As is pretty evident Wyatt's journey is about freedom and his attainment. As I was watching the movie I came across "If 6 was 9" by Hendrix. This sort of reminded me of Hendrix's “Are You Experienced” which made me interpret it in a different manner. Especially the following lines:
“ If you can just get your mind together
Then come on across to me
We’ll hold hands and then we’ll watch the sunrise
From the bottom of the sea”
By coming across and then going to the spot that Jimi Hendrix is at does he mean overcoming the barrier which separates any ordinary individual and a person who has gained total consciousness of himself and has been able to reconnect with himself? He mentions that peace of mind, represented here by watching the sunrise which can only be once found once the person has gained total awareness and has been able to have that surreal experience. He mentions that once the person has been “experienced” or in other words has had a sort of spiritual awakening , which is symbolized by the line “from the bottom of the sea” he can finally be at peace with himself as he has succeeded in his self-discovery. Is this interpretation a bit too outlandish? Any takers?
