The Little Book of Bleeps: Quotations from the Movie... What the Bleep Do We Know!?

by Betsy Chasse

For thousands of years, the inner teachings of all great religions have expressed the idea that human beings -- each of us -- create our own reality. That is, that the life we experience is a function of our own belief system and mental processes. "As ye believe, so shall it be." They have also taught that the life we experience is like a dream, insubstantial.

Now, leading edge science (quantum physics) is proposing the very same notions: that our physical reality is more like "information" -- similar to a thought -- than like anything else. And that physical reality consists mostly of empty space. Furthermore, mind-body scientists (neurophysiologists) are learning more about the profound and pervasive affects that our minds have on our physical bodies.

In What the Bleep Do We Know?!, 14 top scientists, theologians and mystics explain "how this all works," as we follow Amanda, an anxious, depressed professional photographer played by Academy Award-winner Marlee Matlin, through her awakening and transformation. The Little Book of BLEEPS captures many of the most enlightening sayings and impacting graphics from the film.

About the author

What happens when the least spiritual person on the planet gets hired to make a movie about spirituality? You're about to find out.

Killing Buddha is a delightfully irreverent, LOL read. Sara Wells and her crew are exactly what we need to remind us that life is a journey best enjoyed with authenticity, vulnerability and laughter. I couldn't stop laughing even as I soaked up the wisdom this hilarious tale has to tell. Enjoy this total page turner.

Elaine Hendrix, Actress (What The Bleep Do We Know!? Parent Trap, Dynasty), Activist

When life is in chaos we are forced to change, a lesson successful-but-not-the-way-she-wants-to-be film producer Sara Wells reluctantly learns when her seemingly perfect life comes crashing down.

Desperate for work and a new life, she takes on a documentary project about spirituality and the New Thought movement.

Will Killing Buddha mark her triumphant return to the riches she thinks her life once contained? Or will

she and her mismatched crew of seekers, believers and cynics find that, in the end, it's not what you have and what you believe in, but who you ultimately

become that counts?

Funny and light-hearted, Killing Buddha is a thought-provoking, mostly fictional tale based on the experiences of Betsy

Chasse, award-winning filmmaker of the international hit indie film What the Bleep Do We KnowI? which ignited the New Thought industry for the new millennium. The book explores the world of New Age / New Thought spirituality and personal growth, exposing both the ridiculousness and the sublimity of the spiritual journey in an authentic and humorous way.

Betsy Chasse is an award-winning filmmaker, best known for her role as co-writer, director and producer of What The Bleep Do We Know?!. The

best-selling author of Tipping Sacred Cows, she has produced over 30 feature films and documentaries. (And yes, some of those would

be considered porn...) She is a mom to two spirited and opinionated teenagers, still loves wine, but has decided to leave the Tequila on the top

shelf where it belongs.

Reviews

[Rob Same]

Distilled from the fatuous, nonsensical movie What the Bleep do we Know? and largely sponsored by New Age hustler J.Z. Knight (Recently caught on tape delivering a breathtaking racist rant). As somebody else wrote of this film/book..."covers topics from quantum physics to neuropsychology and emotions..." Yes, but covers all of them inaccurately, misleadingly, tendentiously. A movie and book so filled with gross misrepresentations of science and philosophy that it staggers the mind. No truly knowledgeable--or thinking--person would take this particular piece of claptrap seriously.
