What the bleep do we know: Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality
by William Arntz, Betsy Chasse, Mark Vicente, Jack Forem
Book Description
Do you want to take a trip down the rabbit hole? Get ready, because that's exactly what you'll do when you open this book! Never before has a book so dramatically altered the status quoor reality for that matter. With a genre-busting break-through format and layout, the graphics, colors and characters compel readers to ask themselves Great Questions that will recreate their lives as they know them. With the help of fourteen leading quantum physicists, scientist and spiritual thinkers, this book guide readers on a course from the scientific to the spiritual, and from the universal to the deeply personal. Along the way, it asks such questions as: Are we seeing the world as it really is? What are thoughts made of? What is the relationship between our thoughts and our world? Are we biologically addicted to certain emotions? How can I create my day every day? The answer to the last question is a resounding yes: you are an infinite set of possibilities, and you can choose every day which reality you want to create for yourself. This book shows you how. Authors Will Arntz, Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente transformed the movie world with their independent smash hit What the Bleep Do We Know?! Now they've brought their intelligent mix of science, spirituality and incredible graphics and storytelling to the printed page. The book features all new interviews with experts, relevant issues cut from the movie, deeper explanations of some of the more complex and important theories, and commentary from the authors about how these concepts transformed their personal lives for the better.




The Cosmic Game by Stanislav Grof
Explorations of the Frontiers of Human Consciousness (Suny Series in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology)
excerpted quotes from Association for Transpersonal Psychology
"Grof is a creative thinker, writer, and scientist who boldly challenges not only the limitations of Western scientific paradigm but also the existing neurophysiological models of the brain. He contends that human consciousness transcends the physical brain and is part of cosmic consciousness and that consciousness is the fundamental element of reality. His work and worldview have profound implications not only for psychology, science and philosophy but for all of us in that they portend a paradigm shift involving our basic assumptions about the nature of reality and, therefore, about the inherent nature of humans and of our relationships with each other, animals, plants, our planet, and the universe."
