Ramtha

Ramtha is an entity whose teachings are central to the 2004 film "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" This film, described as pseudo-scientific and an example of quantum mysticism, explores the purported connection between quantum physics and consciousness. It uses a fictional narrative alongside documentary-style interviews to suggest that individual and group consciousness can influence the material world, and that reality is constructed from thoughts rather than matter. The film's creators were students of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment. Despite significant criticism for misrepresenting science and containing unsupported ideas, the film gained a substantial audience through independent film channels and viral marketing, eventually grossing over $10 million worldwide. The film's core message, as presented, is that "We create our own reality."

The film "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" presents a worldview influenced by Ramtha's teachings, suggesting that the universe is fundamentally composed of thoughts and ideas. It posits that empty space is not truly empty and that matter, including electrons, behaves in ways that defy conventional understanding, appearing and disappearing. A central tenet is the idea that one's beliefs about self and reality directly shape personal experiences and the world around them. The film also touches on the brain's production of peptides in response to emotions and explores the concept that consciousness is the fundamental basis of existence. These ideas are presented through a fictional storyline and interviews, aiming to illustrate the film's unique perspective on reality and consciousness.

Ramtha, described as a 35,000-year-old Lemurian warrior channeled entity, plays a significant role in the film's narrative and philosophical underpinnings. The film suggests that Ramtha provides insights into quantum physics and consciousness, advocating for the idea that individuals can actively create their own realities. The teachings presented, particularly through the "Ramtha channeling" segments, encourage viewers to consider the power of belief and consciousness in shaping the material world. This perspective is a core element of the film's exploration of quantum mysticism, positioning Ramtha as a source of esoteric knowledge that connects ancient wisdom with modern scientific concepts, albeit in a way that has been widely criticized by the scientific community.

The film "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" received mixed reviews and significant criticism, particularly from the scientific community. It has been labeled as pseudo-scientific, with critics pointing out misrepresentations of quantum physics and unsupported claims. Assertions that thought can influence water molecules, that meditation can reduce crime, and that quantum physics implies consciousness is the ground of all being were specifically challenged. Scientists noted that the film's explanations, such as using a bouncing basketball to illustrate the uncertainty principle, were pedagogical exaggerations that led to "quantum nonsense." Despite these criticisms, the film resonated with a segment of the public seeking spiritual connections, contributing to its commercial success as an independent film.
