About How The Living Matrix Movie was Made
The following two questions and answers deal with the creators of the movie as well as the participants and their stories of healing related to bioenergetic interventions.
The final question and answer of the paper found on the Living Matrix facebook webpage will be published tomorrow. Hope you have enjoyed reading this information. Hope also that you will find a way to see the movie and draw your own conclusions about it.
How did you choose the participants in the film?
Through their individual long term struggles with chronic fatigue syndrome, film makers Greg Becker and Harry Massey eventually came to discover the work of the pioneers who were advancing the idea of the human body field and energy medicine. Both men were enthused about a movement that they sensed was gaining momentum: Bioenergetics. Harry made scores of connections in the field. At the same time, Greg was doing his own research in bioenergetics.
In making the Living Matrix documentary, it was important to put the scientists and researchers out in front of the new science. Massey and Becker wanted viewpoints from all levels of science and research: MDs, PhDs, acupuncturists, osteopaths, heart specialists, biologists, biophysicists, authors, educators, and researchers. They reached across the spectrum, picked up the phone and started promoting their idea for the first documentary to present the evidence-based research for a new understanding of human biology as the basis for shifting the traditional health care system.
How did you find Demitrios, Ariel, and Vanessa and the other stories of recovery in the documentary?
Many people join the alternative health care profession because they struggle with their own illness or injury and make remarkable discoveries after conventional medicine fails. When the film makers interviewed Dr. Marilyn Mandala Schlitz as on of the scientists for the film, they learned of her experience as a youth when she reversed the prognosis of leg amputation by positive thinking. Dr. Edgar Mitchell, former astronaut who founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences, told them during their interview with him that he worked with a healer 3000 miles away to eradicate a kidney abnormality visible on an MRI. These people came at it with a strong belief. But the film makers also wanted to meet people outside the profession who might not have had strong beliefs but who made life changing discoveries.
They were well into making the film when they interviewed Eric Pearl. They knew they wanted a powerful story to open the film, to bring viewers right in emotionally as well as intellectually and professionally. Because typically, when all hope seems lost, the journey to health is an emotional one. Eric told them the story of Demetrius, the boy with cerebral palsy who stood up and walked without braces after one healing. Who came to the next healing with an unclenched fist and delighting in the simple act of holding a glass by himself. When the film makers heard that story, they said, “we have to go to Greece.”
At the Nutri-Energetics conference in San Francisco, Greg and Susan Becker heard Deborah Holt speak on a panel, where she described some of her case studies. They spoke with her later and explained that they were looking for another personal story to include in the film. Deborah told them about Vanessa Stone and her recovery from chronic fatigue. Through Deborah, they were able to talk with Vanessa and arrange to interview her.
Arielle is a well know NLP coach and speaker. In her presentations about practical miracles, she refers to her own dramatic experience with a brain tumor, and how it launched her on a journey of transformation. The film makers and their contacts in Holland knew of Arielle and contacted her to see if she would be interested in being interviewed for the film.
