Film "I origins" when the eyes are the reflection of the soul.
Hello friends yesterday before sleep were happening on TV "I origins" the film poses a drama with an interesting fictitious component, but it is surprisingly credible.
Science and spirituality are intermingled in the tape; something that seems very difficult to consolidate, but that conjugates quite correctly. The plot is configured as a kind of matrioshka, but with a common thread: the eyes. At first, we know the scientist Ian Gray who is trying to carry out an investigation that will finally demystify spirituality; from here, one plot will take us to another to finally explain why "the eyes are the mirror of the soul".
The eyes as a starting point
Obsessed with the eyes, Ian Gray pretends to find an origin, a point of departure to the evolution of the eye that shows, at last, with proofs, that faith no longer has a place in our society. Ian is obsessed with science, with evidence and data; but, to his surprise, he will find love in a rather atypical young woman: Sofi, a foreign girl who possesses a strong spirituality that contrasts sharply with Ian's skepticism.
Origins delves into one of the most debated issues throughout history: science vs. science religion. He immerses himself in various beliefs and provides a response to reincarnation. The eyes will be the starting point and, in turn, the discovery that will make Ian question everything he knows, everything he has studied. The film, however, sometimes sins of too surrealistic dialogues, little credible in a normal conversation of couple, although taking into account the nature of Sofi, they are not implausible either.
Perhaps we are facing a film that is too predictable, that wants to cover a lot and, sometimes, stays on the surface. It may not reach in the hearts of the most skeptical, but, without a doubt, it has a good approach, a good development and manages to get the plot to wrap around us, trapping. Can reincarnation exist? What if our eyes were nothing more than the imprint of other past lives, of other souls that, once, held the same look?
Chance, chance and Origins
For Ian, there is nothing that science can not explain, there is no spiritual world, everything passes through science, through observations and demonstrations that we can extract from the world around us. Chance and chance do not enter into his conception of the world, but all this changes when he meets Sofi, a young woman whom he meets by chance, of whom he barely knows anything and who has not even seen his face.
Ian and Sofi coincide in a Halloween party, a night closely linked to the spiritual, to the souls. She goes in disguise and can only see his eyes, unrepeatable and fascinating eyes that Ian can not forget. After losing the track, Ian will look for Sofi and a series of coincidences will take her to her. Suddenly, Ian will start to see that the number 11 appears repeatedly and, following this number, he will find Sofi.
Why the 11? Although in the film the number appears in a totally casual and inexplicable in the life of Ian, we can think that it has not been chosen at random, because the number 11 is traditionally linked to the spiritual life. The 11 is twice 1, the sum of its digits gives us 2, which makes us think of duality, in two planes, two worlds; in turn, it surpasses the number 10, linked to perfection, but also to the material world, so that the 11 would take us to a plane beyond, to the spiritual.

Mysticism and science
The Pythagoreans saw in nature certain numerical correspondence, reason gave access to nature, to true knowledge and this, in turn, was linked to mathematics, to numbers.
For them, everything came from the one, this would be the fundamental principle from which other things came, the apeirón. The 1 is linked to a certain divine nature and, from here, the others will emerge. The whole would be expressed by the 10, so that the 11 would be linked to a plane beyond the earthly.
In addition, the Pythagoreans possessed a certain mystical vision of the world, we must not forget that more than a school they were an association of a secret and religious nature. For the Pythagoreans there existed a transmigration of the souls, that is, the soul was on a divine plane, it did not belong to the earthly; the soul inhabited the body and, after its death, it would occupy a new body and would do so as many times as necessary until it reached liberation.
To achieve this purification or liberation of the soul, they had to follow certain rules of behavior, among which vegetarianism stands out, something strongly linked to reincarnation and that occurs in other religions such as Buddhism. In Origen, Sofi does not seem to belong to any particular religious current, but believes in reincarnation and feels deeply attached to certain beliefs from India.
In this way, we see that Origen not only coincides with the Pythagoreans in the mystical number 11, but also with the assertions about reincarnation. Sofi also agrees with the Pythagoreans in vegetarianism, something that will allow him to question scientific experiments, to question the extent to which it is ethical to experiment with animals, to torture worms, as in the case of Ian, either to prove that a theory is true or simple human selfishness.
Currently, we do not hesitate to link Pythagoras and his disciples with mathematics, with geometry, in short, with a rational and scientific knowledge. However, by deepening his philosophy, we realize the importance of the religious component. In Origins, spirituality and science merge, mix and invite us to reflect on the world around us.
Duality
to perceive something that is before us and that We simply do not know why we do not have the capacity to access it?
Plato explained to us that there were two worlds, that there was a world that escaped our senses, but that was there; that world was the one that gave us access to the truth, the one that liberated our souls.
Sofi poses an interesting question to Ian: he is experimenting with worms that only have two senses. But what would happen if we, like those worms lack sight, have no other sense that prevents us from seeing beyond?
The worms that Ian experiences can not see, therefore, they do not know what light is, what colors are, how can we be sure that we do not lack another sense one that allows us
The men that Plato described in his allegory of the cave clung like Ian to his sensible reality, to those shadows that they took as real for being what they could observe; however, they were leaving aside a real world to which, having no access, they rejected, without questioning whether it was real or not. And it seems that everything that is unknown or inexplicable scares, we want to cling to what we see, what comes through our senses.
Origen plays with what we consider rational, with the limits of our own knowledge and tries to propose a reality that could be before our eyes and that, simply, we can not perceive. The film is developing a storyline to finally repeat and exemplify a metaphor that we have heard a lot throughout history: "the eyes are the mirror of the soul."
