  • We can easily get bogged down by the complexity of our day to day lives, and it's hard sometimes to focus on the things that actually matter. Brit Marling learned from her research talking with 'near death' survivors for her Netflix original series 'The OA' what is truly the most important thing.

      _One of the most brilliant minds of our time_
      That's a helluva claim. I mean, she comes across as competent and articulate (as well as startlingly attractive), but not especially _Brilliant._ I understand that education in the USA isn't particularly errr... educational. So when the spotlights alight upon someone who's gone through said broken system, yet nevertheless, is able to communicate effectively and expressively via a written medium, or oral... Well, I can understand how an american might think such a person to be _Brilliant." However, these results are what we- in the rest of the developed world- expect of everyone who goes through our education systems.
      The ONLY thing that really sets her apart from the average woman/ man on the streets of a developed nation is that she's creative in ways that they may/ may not be.
      ps: Here's a link to a video where Ms. Marling talks about how she could never have created the show by herself:

    Let’s not focus on brilliance or pretty or smart or dumb or ugly.
    Focus on how this person simply opens their mind to the knowledge of learning anything that she finds interesting and applying it creatively to her life. In this case writing and acting professionally. This is a process every single one of us are capable of.

    When my mom was dying in hospice, I started reading "The TIbetian Book of Living & Dying" for some clarity & suggestions to make it all as meaningful as possible. It book taught me that when a person is near death that they become a Buddah by ultimately becoming one with the universe. They become enlightened at death's door because in the act of knowing & being aware that your life is at its end your mind clears to focus on things that are important. Bearing witness to death becomes a sort of opportunity to not only learn more about what really matters but also get a glimpse into the abyss by being in close proximity to a person in that state.

    You can achieve the same/similar sensation she's describing by taking a psychotropic substance (mushrooms, LSD, mescaline, MDMA, etc.) or by meditation/deep thought . It doesn't take a NDE to realize these things. Just an aside.
