Language in Dulce

5/11/2016

We're just a few days away from the screening of The Language of Spirituality at the Wild Horse Casino Event Center in beautiful Dulce, New Mexico. Screening time is 9:30 am, Sunday, May 15. I will have a few DVDs there available for sale, but you can always come back to this site to order a copy.

The screening will be part of the Dulce Base UFO Conference sponsored by Apache Indigenous Defenders, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to improving social and economic well-being on the reservation and to defend the Apache heritage from cultural loss through the endorsement and support of approaches guided by traditional values and culture. While their original choice of High Strange New Mexico, my film about the UFO subculture of New Mexico, with specific reference to Dulce Base may have been the obvious choice, I think The Language of Spirituality may have much more impact as it focuses on indigenous ways of knowing and its connection to modern science, and seeks to validate Native American languages and worldview.

Language Lives in Dulce

I was originally invited to screen my chestnut High Strange New Mexico at the upcoming Dulce Base UFO Conference May 14 and 15 in Dulce, New Mexico. However, at the request of one of the organizers, I will now be screening The Language of Spirituality instead. I'm excited to do this as Language has played to comparatively few audiences. Although it has nothing to do with UFOs or underground bases, it does take on the equally weird subject of the intersection of Native American cosmology, quantum physics and language. Screening time is 9:30 am, May 15 at the Wild Horse Casino on the Jicarilla Apache reservation. I will be posting more details as we near the conference.

Much Ado About Nothing

7/25/2012

    This article by Ron Rosenbaum about "nothing" is one of the most substantial and provocative pieces of journalism I've seen in a while. Rosenbaum's contention, based on reviews of existing literature, is that scientists still cannot prove that the universe, reality, or life, arose from nothing as many still contend.
    Rosenbaum points out how some scientists fudge "nothing" so that they can "prove" the universe erupted from nothing. But Rosenbaum is quick to catch the bogus arguments, such as the one that claims a vacuum is the same as nothing. It's not. He also blows up the argument presented by one eminent scientist that the universe could have exploded from a single gram of matter, begging the obvious question, where did the gram of matter come from.
    Rosenbaum also points out how some scientists point to the "laws" of quantum physics to explain something from nothing, except there is no proof that the laws existed before or after the Big
    The best we can do is ask how anything came to exist at all.

Review of "The Quantum Activist"

9/1/2009

    I had the honor recently of having my documentary "The Language of Spirituality" appear on a double bill in New Mexico with the new movie about physicist Amit Goswami called "The Quantum Activist," by filmmakers Ri Stewart and Renee Slade
   It was the first screening outside of a film festival in the United States, and sponsored by the SEED Graduate Institute. Mr. Goswami, of course, was a participant in this year's "The Language of Spirit" dialogues in Albuquerque, NM.
   Goswami is probably familiar to many of you. He became somewhat of a celebrity after appearing in "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and has authored a host of books on spirituality and physics. He's developed a reputation as a maverick in the world of quantum physics and consciousness.
    In short, he believes that universal consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all existence.
   The movie relates the events from his childhood in India that shaped him for the rest of his life and made him the quantum activist. He grew up in a spiritual culture, watched his country's struggle for independence and then sought answers in science. Now he has come full circle, merging science and religion, in time to confront global problems.
   In essence, Goswami subscribes to the notion that what we perceive as reality originates from a super-consciousness or non-local consciousness -- God, if you like -- that we are all part of.
   From there, he tackles some of the big existential questions.
   One of the questions that most of us eventually arrive at in the field of consciousness is the paradox that when we each seem to create our own world, who gets to choose?
   Goswami's answer? The solution that frees us from paradox is that the choice comes from the non-local consciousness that connects all of us.
   He also notes that the brain is not reality, but is responsible for creating what we experience in our 3D world. It's the brain's decision to focus on particular aspects of the field of possibilities, which collapses the wave form, as physicists like to say, causing a possibility to manifest in this reality.
   It is also the conditioning of the brain, that makes us appear as separate bodies.
   Lastly, he notes that we do choose our own realities. But it's the non-local consciousness, not the ego, that does that. That's why programs built around "intention" often don't work. If your ego's intention is not in line with the intention of consciousness, then it won't manifest. There goes your Maserati.
   I only had one complaint. While Goswami's theories are accepted by a growing portion of the scientific community, it would have been nice to hear him answer some of the challenges posed by critics who are fans of materialism.
   Other than that, I found Goswami to be an engaging personality with a serious message.
