its more like something each person pulls from the body of work from their own personal view point. What do you guys thinks of that thought?

I think very abstract themes are made naturally in congruence with the author's attitudes, viewpoints, and what their main focus is at the moment. Unintentionally, they make an imprint of sorts on the story that only they can (Original Fiction thread kinda got me to thinking about this). That's a more personal kind of theme. It like a connection between author and reader.
Or, the reader could interpret it in a certain way to mean something particular to themselves, like you said. That isn't always in line with the story's intent though. People can interpret a work to mean something far removed from anything the author had thought of or wanted.
