Dr. Emoto's water crystals

Have you seen the Dr. Emoto water crystal experiment? If you've never seen this - please google it as soon as you have a minute! Absolutely fantastic science experiment. Or click here - http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm

Water crystals form in different ways, structurally, as they freeze. Sort of like no two snowflakes being exactly the same. Dr. Emoto's experiments found that the energy around the crystal affected its formation. He tried all kinds of inputs as a water crystal was slowly frozen - music, written words, prayer, etc. The results were amazing and make sense. Loving thoughts, music and prayer produced by far the most beautiful and elegant crystals - while hateful thoughts music and words produced somewhat deranged looking crystals.

The experiment is an example of ever present energy affecting other things. If a water crystal forms in a deranged way because of energy around it - doesn't this indicate that children do too? I think we all agree that it's easy to see the correlation with how to raise a baby.

But what about society? What do you think the effect on society is when we stick them in a room for two hours (sometimes 85 mins.) and show them horrible acts of violence mixed with awful dialogue and disturbing music?

When I say raise your energy to a higher level, I'm talking about in everything you do. And no, I'm not telling people what they can and can't watch or listen to - we all have free choice.

But if people make an effort to think about their energy inputs and maybe to filter out some of the noise and replace it with something that touches the heart... that's a good start. If people here go even further and make a real effort to emit kindness, compassion, a bit of understanding, forgiveness, and live their life in a way that becomes beautiful music - the world will be a better place.

Can we make more films of this nature?

The Big Bang in some ways is the prerunner for something that goes much deeper on this issue. Jim's Life is most certainly about consciously working on the energy that we emit, as well as the energy that we allow to surround us.

I hope it speaks to your heart while also being good entertainment.

Another good film to see is What The Bleep Do We Know. and this site also has info on the crystals.

Theta Healing

I didn't know about Theta Healing when I first wrote The Big Bang; Notes From Looking Within. It just seemed like a good choice to name that planet at the time.
Later, when I met my wife, Jana, she informed me about Theta Healing since that is something she does. I must admit it felt a little cool knowing this choice was so appropriate. I mean, surely none of the other planets in the novel should be called Theta but Theta 7. And clearly, these people are not just guides of the universe, they are also healers.
We'll learn a lot more about Theta Healing in the sequel, Jim's Life. I just wish I could write novels faster.
Hmmm... what would the Thetans say?

Carl Sagan describes Webster Adams perfectly.

In Carl Sagan's The Varieties of Scientific Experience, he talks much on the philosophy of God. It is beyond customary, almost mandatory to assume that God is an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-everything type of entity. Well, if truth is stranger than fiction then maybe thats not the case. Mr. Sagan writes this on pages 148-149;

"...Suppose somehow that it were demonstrated that there was a being that originated the universe but is indifferent to prayer... Or worse, a god who was oblivious to the existence of humans. That's very much like Aristotle's god. Would that be God or not? Suppose it were someone who was omnipotent but not omniscient, or vice versa. Suppose this god understood all the consequences of his actions but there were many things he was unable to do, so he was condemned to a universe in which his desired ends could not be accomplished. These alternative kinds of gods are hardly ever thought about or discussed. A priori there is no reason they should not be as likely as the more conventional sorts of gods."

Maybe his next line could have been... "Suppose this God himself didn't know if he believed in God, and was in search much like we are."Can you imagine that? God not sure if he believes in God? What a great concept for a book.

Mr. Sagan's description above very much embodies the role of Webster Adams. I wish we could have had a conversation about this, about my ideas for the book. I have a feeling Mr. Sagan would have made some amazing suggestions to make it even better.

Thanks for helping me think about the infinte, Carl. Your book, Contact, really got my mind working on new ideas.

About Me

Hi there. I'm Jason Matthews, and I'd love to tell you a little about myself and these stories.
Without going into too much detail, as a kid I grew up having story ideas that felt fun and important to share. When I went off to college and had to figure out what I wanted to do, I studied television and film at the University of North Carolina and then moved to Los Angeles in 1991. During that time the idea for The Big Bang came to me.
Like many of us, I often had occasional wonderings of the meaning of life and our place in the universe. I struggled with concepts of both religion and science, trying to figure out what I believed and where the two fields might share a common ground. Eventually I got stuck on this idea of a science experiment, where the creative process produces a universe that is separate to our own. Then the questions began - What if you could study a universe and search throughout it for planets with life? What might you find with a universe at your fingertips? The more I thought of it... the more ideas came to me. In little time the idea was conceived and The Big Bang (originally titled The Universe Generator) was born.
Two screenplays, one novel, and over a decade later, The Big Bang was self-published. I finally considered myself a writer and not just an "ideas person".
The sequel, Jim's Life, is still in the works. This story also deals with the same thought process - What is it all about and what clues exist for us to see everyday?
I've also written Minor Extremes, a fun yet thoughtful ski story about a boy becoming a man and promoting extreme skiing as a spectator sport.
I have other stories as well, but one goal remains the same. How can this story help myself or someone else connect to the higher consciousness?
My motivation is to continue the discussion of "what it's all about" and living to our potential. It has always been my dream to produce books and movies that stimulate the mind and the soul, and it's clear that Hollywood needs far more soulful projects to bring into the eyes and ears of mainstream society.
So that's a little about me and my stories. Thanks so much for listening.

Sierra Sun Article about The Big Bang

The Big Bang is a novel idea


Truckee resident Jason Matthews’ novel is in 500 book stores across America

Jason Matthews’ universe took 10 years to create. His planets — Alpha, Delta, Theta and Omega — materialized in an instant, but their inhabitants — the master-race marsupials, the giant pigs and the gnomes — took much longer to evolve.

Matthews is proud of his creation. And others who have witnessed its uniqueness maintain that its existence is thought-provoking and imaginative.

“The Big Bang” hit shelves in October, and has already made it from the hands of its Truckee author to more than 500 book sellers across America. And here in town it is quite the philosophic conversation starter.

“I really want people to recognize that we are all part of the whole, and to ask themselves why their life events and experiences happened,” Matthews said. “I hope that in some way my book helps the world open more to spirituality and to seeking enlightenment.”

Matthews delves into the big-picture unanswerable questions of intelligent design, freewill, spiritual development and reincarnation in The Big Bang, his first novel, in which an inventor and a carpenter create a miniature self-contained universe. The astonishing events and remarkable societies that evolve cause the characters to question and re-consider all that they have ever believed about evolution, humanity, and spirituality.

“I think that we all question the meaning of life and why we are here,” said Matthews. “I don’t think it’s hard to imagine that the answers may be more simple than they appear.”

Catch Matthews in a coffee shop and he’ll talk at length about those personal beliefs, and the views that sculpted his book’s plot and characters. His speech is eloquent and well described; his writing is quick, concise, and entertaining, the type that appeals to the thoughtful masses.

“Jason is engaged and in touch with humanity,” said Bookshelf at Hooligan Rocks manager Lydia Sparksworthy. “He’s not too smart, or too funny, or too sarcastic, and that shows in his book. I enjoyed how nice of a mix it was.

“It’s all over the place in that it’s spiritual; it’s scientific; it has nice characters. There is a lot going on.”

At 38, Matthews is just now wrapping his fingers and mind around a purpose and goal he has long sought. A graduate of the University of Carolina at Chapel Hill, Matthews received his degree in radio, television, and film, but gave up on writing screenplays after a single year in Hollywood.

“I just couldn’t stand the scene,” he said.

So he moved to Truckee, where he “became a ski bum” and spent the last 15 years painting houses, still dabbling with writing and the idea of producing his ideas.

“I was having a lot of fun, but I was feeling like I was abandoning my story,” Matthews said. “I was not fulfilled, but I didn’t know how to get a screenplay made to a movie.”

In 1991 Matthews kicked himself into gear and decided to turn his already-written screenplay “The Universe Generator” into an easier-to-sell novel.

“There was a lot of down time because I had to make a living as a house painter. Then there would be very productive days or months where I would get a lot done,” he said. “But even if you can only get out one page a day, after a year, you’ve got something that feels substantial.”

And what feels substantial now is the amount of positive praise and feedback that Matthews is receiving from his readers.

“I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they just blasted right through it,” he said. “When I hear the reviews I just jump up and down and my heart just pitter-patters.”

So far, neither Matthews or the staff at Bookshelf at Hooligan Rocks , the local store carrying his novel, have received any negative feedback on the book.

“I think that the book asks a lot of questions and offers a different outlook on life,” said Matthews’ writing assistant Sarah Poynter, who acted as Matthews’ sounding board for new ideas and clarification for more than two years. “And I think that’s the reason it's fun because it is imaginative.”

Matthews is already working on a sequel to The Big Bang and said he hopes to soon retire as a house painter and begin a new chapter of life as a full-time writer.
