so it was this film my mom really wanted me to see – it sort of grappled with intro to quantum physics and the realm of reality/consciousness/religion. All around, a good provoker, especially if this is new to you. It made me want to read more books about quantum physics, which is more than I can say of most documentaries!

I do recommend checking it out…. if nothing else but for the snot-like animated “atoms” who fire around our brains and apparently play in a fabulous classic rock cover-band (and make us do stuff). The addictions section was a good reminder, and who doesn’t love the “we are one” idea. It also brings up wave-particle theory, and I wish I could explain that further… need to get a book, I ‘spose.

This is exactly what i avoid.. a crash diet that eliminates food groups, it’s suffering, i’m not doing it! I have the tools to be healthy, I just have to define my own rules not live by this low carb standard… at least until i find better science (i did some research online) saying that this is the way to go.

This goal isn’t exactly being given up on… i just need to redefine it. I felt trapped!
