data is like a map in the mind connecting perceived facts with emotions. If you follow the same set of footprints each day, you will end up in the same place each night. As Dr. Joseph Dispenza says in the film: “Change means that we have to abandon our old self. It means we have to leave behind our identity for a few moments and begin to speculate who we could be…Change means modifying our behavior enough so that it’s permanent.”

This DVD challenges the viewer to forge new intellectual and emotional pathways to truly realize full human potential. For anyone looking to gain new insight on the world and the meaning of life, this is an excellent, intelligent resource.
