I AM, the movie

No, I don't have illogical aspirations of being in a movie.  I recently saw a documentary directed by Tom Shadyac (The Nutty Professor, Ace Ventura, among others) called I AM.  After suffering a brain injury and recovering he decided to go out and ask some of our global thinkers, leaders, philosophers, writers, etc. two questions: What's wrong with our world and how can we change it.  The film, inspiring, and at times a little campy, ends with the conclusion that by asking what was wrong with the world, they discovered, through insightful conversations and applied science, that, in fact, there is a lot quite RIGHT with the world, starting with me, or you or that concept of I AM. 

I AM is a major tenet in Science of Mind philosophy.  So, I, quite obviously was enthusiastic about the film.  It reminds me a lot of "What the Bleep We Don't Know" and even a little of "The Secret".  All three films have a scientific/mystical slant in which the ideas we humans have taken for granted as the basis for science, politics, governance, societal functionality are essentially blown apart and laid out before the viewer as if to say, "what do you see?" 


From this site.

When things are blown apart, the parts are scattered around, pieces shredded and things are left unrecognizable.  I mean, I have never been in war and I don't think I've ever, specifically seen things "blown apart".  Only images on television and movies, come to mind.  But I do have a pretty good idea of what it's like for shit to fall apart.  Science of Mind would assert that it is in this devastation and deconstruction that truth emerges. 

From my own personal experience, I would agree. 

Much of the music I listen to, many of the books I read, plenty of the people I speak with all reaffirm this basic truth: Love is All There Really Is.  When love is missing from the equation, it often means something is amiss.  Someone has run afoul; something has run amok; somewhere has become the reality of now. 

In the documentary, a scientist is filmed asserting science-based research data that shows that our heart outweighs and out-performs our brain in decision-making, reacting to different environmental factors and in the end, living our lives.  In fact, they conducted study after study in which hearts were able to predict outcomes with accuracy based on "feelings" put off by our hearts.  Our heart knows the simple, animalistic fact of nature that we are all united, connected and universally one.  Nothing and no one is against us. 

When things go wrong, and they will most certainly do so, it's not our responsibility to control the course of events to follow our perceived path of choice, but rather be like the leaf on the tree that flits and flutters in the wind of change.   Affixed but flexible, alive and connected but with destiny for other roles and functions.  And what's so darn impressive is that "fixed and determined" nature of Nature at present is the Absolute Truth that the only thing we can count on is CHANGE. 

So, in this influx of permeability, there is an under-riding truth of inconsistency.
