Yeah, he doesn't look, act, or sound fifty five. That was a fun little video. Plus, a good point...it's not always good to grow up too quick and to stifle the child within.

its really true.. people reach a certain age and they stop doing the things they cared about as a younger person. i see people like dr love who are 55 but they are out of shape, cant do physical activities anymore. Im not really getting this message hes giving but i know that if you want something you can achieve it , arnold schwarzenegger is like 55 and hes in amazing shape.. so are many other old dudes who i see at my gym... Oh yeah, DR love dont look 55 at all. Look at STING the singer.. he looks great, hes all into that tantric stuff an yoga/meditation. these guys must know something we dont.
here i found this from an interview
Oprah: In [the song] "Send Your Love" you talk about real religion...What is your true religion?
Sting: Religion is an interesting word. It comes from Latin; it means to reconnect, reconnect with the world of the spirit. There are many ways to reconnect with the world of the spirit, not just through going to church or praying, you can reconnect through music, through the woman or the man you love. These are my roots to the sacred. This record [Sacred Love] is really about approaching the sacred through normal things.

It is a bad mental loop that reinforces this message: "I am old, and can't do young things anymore because I am old, I am old, I am old."
Think that way and watch how fast you become old and then even your thought processes become old. The body follows the command sof the mind. Think in terms of what you can't do - and your body will listen and not allow you to do it. Think in terms of what you can do, and your body will try to make itself be able to do it.
We have all seen spritely old people who are zippy, chipper, quick, nimble, in shape, and still beautiful and sharp as a tack even though they may be in their 70s or past! Look at Jack LaLaine. Try and get that busy energetic guy to say, "I'm too old to do something that's for the young folks."
He'll NEVER. He'll be dead before he ever says that.
Our body ages according to how fast our mind ages it and believes it should age, and what we eat, what we believe, and how we keep the temple of our body tuned by taking care if it, thinking correctly, and excercising and staying active, and VIBRANT.
I know many friends who are my same age who look like they have one foot in the grave, yet I seem to look the same or better than I did when I was 24 - 25. As a matter of fact, I didn't really find fitness until 28 so at 25 I looked like complete shit, actually OLDER than I look now!
People who whine that "I'm getting older now I can't do that" are using it as an excuse. What they really mean is, "I'm too lazy to take responsibility for my health mind and body. I don't want to excericise I want to eat taco bell and watch the Simpsons."

There are some crackpots and kooks and frauds out there. Kooks are good, I would say you and I are kooks so don't knock the kooks, they keep things interesting.
This guy was none of the above. He radiated calm, health, peacefulness, fun, and love. I don't know if that's what you saw. Maybe you saw a nutcase but if that's nuts, then I'm all for it. I know people in their late twenties or early 30s who look like they are dying and also have the attitude of a trapped droid. He was 55 and you'd never know. Why do some people look and feel like death at that age? Why are there older people who are crisp, fresh, childlike (in the good way, not pooping their pants), and agile and ALIVE and aware. I know it's more than just luck. I know it's more than just genetics.
So as far as the philosophy of it goes, I believe it intensely. Consciousness creates things and is ultimate reality expanding. Your individual thought and feeling are like magnets in this physical reality. The thought or idea is the blueprint, like seeing yourself achieving or doing some goal, whatever it may be, and then the feeling you have as you visualize this (say feeling excited or happy) is the power or the energy that projects that wish out into the matrix of the universe. This could be as simple as you thinking of your friend and imagining a trip, and suddenly the friend calls you, or it could be as complex as Walt Disney's vision of his amusement park empire.
Imagine if in the begining he told people (who were especially conservative during his time), "I am going to make a world and name it after myself where characters I have created in my imagination will walk around for real and people can enter fantastic experiences in my own little (or now huge) world. I'm sure many people thought Walt was a complete egotistical crackpot....but then... as he dreams and visions became reality, slowly but surely, he was no longer nutso, he was a visionary, a genius.
Your intuition leads you towards actions, while the universe itself brings together the things needed to make your thought manifest - your thought powered with your feeling attracts people, events, and things, like a magnet, just as surely as magnetic force is real. This has been proven to be true now with quantum physics, so if you are of the scientific type and want some hard data - google Princeton university and consciousness experiments. I'll dig up some links and post them later.
My sojourn from this place for a while was me investigating some more of this stuff for myself to understand and know more about what reality is... what is actually going on here, and to have some more control over things in a positive way rather than just reacting and reacting and running or feeling fearful of a 'dull grownup world'. I think what's lacking from spirituality is more humor. I don't see God as a guy with a beard (although he could be for people who believe in that)and when I say spirit I certainly don't mean religion - although that works for some people very well.
Anyway, more on that later.I am still experimenting. I guess this topic should be moved to the philosophy box.
What have you been up to?

I would consider what I do 'controlled kookery'. I may act kooky when I allow myself to. Yet I am a rational, responsible human being with a good job, home, car, partner, etc.
'Dr. Love' indeed looks to me to be someone who is in his fifties. Everyone ages differently, mostly based on amount of physical activity. To say that the man looks to be in his 20's is deluded. Or you're comparing him to the biggest mess of a 30 year old that you ever met (Pharris?).
All this new-age crap is just a crutch for the meek who seek a deeper meaning in what they feel is a menial existance. Everyone wants to believe that they are somehow more important, more connected, more enlightened than most everyone else. That's how these cultlike fads work.

Well the theme of the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" and the convention I was at was not one of people who wanted to believe that they were somehow more important, more connected, more enlightened, or better, than most everyone else.
The message of the entire thing was that EVERYONE has the capability (and in fact is doing it - weather they realize it or not)of consciously creating their reality here in the physical world, and further understanding the source and cause of things, including physical reality, consciousness, and realities of different characteristics.
Is the point of life to just have a 'good job, a home, and a partner' as you say? Is that what everyone is supposed to do? If you just die then what's the point? I'm not saying that is bad or good. It is something that is obviously working well for you. What about visions beyond that? Or different vissions? Certainly people have 'jobs' that they enjoy and love and flourish in because they don't seem like a forced job, but an exciting thing they enjoy to do, and then their are people who work very very hard, and experience very little satisfaction, happiness, or love, and feel the world is just a grind.
What is the cause of this? Where does it really come from? This is what movies like "What the Bleep" focus on. There is nothing wrong with living what would be considered the average american or worldy responsible life if you are very happy and truthful about enjoying it, but why do so many people just do and feel the grind?
Where did you come from? What are you?
For instance, you could say you are the physical body that you are in the town that you are in and so and so, but what force animates that physical body? Why do you have conscious control over certain things.. like you could say the word 'doodle' right now, yet your heart beat and breath operate on a contant premise that you can't remember training.
What is real? Is reality only the physical objects and people you encounter day to day in front of your face? Then what is thinking, or dreaming for that matter? Certainly they are 'real' things as far as an experience goes because they happen - but we seem to only call that which is 'real' the stuff that happens in the consistent timeline of our waking world.
The difference between becoming more aware and understanding your true nature, source, power, ability, conscieness awareness and oneness with everything, and a cult, is that a cult is going to try to tell you THEIR way is the right or only way, and try to isolate you with them or your point of view, or extract more and more sums of money or service from you and demand more exclusion of any other ideas.
Truth and awareness simply presents itself, and encourages you to use and test the knowledge for yourself, and prove it to yourself, to where something goes from simple 'pondering the possibility' to 'understanding the probability' to 'knowing' because you are using the principles and they are actually working. No one forces something on you - you investigate, try, and find out and know for yourself.
So keep an open mind.
I am not saying that this stuff is for you, and 'What the Bleep' is just a fraction of the information I have been comparing and studying to understand consciousness and look at it from all points of view. Most of these new books and movies are based on very old texts that were simply banned by kings or churches that wanted to keep knowledge, control, or power to themselves, and have everyone else bumbling about for the promise of something better 'later'.

I think in the new age field there are as many crooks /egotists etc as they're are people with something worthwhile to offer.. i think the same thing holds true for science.
Science can provide a lot of beneficial things for us, unfortunately meaning isnt one of them. Science can only comment and offer insight on things that can be measured (except maybe Quantam stuff but then it becomes a theory rather than science)
Maybe science needs to address the tough questions now.....

Well quantum mechanics has done measurable tests that prove consciousness and the mere fact of observing something changes it. The most famous of these tests is the shooting of one electron through a gate with two slits in it. When an observer is present, the electron acts like a particle - meaning it forms a concrete thing like a tiny marble. When no camera observer is present, the photon acts like a wave - meaning it has a 'realm of probability and interference' rather than being at a localized point in space-time.
This of course, as Douglas Adams would say, 'is impossible,' but it is. Classical physics has to accept it, and it first it boogles the mind - especially that of a physical based materialist scientist. It gives him a material answer that absolutely just can't be, yet is, but if you really think about it...well, there's your answer - it's the thinking - the thought, that forms the wave of probability into a focused point of reality to us.
Video... this is very simple cartoon explanation but the experiment is very real:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc
I find this video one of the most beautiful in explaining people's self imposed limits and multi-dimensional consciousness:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=BWyTxCsIXE4&mode=related&search=
If you can look at that and begin to undretsnad that happening infinitely - you really start to get the WOW factor of existing.
Funny I should name this place Blackout's Box... and I always used to say you have to think outside of it. Maybe it's time to get rid of the box alltogether.

I think science's most valuable contribution could be to the spiritual / psychological realm...
The outside world in general is only a fraction of what we experience as human beings... until we understand more about conscience/life and death the rest is just window dressing...

That said i'm fascinated by cosmology and quantum mechanics.... I was reading a book by Brian Greene and he mentioned a clever variation of the slit experiment performed over years that gave the same results implying that time had no meaning at the quantam level... it was as if the photon didn't make its decision until it was observed even though it was years after the initial decision was made.... I think it's called quantam erasure... not sure...

This whole 'what the bleep' nonsnese is a known and identified cult. All of their 'scientific' thories have been quashed as incorrect and bfundementally flawed by the scientific community - just another group trying to separate spiritully needy people from their money.
Honestly speaking, the whole 'philisophical' thing gets a bit tired. I cant speak for everyone, but as far as I know, most people here are here for comedy and videos and pranks and that sort and could care less about all this pseudo-spiritual nonsense.

Cult? I googled it and I think you are right.
Listen to this about it.
Here is a quote from this article that sums it up pretty well:
quote:
[...]the whole thing is really the production of a cult based in the Pacific Northwest that believes that a woman named JZ Knight is able to channel a 35,000 year old mystic named Ramtha.
JZ Knight's web page
According to Salon, they bend the scientific evidence:
quote:
David Albert, a professor at the Columbia University physics department, has accused the filmmakers of warping his ideas to fit a spiritual agenda.

Look it up, folks - this what the bleep is a KNOWN bullshit group.

The What the Bleep stuff was already annoying, but now that I find out it is a recruitment front for that Ramtha chic's cult, it is even more annoying.

Maybe you guys should start a cult ragging of at what the bleep....
I must admit the acting was cheesy and airy fairy and maybe some people where pushing agenda's but still i think there was some value in the film.
You can't dismiss a whole work because of some issues... otherwise science would have been out the window when they found out the earth was round... They should of listened to Colombus.
I definately lean towards the science over the spiritual stuff but science doesn't offer many answers in the spiritual areas...

No, you can dismiss it - its very simple.
The scientific community has come out and shown that all of their scientific data is wrong. Things they are presenting as 'scientific fact' about quantum physics and mechanics, chemistry, things like that. They make claims based on certain formulas and those formulas are incorrect.
Basically, they are a cult. There is no value in their goofy agenda except parting fools with their money and time.

I don't think the data is wrong but perhaps the conclusions they draw from it are questionable and open to interpretation, frontier science is like the bible, people can take the existing data and twist it anyway they like...
The only scientist i've read from what the bleep was Fred Alan Wolf and his book on parallel universe was well written and he seems well respected... if what the bleep makes some hippies read a book on theoretical physics i think its certainly worth something....

Here is the Wiki listing....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_the_Bleep_Do_We_Know!%3F
It covers some of the mistakes etc many of which i have no qualms with... it's just not a very balanced article...it seems all you have to do is label something controversial and you can just tear it down without highlighting the reasons why so many people saw the film and any value inherent in the film...
Now i'm not going to back this film at the expense of my better judgement but its certainly a worthwhile attempt to tie spirituality with science... unless we open our vistas a little science will have us a super advanced and terminally miserable race.
By limiting thinking to todays paradigms science can act as a blinker to thinking individuals...
