The God Within (FULL) from DivinityNow.com - Mike Adams

Mike Adams, the author of this documentary, says he always admired physicists. He says physicists seek answers by asking questions of nature and when they follow with rigorous scientific approach to the quest for knowledge, they refuse to be sidelined by dogma, personal belief or trickery. Science, in its most pure form, is about the search for truth.

Mike is not referring to the bastardization of science by modern corporations, which use the language of science to push a kind of intellectual tyranny involving for profit GMO's, vaccines and pharmaceuticals. He's talking about pure non-corporate driven science and the quest for human understanding.

This search for human understanding has lead him through a number of fascinating areas of study, but he found the most fertile ground for exploration in the fields of quantum physics, the many-worlds interpretation and the study of consciousness. Along that path, he decided to read a book by famed physicist Stephen Hawking and co-author Leonard Mlodinow.

As a fan of Hawking's work over the years, Mike relished the idea of reading his explanations of the theory of everything, The Grand Design, the invisible hand behind it all. What he found in his book, however, rather surprised him. On the very first page of the book, Mike found himself quite disappointed in the apparent lack of understanding of the universe from someone as intellectually capable as Hawking.

His words reflect what can only be called "the great failing" of modern day physics, to address the meaning behind the math. Far too many mainstream physicists seem stuck in what can only be called the Newtonian era of consciousness, that is, they don't yet grasp the idea that consciousness exists at all.

Hawking's book, The Grand Design, did serve another useful purpose in Mike's search for understanding. It nicely summarized the outmoded view of conventional physics. This mainstream view of physics is to reality what conventional medicine is to healing. In other words, it has all the technical jargon but none of the soul, and so it misses the whole point.

According to Mike, conventional physics is the clever conglomeration of high level mathematics desperately seeking to avoid any discussion of what it all means. You're not allowed to talk about consciousness or free will or the spooky connectedness that has been experimentally demonstrated to exist between all things in the universe, because that brings up too many questions that make conventional physicists uncomfortable... questions about God or the intersection of intention with the physical universe or free will.

I shall only say he also touches on the subject of psychopaths, organic portals etc. In fact this is what caught my attention. Where is he getting all his info from?

Good documentary. Nicely narrated. Funny. And I think it does offer some insight that might be new to some, at least some of what he said was profound to me e.g. we could be some experiment. I have never heard this argument put forth in such a manner and I have to say, IT COULD BE TRUE.

Also, he kind of talks about 'objective knowledge' which is something I'd like to start a thread about, just to clarify my own understanding.

Edit: Done a search for the name and noticed his name pops up with regards to medicine quite a lot. Uhmm, in this doc he isn't selling anything we haven't heard off. If anything he is just expounding on issues already expounded upon by people like Rupert Sheldrake plus he goes onto other stuff like OPs, psychopaths, origin of the universe, meaning of life i.e. self discovery, corruption of science etc.

Hmm. I wonder if he's "skimming" the forum (and SOTT) for the main ideas he covers. There's some evidence, if you search the forum, that he and his website (Natural News) maybe disinfo/controlled opposition. And they push the vegetarian myth. Just so you know.

Yes, I searched his name and saw that, though I didn't know he was pushing the veggy myth. But to be fair, this is implied subtly in his criticism of determinism. He stretches it to animals and surprisingly plants (I didn't know the US Gov has a culling program where they exterminate countless animals each year to maintain population levels). I suppose in essence, he is all about 'not hurting'. But, hey, one has got to eat. ;) So it appears he has a blinder there.

So yes, this is a criticism but other than that I think his doc is quite nicely done. Even though he may be stealing stuff, he isn't exactly distorting it beyond recognition. However, he isn't citing where he is getting his stuff which leaves the viewer (who has no knowledge of such stuff but is interested) with an inability to research further.

Thanks for the hint, ST. A research on the forum helps a lot because otherwise one might easily fall for the documentary luke wilson brought up.

I actually enjoyed it very much, despite reading the comments of you both first. Would even say that it combines important topics (science, truth, psychopathy, consciousness, soul) in a very nice way. The biggest problem is the missing sourcing. The whole doc then appears like a bait. Smart and catchy.

Again and again we see that the best disinfo is 90 to 95% truth.
