Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 This made me think of the film What the Bleep Do We Know, which was playing in my area for many months last year. I just checked the movie's website http://www.whatthebleep.com and it's making its way to other countries. Maybe it is available on DVD; not sure. But if it is, it's worth getting a copy. I may have posted about the film here before, but Nora's comments below are exactly on point with the work of a scientist interviewed in the movie, Candace Pert, who shows that habits of feeling particular kinds of emotions are chemical reactions in the body that we experience a lot and then grow accustomed to, so that we do thereafter experience the same feelings in all different kinds of situations and circumstances. It happens in our cells, between a receptor (molecule) in the cell, and a ligand (from the Latin meaning "that which binds," has the same root as the word "religion"). Dr. Pert has a book out (which I have) called Molecules of Emotion, which is where this cellular info comes from. It's all about how our body and emotions and minds are interlinked. She has been involved in HIV research, etc. and also discusses the politics of the field of scientific research and discovery. Seeing the movie is helpful for visualizing what is happening in the body when these chemical reactions occur. It's humourously shown, which helps in applying the information later. To change such chemical/emotional patterns takes a lot of inner work, and why not get all the help we need, such as that offered in movies and books that address such issues. , "NMadasamy" <nmadasamy@s...> wrote: > No body, can make you feel humiliated nor > low without your permission.
