    What the Bleep is an excellent movie but full of holes and it misuses information and quotations. not to mention the primary creator believes he is the reincarnation of a ten thousand year old indian god or something crazy

    Somewhat on topic, I'm curious if anyone knows if you can manipulate what you could call the sixth sence. And in this case I'm talking about body awareness (aka balance sence, knowing were your limbs are without touching or seeing them, etc). It's easy to disrupt that (getting drunk for example), but can you manipulate it, aka give it false information, say that you sit when you stand and stuff like that?

    To completely trick the mind, you'll need to deal with that.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Try this:

    1. Stand in front of a wall with both arms hanging down, palms away from the wall.
    2. Push both arms against the wall for some time.
    3. step back from the wall, and notice what happens to your arms...
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
