The hero is a doctor who discovers how to get to the multiverse by
opening individual consciousness to the consciousness of chronic
diseases. The
doctor initiates a "consciousness by consensus" movement: "we are
many". The goal is to cure all disease by having people make
friends
and give
over partial control of their bodies to what would have
been formerly known as their "diseases".
The doctor discovers that diseases are electromagnetic shadows of
people that use viral, fungal and bacterial communities as
substrates.
They mirror human defense systems to gain access to bodies, and
cause pain and death only when they are resisted. The doctor
discovers, on LSD, how to have a consciousness powwow with the
diseases and cede control.
The doctor discovers that every one has an almost infinite number
of
"ghosts" or disease soldiers that ride on the platform of infections
by
viral, fungal, bacterial and other as of yet undiscovered
substrates.
As the movie develops the ghosts gain more and more
individuality,
you can see them more, and more personality.
As the plot develops it turns out that the ghosts are shadows from
other universes in the multiverse and that it is possible to travel
through multiverses by allowing control of consciousness to be
fluid.

On traveling through the multiverse to befriend the shadow plaguing his girlfriend Leslle (in the form of IBS), he finds himself in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The origin of the shadow is one Matt Larsen who turns out to be easy to befriend and actually a great guy. He is horrified to find out he is somehow causing problems for this girl but not at all sure how to stop. |

Someone's been reading too much scientology... |
|
|
This is what happens when one confuses "random" with
"profound" |
|
|
One must wear the LSD glasses to watch this movie. |

I can't remember where but I read a book or saw a
movie where virus' were supposed to be
connected distributed thinking entities. |
|
|
I don't see why going along with them helps
anyone except them. I've never had LSD, but it
sounds like the virus' are multidimensional with
the virus being just the part that intersects our
dimension. I still don't get how they would see us
as anything but virus' and maybe communicating
with them would draw their full interest so they
would kill us off. |

In that theme the doctor may end up like the
scientist on Flash Gordon, who divined the
working of the universe and doomed the planet.
I'll withhold judgement in lieu of understanding
but I can't say this is giving me a good feeling. |

Please no - I hate long poems. |

Well, at least it's not in other:general. |
