The whole secret of life must somehow exist in the solar image. Momentum is a kind of revelation regarding the sun as the source of life. Not only in our solar system, but wherever there’s a sun it’s the source of life in that part of the universe. We come from it and return to it. Though we think of the sun as a gigantic thing, I think probably an atom itself is a small sun – in fact our sun is probably an atom in a larger structure. It’s somehow tied up with the essence of being. If you were to think of a single form that would be the primary structure of the universe it would just have to be the solar sphere. I mean there’s so much evidence around us to that effect. (Jordan Belson, quoted in Expanded Cinema)
