"We’d be right in assuming that the self is an actual living thing. But it’s not. It’s a projection which our clever brains create in order to cheat ourselves from the reality of death. But there is something that can give the self ultimate and intimate connection. And that thing is oneness; our essence." ~Thandie Newton
“For start we can think about all the times when we do lose ourselves. It happens when I dance, when I’m acting. I’m earthed in my essence and my self is suspended. In those moments I’m connected to everything; the ground, the air, the sounds, the energy from the audience. All of my senses are alert and alive.” ~ Thandie Newton
"So here’s a note to self. The cracks have started to show in our constructed world. And oceans will continue to surge through the cracks and oil and blood. Rivers of it. Crucially we haven’t been figuring out how to live in oneness with the Earth and every other living thing. We have just been insanely trying to figure out how to live with each other; billions of each other. Only we’re not living with each other. Only our crazy selves our living with each other and perpetuating an epidemic of disconnection.” ~ Thandie Newton
"If we can get under that heavy self, light a torch of awareness and find our essence, our connection to the infinite and every other living thing…Let’s not be freaked out by our bounty of nothingness." ~Thandie Newton
