This whole movie is about 2 things: 1) The Higher Dimension living above ours, and 2) Evolution
1) The Higher Dimension: Alton was born in our dimension, but really belonged in the dimension above our own. This could also be called a parallel universe. It wasn't a mistake that Alton was born here. He was meant to be a connector between the two worlds and had to go through all the things he did to fulfill that purpose. The structure we see at the end of the film exists in the dimension above ours. It's always there, but hidden from view. We saw it for a brief moment when the energy was released. We have learned by studying Quantum Physics that nothing is solid. One of the things the higher dimension does is guide us on a daily basis. Some people believe in Angels. It is very possible that our angels and guides reside in this higher dimension. There are other purposes for this dimension as well, things that happen there, too, that we may never know. The beings who live there are light beings. And, one of the reasons that some of us here on this plain of existence, some of us that are filled with light, have a certain knowing, sometimes called intuition, is because we are unconsciously connected to higher dimensions just like this one. We may not always understand the guidance we receive, but we intuitively trust it. Our dimension is changing and evolving to help us become more light beings like the one above us. It is important not to resist the change we are experiencing. This is one reason practices like meditation are so important.
2) Evolution: As our world changes, it may be difficult, even painful, but it is usually only painful when we resist. If we can learn to quiet our minds and remain more open, the guidance we receive from this higher dimension will help us to evolve. Sometimes certain individuals (like Gandhi, Buddha & Jesus) come along to act as connectors to these higher dimensions. I believe that Alton was one of these individuals. But, because he was needed elsewhere and was not meant to be a martyr here on earth, he was instructed as to how to find the location needed for him to ascend to the higher plain. Remember, the night his mother told his father to be prepared for the possibility that Alton may not be coming back. This was her intuition. She had that special knowing. Both of Alton's parents had the gift of higher understanding. That's one reason that Roy, Alton's father, knew that his son wasn't dying and that he needed to get him to a certain location by a certain time. Alton becomes reborn by the sun (the light that gives life to everything on our planet) and helps him evolve into a light being.
Additional notes: As there is less of a division between science and spirituality we are coming to learn that what we touch and see is not solid. It creates more questions for us to answer. A lot of people who are asking the questions are guided by this higher dimension. Not everyone hears or believes what science is telling us. It is always an individual choice.
At the end of the film, Alton's mother cuts her braids. This act is her severing her ties to the farm and other worldly (earthly) ties that bind to close ones mind to the truth. She is now free to spend the rest of her life being guided by the higher dimension in the knowing that mankind is evolving, and that everything that happens has a purpose. She now understands and has seen humanity's first glimpse into how expansive the Universe actually is.
The true meaning of Faith is to trust the knowing within us and allow it to guide us to places that others (who need data proof) would not go. There is more to life than analysis. We have feelings for a reason. Alton and his parents (including Lucas) understood this; as did Sevier, on some level. As humanity continues to evolve, more and more of us will come to know this truth. The higher dimension insures it!
