I've read the sfgate article and am prepared to rent the movie.
My friend bugged me about not being able to get her copy of it through MSN Messenger.
It was friendly razzing, but I am certain it's a combination of her router and mine.
Anyway, the movie itself is about a spiritually uplifting film that gets people discussing it after the movie is over.
I am confident it will confirm much of what I've been writing about for the past couple of years.
*A side note here: I read a couple journals I'd written a couple years ago and it's total gibberish on the spiritual part, except maybe for a few reflections on Taoism. The Buddhist reflections ramble on, and don't make any sense.
Yet I find the stuff I've written over the past 2 months is making plenty of sense now.
So I'll go watch What the Bleep and see how close it fits my current ideology...

As far as the future is concerned, reality is chosen.
Yet reality itself is not always what we see it to be.
Nor is it especially what we say it is.
For no matter what we say, reality cannot reshape itself to agree with what we wish it to be.
This is the essence of What the Bleep tries to say.
That each of us may or may not truly reflect on what the movie has to say is up to each of us.
But to say that reality exists without each of us, is to deny reality itself.
One point Ramtha brings up is that a person is not really in love, but that she is in love with the emotional rush from being in love, and the high that that rush gives the person in love.
The hilarious drinking scene about an hour into the movie shows us the challenge placed before a person on anti-anxiety medication when combining them with alcohol.
However, alcohol's effect on us is predicated by our original addiction(s) on our favourite emotion(s), depending on the particular person.
After the wedding, this wisdom comes to the surface:
..."If thoughts can do that to water, imagine what thoughts can do to your mind."
I like the character Amanda 75 minutes into the film, because she is rewiring her mind to that she can better see herself and the world around her.
The writing on her body is like a bunch of magical spells to usher her into a bigger world than the one she previously occupied.
As long as we live a life restricted by poorly conceived ideal about good and evil, life will be this world of suffering that we try to rise above repeatedly every day.
When we rise above such a limited ideal of life, we can truly try to know ourselves.
Since our thoughts can affect our life, then we are affecting our destiny, the quantum field called "spirituality" or "unconditional love" or even "God."
And in thinking this way about myself, we come to know not only ourselves but our part in this journey called "Life."
