"Imagine what kind of existence we can have if we honor inevitable death of self, appreciate the privilege of life, and marvel at what comes next. Simple awareness is where it begins." Thandie Newton
English Actress, Thandie Newton, talks about the theme otherness and the notion of self. In this talk, Thandie suggests that when you realize and really understand that your self is a projection and has a function, a funny thing will happen. You will stop giving it so much authority. You will begin to respect your self as its function. Overtime, and with practice, You will begin to live more and more for your essence, or otherness. She believes that if you can do that, incredible things will happen.
Her words are incredibly insightful and I encourage you to take the time (12 minutes) to listen to her words. Make a nice cup of tea, turn off the tv, radio, or anything that will distract you, sit back and just listen :)
