This Pod is dedicated to fans of the wonderful movie, What the Bleep Do We Know!? which inspired me to further my Quest for Clarity & Exploration Beyond Possibilities to Co-Create my own Reality. Somewhere in this Pod, a Secret will jump from the Web & stand before you in the Present, between your Past & Future… when it...(more) appear, you will recognize it… &if you are ready for it, it would mark an important turning point in your life…
I must stress that it does not matter to me where you are or what are the circumstances of your life at this very moment. For as Napoleon Hill said, “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.”
Join this Pod NOW! “The time resembles the exciting beginning of spring when the cosmic forces are in inspired harmony. There presently exist the ideal conditions for new awakenings, healthy growth and progressive plans. It is a totally cooperative environmental setting that leads to the flowering and prospering of what is now aroused.” ~ R.L. Wing
Please use this Pod to:
1. Share stories on how the movie has touched & made a difference to your life.
2. Share ideas on how we go further down the rabbit hole together :-)
P.S. Now dedicated also to fans of The Secret, Waking Life, Mind Walk, Peaceful Warrior & The Celestine Prophecy.

“Thank you for your inspiring writings.” ~ Laura, Washington, USA
“What an exciting discussion! Thank you so much for creating the space for us to help each other evolve and grow. I appreciate all the energy and time you and others have put into this pod and for all the links you offer.” ~ Elena, Northern New York
“I was really hesitant at first, because the topic (the nature of reality–yikes!) is so all-encompassing and (ultimately) so immune from scientific confirmation, that I feared posts would be all vague and mushy. I'm pleased to say that I was wrong! Posts are on-topic and thoughtful. Thank you so much for the invitation!” ~ Felicia Betancourt, Berkeley, CA
“All the time. It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time - namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.” ~ Joseph Campbell
To celebrate & mark this day, I've added a prefix to the original name of this pod + a new picture that is more representative of What the Bleep Do We Know!?
At the time of this post, our Pod have grown to 366 members & is one of the top 5 most popular pods @ Zaadz!
This would not have been possible without your participation & contribution. Thank you for your Presence & Sharing of Positive Energy. You Are the Reason this Pod came into Being.
This sure inspires me to write more and share more. Hope it inspires you to do the same :-)
Addtion on 25th July 2006:
My intention is that this pod grows beyond The Bleep, The Secret & what else may come… along this same line of thought, I hope this pod can also grow beyond any limited beliefs I may have.
I love The Bleep & it turns out to be a great framework for discussion.
In the emails I've been receiving, many of our friends are revealing that this movie sort of affirms what they already know… & somehow gave them/us permission to talk about the invisible life force more openly…
Hence as a first step, we must all be allowed to freely express what we believe in without fear of being wrong etc… some of us never found this to be difficult… but there are many who do… In this same way, I encourage subjective interpretation… the sharing of personal experience & interpretation in the spirit of learning, loving & living life to the best of our potential. “Collective Consciousness & Unconsciousness co-create Collective Reality, which in reality is only Collective Illusion, which we can also label as Collective Delusion… …” ~ Alex Chua
Addtion on 28th August 2006: Our generous members have been very lively & the discussion continued to be very stimulating, especially in my absence during the past 2 weeks. I'm very grateful for that.
Things are getting a little messy & I'll be creating a sort of content page here for ease of navigation. Let's see how this goes.
“In reality, every reader is, while he is reading, the reader of his own self. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument which he offers to the reader to enable him to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never experienced himself. And the recognition by the reader in his own self of what the book says is the proof of its veracity.” ~ Marcel Proust
“An effect of reading a book which has devoted attention to noticing such faint yet vital tremors is that once we've put the volume down and resumed our own life, we may attend to precisely the things the author would have responded to had he or she been in our company. Our mind will be like a radar newly attuned to pick up certain objects floating through consciousness; the effect will be like bringing a radio into a room that we had thought silent, and realizing that the silence only existed at a particular frequency and that all along we in fact shared the room with waves of sound coming in from a Ukrainian station or the nighttime chatter of a minicab firm.” ~ Alain de Botton
“We feel very strongly that our own wisdom begins where that of the author leaves off, and we would like him to provide us with answers when all he is able to do is provide us with desires…That is the value of reading, and also its inadequacy. To make it into a discipline is to give too large a role to what is only an incitement. Reading is on the threshold of the spiritual life; it can introduce us to it: it does not constitute it.” ~ Marcel Proust
“We should read other people's books in order to learn what we feel; it is our own thoughts we should be developing, even if it is another writer's thoughts that help us do so. A fulfilled academic life would therefore require us to judge that the writers we were studying articulated in their books a sufficient range of our own concerns, and that in the act of understanding them through translation or commentary, we would simultaneously be understanding and developing the spiritually significant parts of ourselves.” ~ Alain de Botton
Finally, “Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to own the questions themselves, like locked rooms and books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually without even noticing find yourself experiencing the answer on some distant day.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke (less)

- ( Henry David Thoreau )(5 months ago)
I feel since we are all on our path traveling at our own pace everyone eventually will wake up. But in the meantime I feel it's best for those who are further along on their path not to judge those who are not because EVERYONE started in a state of unawareness. We've all been there…
Yes I think I agree with that. It is a part of my own personal evolution that I am working on changing this within myself. It is so very easy to judge another. We are taught from birth from every direction to judge others and in some cases to judge others harshly. However things can be unlearned and this is a thing I am unlearning. I am of course a work in progress. I do feel I have made substantial progress however since I seem to judge less often as well as less harshly and when I do judge I tend to catch myself at it and correct myself reminding myself that it's their path and I am not here to judge. If anything perhaps I am here to provide an example not through speaking but through being.
