“You don’t even know you don’t know…”

Talk about seed planting. We saw the original What the Bleep movie in theatres back in the Autumn of 2004. Everything presented was new to us and we struggled to piece things together. We walked out glad we saw it, but confused as to why it was raved about and recommended to us as such an “amazing, life changing” movie. We knew nothing at the time about quantum reality so we weren’t even sure if it was sci-fi, documentary, or parts of both! It was a fun ride, though.

Some of the seeds planted during our first viewing of the movie only started to take sprout several years later. When The Secret got huge, we remembered how What the Bleep talked about “creating your own reality”. When affecting things at a distance – energy healing, Qi pushing/pulling, etc. – presented itself in our lives, we recalled something in the movie about quantum physics being able to explain those otherwise unexplainable concepts. When channeled information finally became a part of our framework for understanding the universe, we remembered JZ Knight/Ramtha‘s existential contributions in the movie with interest instead of just a giggle.

When my holistic chiropractor introduced me to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that “releases emotion stored in the body”, the cartoon scenes of the colorful dancing blobs began to materialize in my mind’s eye. When we learned that the true quality of water is highly dependent on it’s cellular memory – what happened to that water before it got to us – we recalled with amazement the beautiful crystal patterns of “loved” water shown in the movie. When “ascension into the 5th dimension” became a phrase we were hearing everywhere, I tried so hard to recall what Bleep mentioned about other dimensions. (Note: Down the Rabbit Hole includes a final cartoon that explains 5D as best as anything can right now. So helpful!)

So even though our first viewing felt like it went way over our heads – and it did – it served as a launchpad for many great future realizations. Life is like that

To continue this chain of beautiful synchronicities, in early 2008 I was at the library and saw a DVD that sounded intriguing. Dr. Joe Dispensa’s “Mastering the art of Observation“: a 60 minute presentation that proposed “becoming a skilled observer may empower us to exercise a greater degree of mind over matter”. (We saw more of the “pay attention to have an intention” equation in Ian Lungold’s videos.) I remembered Dr. Dispensa from What the Bleep as “the guy who said he created his reality every morning”. I scooped that DVD up so freaking fast and we watched it that night. Production value aside (that aspect is MST3K worthy), the scientific explanation of mind over matter was amazing and it left us hungry for elaboration and practical ways to apply it. That’s when we found out that a new version of What the Bleep had been released and that it contained hours of extra footage. Score!

Questions like who am I, where did I come from, what should I be doing, why am I here, where am I going, etc. are the biggest questions we will ever have. What the Bleep Down the Rabbit Hole helped give us some insight on them. But better than that, it raised even more questions! (Cuz you know you’re on the right trail when you find more questions than answers.) I might even say that the movie helped us better form those questions and to begin to see how they are all inter-related. Nothing is random, nothing is outside the scope of anything else. Truly, All is One. You’re asked in the beginning of the movie “how much about your true nature do you really want to know”? Well, it came at a time in our lives when we were ready to throw ourselves head first down that rabbit hole, and we’re so thankful we did…

Where this movie really excelled for us is it’s accessability. Sean’s and my mind work similarly: very logical and analytical, yet appreciating the right brain stimulation of a fun “how to”. We both latched onto the format of having quite detailed interviews being interspersed with scenes of “drama” that gave examples of how the concepts looked in real life. The visualizations it provides for concepts that felt impossible to understand otherwise were also invaluable! The colorful blobs of emotion really brought the point home about the chemical dependency we all exist in with respect to our emotional states. The Dr. Quantum in Flatland cartoon at the end was invaluable for helping us wrap our head around 5D. We know what height, width, depth, and time are like, but what will the 5th dimension look like? (Answer: we don’t know. We can’t even imagine yet, but it’s going to be amazing.)

A funny aspect about future viewing for me is that I understand things differently each time, because of the current “filters” that I am viewing through! Like the first time I watched the movie in 2004, I had little real involvement with spirituality. The “religious” aspects were not a trigger for me. Upon first watching Down the Rabbit Hole, my spirituality had changed drastically. I remember one speaker on the DVD got my goat because of the derogitory way he spoke about Christianity. It was the lens, the filter that I was observing through. Now I watch him speak and think “Ooooh, I see what his points are now. He may not be very respectful about it, but I can see the Truth in his statements”. Each of us are ever-evolving, and I theorize that if you are actively trying to improve and educate yourself that you will also find successive viewings of Down the Rabbit Hole to be enlightening in new ways. I mean the name Down the Rabbit Hole couldn’t be more appropriate. The more we immerse ourselves in the search for Truth, the deeper we realize the “rabbit hole” goes…

If you haven’t seen Down the Rabbit Hole yet, you can get an affordable copy from Amazon, eBay, or Half.com. Your local library might even have a copy! Ours didn’t so we bought a new copy and are donating it after we watch it a couple more times. Gotta get the info out there…
