I'll pass on this cult propaganda film trying to pass itself off as science.

I'll pass on this cult propaganda film trying to pass itself off as science.
it's very clearly psuedo-science garbage. It was funded by and directed by the Ramtha School of Enlightenment. You know, the people who follow the person they featured who claims to be a 35,000 year old warrior.I never claimed it was a documentary and yes, some of it is questionable but there is very valid information to be gleaned from it, besides the Yogis and gurus there are two quantum physicists and a neurologist that make some valid claims, you have to watch it objectively, don't just pass it off as pseudo-science garbage!
A lot more now science is leaning toward holographic universe, quantum physics works better in two dimensions.We all live in the Matrix. /thread
I think a better question would be: Do you believe in reincarnation? Like our corpse goes into the ground and the nutrients sprout a plant. Are we that plant? If that plant is eaten bu a human male (or female), and becomes ATP for sperm/egg production, are we that sperm/egg? If we win the sperm/egg race, do we come full circle and get another chance at life?
What can be gleaned from it, that quantum mechanics supports consciousness?If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it, it's not going to brain wash you if you do, I don't believe in god but I've read the bible, know what I mean? Like I said, there is some valid info to be gleaned if for nothing more than to ponder something you hadn't thought of yet. When you close your mind, you stop learning!

No, I cannot. I also cannot say with 100% certainty that the Flying Spaghetti Monster didn't touch the inhabitants of the country of Somalia with his noodly appendage turning them into pirates. That's not what science is about. Science is about explaining things that you can and admitting you don't know things that you, well, don't know. So I cannot say that quantum mechanics does not lead to consciousness, but does not mean its does and it disingenuous to claim such. This is just another case of something we don't fully understand (yet) and is much like the notorious "God of the gaps" where what we don't know can be anything until we do know, so people fill it in with what they want it to be and say "you can't prove me wrong" until they are finally proven wrong and the gap is filled leaving less space to be occupied by a god as we pick up a greater understanding of the universe.And you can say with 100% certainty that it isn't? I mean science tells us that everything else is relative, so why not consciousness?

I'm not being hostile, I was pointing out that the movie you recommended was pseudo-science garbage. You're still free to believe whatever you want, I draw the line when people start misrepresenting science to support their cause, which is why our entire discussion started when you tried to appeal to the law of conservation of energy to support the existence of souls that live forever.I'm certainly not making any claims, I'm speculating and theorizing like everybody else in the thread, why so hostile?
