This is a gratefully accepted addition to the supplemental material inspired by the movie What the Bleep Do We Know.

I'm glad the movie is bringing these interesting ideas to a mass audience, but in the end, hearing the sound bites of the various talking heads scientists (and one "channeler") contributes to our experience of the film but is not easy to retain in our consciousness, which follows the film to a new place at the pace dictated by the film.

Books, which can be opened and closed and searched through at will, are still much better vehicles for transmitting data and for making complicated, unorthodox arguments.

So everyone intrigued by the film would benefit from reading this, to obtain a more coherent and ordered presentation. Unfortunately, it's still not as coherent and ordered as it could be.

The material on the neurophysiology and additions (including the emotional ones, of which we all have some, not just the usual suspects) is interesting, but how does that relate to someone's quest for enlightenment?

And what is enlightenment? I'm still a lot in the dark about exactly what quantum physics says about the mystic truth of the universe, and how this related to human consciousness, and how that relates to how we can use this to live better, more exciting and creative lives.

Although I'm quite skeptical about "Ramtha," the supposedly 35,000 year old wise man that JZ Knight allegedly "channels," I'm often impressed by what she says he says. I'm more comfortable with the notion that in "channeling" Ramtha she is simply accessing a more different portion of her own brain/consciousness. That's what all writers do.

However, I am troubled about how "Ramtha" is not distinquished from the scientists with long records of degrees and accomplishments.

Still, despite its somewhat disorderly style, it comes up with background material and new information not found in the book.

For instance, the notion that the tubules supposedly inside our cells (I've never heard of them before, but I don't claim to be up to date on molecular physiology), are so small they can react to the quantum levels of the atoms comprising them. And this may be the basis of life and -- in our brains -- self-consciousness.

There is a little more detail here than in the movie on how to use some of this material to change your life for the better, although you'll find a lot more material in other places. Meditation is mentioned, but not prescribed.

I'd also prefer a lot more linear presentation and coherence, organized way of transmitting the information. I believe that could be a lot improved -- and they could still keep the scattered quotes and entertaining graphics. Hopefully, a lot of the books by the various interviewees are on a higher level.

I also suspect that it'd be good to watch the full interviews, and so it's good those are apparently available.

I would also liked to see some sort of wider contexts. I'm sure few quantum physicists don't take Ramtha seriously. But what do they think of all the parallels drawn to mysticism?

I don't wish to be too critical, however. These are all important questions. It's obvious to me that science is terrific at describing, but poor at explaining.

That is, it can tell us how the universe (and life, and the brain) operating, but cannot really explain the fundamentals of why electrons behave as they do, why there was a Big Bang, what life really is, or what consciousness really is.

The more science discovers, the more we realize the universe is bigger and stranger than we can understand.
