there's a way of being one with the universe, which most people limit to defining with the word 'intuition' but it's more than that. it's an acceptance that all that happens, is the universe, or the supreme god's will but still carrying out your duties regardless of that knowledge and remaining true to your soul. to the universe, or the lord, such a person is dearly beloved and exceedingly valuable. it is to these people that they open up and guide. once the soul learns the balance between the predestined and one's karma, as well as their importance, it becomes one with god and attains a state of ananda or pure bliss, wherein the soul has no reason to fret and remains in a permanent state of joy. it is in this state that the soul finally attains moksha, or liberation, for it finally learns to accept the final truth.
fear of acceptance for this final truth comes from desire for materialistic and impermanent things, and in desire the soul is quick to lose it's path. it is only desire for the universe or the supreme lord, achyuta, that the soul remains untouched by sin just as a lotus leaf remains untouched by water. however, acceptance of the fact that things are predetermined to an extent is extremely hard because the soul is blinded by what it desires, and maya, or illusion further clouds the soul's eyes and renders its divinity useless. it is only love for the universe, or the supreme lord, and their love back for us that one can hope to be guided out of sin and illusion under the guidance of their radiant light.

The gelatin in film stock was made from the hide, bones, cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissue of calves (considered the very best), sheep (less desirable), and other animals who passed through the slaughterhouse. Six kilograms of bone went into a single kilogram of gelatin. Eventually, the demands of photographic industries generated so much need for animal byproducts that slaughterhouses became integrated into the photographic production chain. Controlling the supply chain became key to Kodak's success. In 1882, as Kodak began to grow as a company, widespread complaints of fogged and darkened plates stopped production. The crisis almost ruined Kodak financially and resulted in the company tightly monitoring the animal by-products used in gelatin. Decades later, a Kodak emulsion scientist discovered that cattle who consumed mustard seed metabolized a sulfuric substance, enhancing the light sensitivity of silver halides and enabling better film speeds. The poor-quality gelatin in 1882 was due to the lack of mustard seeds in the cows' diet. The head of research at Kodak, Dr. C. E. Kenneth Mees, concluded, "If cows didn't like mustard there wouldn't be any movies at all." By controlling the diet of cows who were used to make gelatin, Kodak ensured the quality of its film stock. As literary scholar Nicole Shukin reflects, there is a "transfer of life from animal body to technological media." The image comes alive through animal death, carried along by the work of ranchers, meatpackers, and Kodak production workers.

At his most direct, Lynch explained that, when he is directing, ninety percent of the time he doesn’t know, intellectually, what he is doing. However, there is nothing uncertain in him about the powerful rightness of his artistic choices. His insistence on letting things happen to him while he works is part of his faith that film is a place where reality enters when something other than willfully applied reason does the talking.
Martha Nochimson, The Passion of David Lynch
