But if you want to catch the big fish, youve got to go deeper.Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. Theyre huge and abstract. And theyre very beautiful.I look for a certain kind of fish that is important to me, one that can translate to cinema. But there are all kinds of fish swimming down there. There are fish for business, fish for sports. There are fish for everything.Everything, anything that is a thing, comes up from the deepest level. Modern physics calls that level the Unified Field. The more your consciousness-your awareness-is expanded, the deeper you go toward this source, and the bigger the fish you can catch.-from Catching the Big Fish
