I couldn't believe it was such a hit. It's kind of sad in a way that the movie theaters were so packed with people looking for answers they will never probably find in a movie like that. <BR/><BR/>The part about the water crystal photographs and how emotions affect them was astounding. But there was a lack of what I call spiritual personalities of the deepest kind. Heck, some of the spiritual characters I've met are more interesting than most of the folks interviewed in the movie. Then again, my associations have spoiled me. (Thanks to you, Anab!!!!) <BR/><BR/>Maybe we could do our own what the bleep film only we could call it <I>What the Bleep do THEY know??!!</I> What do you say, Kevin and Anab? Let's gather our friends and start the film rolling. But, then again, perhaps some things are better left unsaid. ?????<BR/><BR/>To our anonymous friends I would say this: If you don't believe in religion or spiritual teachers, why visit spiritual blogs? When responses are forcefully pessimistic about such matters, I wonder how far away a case of spiritual abuse is. Anyway, peace and blessings to everyone, the identified and unidentified ones.<BR/><BR/>BilqueesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167814.post-1126553650961917602005-09-12T15:34:00.000-04:002005-09-12T15:34:00.000-04:00There is only one sure way to solve this problem: ...There is only one sure way to solve this problem: Ban all religions!

While it is somewhat of a dubious cheesy pop movie, "What the bleep do I know" - it wasn't till I saw that that I really realised to what extent our emotions <I> and thoughts </I> have a chemical componant.<BR/><BR/>Now I can see how much of our many activities are aimed at primarily facilitating certain negative states, forever seeking to prolong them, irregardless of the medium of delivery (drugs, music, spirituality, ect, ad nasuem.)<BR/><BR/>The ramifications are huge, IMO. Outward dependance on drugs, ect is one thing. Hanging on to mental states is quite another altogether... <BR/><BR/>you are too kind, linking to my blog and all that, thank you.kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735512530151134450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167814.post-1126484322415935512005-09-11T20:18:00.000-04:002005-09-11T20:18:00.000-04:00Shaik Abdul Kafid -- please feel free to link to t...Shaik Abdul Kafid -- please feel free to link to this blog.

If you chose to do this, you shouldn't name names or give any details which are of an identifying character -- either with respect to yourself or anyone else who might be involved -- but we all might benefit by whatever you have to share ... if you choose to do this.Anab Whitehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349433166342161304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167814.post-1126473091145180302005-09-11T17:11:00.000-04:002005-09-11T17:11:00.000-04:00With respect to the individual who said that he or...With respect to the individual who said that he or she did not agree with the posting concerning the Internet connection and spiritual abuse, it might be helpful for visitors to know exactly what it is with which you disagree in the aforementioned posting.

Teachers are spiritual bullies manipulating people into playing the wisdom and holiness game. It's a shameful thing! We have enough of them.<BR/>All the numerous teachers and charlatans we have in the world today are nothing compared to the few world teachers we have. They are just following the stupid example of the big ones.<BR/>I follow my own insights, good or bad. And I am not afraid to go to hell if I am wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167814.post-1126469654417001142005-09-11T16:14:00.000-04:002005-09-11T16:14:00.000-04:00I don't agree!!!I don't agree!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11167814.post-1126425368040248012005-09-11T03:56:00.000-04:002005-09-11T03:56:00.000-04:00This sounds like something that has once happened ...This sounds like something that has once happened to me.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438462446034169553noreply@blogger.com
