Forward Thinking

I watched a movie that has changed the way I think about things. Its an American film called "What the Bleep do we Know?" about quantum physics and how that applies to our lives. Synoptically, this movie discusses how our thoughts dictate our reality and how we can be in control of our environment. They also explain how they have scientifically proven some examples of this.

One such example is Dr. Emoto's work on photographing the water molecule. Dr. Emoto took water from the same source and put it into several different bottles and subjected these bottles to different thoughts and ideas. For example he put a label on one bottle called "Thank You." On another he put "You Make Me Sick. I Will Kill You." The next day Emoto photographed the water molecule with a microscope and got strikingly different images. "Thank You" presented a beautiful, symmetric crystal, while the other was distorted and discoloured. Just the thought that he put on that bottle physically changed the chemical structure of a water molecule! If the body is over 70% water, imagine what your thoughts can do to you...

He also had water subjected to different music, and names of world leaders.

I'm starting to believe now more in personal affrimations, optimistic tendancies, and treating others better. Try it. They also talk about in this movie that the synaptic interfaces in the brain are conditioned to certain paths that dictate how we react to situations. We react how we have in the past. Changing our thinking will weaken these links and form new links in the interfaces which will, in turn, change our behaviour.


I've still been really busy with the bar. I've really turned my focus and energy on managing staff. I'm learning how to do this bit by bit and hoping that this experience I can carry on to any line of work. I hope if I can manage a bunch of crazy bartenders, I can manage a group of nerdy engineers any day! I've also attended a manager's seminar through the Otago Polytechnic Univerisity here and learned a great deal on the subject. I will follow the steps necessary and eventually get a internationally recognized General Manager's Certfificate. It costs about $400 but I figure this is a good thing to have. I'm also thinking of attending a professional bartender's course which will give me an internationally recognized credit to the bartender's guild. I guess I just like learning in general and I figure if I do anything, I want to do it well. I'm also updating the website now (or supposed to) so feel free to join in: http://www.goodbars.co.nz/bars/GoodbarsHome/Skybar/tabid/58/Default.aspx

Ski season starts soon here (in about 5 weeks) and the whole town is buzzing about it. I don't expect the snow or the terrain to be anything to write home about, but I think it will be a fun experience nonetheless.

I also have more news to come as I'm moving into a new primo flat with a plasma TV, a spa and a sauna overlooking the lake! Stay tuned.
