A movie for everybody to see:   "What the Bleep Do We Know!?"  <a href="http://www.whatthebleep.com/" target="_blank">http://www.whatthebleep.com/</a>   It's basically big-time movie about neurology and quantum physics.  It's motivating to see that people can use their briains to overcome a lot of life's problems (and pains).  Most people at the theater I was at were smoking pot, but physics and neurology is 100% my business so it was like C.E. for me.Good luck all,jh</blockquote>
