Watched this again recently and luckily found it mixed with Boards of Canada-- one of my favorite bands.
I love the exploration in this movie of the mathmatical patterns in nature and the universe itself. Like it feels good that there really is order. Science seems like it's proving there is an intellegent design-- purpose, order.
I feel fascinated with people who search for answers and order and patterns that are similiar in micro and macro levels.
Makes me think of this book-- a young adult sci-fi book at that, that made me feel that size is irrelevant- that universal inbalances affect micro balance. I feel it more than I can describe it. The book was 'A wind in the door' by Madeline L'Engle who wrote 'A wrinkle in time'. The little boy's mitochondria was suffering in deadly disharmony while there was a universal imbalance and disharmany.
When I was a kid and read this, I would feel this excitement that (to me at the time)- the cells in our bodies seemed a little like planets, solar systems, galaxies -- and maybe I was living inside the cell of what I could consider the body of my god (or something to that effect). I liked that idea-- made me feel connected to the tiniest pieces in my cells and body-- and connected to a larger and greater being.
I felt like I had a purpose-- to try to be healthy and in harmony as much as I can. I have totally fallen short of accomplishing that-- being more of a chaotic and unhealthy 'force' than healthy. But at least I know for myself my part can be helpful rather than harmful-- I have a goal and feel a purpose once I get my head out of my ass.
