I Think I Might Be Noah...

My favorite movie right now is The Fountain. There is an element of that movie that has me completely rapt. In my gut kind of grip that says, "look at this, this is important!" It is the spaceship.

I'm fascinated by it. It's a spaceship that holds The Tree of Life. All Life. Like the archetypal ark.
The portion of The Fountain in which there is a spaceship I regard as metaphor for the evolution of one's individual soul, resolving the struggle of itself as an individual, wanting, and not an individual, but a cosmic whole. In this scenario, the spaceship contains all life. It is a sphere that is completely self sustaining.

The Fountain, as well as it's spaceship, has me transfixed. A few days ago I became obsessed with this little dohinky:

"The Original EcoSphere is the world's first totally enclosed ecosystem - a complete, self-contained and self-sustaining miniature world encased in glass."

Maybe it's because this little sphere was created by NASA and sent into space, but I always see this in my mind's eye every time I see that spaceship. There are obvious parallels with the Earth, yada yada, but The Fountain is not a movie about the survival of the Earth. It's about Love. It's a Love story. Maybe even survival of or from Love. Love as catalyst for perpetual evolution. Love as the cycle of life and death for which we know no other game.

This EcoSphere, in my own psyche, is a Love story. In some spiritual traditions, the same Love that can be felt for another, one other, doesn't need to be so pin pointed. And neither the lover so transfixed. It can be distributed through out all of Life as well. Same Love, just spread far and wide. I offer that as one explanation for the pure, delicious mystery that is The Fountain.

Like my therapist says, "I can validate you all day long, but what's the point of believing this!?" Practically speaking... I don't know yet... I'll get back to you...
