A Word or Two of Thanks

Thank you to my beloved wife Renuka, who works so


diligently with me to bring our message to the world, you are
the light of my life. You continue to inspire me, even through
many nights where you lost your partner to his laptop.
My thanks to my friend and associate Michael Mills who
was the first to see the resonant connection between the
movie and my work, and insisted that I see it. Thank you also
to Stephanie LeClaire for all your work on first edits and
making sense of the way I write.
And a very special thank you to Damian Loth, the man
who sat with me during some very, very long days as we
broke down the movie and the concepts, and decided what
the bleep we were going to include. Thank you is so
inadequate; “I couldn’t have done it without you mate”.
Finally, I would like to thank my students around the
world – past, present and future - for your enquiring minds,
your warm hearts and bright souls.

Introduction

“Dõv …. You’ve got to see this film …. It talks about all


the stuff you do, and it’s funny too!”

I had just arrived in Phoenix, Arizona. I had flown in to


conduct a workshop and all anyone could talk about was an
amazing new film called “What the Bleep Do We Know?!” My
colleague was beside himself with excitement, and so were
the group of people I was there to work with. I simply had to
go and see what all the fuss was about.
Imagine my delight, as I sat with my wife and watched
the story unfold – for here was a film that featured experts
and tons of information on the subject that has been my life’s
passion. Better yet, it was presented in such a clever and
entertaining way.
I was excited, to say the least!
Here on the big screen, before my eyes, were some of the
very scientists I had cited in my dissertation on Quantum
Resonant Fields (more on that later) alongside an academy
award winning actress – and this film was making me laugh!
The obvious question was “Who made this film and
where did it come from?” I intuitively felt that it wasn’t likely
that Hollywood was responsible for this marvelous work.
I soon found out it was William Arntz, Betsy Chasse and
Mark Vicente who were behind the unique film that was on its
way to becoming a runaway success. (Any filmmakers who
are able to combine the principles of quantum physics within
an entertaining story, with wild effects - and do so in a way

that is laugh-out-loud funny, have achieved legend status in


my mind). I loved their work!
I had to find out more about them and their inspiration
for making the film, and I soon realized that they were an
awesome example of the film’s central premise at work – they
choose to create their own reality. They were actually walking
the walk and not just talking the talk.
Clearly to me, the film was designed as a wake up call.
A call to inspire self examination, provoke discussion among
friends and to push people to educate themselves on the
concept of taking responsibility for their own reality. To my
way of thinking, this has been the film’s major achievement. I
soon found that this achievement was also a source of
frustration for many of its audience. The film had succeeded
in provoking as many questions as it answered, and many
people were contacting me to see if I would expand on the
content of the film for them.
It soon became apparent that people, having seen the
film and agreed with its message, were looking for a way to
incorporate some of the concepts into their own lives. None
more so than the subject of the most referenced interview in
the film, Dr. Joe Dispenza’s comments on creating his own
day.
The concept of taking responsibility for your own life, and
everything in it, forms the basis of the work I have been doing
around the world for over 20 years. So I decided to publish an
interpretation of the film that would help people to do this. I
also wanted to make it available for free. For most of my
professional career I have chosen to work with people in
person, lecturing and conducting workshops, rather than
pursuing a more academic approach of publishing books
and papers. However, with the response to the film that I had

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 7

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

seen and heard, I realized there were many people who


could benefit if I published my response to the questions I had
received.
The result is this book. When you are reading it, please
remember that this is my personal interpretation of the film,
and that I don’t claim any knowledge of the filmmakers’
actual intentions or motivations for making it.

However, before you get started I’d like to share some of


my story with you …

How I Was Born Into Poverty, Studied With Masters, Had


A Near Death Experience And Discovered The
Equation For Manifestation.

A Foreword by DÕv Baron Ph.D.

I am going to share some of the


experiences that have shaped my life, so
you can get a feel for me as a person, and
satisfy yourself that what I have to say in
this book could be of some value to you.
You’ll see that my knowledge has been
acquired from academic study as well as
several powerful life experiences.
I grew up in an inner city ghetto in Northern England, in
a filthy industrial city, where you got black grease on your
collar just from the pollution in the air. We lived in a small
house with no indoor plumbing, and I remember often having
to hide with my mother and siblings in the outhouse every
Friday when the rent man came.
As a result of all of this I received the first important
lesson of my life: There is always something or someone that
you can learn from. In my case, there were no positive role
models of how to live life – but there were plenty of role
models for how I did not want to live my life.
I chose to use them as motivation to get out, because I
knew that staying where I was would ultimately crush my spirit.
And so I decided, at a very early age to set about creating a
life, which at that time, I could only imagine.

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 9
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

In the beginning, I was on a spiritual quest, and my


journey took me around the world. Over a 20 year period I
met, studied and lived with masters from a variety of
disciplines and philosophies. My studies ranged from Ancient
Jewish Mysticism to Gnostic Christianity, Vedantic Hinduism to
Buddhist philosophy to the Course in Miracles and other
teachings. My thirst for knowledge was intense, and I
immersed myself in as many different sources of wisdom as I
could find. At this time I also began my academic studies,
which culminated in a doctoral degree in Consciousness
Studies in 2002.
Along the way, I set about applying the information I
had acquired, and as a result, I experienced creating my own
reality in a significant way. Not least of which was creating
successful businesses on three different continents.
However, I had a burning desire to share my knowledge
and experiences, and as a result my life took off in a new
direction. I knew that being in business for the sake of making
lots of money was not enough for me. I wasn't living my truth,
and I wasn’t fulfilling what I felt was my soul’s purpose.
I also realized that I wasn’t alone, for none of the people
I knew and considered to be truly wealthy defined their
success in purely financial terms.
I was beginning to desire what I now refer to as the full
spectrum of wealth and abundance, the type of rich life that
my truly wealthy friends were enjoying. This was a pivotal
realization on my part, as I began to consciously realize that I
wanted more than just material abundance. Though for me, it
took a near death experience to really get it.
I had come a long way on my journey out of poverty;
my spiritual education had shaped my outlook on life and I

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 10
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

had translated that into business success, world travel and all
of the trappings normally associated with wealth and
abundance.
Now imagine this. In June 1990, I reached for a rock
while free climbing and the rock dislodged. And at that
moment, so did my life. I fell 120 feet onto the rocks below,
and in the process was literally smashed to pieces.
During the next two years of recovery, in order to repair
my damaged body I had to endure six painful re-constructive
surgeries. However, the greatest challenge I had to
overcome, by far, was my mental and emotional state, which
had been crushed to a greater degree than any of my
bones.
For two years I was never more than a thought away
from absolute defeat. Many times I simply wanted to quit, but
the burning desire to fulfill my purpose would not go away. So,
I made a series of conscious decisions to transform the pain
into fuel – fuel I could use to power the next stage of my
journey.
Today, my life is an example of what I consider to be the
full spectrum of wealth and abundance. I attracted the
woman of my dreams, and we live in a penthouse with a
panoramic view of the mountains and the ocean, in one of
the most beautiful cities in the world. I have a rich and fulfilling
spiritual life, and I wake up every morning excited to go to
work in a career that I love. Working with people all over the
world, and teaching them how to realize their full potential – I
have the most fulfilling job I could ever have imagined.
As a result of all of this, I have synthesized a lifetime of
experiences and knowledge into a simple three step formula,
which I call The Equation for Manifestation. This simple formula,

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 11

when applied diligently, can save you decades of pain and


struggle and enable you to create your own reality too. You’ll
find it inside this book and if you decide to use it, it will
change your life.
As you read every word of this book you will be amazed
to discover a new way of looking at your own life and
empowering yourself.

What are you waiting for, let’s get started!

“What the Bleep Does it Mean?”


By Dõv Baron, Ph.D.

After you read this short book you will have learned
what I believe are the subtle and yet extremely powerful
messages contained in the film: “What the Bleep Do We
Know!?” In addition to answering the questions I have
received about it, my goal in providing an interpretation of
the film is to make you think, make you question and make
you want to expand your concept of reality.

But the important thing is that you are ready to expand


your concept of reality, or you wouldn’t be reading this now.
So let’s get into it.

All Aboard: Hyper-speed to Self Love and the


Observer

One of the questions I often get from viewers goes


something like this, “How did Amanda go from being the way
she was at the beginning to the girl in the bathtub, who
seems to be filled with self-love, in such a short time?”

This is a valid question, as Amanda’s emotional and


spiritual transformation takes place in hyper speed before our
very eyes.

In the opening scene Amanda enters a train, and the


train is featured throughout the movie as it is a metaphor for

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 13
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

her journey. Notice that the train always appears to be


traveling at hyper speed. The train is there to represent
Amanda progressing from one set of beliefs to another, one
reality to another. For the benefit of the viewer this is done at
hyper speed, rather than in real time, or the movie would be
a lot longer!

Now at the start of the film, after leaving the train, we


see Amanda entering a cinema where she seemingly sees
two other “selves” walking past her. This is the first time we are
subtly introduced to a concept from both psychology and
quantum physics; the concept of “the observer.”

Let me give you an example so that you can recall if


you’ve ever had an experience of this: Have you ever been in
a fight with someone and said something mean, and all the
while there is a part of you that knows what you are saying is
hurtful, but the venom keeps coming out? The part of you
that notices this is the observer. Another experience of
recognizing the observer is when there seems to be all kinds of
chaos around you, but there is a part of you that is
completely calm and unaffected. In the second example,
that part of you is simply observing the situation without
judgment. These are just a couple of examples of when you
are the emotionally detached observer, “viewing” the “you”
that is in the experience.

It is possible to master being the observer, and in doing


so, make conscious choices about how you respond to the
people, situations and experiences you attract into your life.
That’s why you’re reading this isn’t it? I’ll be covering this topic
in greater detail shortly (on page 17), so for now let’s get
back to Amanda’s story.

Reggie’s Quantum Reality of Infinite Choice

Amanda is out walking when she meets Reggie, the boy


with a persistent smile and a personality to match. Reggie is
playing basketball and persuades Amanda to participate in
what will be the strangest game of her life. Amanda steps
onto the court and is at that moment introduced to an
alternate reality. This is a fabulous metaphor for “Alice in
Wonderland” where Alice goes down the rabbit hole.

Reggie even asks Amanda how far down the rabbit hole
she wants to go.

It’s here that Reggie discusses Heisenberg’s Uncertainty


Principle1 - how waves of potentiality change into particles of
reality after they have been observed. In the scene Amanda
is confronted by a messenger, who asks her to consider that
there are infinite possibilities in any situation. Reggie
demonstrates that how she is looking at life, the mindset she
chooses, is merely one choice from an infinite number of
choices available to her.

I realize this can all sound a bit out there, so let me


explain: Imagine that you’re at one of those multi-screen
cinemas. Now, there are ten different movies playing and you
must decide which movie you’re going to see. Every genre
from romance to science fiction is represented. They’re all
available to you, but you only get to experience the one you
choose.

1
Heisenberg was one of the founding fathers of Quantum Physics and one of his famous statements went like
this; atoms, (the things we have believed make up our reality), are not things, they are possibilities of thinking)

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 15
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

I bet you never thought you’d understand the quantum


science of wave particle reality quite so easily! You see,
consciously or unconsciously you have before you, at any
moment in time, an infinite number of choices. As you choose
one you forget the others were even there.

So just like a visit to a multi-screen cinema, you have


many choices available to you at any given moment. What
you must understand is that because you become
emotionally involved with a particular choice (your movie) it
becomes real to you. In fact it becomes the only reality to
you.

You are actually living in your own three dimensional


movie that you make real by becoming emotionally involved
in it.

Isn’t it interesting how often people buy a ticket for a


movie, and even if the movie stinks, they will sit through until
the end rather than get up and choose again.

Imagine how different your life will be when you realize


that you can always choose again?

You can always choose again!

Understand, the main reason most people will not reject


an unsatisfactory choice of movie (the way they’re living their
life) is because they have convinced themselves there’s a
valid reason to stick it out, hoping it will get better. Instead,
they suffer through rather than doing something else.

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 16
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

Here is what many people don’t realize. If at any time


you are not enjoying the movie that is your life, you can get
up and choose again – you don’t have to wait until the end.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you were open to the full


spectrum of possibilities at any given moment? Instead, we
tend to fixate on a singular reality, which is the reality we
unconsciously expect.

If you are beginning to notice similar characters,


situations or dramas appearing in your life, it’s a safe bet to
assume you are creating a reality that you unconsciously
“expect” to happen.

Your life is your movie. Therefore you can rewrite the


script, change the actors and re-direct any scene to have a
completely different meaning or outcome. You are an
awesome, powerful being who should be writing the script of
your life.

It is worth considering whether you are watching the


movie that is your life, repeat over and over, even though
you’re not enjoying many parts of it. Remember, complaining
won’t change it - you need to take action.

Power Moments: Making Your Past Work for You

After much cajoling from Reggie, Amanda shoots the


ball and misses. One try and she’s ready to walk away and
quit. Reggie tells her that it doesn’t need to be like that, and
that the outcome can be any way she wants it to be. She
takes another shot and misses again, and tells Reggie she’s
got to go.

Again Reggie tells her it doesn’t have to be that way


and … suddenly Amanda is back in high school shooting a
basket and feeling good about herself.

Reggie has somehow revealed what I call a “power


moment” that Amanda tapped into. A moment from her past
that was positive and powerful, and that can be recalled at
any time to empower her. Now she throws the ball and it
goes straight through the hoop.

Reggie was able to get her to access a memory that


put her in the emotional state of power so that she could play
as she did when she was in her teens. And in that moment,
she is free of her own limitations.

In one of my favorite books of all time: Illusions, author


Richard Bach wrote:

“Argue for your limitations and sure enough they are


yours”.

How many people would be living happier, more


fulfilled, productive lives if they would just stop arguing for their

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 18
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

own limitations? Picture what might happen in your life if, for
one week, you banned yourself from saying any variation of “I
can’t”.

When things don’t go right do you, like Amanda, tell yourself


that you are a failure and want to walk away and give up
trying?

Think back and allow yourself to remember a time in


your life when you felt truly powerful. Every time that nasty
“can’t” word comes up, choose to focus on that power
moment and really feel it, as if it were taking place right now.

Really accessing the feeling of reliving the experience is


the key here. Remember, as Dr. Joe Dispenza told us in the
movie, the mind does not know the difference between what
is real, imagined or remembered.

You can access your power and expand your reality or


stay locked in a repetitive, limited reality. You are, I am sure,
beginning to notice something here – there is a lot of choice
open to you, isn’t there?

Amanda is presented with this choice in the movie. She


can open her mind to new possibilities by tapping into her
power moments like she does with Reggie, or she can remain
stuck in her limited beliefs.

You’re Never Too Old to Learn

One classic way that people keep themselves stuck is by


convincing themselves that they can’t learn because they
are too old. The excuse runs something like: “You can’t teach
an old dog new tricks”. However, it’s simply not true.
Contemporary research has shown that a person can learn as
much in their eighties as they could in their twenties. So why
do so many older people seem to struggle to learn new
things?

Let’s look at the typical learning cycle for the answer.

We enter the world and everything is new and, if we


want to survive, we have to learn as much as possible as
quickly as possible. Research has shown that the majority of
people learn more between the age of zero and five than
they will for the remainder of their lives.

By the age of six in most first world countries, children are


enrolled in what will be ten or more years of compulsory
learning. By age eighteen some will go on to college
furthering their academic learning, while others enter the work
force where they must learn the skills necessary to do their job.

Either way, by the time we reach our mid twenties, the


one common experience shared by all of us has been
learning – but for many, that’s where it ends.

I believe that the truly educated never graduate.


So it’s great that you are reading this now, because
you’re demonstrating a commitment to your lifelong

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 20

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:

education. The largest asset you will ever own is not a home.
It is the knowledge and wisdom gained from your continued
learning. This asset can never be taken from you – the IRS
can’t seize it, you can’t lose it in a divorce, it will always be
yours.

If you want to build assets that are yours forever, keep


learning! In doing so, you’ll be able to continue your
education for as long as you wish to.

It’s Hard to See If You’re Not Looking

There is an early scene in the movie where Amanda is


walking and taking photos of things she sees around her; a
child running after a dog, a man fetching the dog, the colors
of an umbrella, autumn leaves beginning to fall… This scene is
heavy in symbolism and metaphor.

Pay attention to the man in the scene. He appears


homeless, even disoriented and yet he is doing his best to help
the child retrieve the dog. He is a metaphor for the fact that
help can come from all kinds of sources, including the ones
you might normally reject. The dog being off the leash tells us
to let go of “controlling” and “being controlled”. We fear
letting go because we fear the unknown, when in fact letting
go doesn’t have to result in dire consequences, it may result in
an opportunity to have fun as it did in this case.

Rules are generally imposed with the intention of


“protecting”, however, they often serve only to restrain and
restrict.

And the symbolism continues as the scene unfolds. The


child’s high energy demonstrates that children in their “natural
state” live life to the fullest, which is something we can all
learn from. The autumn leaves falling suggest a time of
change. The umbrella suddenly being opened exemplifies a
willingness to deal with change as it arrives.

There is one other symbol from this scene that is very


important. All of this imagery is taking place with a child’s soft
laughter in the background. This is a wonderful representation

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 22
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

of the fact that we can get bogged down in the face of


change or we can laugh and embrace change.

Amanda gives herself permission to recognize beauty,


provided it is outside of her self. The camera lens is the
metaphor for “the observer” in this part of the movie, though
we will also see it represent the ego mind later in the film.

However, of real note in the scene is Amanda’s use of


the camera to separate herself from the beauty that
surrounds her.

What about you? Let me ask you this. Is it possible that


beauty only exists in certain places for you - for example, in a
garden or a pet or in certain people?

Go inside, check and see if there’s a filter you use when


you view certain people or situations. Are you missing a lot of
wonderful things in your life right now?

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 23

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

What’s Your Drug of Choice?

Amanda is interrupted while photographing the beauty


in the park by a cell phone call reminding her she is late for
work. Her anxiety is immediately apparent. When she gets to
the train station her boss calls again to see where she is and
Amanda’s anxiety is visibly on the rise.

She reaches for her pills, the ones she relies on, and they
fall out of her purse and scatter on the platform. In her effort
to reach for her lifeline she misses the train, which makes her
even more late. She is upset with herself and she crushes a pill
with her shoe in frustration.

Part of her is holding onto something that another part of


her actually wants to let go of.

The scene is blunt in its portrayal of her need for


medication to get through everyday life. You can feel
Amanda’s frustration growing as she gets more and more
pressure to get to work on time. It is a universal anxiety we
can all relate to, but not one where most of us need
medication to get through.

In the film Amanda’s medication is literal and obvious.


Most people’s medication is less obvious, and can even be
quite socially acceptable. A workaholic is the perfect
example. The workaholic often claims to be committed to
providing a better life for their family. Though it is often a
family they are not really a part of. You see, if this person
stopped medicating with work they would have to feel and
deal with the real issues they get to avoid by working.

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 24
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

Look, there are numerous ways to medicate yourself;


food, TV, compulsive cleaning, volunteering, alcohol, religion,
sex, sports … and I could go on and on. None of these are
“bad” in and of themselves, but when they are used to avoid
dealing with issues in our lives we are actually using them to
medicate against pain. In other words, whatever you are
doing, consciously or unconsciously, to avoid undesirable
feelings is the “medication” in your life.

Feelings that are not dealt with become repressed, and


what we repress controls us.

Now, I can almost hear your mind saying “my behavior is


not medication!” However, the ego mind is a liar (I go into this
on page 37).

No matter how nice, good or right it might seem - if it


enables you to avoid certain areas of your life, it is
medication! And it can be every bit as destructive as hard
drugs.

Pay Attention: Part of You Knows What You Need

There is a second, more powerful message in the scene


at the train station. The train is gone, and so has whatever
version of reality Amanda’s destination had in store for her at
that time. You see, by missing the train, Amanda has an
experience that she would otherwise have missed. As she
waits for another train, Amanda hears a woman talking about
Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water crystal research.

Amanda looks at the posters of the crystals and a man


walks up to her. Once again this is a metaphor for her higher
self. He says, “If our thoughts can do that to water, what can
they do to us?” But before we deal with the water crystal
research let’s look again at the issue of missing the train.

Remember, we are all creating our own reality.

When I’ve been asked about this concept during


lectures, the scene in the train station has often prompted the
following from viewers: “Amanda was already dealing with
enough stress, so why would she manifest missing the train?”

Simply, if Amanda had not missed the train she would


not have received the information that was right in front of her
– information that she will eventually use as a catalyst for
setting herself free. It is no accident that she missed the train.
She needed to see what was at the train station, so she chose
a version of reality available to her that allowed it to happen.

Now, let me ask you a personal question.

Haven’t you thought that sometimes you create


situations or events that appear to happen by accident, in
order to wake yourself up and pay attention to your soul’s
desire? As you continue to read this book, ask your
subconscious to let you know exactly how this has shown up in
your life.

Warning: Your Body is Listening

It was Dr. Masaru Emoto’s experiment with water crystals


that Amanda needed to see at the train station. Dr. Emoto’s
work demonstrates that our thoughts, feelings and the
intention behind them are able to change the crystalline
structure of flash frozen water molecules.

Maybe there is a part of you that is thinking; “so what?”


Well, let me explain. According to science your body is made
up of approximately 70% water.

Every conscious and unconscious thought you have is


affecting the water that is held in the cells of your body.
Therefore when you look in the mirror and the voice in your
head tells you all the things that are wrong with you, the water
in every one of your cells is affected accordingly.

By the same token, the concept that your thoughts


could have a direct affect on your body seems outrageous if
you are operating within the constraints of traditional science.

Don’t get me wrong, Newtonian science has been


responsible for major advances since we started applying it
over four hundred years ago. Understanding gravity has
enabled us to drive a car and fly in a plane, for example. My
point is there have been major advances, such as the
Internet, which were only made possible by the application of
quantum mechanics and expanded concepts of what was
possible at the time.
There is a vast amount of research into the mind-body
connection (undertaken by experts such as Dr. Herbert

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 28

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

Benson, founder of the Harvard Mind/Body Medical Institute).


This, combined with a deepening understanding of quantum
mechanics, confirms that our thoughts not only affect our
bodies - but every aspect of our physical reality.

It is impossible to ignore the research of scientists like Dr.


Emoto, even though it challenges us to acknowledge that we
possess enormous power. So the question is: What are your
repetitive thought processes, and how might they be
affecting your reality? When you look in the mirror what do
you comment on (internally or externally)?

Is it how amazing you are, or do you set about tearing


yourself down? Really think about it and...

Remember, your body is listening!

The Equation for Manifestation

The scene that has prompted more questions from


viewers than any other is Dr. Joe Dispenza recounting how he
creates his day, in advance, every morning. The concept has
definitely struck a chord with many, many viewers of the film.

Unfortunately, Dr. Dispenza is not able to go into his


personal ritual in much detail and so the viewer is left
wondering how they might apply the concept to their own
life. I am happy to say that the concept is one that you are
already using every day.

Now keep in mind that this is mostly happening on a


subconscious level.

As you can imagine there’s a whole other book worth of


material I could go into about your subconscious
manifestation of reality, but we don’t have the time to do that
here.

For the purpose of this discussion, I’d like to show you the
equation for conscious manifestation.

Pay attention, because I’m about to give you an


incredibly powerful tool that you can use immediately to
create the life you want.

Equation for Manifestation: Three Step

1. Focus on your desired outcome with a clear thought. Be


very specific.

2. As you hold the thought, you will be able to get in touch


with the feelings of what it would be like to experience your
desired outcome.

3. Now go deep into your mind and focus on those feelings


at the expense of all other thoughts or feelings, and do it
consistently. Your ability to focus exclusively on the feelings
determines the degree to which you’ll experience your
desired outcome.

Now, I can almost hear your mind saying: “it can’t be


that simple?” But, it is. I have personally used this equation to
attract the woman of my dreams and create the most
rewarding career I could imagine, among many other things.

As you probably know, simple things are not always easy


to do. The good news is that even the most complex tasks can
be mastered via repetition and this is not a complex task I am
asking you to perform.

For example, driving a car is quite a complex task when


you think of all the things you need to concentrate on at
exactly the same time. Though driving is quite simple for most
people to do, after they’ve been taught and spent time
practicing it.
Okay, you're probably wondering how you can get the
best form of practice. Just as it’s possible to learn how to hit a

golf ball by practicing on your own, it is a whole lot easier and


more effective to do it with a professional. Remember, even
Tiger Woods has a coach.

Participants in my two day workshop have many first


hand experiences of the equation for manifestation. The
confidence gained from each of these experiences creates a
higher degree of competence in each of the participants.

I just love it when people who’ve done my workshops


write to me about all the wonderful things they have been
able to manifest in their lives.

But for the time being, I want you to practice this


exercise, with the same desired outcome, every day for 28
days. Be prepared to surprise yourself!

Where Are The Blank Pages in Your Life?

Amanda goes home and falls asleep, has a dream


about a shaman and as a result, she wakes up startled. Later,
she is approached by her roommate who asks her if she is
okay. Jennifer gives Amanda a gift of photo album with a few
of Amanda’s best pictures in it. Jennifer tells Amanda that it
was difficult to select the photos, because Amanda had
taken so many great ones.

Jennifer shows her the photos she has picked and then
points out that she has left many pages blank - for all the
wonderful photos Amanda will be taking in the future.

Once again the metaphor is beautiful: Jennifer, like


Reggie, is pointing out power moments. Only this time it’s in
the form of photos, giving Amanda yet another opportunity to
focus on her strengths. The statement that most of the pages
have been left open is symbolism for the fact that if Amanda
chooses, she can fill the pages of her life with anything she
wants.

Amanda gets to decide what is going to be in her future


by being open to the opportunities she is attracting into her
life. The photo album represents the potential of Amanda’s
unlimited future.

Allow yourself to focus on the best moments of your life


and then connect with the feeling of reliving those power
moments, so it can propel you to where you want to be.
Imagine how different your life would be if you did this on a
regular basis?

The experience with Reggie showed Amanda a power

represent power moments she is yet to experience.

The application of the equation for manifestation is your


way of creating power moments, and this is something you’ll
get to experience first hand if you attend one of my
workshops. Do you know that people who attended
workshops of mine over 10 years ago still write to me? They
write to say that they’re still using the exercises – and how their
lives have changed for the better. I’d like to share one such
email I received recently:

Hello Dr. Baron do you remember me? Please forgive my


poor English. I met you in the beginning of the 90’s and I
went to one of your workshop in Vancouver. I want you to
know how much you changed my life with your teaching. I
now live a successful life because you woke me up and
helped me to open my eyes and my mind to believe in my
own hidden power. I am so grateful that I had the
opportunity to meet someone like you. I have been looking
for you for many years and I have wanted to thank you a
millions of times. I am very happy that I did find you now.

Stop right now because I want you to understand

Are You Living in The Past?

When Amanda gets to work she reads that her next


assignment is a wedding. She’s anything but thrilled with the
posting and intent on discussing the issue with her boss.
However, he’s more intent on staring at the backside of his
shapely office assistant.

Amanda is clearly disgusted by her boss’s behavior and


makes no attempt to disguise it as she starts laying into him for
the wedding assignment. The boss knows there is more to
what is being said than just the words, and his answer is quite
astute – despite sounding defensive:

“You live in your past Amanda; everything about you is


what happened… you’ve got too many memories clouding
your vision.”

The ego mind is always evaluating and filtering what is


going on around us. The ego mind holds the history of who we
were and what we’ve experienced and then sees all present
and future events through the lens of that history.

To paraphrase two of the experts in the film; Dr. Joe


Dispenza and Dr. Candace Pert… the brain is receiving
around 400 billion bits of information per second, but we are
only aware of 2,000 bits per second.

Most of these bits contain information about our body


and time (e.g. am I hot/cold, is it morning/night etc). What
bubbles up to our consciousness (i.e. what we are aware of) is

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 36
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

the information that confirms our ego mind’s version of us,


which is drawn from our history.

The mind is constantly looking for evidence of that which


it believes to be true, even if the evidence is completely false,
and filters out the rest.

This means that even though you’re receiving 400 billion


bits of information, your mind is only processing the bits that
verify its programmed beliefs.

The fact that we remember our past and allow it to


define the current situation is a fairly easy concept for most of
us to accept. We might even be able to understand how this
could cause us to have conditioned, knee jerk reactions to
different situations.

But what about the future? We project into the future


from that same historical perspective, therefore, “Tomorrow
will be as it is today, as it was yesterday”.

Just as Dr. David Albert suggests is possible in the film,


there is no reason why this could not be considered
“remembering” the future. When we live our lives expecting
the future to look just like the past we are living lives that are a
self fulfilling prophecy.

Stop right now and consider this deeply for a moment. If


aspects of your life today look pretty much like they did
yesterday and yesterday contains too many parallels with the
week before, then guess what? You are living your own self
fulfilling prophecy. You are “remembering tomorrow” based
on yesterday.

Amanda’s Fall: And How it Defines Her

Amanda doesn’t get out of the assignment and we


watch her nervously enter the church where she touches the
holy water and begins to make the sign of the cross, but stops
herself. She flashes back to her childhood Confirmation where
she is standing by prayer candles, and we learn, from another
flashback, that it is also the church she was married in.

During her flashback the groom is standing at the alter


saying his vows while coveting a pretty blonde in the pews.
The flashback jumps again, and this time we see Amanda
catching her husband and the blonde in bed together.

We know that Amanda and her husband are no longer


together and that she has medication for anxiety. This scene
may naturally cause you to feel some compassion for
Amanda. After all, the emotional trauma of finding your
partner in bed with another person is enough to rock most
people’s worlds. However, while I think that compassion for
Amanda is valid during her initial experience, I question the
validity of compassion for someone who is choosing to relive
their pain over and over again.

We’ve all had a friend who’s been hurt, only to make


that painful experience the definition of who they are and
who they will be, from that moment on. Isn’t it amazing
though, how quickly your compassion runs out once you
realize there is a part of them that wants to hold on to the
pain.

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:

Anyway, let’s get back to the film. From these short


flashback scenes we are being told that Amanda has lost her
faith in so much more than just marriage. She’s lost faith in
men, humanity, even her church. However, I think there is a
bigger point to examine, not just for Amanda but for anybody
reading this. As you read this book you could imagine hearing
my voice talking to you and asking you a couple of questions:
“How committed to your past are you?” And: “What do you
think it will it take to let go of your past and start living in the
present moment, where you make choices rather than knee
jerk reactions?”

After you’ve pondered those questions, I want you to


stop right here, and go a little deeper. I want you to do
another quick exercise with me. Take a deep breath of
courage, because you’re going to need it. I am about to ask
you to consider that you are responsible for everything that is
currently in your life. Now, I’m going to take it one step
further, and have you consider that you might be getting
something you want out of remaining stuck in any aspect of
your present reality that you don’t consciously enjoy. Take a
final deep breath, and ask yourself what that might be.

Now, it might be difficult to grasp that you could


possibly be getting anything that you want out of staying
stuck in an undesirable experience. So I want you to consider
these outcomes, as possible examples: attention, importance,
sympathy, martyrdom, heroism … and the list goes on.

This can be an extremely liberating exercise, so I suggest


you give yourself permission to spend some time on it right
now.

Now I’ll go back to Amanda’s fall.

As adults, most of us have had a fall, or what I call a


wake up call from your soul, at some point in our lives. It might
have been a marriage or relationship breakup, a car
accident, a bankruptcy, the loss of a job or any number of
personally devastating events. This is invariably a time when
we question everything.

Some people decide to learn from the event. They


become stronger and they become a better person as a
result. Others crumble and give up. Those not willing to learn
become committed to living their lives based on the negative
emotions they experienced as a result of that singular event.
This is what Amanda is doing in the film.

Even though her husband’s infidelity was a single


traumatic event within a lifetime of many more positive and
uplifting events, it has become her defining moment.

The People in Your Life: They All Have


Messages For You

I love the way the filmmakers wrote the character of


Amanda’s houseguest, Jennifer. Her wonderful lightness is so
exaggerated and in such sharp contrast to the hard edge of
Amanda (okay, even if she is quite the ditz!). By virtue of an
earlier conversation between them, we learn that her
temporary stay has gone on longer than expected. From this,
we can assume that something has gone wrong in her life as
well.

However, we never get the sense Jennifer is living her life


by focusing on what is wrong with it. I think she’s there to
show us that there is always another, more empowering way
of looking at anything.

I believe the character of Jennifer is also there as a


metaphor for something larger. We often draw people into
our lives that embody the parts of ourselves that we have
repressed. Clearly, Amanda has repressed the playful part of
herself, and her houseguest is a metaphor for this.

In this case Amanda has repressed a positive aspect of


herself, the light and playful side. Though, you can repress
what you consider to be positive or negative aspects of
yourself. For instance, you might consider anger as a negative
emotion that is worth repressing. I remind you again that the
things you repress will control you. How many times have you
heard about some “nice guy” who “goes postal” completely
out of the blue? This is repressed anger exploding.
Therefore, it’s the people in our lives that can reveal to us
what we need to deal with, or what we need to recapture. In

the case of Amanda, she might look to recapture the playful


aspect she has repressed, while someone else might look to
deal with their repressed grief or self loathing, as an example.

My Favorite Scene: The Polish Wedding

The day of the wedding arrives and Amanda is there as


the official photographer. While the entire scene is filled with
symbolism and metaphor, I’m going to concentrate on what I
feel are the key points.

Amanda’s mind keeps remembering experiences she’s


had in the past and is projecting those events onto the
present. We see that Amanda’s vision has literally been
distorted by her negative experiences. Every photograph she
takes reminds her of her own wedding and the bitter
memories associated with that event.

Here, Amanda is a vivid example of the line repeated


throughout the movie by Dr. Joe Dispenza: “The mind does
not know the difference between what it sees and what it
imagines or remembers”.

This concept was originally formulated in a book called


“Psycho Cybernetics” by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, which was
published in the sixties, and has subsequently been proven in
clinical studies.

Anyway, let’s get back to the wedding.

The scene continues and we have the groom seemingly


“making eyes” at a bridesmaid. Shortly thereafter, Amanda
sees the silhouette of two people locked in passion, and she
incorrectly assumes that it’s the groom with one of the
bridesmaids. We discover that this is not true at all, even
though it seemed to be true to Amanda. It seemed true,

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 44
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:

because it was consistent with the set of beliefs she has


adopted since the traumatic event which now defines her life.

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 45

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:

What is Real?

All too often we go through life not really seeing what is


available to us, but seeing what we expect to see. As I said
earlier, the ego mind looks for evidence of what it believes to
be true (based on your personal history) and ignores
everything else.

This is something I will explore deeply in another book I


am working on, in which I present all of the evidence to
support the fact that you are not your mind. I go into great
detail about why the ego mind tries to convince you of a
certain version of reality, and how you have the power to stop
this from happening.

If you would like to know when this book is available,


please send an email to:

info@whatthebleepdoesitmean.com and put the word


“books” in the subject line.

So, Amanda’s ego mind has her experiencing today


through yesterday’s lens. She sees a shred of reality, (outfits
that look like the bridesmaid and groom’s) and her ego mind
fills in the rest. This makes it “real” to her.

You must have had an experience where you could


have sworn that you saw something happen, only to discover
that the event you thought you witnessed didn’t happen at
all? Any court lawyer will tell you that the problem with eye
witnesses is that they are notoriously unreliable. This is because
the ego mind will fill in blanks with information that may be

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 46
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

completely incorrect, because it is based on the ego mind’s


expectations.

We’re not just talking about visual perception here


either. It can just as easily be verbal or any other of the
perceived senses. How often has your ego mind convinced
you that something was real when it wasn’t real at all?

Accepting what the ego mind wants to believe can be


extremely limiting. Dr. Fred Alan Wolf made a statement in the
movie that I think is a wonderful metaphor for living beyond
your limited personal history. He said:

“The trick is to not be in the know, but be in the mystery.”


Living in the know means reliving your history, and the mystery
represents a potential future beyond the limitations of your
history.

We get so committed to a set of beliefs (a story that runs


in the ego mind) that we will interrupt, even sabotage our
own joy in order to be right about having those beliefs. This is
what can be so debilitating about not challenging your
unconscious, conditioned beliefs.

When you become committed to your conditioned


beliefs, either consciously or unconsciously, it affects every
part of your life.

I said earlier that Amanda is clearly angry about the


breakup of her marriage. We’ve seen her take that anger out
on her houseguest and her boss. Another example is when the
little girl at the wedding asks Amanda if she has any tips she
can give her, because she wants to be a photographer when

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 47

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:

she grows up. Amanda sarcastically responds; “yeah, take a


lot of pictures.”

The events with her husband have affected every area


of Amanda’s life, to the point that she is incapable of
receiving the admiration of a child.

She is constantly looking through the lens of her fall. As a


result she is constantly finding reasons to be angry. It’s as
though she’s addicted to feeling angry.

Emotional Addictions

Amanda’s addiction to anger is an introduction to the


variety of emotional addictions we see during the wedding
reception, which is a veritable three ring circus of emotional
addiction.

At first glance, it’s easy to dismiss the behavior as being


fairly normal for a mixed crowd at a wedding reception
(albeit quite exaggerated).

We see a bridesmaid who gets a glass of wine spilt on


her and becomes hysterical, two teenage boys who are
evaluating all the females in the room with a kind of score
system, an overweight fellow looking like he is in heaven as he
digs into the buffet, the mother who is bossing everyone
around, the DJ flirting with a sexy guest who is flirting back, the
father who’s screaming at the DJ to play a polka and
Amanda and her new friend tossing back the drinks.

There is one scene that is unique to this particular


wedding reception. It’s the big dance number where
everyone is hooked up to an IV. The symbolism is not subtle
here at all, as we are all addicted to the particular peptide
cocktail that works for us in any given situation.

The whole reception scene has viewers laughing out


loud. Though I have to wonder just how much of the laughter
is nervous laughter at seeing behaviors that the viewer can
identify with.

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 49
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

We like to think of addictions in nice definitive terms that


allow us to separate ourselves from them. When you ask the
average person to describe an addict their response is likely
to conjure up images of a down and out individual in a back
alley. Very few people have the insight or the courage to say;

“Hmm, an addict, well I guess an addict could look just


like me.”

In “Molecules of Emotion” Candace Pert writes about


opiate receptors in the brain. These receptors wait for the right
peptide cocktail to arrive, before setting off a cascade of
reactions in the body. Dr. Pert says:

“A shocking but exciting fact revealed by the opiate-


receptor findings was that it didn’t matter if you were a lab
rat, a First Lady, or dope addict- everyone has the exact
same mechanism in the brain for creating bliss and expanded
consciousness.”

What is exciting about this discovery is that we each


have, within our brains, all of the ingredients necessary to
achieve a state of bliss. The reality is you can learn to do this.
Wouldn’t it be worth your while to find out how?

Like I said earlier; metaphorically speaking, everyone is


looking for a hit. What’s your drug of choice? Understand that
every behavior and every attitude creates its own peptide
cocktail. Your cell’s receptors are craving these peptides in
the same way that a drug addict’s body craves a narcotic.
This is why behavior and attitude changes can be difficult to
achieve.

Are you Wired for Love or Wired for Pain?

It’s easy to think that Amanda’s pain is caused by the


fact that her husband was unfaithful.

However, there is more to Amanda’s pain than meets


the eye. If Amanda’s pain is caused by her husband’s
infidelity, that would mean that the actual infidelity would
have to be going on in the exact moment that Amanda is
feeling the pain. Clearly, that is not the case. So, where is
Amanda’s pain coming from?

Her pain is coming from her memory.

She is remembering her husband’s infidelity over and


over again. She’s also remembering everything that is
associated with him, including her wedding day. And she is
equating all of that with pain. This is despite the fact that the
majority of her wedding day was probably a wonderful
experience.

As I said earlier, the ego mind will magnify a single event


that reinforces its beliefs, and it will ignore everything to the
contrary.

Dr. Joe Dispenza talks about the complex neuro-net of


love. I have researched the subject of love for many years;
how we fall into and how we fall out of love. I find it a
fascinating subject. What is most fascinating to me about love
is that it’s totally subjective and illogical.

The Little Known Secret about Love: Love Equations

If you’ve ever fallen in love, then you know that it


sometimes has nothing to do with whether the person is “right”
for you or not. Why is that? For the simple reason that love is a
subjective neuro-pathway formed inside each of our brains.
What does that mean? It means that due to your emotional
experiences, your brain has become wired to interpret love in
a very particular way. And this particular way is shaped by
what you have interpreted love to be in the past.

Each person has what I call a “love equation”. One


aspect of your love equation is the set of criteria that must be
present in order for you to fall in love. Another aspect of your
love equation is the set of criteria that must be present in
order for you to feel loved. For the purpose of this discussion, I
am going to focus on the second one: what must happen in
order for you to feel loved.

This aspect of your love equation is based on the


concept of reward. Let’s imagine that you were rewarded for
a particular behavior as a child, with an acknowledgement,
that you interpreted as love. You will likely run a version of that
behavior with a partner, in the hope of getting a similar
reward.

Here’s the kicker though. In all my years of clinical


research I’ve never found two partners to have identical love
equations for feeling loved. And I’ve worked with thousands
of people and their love equations.
Therefore, the way you express love could be very
different from the way your partner receives love, because
love equations are entirely subjective. What this may look like

“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

in a relationship, is one partner saying to the other; “I don’t


feel very loved by you”, while their partner responds by listing
the things they do to demonstrate their love.

Unfortunately, for the person who is complaining in this


example, the actions listed by their partner may not equate to
love in their mind.

From this I know you can see how it is entirely possible for
one partner in a relationship to feel they are being extremely
loving, while the other partner is actually feeling unloved.

My wife and I have both done a lot of work on love


equations and their role in relationships, and it is a fascinating
and empowering subject. If you’re interested in learning more,
send an email to:

info@whatthebleepdoesitmean.com and put “Love


Equations” in the subject line.

Now, in following Amanda’s story we are introduced to


another aspect of the love equation. I stated earlier that the
foundation for your love equation is based on emotional
experiences from your past. However, the aspect of your love
equation that forms the belief of what happens after you fall
in love can change dramatically as a result of a major
emotional upheaval. And we see this in the case of Amanda.
A traditional, conditioned love equation might go
something like this: meet the person of your dreams, fall in
love, get married and live happily ever after (the fairy tale).
It’s reasonable to assume that Amanda’s love equation was
similar to this up until the experience of her husband’s
infidelity.

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

What we see at the wedding is that Amanda’s love


equation seems to have dramatically changed. I would
suggest that her love equation now goes something like this:
meet the man of your dreams, fall in love, get married, suffer
infidelity and live in the pain of that experience forever.

For Amanda, even the thought of meeting a man and


falling in love, now equates to pain.

Every time Amanda replays the negative emotional


experience in her head, she is actually strengthening the new
love equation (which is less than empowering) by firing off the
synaptic response in her brain that makes this new equation
real for her.

Stop for a moment. You need to pay extra attention. So


clear your mind of any chatter and concentrate.

In the next section I’m going to explain how your love


equation affects who you attract into your life, and how you
attract them. This is a particular area of expertise of mine.

Quantum Resonant Fields: The Missing Link

Your Quantum Resonant Field (QRF) is the sum of your


personal history, beliefs, thoughts and experiences expressed
as an energetic field. You’ll recall I mentioned in the
introduction that this was the subject of my dissertation.
Think of your QRF as a radio station that is broadcasting
out across the universe.
The problem is you’re not always in control of your play
list. It’s quite likely that the radio station is playing some very
old records (your history). Even though you may want to play
contemporary music, it keeps playing the same old songs. In
this example, you will only attract the people, events and
experiences (your station’s audience) that resonate with that
play list.
You’ll never attract an audience who wants Mozart if
you’re broadcasting country music.

Therefore in real life, you will attract the people, events


and experiences that energetically match your QRF. This
works in much the same way as a magnet attracts metal, but
it doesn’t attract plastic.

The easiest way to understand this attraction is to think of


two energetic fields being in resonance with each other. And
this is the term I will use throughout this discussion.

Let me give you an example of how this works.

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 56
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

A person who resonates “being lucky” has a consistent


experience of good fortune. Don’t we all know somebody like
that?

Or if, like Amanda, a person is in emotional pain, and


that pain is rooted in betrayal ... That person will generally
attract people who are the most likely to betray them in some
way.

So, the obvious question is: “Hang on, why would


anybody do that?” Because, in most cases this is not a
conscious choice they are making.

You attract the people, events or experiences into your


life that reinforce your strongest emotional experiences. This is
what I mean by being in resonance.

We attract evidence that the ego mind considers


verification, of what we have come to believe is true. And so
we stay in repetitive cycles we may not even consciously
want.

I’m going to give you another example of resonance at


work. Everybody’s had the experience of walking into a room,
or meeting someone and instantly feeling comfortable or
uncomfortable. Many people describe it as getting a good or
a bad vibe from someone.
That vibe is your QRF interacting with another person’s
QRF. When you feel a good vibe from someone, there is
something in their QRF that matches yours. In just the same
way, when you feel a bad vibe from someone, there is also
something in their QRF that matches yours. Remember, your

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 57

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

QRF is the sum of all of your history, beliefs, thoughts and


experiences - which also includes anyone you’ve ever met.
This is a big one, so pay attention; this is life changing in
itself.
If you’ve ever met somebody who seemed trustworthy,
only to have them later betray you – your QRF will recognize
that aspect in another person’s QRF (if it is there) the moment
you meet them. How many times have you overruled your
instant reaction to meeting somebody, and later found out
that your intuition was spot on. What we call intuition or gut
feel is actually your QRF communicating to you directly.
Isn’t this amazing! First impressions really do count for a
lot, don’t they!
Now, let’s go back to the wedding reception again.
When one of the bridesmaids says: “Oh …. Something like this
always happens!” after a drink is spilt on her. You now know
that it’s her QRF that has communicated the “intuition” that
this type of thing always happens.

The event reinforces what she believes to be true (her


intuition that something bad would happen). Her emotional
response is predictably the same (the synapses are firing as
conditioned). And, as a result, she experiences things she
doesn’t even consciously want, repeatedly. Why?

Because your QRF is responsible for all the recurring


patterns in your life, whether you consider them good or bad.
And as patterns are repeated, they are reinforced. Your
emotional reaction in any given situation has a cumulative

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 58
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

affect on your QRF, and empowers it to attract more of the


same into your life.
When you change the way you emotionally react in any
given situation, you begin to change your QRF.

I’d like to tell you a story that illustrates this point


beautifully.

Several years ago I was working with a participant in one


of my workshops - I will call him Richard. One of the things we
discussed was his frustration with men aggressively confronting
him on a regular basis. I tried to explain to him that he was the
common denominator in these interactions, but Richard
couldn’t grasp the concept, and denied that he was causing
these incidents in any way.

After a few more discussions, we were able to work


through anger issues that Richard was not even aware of. As
a result, when I happened to speak to Richard several months
later, he happily reported that he no longer found himself in
confrontations all the time.

I asked Richard: “Did everybody else change, or was it


you that changed?” And at that moment, Richard actually
got it. He realized that as a result of changing his QRF, he was
now creating a different reality for himself.
The bottom line is that you are the common
denominator in all experiences in your life, both good and
bad. Your QRF is attracting the positive and the negative. Do
you recognize the positive when it comes your way as easily
as you do the negative? When positive energy is present in

your life do you dismiss it as a fluke or something that will


quickly disappear? It’s worth thinking about.

Nothing is an accident. Your quantum resonant field is


attracting everything you are experiencing in your life – all the
time.

The study of quantum resonant fields has formed the


basis of my life’s work, and I am thrilled to be sharing my
knowledge with you here. Clearly, the subject was not
touched upon in the film – but if you have found it interesting
or informative, I would love to hear from you.
People have told me that understanding their QRF was
the missing link for them. It explained why things like
affirmations and positive thinking are difficult to achieve
anything with.

What Do You See in The Mirror?

At the wedding reception Amanda is able to temporarily


let go of her pain and enjoy life, after medicating herself with
a few stiff drinks. The next morning however, the mood is quite
different. An envelope with photos from the night before is
slipped under the door.

Amanda hates the photos that were taken of her and


stands in front of a mirror telling herself: “you suck!” She then
goes into the bathroom and explodes into a rage while
looking in the mirror screaming at herself “I hate you!”, “you
are fat!”, “you’re ugly!”, “you are old!” Amanda’s self hate is
violent in its expression and she smashes the image of herself
reflected in the mirror.

Amanda’s ego mind is creating evidence to prove to her


that the negative beliefs she has are true.

Many people can relate to the self-critical side of


Amanda as she looks in the mirror and only sees the things she
hates about herself.

In the movie there is no mistaking Amanda’s self hate. It’s


contained in the words she screams at herself. For most
people though, these words play inside their head.

If Thoughts Can Affect Water …


Suddenly time slows down, and a drop of water falling
from the faucet into the basin snaps Amanda’s mind into
focus. As she focuses she hears the voice of the man from the
railway station where she first saw the photos of Dr. Emoto’s
water crystals;

“If our thoughts can do that to water, what can they do


to us?”

Suddenly Amanda is laughing and we see her drawing


hearts all over herself. She continues drawing the hearts while
taking a hot soothing bath.

Some people may be able to relate to the self hate


expressed in the bathroom, even in a subtle way. Others can
relate to the self love she expresses by drawing hearts on
herself as she takes a bath. Though I imagine few of you can
relate to such a dramatic change in such a short time.

Clearly, just as with the train earlier in the film, Amanda


has moved at hyper speed from one belief, one reality, to the
next.

But the symbolic use of water throughout the film is also


very profound. For example, earlier at the church Amanda
was unable to cross herself with holy water, and now as a
result of her transformation she baptizes herself in self-love.

I urge you to examine the beliefs you hold about who


you are on all levels. Think about it, are they your own, or are
they passed on from other people like your parents, siblings,

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 62

peers or even the media? Whose beliefs are they really, and
how long have you had them? And most importantly, are
they serving you?

We can all begin to transform disempowering beliefs


about ourselves by recognizing where they come from, and
replacing them with empowering beliefs.

If you’re interested in learning more about how to


transform disempowering beliefs send an email to:

word “Beliefs” in the subject line.

Remember, you always have a choice in this world of


infinite possibilities.

Set Yourself Free

In the final act of the film we see Amanda walking. As


she passes the church she looks and smiles and keeps on
going. We are actually back at the opening scene. Amanda
enters the cinema, where she becomes aware of herself in
what is called super position in quantum physics. She’s in three
places at one time.

Amanda stands on the ramp as one self passes by her


on the arm of her husband and another self walks up to her,
and they merge while smiling.

Amanda walks out of the cinema and into the street


where she passes many people doing many different things.
Each one of them is a different version of herself. She even
passes herself wearing a sign that says “Make Known the
Unknown”.

So, what the bleep does it all mean?

In its simplest form it means: Ask Yourself Deeper


Questions. Discover what it is that you don’t know yet - that
could empower you.

So Amanda keeps walking until she is at a quiet place


facing the water, and looking at the night sky as she falls
asleep on a bench. The next morning she awakens to a
beautiful day. She reaches into her pocket and finds her
medication, which she promptly tosses, like a basketball, into
a trashcan.

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

Now, let’s examine these closing scenes carefully,


because they have so much to say.

Amanda’s passing the church with a smile is a metaphor


for several things. It is a metaphor for her moving beyond her
negative power moment. She can now look at the place she
once associated with pain without feeling it any more.
Secondly, the fact that Amanda smiles but doesn’t enter the
church is a metaphor for her finding within herself whatever it
was that she may have previously looked for in that building.

Why does Amanda end up back at the cinema, the


place where we originally saw her?

Again, this is brilliant. It’s a metaphor for always ending


up back where you started, repeating cycles of what you
don’t consciously want. Unless of course, you make real
changes, like Amanda has.

Amanda’s walk down the street past all those other


versions of herself is a wonderful metaphor for a Buddhist
teaching that is supported in quantum physics; there is no
separation. All things in the universe are connected and the
ultimate act of compassion is to look for yourself in everyone
that you meet.

At the end of Amanda’s walk she is sitting on a bench


looking out over a large body of water. Once again the water
is symbolic, and here it is possibly symbolizing that the way she
thinks and feels is having an affect on a large scale.

She falls asleep on the bench symbolizing the end of a


day and the end of a way of being. She awakens to a bright

new day, a day where she is dynamically alive. Amanda


throwing away the medication it is also symbolic.

She is free at last.

So, let’s recap the major points I have covered …

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 66

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

Now Ponder This!

Whenever we read a book or watch a movie with a


reasonably likable lead character, it is human nature to
consciously or unconsciously see ourselves in that character. It
is one of the ways human beings learn; by observation. In
viewing “What the Bleep Do We Know?!” we learn our lessons
by watching Amanda. She becomes a surrogate for each of
us, teaching us through her mistakes and her ultimate triumph.

You may recall that I started out my analysis of the


movie referring to “the observer”. In fact, while watching this
or any movie we are in the position of an external observer.

We learn so much through Amanda’s journey. Her


journey helps us to understand that we may sometimes feel
like victims of circumstance, (like the bridesmaid who got wine
spilt on her) when we are actually incredibly powerful beings
creating our own realities. We see that we do not have to
react with an automatic, programmed response to the
situations we find ourselves in. Instead, we can become
detached observers who make choices - and that each
choice has its own consequences.

Understand that the choices we make in life result in


consequences and not punishments. This is an important
distinction.

Reggie taught us that each of our choices has a


consequence, though he called them possibilities. He said
that there are infinite choices creating infinite possibilities, and
all you have to do is choose. Reggie also taught us that we

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 67
© Baron Research 2004
Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

can focus on a power moment at any time, and the energy


of that moment can become your fuel. He taught us that we
can choose to be in our power, even if we felt weak or
inadequate only moments before.

The important thing to remember is that it’s your reality,


your movie. You are the director, the screenwriter, casting
director, producer and any other role needed to create your
movie. And if you don’t like the movie the way it is - you can
change it anytime you choose to step into your power.

I happened to agree with Marianne Williamson when


she said in her magnificent book “A Return to Love”: “Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure.”

So own the power of who you really are and give up any
false identity you may be holding about being weak or a
victim or any other limiting belief.

They’re all lies!

Be like the child, who despite the dog being off the leash
is laughing without any fear of loss and as a result is so totally
alive. It’s inspiring. Embrace the change that is around you,
even if it seems painful at the time. This may be just what you
need in order to evolve to the next level of your being. Be
willing to see beauty where in the past you had no
conception of beauty, you may be surprised at how much of
it surrounds you everyday.

Amanda’s need for her anxiety medication offers us an


opportunity to examine the possibility that we may all be

www.whatthebleepdoesitmean.com 68

Dr. Dõv Baron interprets the hit film:
“What the Bleep Do We Know!?”

medicating ourselves in some form or another. For that matter,


throughout the wedding scene we learned that behaviors are
often a response to our own emotional addictions. We
learned that every behavior has a cascade of peptides
associated with it and every time those peptides get released,
we are setting ourselves up for an emotional addiction.

Through Amanda’s missing the train we got to look at the


possibility that sometimes things that appear to be going
wrong are in fact going just right. That’s how Amanda got to
see Dr. Emoto’s research and learn that her thoughts were
damaging parts of her life, including her own body.

I then introduced you to the Equation for Manifestation


and how your thoughts, emotions and feelings are having a
direct impact on your reality.

You need to understand that your life is like the empty


pages of the photo album Amanda received as a gift. It’s
ready for you to choose the very best images for inclusion. Of
course, the only way to do that is to live in the present, and
not let negative memories cloud your vision.

Remember that your brain is receiving tons of


information and filtering almost all of it out to match what your
ego mind believes is real - based on the history of who you
were, not who you are!

Be willing to consider that everyone who is in your life is


there to show you something. It may be to reflect a part of
yourself you have repressed, an issue you need to deal with or
maybe they’re just there so you can learn to say “no” to
them.

We learned that the mind does not know the difference


between what it sees and what it imagines or remembers,
therefore you, like Dr. Joe Dispenza can now create your day.
You can create your entire reality.

The filmmakers have skillfully demonstrated that we are


great and powerful beings. Now I challenge you to
incorporate this knowledge into your life. Share it with others,
not just with your words, but with your actions too.

Use the Equation of Manifestation and create a life that’s


in resonance with your own magnificence.

If you’re in a relationship and would like to make it feel


more loving, find out about your partner’s Love Equation. It will
take your relationship to the next level. And remember, this
works wonderfully with your friends and family as well.

And finally, remember that your Quantum Resonant Field


is the sum of your history, beliefs, thoughts and experiences -
expressed as an energetic field.

The bottom line is this: change your quantum resonant


field and you will change your life.
