From promotional literature dated July 19, 2004:

"In the story, the protagonist, Amanda, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience. Her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of what physicists define as the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. After this "awakening," she is no longer the victim of circumstances, but on her way to being the creative force in her life.

What Are the Physicists Learning? What Do Religions Teach?
Since the 1975 publication of The Tao of Physics, Fritjof Capra's groundbreaking exploration of the emerging concordance of physics and religion, leading edge scientific researchers have been finding ever greater agreement between their findings and the deepest, most fundamental precepts of the world's great religions.

What are these scientists actually saying about the nature of reality, and our place in it? Here are some of their current representations -

1. The physical world, matter, is basically not solid. The appearance of solidity is an illusion.
2. Time is fluid. It appears to be going forward, AND backward.
3. At the base level of our observable reality, everything and everyone is connected.
4. Our mind directly affects physical reality.
5. The cause of our repetitively boring lives is the biochemical addiction to emotions.

And what have the great religions taught over the millennia that tend to agree with these findings?

1. The world is Maya - Illusion
2. Time does not exist; everything exists at once in the NOW.
3. We are ONE.
4. We create our Reality. We are Gods at play in the illusion we call real.
5. The root cause of all suffering is attachment to desire.

The film gives viewers a choice. We can continue to rely on our old religious dogmas for meaning, understanding and guidance. Or we can examine what leading edge scientists are discovering about the way the universe works -- including the way we work - see where this new knowledge converges with mystical truths, and live our lives based on these precepts, which are now being proved to be universally true."
