One of the things I really appreciate lately about all these book signings I've been doing, is hearing people’s stories; hearing their ideas, hearing the ideas we talked about in the film and didn't talk about in the film – and seeing how they’re all intersecting. I really feel a shift occurring. I feel that the energy level of consciousness is rising, and not just because of The Bleep. I think The Bleep came at the right moment when people were asking questions and that now things are ramping up. Everything and everyone are coinciding, you know?

And it's so interesting how I get this proven to me all the time. For example, whenever I go to these book signings, there's always one person sort of standing off to the side, not really in the signing, just sort of hanging out with their head cocked to one side. And I'll talk and sign books and at the end that person will walk up to me and go, “You know, I never heard of this movie, and I never heard of this book. But I've been searching for something that would give me some answers about myself, and I was drawn into this bookstore today. I wasn’t even planning on coming to this bookstore today.”

Like one lady was going to be picking up something next door, and it wasn't ready. So she had time to kill and just randomly ended up at a bookstore and then landed in our book signing and heard all these people talk. Because what I do in my book signings is, I don't just stand up and talk. We do like a round table conversation where everybody gets involved, and it goes back and forth. And you know what's inspiring is, sometimes it's not what I said, but what somebody else in the audience said that brought them in.

And they become so excited, because first of all they see a group of people having this conversation in a Borders bookstore, which in and of itself is a little weird… just to have somebody sitting there talking about quantum physics and consciousness in the Borders bookstore is not something people are used to seeing. And then there's a book and a movie... and they oftentimes walk away with both. And then I'll hear from them, because I always ask when this happens, “Please e-mail me and tell me did it make any sense. Did you like it? Did it help? And I always hear back from them because it changes their lives.

So what's interesting about this is – yeah, it's great that The Bleep changed their lives. But what’s really interesting is that, that’s consciousness creating reality; that's the quantum field at work. When this happens the people always say, “You know, I listened to the universe tell me to come into this bookstore today.” And that inspires me and it reminds me to listen. It reminds me to listen to that little voice in my head. Because that's when life changing things happen. That’s when a normal mundane Sunday afternoon turns into something incredible and magical.

There are a lot of reasons why we don't listen to the voice. And I think oftentimes for me, it's a matter of being secure enough of that voice, trusting enough of that voice. Because what happens to me sometimes, is that I doubt it. I doubt that it can happen that way, you know?

In fact, I just learned a really valuable lesson about that today and had a huge laugh. Because we're creating a soundtrack, right? And I’ve been saying, “I really think it would be cool to have a spoken word version of the soundtrack.” Like if you took the soundtrack of the movie and then you put quotes from the movie into the mix. And Will is like “Nah. We’re not going to do that.” blah blah blah.

And just today I get this e-mail from a really famous DJ. And he wants to take the first five minutes of the movie and do a spoken word track! So here’s the point: I didn't let that dream go. I just held it and then it came. And it came from a totally different direction than what I expected. And that happens to us all the time. And the lesson I've learned from this is that, you just have to hold the dream. You can't micromanage how it happens; you can’t control it, because when we don't try to control it, that's when magic happens. That's how these people got to the bookstores. That's how my silly idea of wanting to do a spoken word track is now going to happen. Because I just said, “Wouldn't this be neat?” put it out into the universe and then let it come to me.

And you know what? That's almost the fun of it now. That's the joy in life. Those are the surprises. I come up with some crazy idea, and I don't have any desire that it has to happen now. Because it's all now. So you just wait awhile and when it comes back to you, you have a huge laugh, because you remember the minute you created that dream.

We’ve got a great newsletter again this month – lots of articles and interviews and information about what’s new at The Bleep, including the Director’s Cut Version coming out next year! And we also want to give a special thanks to all the people who helped make the newsletter a success this year.

Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!

The Gift of The Observer

by Dianne Collins

The producers of What the BLEEP advise: It’s time to get wise. So…how’s that going for you? Getting wise, I mean. And by the way, how do you know if you are? Is it enough to know the scientific principles and spiritual maxims?

Sure, you and I know there’s a vastly distinct, more beautiful, elegant, and expanded multidimensional reality that works way different than what has predominated in our culture – the one-dimensional, mechanistic view of a tattered science. The movie crystallized that for us.

You watch the film. You’re resonating with something. You’re locking in on a code of consciousness that connects you to the aha! of all ahas! It’s a new awareness or a confirmation of a state you recognize. You know it deeply; a luscious reality you feel in your heart and know in your soul is “right.” You leave the film blissed-out. You tell everyone you know they simply must see it. Well, almost everyone.

But then the BIG question inevitably jumps out at you: How the Bleep do I live this knowledge:

That we really are One in consciousness and connected through the field.

That reality is malleable and we’re the ones wielding the reality mallet.

That every moment is alive and teeming with Possibility.

That our own act of Observation moves energy and manifests results.

That the “standard” reality could use an extreme makeover right now.

How do we make these principles a way of life? How do we make them mainstream? How do we Be it. Walk, talk and embody this new world view? Sometimes this gets tricky. We think we know things. Oh yeah, awesome – the quantum reality? I’m hip. I take baths in quantum foam. I mean, like I meditate every day.

What happens when you come out of meditation? You stroll into the kitchen and suddenly you’re in a heated debate with your mate over which way to arrange the dishes in the dishwasher. You turn on the TV or log on to your Internet news of choice and boom!your mind takes off – judging every politician and pundit who speaks outside of your POV. What happened to unity consciousness, compassion, unconditional love and the Both/And world? If you’re the Observer creating the reality, what reality are you creating now?

It’s not that we want to be that way. And it’s not even personal – it’s cultural. The conditioned mind tends to get hijacked by “Least-action Pathways.” A Least-action Pathway (LaP) is a term I adapt from science to indicate the mechanical habits of thought, habits of relating, and habits of acting that automatically kick in – an outcome of having been conditioned by a mechanical world view. A Least-action Pathway is the way the energy goes because it has been that route before. Awareness of principles is wonderful, essential. But in the heat of an LaP moment, awareness is simply not enough.

Sages and saints have admonished us: Wake up! The great yogic sage Pata ñjali said of the methods of waking up, ( I am paraphrasing) when all else fails you can awaken from noticing you are asleep. Makes sense. When you notice you’re asleep you’re already awake! The Tao Te Ching, the classic text of Taoist philosophy advises:

When you wish to contract something, you must momentarily expand it;

When you wish to weaken something, you must momentarily strengthen it.

If we want to know if we are livin’ it, it’s a good idea to notice when we’re not livin’ it.

Five Telltale Signs We’re Not Livin’ It

You’re still hiding out with your private wisdom stash.

As long as you’re hiding your wisdom and knowledge of the nature of our multidimensional reality and the way it works, concerned your ideas won’t be “accepted,” can you honestly say you’re livin’ it?

You’re acting as if there’s an Us and a Them.

You relate to people as if there are those “in the know,” the new paradigm folks – and then there are the other people. How do we get this mainstream? Let’s break it to ourselves gently friends: as long as we are holding ourselves separate from mainstream it’s not happening. It becomes mainstream when you are mainstream. It happens because you are mainstream. When we give up thousands of years of spiritual elitism and create the convergence of Traditionalists, Moderns, and Cultural Creatives – voilà!-Bleeper wisdom is mainstream.

You’re still living as if circumstances “rule.” (Even though you know they don’t).
As long as you think/believe there are immutable circumstances “out there” that you can’t do anything about, could this possibly be considered living the wisdom of “creating your reality?” Well, yes, you are creating that reality – the reality that you can’t do anything about it. Old world view > circumstances rule; New world view > Intent rules.

You create your Intent for the day and it’s not working.

You’re ready to call up Dr. Joe [Dispenza] and demand to know what went wrong. The thing is: Intent cannot not work. Universal principles are like that. Could it be you’ve got a few underground counter-Intents running in the background?

You think the Observer effect is only in effect sometimes.

Think of all the times you blame loved ones, the government, the corporations, the management, the technology – momentary amnesia – forgetting that in an Observer-created Reality what you bring is what you get all the time.

Let’s chew on that last one for a minute. In Observer-created reality, what you bring is what you get.

But you have to know what you’re bringing, moment to moment. And when you wake up to an automatic thought that’s been running the show, then what? Can the conscious mind override Least-action habits? In a word: Yes. It’s the only thing that can.

The sage says, “The world exists on the screen of your own consciousness.” Scientists indicate it’s an Observer affected world. There are distinctions but no actual separation between the Observer and the object of Observation. In the inimitable words of Dr. Quantum aka Fred Alan Wolf, “There is no ‘out there’ out there, independent of what’s going on ‘in here.’”

Observation is not mere seeing. It is not “perception.” Perceiving is a function of sense data, related to the ordinary five senses. Observation is an act of consciousness. We hold reality in place by what we hold in awareness including our thoughts, the meanings we ascribe to them, and our emotional responses to those meanings. Getting wise means you become aware of what you bring in your Observations. Or as Ghandi put it: You have to be the change you want to see in the world.

Observer Override

How do you interrupt the Least-action Pathways? You just notice them. You realize it is just a habit – an outcome of a limited world view and give no more meaning to it than that. You catch it in the moment it occurs and you consciously create a more enlivening Intent right then and there.

Okay, so it’s Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Ōmisoka, the summer and winter solstice. You’re invited to dinner at your parents’ house. Family members’ habits start to irk you. You judge. Then you catch yourself and prompt yourself gently, Whoa. Let’s interrupt that reality! Right there, in that very moment, you shift. With awareness you create the Intent that you and your loved ones experience deep love and connection; that they experience your appreciation of them. Then it happens. Magic unfolds. It’s that simple. It’s The Gift of The Observer. What you bring is what you get.

Give the gift of the Observer

The great meditation master Swami Muktananda had a sign placed over a huge archway as you entered the ashram grounds: See God in Each Other. Whatever you think of as God – the Void, Potential, Great Spirit, Quantum Field or Higher Self – when you see the divine consciousness in others you actually bring that out.

We love how we feel in the Bleeping field because it’s a conscious, high frequency space. Now imagine gifting that elevated awareness to someone else. It could be the ultimate in giving and receiving. And there’s a bonus. When you give it, you get it.

Make this holiday season special. Make The Gift of The Observer, the gift of loving awareness. Then rest assured you’ve finally found the perfect Present.
