River Why

THE RIVER WHY
Movie, 2010



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1241329/

Excerpts:


Gus: You believe that stuff?

Titus: I'am not sane, Gus.
I believe in the rivers of living water.
I believe our should swim in that water.
I believe that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammad are the savor in that water.

Gus: Wish I believed that.

Titus: And why don't you?

Gus: Bait or fly.
Fried or scrambled.
Jesus or Mohammad.
I mean, does it really make any difference?
Does it really matter?
Where are all these sages and buddhas holing up...
now when we really need 'em?

Titus: Well, would you know one if you met one?

Come on, Titus.
Even Izaak Walton talks about the goodness..
of the God of nature.
I've never seen Him, and I've fished in ten states.
Whoever, whatever, wherever He is or isn't..
if He really wants me to notice Him
maybe He should stop being so scarce.

All right. Why can't a duffer like me catch a fish?
Isn't the answer obvious?
Isn't it because at my present level of skill
the fish would have to be so damn dumb
and utterly unelusive as to be not worth catching?
And how much more elusive...
should a thing as wondrous as a soul be?
Fisherman should be the easiest of men to convince...
to search for their souls,
because fishing is nothing but...
the pursuit of the elusive.
How can you be so patient in searching for fish...
and so hasty to write off your soul...
because you can't see it.



You can't keep a person
in a place he doesn't want to be.
-- No, but can't you at least make it a place
-- that they might wanna visit?

Run Like I'm a River...

Is There Any Sixth Sense

IS THERE ANY SIXTH SENSE
[THROUGH THE WORMHOLE]

Is There Any Sixth Sense
EXCERPTS

Inner Consciousness
[layer by layer]


Global consciousness

Global Consciousness Project

Roger reasoned that if one person sitting close by
could alter their readouts,
then perhaps the mass thoughts of entire cities
could do the same.

Could Random-Number Generators placed around the world
be used to track the minds of millions of individuals?

What we have done is set up a scientific experiment
with a fairly simple hypothesis.
The idea is,
when large numbers of people share a consciousness state,
especially emotional,
then our network will show deviations from randomness.



Morphic Field


The sixth sense is effectively
the ability to detect information at a distance --
that's one f the definitions --
through mechanisms not known to date.


The experiment seems to show
that two brains in separate locations
can share a single experiences.

Human thoughts are not non-physical.
They are physical units of action potentials
from the nerve itself.

Can they be transmitted across space?
Under certain conditions, absolutely,
and there's evidence for it.



Cosmic Consciousness


Erwin Schrodinger,
one of the founders of quantum mechanics,
designed a thought experiment to drive home
the strange rule of his theory.

Let's say we put a cat and a vial of poison in a box.
We add an atom of radioactive uranium
and a Geiger counter.
if the uranium decays,
its sets off the Geiger counter,
which then releases the poison and silently kills the cat.
Before we open the box and look,
we can't actually know whether the uranium has decayed or not
since radioactive dacay
is a probabilistic quantum event.

Here's the question.
Is the cat dead or alive?
Well, according to quantum mechanics,
the cat is neither dead nor alive
but the sum of the two states.
Well, at that point, you say,
"Well, that's nonsense,
that's preposterous.
How can you be both dead and alive simultaneously?"

Schrodinger's cat was supposed to show
that NOTHING IN THIS UNIVERSE IS CERTAIN
UNTIL SOMEONE MAKES A MEASUREMENT.
But another pioneer of quantum mechanics,
Eugene Wigner,
believed it could teach us
something else about the working of the universe --
that consciousness controls everything.

Winger said, "Let's take it one step farther.
"If I, a human being, looks at the cat,
I am conscious.
Therefore, consciousness determines existence."
At that point, Einstein went ballistic
and said, "What?"
"You're saying that the fact that you are a conscious being
determines the fact that the cat is alive?"
The answer is yes,
and Wigner made one more step.
and that is,

"How do I know I'M ALIVE?"

You see, the cat and me, we're part of the same universe.
If i don't know the cat is alive or dead,
I could also be dad at the same time
and not even know it.
So, who detemines that I'm alive?

Well, Wigner's friend looks at me,
I look at the cat,
and we exist.
But then who looks at Wigner's friend?
And there's an infinte chain of people looking at people
looking at people until, finally, you hit cosmic consciousness.

Some consciousness that's ethereal,
that envelops the Universe,
which looka at us and says,
"Aha, the cat is alive."

Wigner believed that conscientiousness
is an inextricable part of reality,
THAT NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD
UNLESS A CONSCIOUS MIND OBSERVE IT.



PRESENTIMENT

slow down.]

Is There Life After Death

IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH
[THROUGH THE WORMHOLE]
Season 2, Episode. 01

EXCERPTS:

Quantum theory claims that every single point in space,
even empty space, can contain information.


This means the information in the micro-tubules
can connect and become entangled
with the universe outside the brain.


CONSCIOUSNESS

If consciousness is a quantum process,
it may solve the mystery of what happens
during near-death experiences.

Let's say the heart stops beating,
the blood stops flowing,
the microtubules lose their quantum state.
But the quantum information which is in the microtubules,
isn't destroyed.
It can't be destroyed.
It just distributes and dissipates
to the Universe at large.
If the patient is resuscitated, revived,
this quantum information can go back into the microtubules,
and the patient says, "I had a near-death experiences,
"I saw white light. I saw a tunnel. I saw my dead relatives.
I may be even floated out of my body."
Now, if they're not revived and the patient dies,
then it's possible that this quantum information
can exist outside the body,
perhaps indefinitely as a soul.

Many scientists find it difficult to believe
that the soul is a quantum computer,
hard-wired into the cosmos.


The simplest definition of consciousness --
that which goes away when you fall into dreamless sleep.
But the fact of the matter is,
the brain doesn't shut off at all.
The neurons, the nerve cells, are actually just as active,
in a sense, as they are when you are awake.
So, it is an interesting scientific question.
How would it be, then,
that you disappear when your brain is still there
and buzzing along?


... Now that Brady is asleep,
we are going to ring the bell again
and see how his brain responds when -- after falling asleep.
Once again, the brain lights up.
But this time, there is no reverberation.
The ring of the bell dies
as quickly as the pulse of magnetism shuts off.

The sleeping brain may be active,
but it has lost the ability to share information
between one part of the brain and another.

Tononi believes this spreading of information
is the key ingredient of consciousness.


In 1907, Dr, Duncan MacDougall determined
that the soul weighs about 3/4 of an ounce,
or 21 grams.
He determined this by weighing the bodies of dying TB patients.


Your body produces 1 billion new cells every hour.
No matter how old you are,
most of you is no more than 10 years old.


Religion tells us that our soul transcend the body.
These are just shells that we walk a around in for a while.
Most scientists don't believe that.
They say that what we call the soul
is a self-aware network of brain connections
that evolved over million of years.


Biology + Technology

"This is a hybrot --
a robot controlled by living brain tissue.
Its brains are in a refrigerator,
but you can see its neurons react on the computer screen
as its body finds its way around the lab bench."


Is the soul nothing more than a network of neural processes,
something that one day can be recreated in a machine?


When you lose consciousness, you lose you soul.
You lose everything.
The world does not exist anymore for you.
Your friends dont exist anymore. You don't exist.
Everything is lost.

... mind or consciousness seems to fucntion without the physical body.



FREEMAN: "Perhaps some things really are too big for humans to grasp.
That's when we have to shift from what we know
to what we believe."
