What the Bleep? proves that relativism has become a major element in JZs philosophy. As JZ preaches it, relativism is the doctrine that states that there is no universal truth, but rather personal truths based on a person's subjective experience. The relativist gravitates toward quantum mechanics and the many-world-theory because these sciences, according to her interpretation, seem to justify her world view. Rather than "the truth", "a truth". What is true, right and just is determined by individual perspectives, not on universal values. No good or evil exists, only choices. Relativism, taken to this extreme, leads to interesting conclusions, a number of which are elucidated in the docudrama What the Bleep Do We Know? The primary conclusion is that reality is “all in the mind,” and that objective reality is illusion. To say the world is an illusion is the same as saying the world is "all in the mind" and that the mind is the only truth, but that this truth is only true to the individual. Mind-as-reality is comparable to being trapped inside your own head; all you would see is images of the outside world projected into your mind like images on a television monitor. Any connection with the outside world is impossible. This is why JZ emphasizes alternative “virtual” realities that are self-created illusions that exist on parallel dimensions. "There is no objective reality!" writes the author of Molecules of Emotion, Dr. Candace Pert, a molecular biologist whose home-spun philosophy played an influential role in the making of What the Bleep. Another scientist in the movie, David Deutsch, extends relativism to the realm of the self, saying not only our reality, but our self identity is relative. That is, our sense of self is an illusion. There is no single self---no I AM. We are a series of copies all existing on separate parallel universes. "Many of those Davids are at this moment writing these very words. Some are putting it better. Others have gone for a cup of tea." [He writes in The Fabric of Reality] David Deutsch's literalistic interpretation of the many-worlds-theory marks him as the "quantum fundamentalist" of the New Age movement.

JZs Philosophy, Part II The purpose of the spiritual exercises that JZ teaches is to free the individual from the biological/neurological constraints prohibiting humanity from becoming pure mind. Once freed from bodily constraints, the "ascended" master is without limitations of physical mass; he is pure spirit living in a virtual reality of his own making, a spirit capable of creating his own reality instead of living the inherited reality of his former masters, the Archons, or the gods, whom JZ Knight considers an alien race that created mankind to be slaves on the earth. Western mystics like Blake, Steiner, Boehme, taught the opposite. Western mystics say that to truly see things "as they are", as objective reality, we must look within the sense world; not reject the sense world as illussion, but penetrate the sense world. An implicate order exists in the universe, and it is by comprehending this implicate order that we see things "as they are." We experience "the idea" of the thing. When a visionary sees a tree, for instance, he perceives the tree as an idea-form and not simply a chaotic reality of the senses. It is not good enough to say the world is merely an illusion. We know that our perceptual abilities are flawed and that the five senses are woefully inadequate. But that doesn't mean the world is a lie. Western mysticism has always claimed that it is we ourselves who are caught in illusion and that we project our illusion upon the world. If we could truly see the world "as it is" we would realize that all things possess an inner and outer reality, both a spiritual and physical existence, and that only the outermost skin of reality is based on observation. The inner world is the thing in its self. Mathew Morrell www.kcpost.net | ||

>>>>It is not good enough to say the world is merely an illusion. We know that our perceptual abilities are flawed and that the five senses are woefully inadequate. But that doesn't mean the world is a lie.<<<< Let me just share that my labor and delivery pains were Very Real. No illusion there. The resulting kid to care for isn't exactly a figment of my illusory reality, either ! LOL I once heard Judith Knight in audience, reference a conversation she claimed to have had with "Ramtha". She was discussing this world as an illusion with him. She told him her stretch marks were very real. Apparently, she has changed her mind, or they have disappeared ? Oh, perhaps a timeline shift that doesn't include them. Inquiring minds... Stay tuned...the word on the street is that Ms. Knight is making a new movie that she has more involvement with, than she directly did with WTBleep. I've heard that the title is something along the line of Let The Sunshine In or something like that. Time will tell. Oh, TIME ? That illusion. Time WILL tell what that information is all about. About ascension; I understand it to be an ascension of the mind as it relates to the concept of reality on a cosmic level. Once a person understands and really lives in a manner that doesn't constantly pigeonhole life into slots of time, it does not create time. In not creating time, one can slow aging. By the way, this viewpoint did not come from RSE. I'm only endeavoring to point out how the same topic can be viewed various ways - which I'd expect you know, anyway ! |
