LUCY...and the connections I made in my mind...

So we went to catch Lucy last weekend...the trailer looked interesting, and we were all anticipation...but what struck us most about it was that it transcended its own premise of being quite the thriller, and opened up infinite possibilities of philosophical thought...how when, indeed if, we put our brains to full use, we become so intricately connected with all the aspects of our surroundings, that we are everywhere and nowhere all at once...our scope becomes so vast and limitless that we cannot be contained within the contraints of one body, within the temporal and spatial restrictions that would impose on us...that we are able to look at things from such an immense height of enlightened understanding, we begin to fully comprehend the bigger picture, and thereby control our emotions, by placing them against the grand tapestry of life...we become infinite and hence eternal...that which knows no bounds can never die, and never exist either...we become one with the world, and this both defines, ehances and yet weakens and undermines our individual identities...our idiosyncracies bow in the presence of the moods of the universe...we are liberated by this intricate and universal connection...how well Tagore had captured it, I couldn't stop myself from thinking as I left Golden Village, (the movie theatre), as the song which kept repeating in my head was "Tomaro ashimey prano mon loye..." My interpretation of this song is that for Tagore, the idea of God is embedded in this realm of the infinite, this heightened perspective which helps us moderate our many emotions and feelings in the light of the bigger picture, which is the vast and infinite universe...so, in the end, my conclusion is that the full use of our brain capacity has been predicted by the brilliant Romantic poet, William Blake, eons ago: “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” ― William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
