Acknowledgments
I t was over six years ago when I got the idea to make a movie about spirit and science. It was a little movie at firsta few interviews and some stick-figure animation. But I started to get a sense that there was a larger interest in things quantum and things spiritual and that people were hungry for a different way to look at the world and their lives. My collaborators, Mark Vicente and Betsy Chasse, shared that vision, and soon we were embarking on a film project on obscure subjects, which would play in theaters around the world.
Ignored by the film industry and panned by the critics, What the BLEEP Do We Know!? found its audience and went on to become a hit. Prompted by the sudden success of both the movie and the book, my colleagues and I were asked the same two questions over and over: Were you surprised by the success of What the BLEEP Do We Know!? and what has been the reaction to these works?
I think we three filmmakers were about the only ones who were not surprised! First off, we knew there was a large, underground segment of society that was truly interested in this type of material. The leading edge of scientific discovery seems to hold a universal fascination, while intersecting it with long-held truths from the mystical realm makes the science applicable to everyday life. Whenever I got into conversations with people about this material, everyone was intrigued: Quantum physics says that?! My cells do what?! I-I-I create my-my-my experience?! So we knew the people where out there; it was just a matter of getting it to them.
Which comes to the second reason we werent surprised: We created it! Our intent always had been to have this film be a theatrical success, to get it around the world, and ultimately to have 100 million see it. Why 100 million? Well its a big number, and during our interviews, it became apparent that all those minds focused on a new reality would in fact shift something. We didnt know what, but we all felt that the planet needed a nudge....
So when all the film distributors turned us down, we decided that the universe was making us walk the walk. Our films and books have a lot of information about creating reality, so we simply put those ideas to the testour little science project. To date, weve been distributed in over thirty-five countries and have had this book translated into Korean, Hebrew, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German, Italian, Russian, Greek, Spanish, French, Turkish, Croat, Romanian, Catalan, and Hungarian. Were closing in on that 100 million.
So now that ideas about creating reality, our innate divinity, and consciousness are out there in the world, what has the world to say about them? Interestingly enough, either people really like it or they absolutely despise it. If you look at comments on various websites, the film and book get either five stars or none, with very few ratings in between. And, although we were not surprised by the success, there have been some surprises in the reactions.
Surprise #1: We thought we would get a lot of flack from religious people because of the comments about certain aspects of religious dogma, specifically the comments about the judgmental, angry God and the notions of eternal heaven and unending hell. Aside from one picketer in Portland, Oregon, we have gotten very little criticism from religious groups. In fact, most of the people who consider themselves religious have been very thoughtful in their comments and have welcomed another look at spirituality and God.
