Something Unknown Is Doing We Don’t Know What... is a fascinating f
ilm about the science behind psychic phenomena by director Renee Scheltema.
I watched it over the weekend and truly enjoyed it.
To be honest though, I’m already a believer in psychic phenomena since I am a clairvoyant and intuitive by nature, so for me the film was preaching to the choir.
For anyone not familiar with clairvoyance – it’s also been called remote viewing and it’s the ability to “see” with the mind’s eye things at a distance, places, people and objects, one has never viewed or visited physically.In Scheltema’s film it’s defined as: direct knowledge of the physical world.
It covered 5 areas of psychic phenomena that have been researched pretty extensively; telepathy (mind to mind communication), clairvoyance, precognition (knowledge of future events), psychokinesis (mind over matter), and psychic healing (transfer of energy from the healer).
One of the things I found most fascinating was an experiment that showed our bodies respond to future events before we are consciously are aware of what’s going to happen.One experiment was to place people in front of monitors that showed a series of random photos. Some were tranquil scenes and others were more evocative depicting violence or upsetting conditions. Special lenses photographed the pupils of each participant as they viewed the scenes. Amazingly enough their pupils dilated seconds before they viewed the emotionally disturbing scenes on the monitor. Their bodies were reacting before they could possibly have known what was going to appear on the screen. It reminded me of how animals fled to the hills in Thailand before the tsunami hit.
Another experiment I mentioned in an earlier post: Could Your Thoughts Create an Earthquake? was covered in the film. This experiment is ongoing and called the Global Consciousness Project. Random number generators placed all over the world measure large group events. Large events such as the tsunami, or 9/11 influence these random number generators and cause them to veer off course. Normally they’re generating numbers in wandering variability patterns but when these large scale events occur the variability minimizes and the pattern looks very different. In other words it’s no longer random. These number generators have been in place for quite a few years so the randomness is well documented. What this means is that we humans are connected to one another and our emotional response to these massive events changes the conscious field on the planet and significantly affects these random number patterns. Huge spikes were noted around events that evoked compassion and deep feelings of connectedness on these days.
In another experiment on telepathy to see if two people in a close relationship can receive information from mind to mind took couples and placed one of them in an MRI machine that scanned the brain and had the sender sit in front of monitor that generated various flashing lights. The receiver’s brain resonance showed that when the flashing lights were viewed by their partners their brains showed significant activity in their visual cortex. How was their brain reacting to something their partner saw unless there’s some form of mind to mind communication going on? This certainly seems like proof positive to me.
Another part of the film covered remote viewing and I was delighted to learn that some people are professional remote viewers. This was highly encouraging news to me as I often say to my friends what good does it do if I can “see” the inside of your house or cities I’ve never been too? Well, my question was answered in the film. A group of remote viewers got together and tried to find Saddam Hussein when he was in hiding during the Iraq war. They saw that he was near Tekrit and that he was in an underground chamber and described the house that sat on top of the chamber. I found this part of the film really fascinating. Other remote viewers are using their abilities to find ancient cities in a new area of parapsychology called psychic archaeology.
The only part of the film I really didn’t enjoy was the sections dealing with mind over matter. I’ve never been too interested in bending spoons. I do believe we can affect matter, but I wish it could have been illustrated with more scientific data or other experiments other than spoon bending. Perhaps there is no other data? I don’t know, but unfortunately this is the only part of the film I lost interest in.
Other than spoon bending section I did enjoy the film. I also learned a few things I didn’t know. It was also good to know that can science validate some of my own abilities.
If you get a chance to see the film I’d recommend it. It’s 104 minutes and for the most part very informative and entertaining. I only gave you a few tidbits of what fascinated me, but there were many other things too. By the way, if you watch the film you’ll also learn where the strange title came from….check it out.
If any of you watch the film let me know how you liked it.

Thanks for letting us know Sean.
Hi Angela,
Thanks for the review of the film.
It really seems like we are just in the beginning stages of understanding these areas. I wonder how much more humans will know about these subjects 50, 100, or 200 years from now. I imagine what is considered off-beat now will probably be quite normal then.
Hi Greg,
I’m glad you enjoyed the film review. I plan to watch the film again this weekend. There’s really so much more to it than I was able to cover here.
I totally agree with you. The “off-beat” will be considered quite normal in the future. If you read Rosemarie’s comment she pointed out that the CIA was using psychics (what they called Remote Viewers) to locate Russian military operations during the Cold War. So, somebody high up does know that this is real.
This film sounds like something worth the time investment. It reminds me of the books by Ingo Swann. He was recruited by the CIA to experiment with remote viewing back in the 70s. So while govt and science may wish to discredit psychic phenomenon, the truth is that law enforcement and intelligence agencies have been using it for decades.
Rosemarie, I bought the film, so anytime you want to see it let me know. Ingo Swann was mentioned several times in the film as were the Stargate projects on Remote Viewing.
And, you’re right about science discrediting remote viewing when it was used and very accurately too!
It sounds like a great & informative film! I plan on seeing it. I did check the screening page and it looks like I missed the screenings. I did see the option to order it.
It gave me chills just reading your review.
Hi Aileen, it was very informative. I loved learning about all the experiments. I hope you do see it. I bought a copy. Maybe I should have a little screening party? Where are you located?
Angela, this is fascinating. The idea that “we humans are connected to one another and our emotional response to these massive events changes the conscious field on the planet” is remarkable. My husband does believe that collective consciousness can jinx a hockey game. And I’m not kidding. He truly believes this. I wonder if a jinx is part of this phenomenon. Very interesting post.
Hi Katie,
Yes, it is fascinating isn’t it? It just goes to show that when we feel someone is giving off negative energy – they really are! I agree with your husband. If the fans believe that their team is going to lose – I’m sure that affects the players.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, this really does sound interesting. Is this a new release? I just looked for it on Netflix but didn’t find it there. I’ll try and track it down because I love this type of film.
I’ve been hearing more and more about remote viewing lately, and there are quite a few folks out there giving workshops to help people recognize/develop this ability. I’m totally in favor of people developing their psychic gifts, but I sure hope no one views the inside of my house on the day before cleaning day 🙂
Hi Jean,
Yes, it was. I’d see if you can get a copy. You can go to the website and buy a copy. I put the link in the post.
I’ve been a clairvoyant all my life (remote viewer). One time when I gave a reading to a lady she said not to look at the inside because it was messy.
I told her it wasn’t so bad – just a lot of clutter on her kitchen counters and her kid’s toys around the living room – she freaked out.
But, when I told her the grass needed to be cut as it appeared to be two feet high she nearly fell over! She said she and her husband hadn’t bought a mower yet and that the grass was two feet high!
Don’t worry, I promise not to look inside your house!
This sounds very reminiscent of a book I read a few years ago called, “The Field” by Lynn McTaggart (maybe it’s the film version? ;)). You might enjoy it, Angela, if you haven’t read it already. Really leaves you with a lot to think about, and it covers some of the very things you’ve mentioned here … and more.
Hi Carla, I’ve been meaning to pick up a copy of The Field. I put it off because I have stacks of books I haven’t read yet! (And I keep on buying more too)
This is an original film by Renee Scheltema not related to Lynn McTaggart’s book. The scientists in the film do discuss the morphogenic field though. She probably interviewed some of the same scientists.
It does give you a lot to think about and helps us understand how psychic abilities work. Now, if I could just get someone to make a film about the science behind communicating with me the other side!
Thanks so much for your comment.
