It seems like nature is giving me more understanding of what "trapped by thought" really means....My roomie and I are in constant discussion over this phenomenon of "trapped by thought". It was he who suggested I watch this movie, and this sunday seemed to be an ideal day for it...
The movie is really profound in its message...makes us challenge our beliefs. It helped me see the phenomenon about which I was thinking about so deeply...Questions a plenty every where in the movie...What is truth? What is illusion? How have we created it... we try to measure everything though our limited capacity of analysis...we identify with the beliefs we create over our life...
The clear message that comes out from the story is this...be ready to have your thoughts challenged...If I believe there is also the other aspect of life...the unexplained...there is....if I try to reason it our and make it a causality phenomenon...it shall be that...but thinking that thought our theory of causality we have understood completely what was to be understood is again an assumption...If this was the way...science...the so called baby of rationality wouldn't have grown to the state it has grown to...this is typically the state at which science was when it was challenged by the church in the medieval period...people like Galileo had to phase tremendous opposition... but finally for science to go ahead the old beliefs and thought alignments - as I would call them had to change...
Even to this day...any new theory in science to be successful has to first be able to explain everything that has already been observed and explained by a generally accepted theory...and go ahead and predict what might occur in future so as to prove the theory...it is only then that such a new theory would be accepted by people...So its just about being ready to challenge the already formed view of what is observed and what we think might be the reason for such an observation...
The film challenges the generally held conceptions at multiple levels...it narrator - John keeps his audience engaged with his story... and makes a profound impact...I will not give the story away....but if you think its time to realize that you are "Trapped by thought" go ahead and see this movie...worth it...
