The other day as my wife and I was about to start a movie, I thought to myself that I no longer seem to find myself particularly excited about watching movies these day. Sure, some movies I am curious about in terms of special effects or some other shallow aspect. But apart from that it felt like it has been a very very long time ago since I saw a really good movie, one of those movies that really makes you reflect on things or stirs something deep inside you.

Tonight we saw a movie called What the Bleep Do We Know? A description from IMDB says: “This film plunges you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated - where neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived by its protagonist - where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought.”

Although the description sounds complicated, it really is an awesome movie. And as a Baha’i, it was so wonderful to see distinguished doctors in quantum physics and other fields come to the conclusion that the fundamental purpose (and I am quoting from the movie itself) and message of the universe is unity and that we are all one. Something, that Baha’u'llah, proclaimed almost 150 years ago.

Now,as good as all these doctors were doing, most of them went on to miss the point by dismissing religion (as a unifying force) and God as the Creator of all things and this due to their own preconceived notions or simply by looking at how mankind has turned religion and God into a man made set of traditions and rules. But at least they all agreed in the existance of consiuosness which some of them called ’soul’, so I guess they have made a bit of progress. I am not particularly familiar with quantom physics, so this movie was also a wonderful practical experience of seeing what harmony between religion and science would look like, i.e. having what I already know as a Baha’i explained from a deep scientific perspective.

Highly recommend watching this movie.
