💬 QUOTE
“The desire to live life to its fullest, to acquire more knowledge, to abandon the economic treadmill, are all typical reactions to these experiences … The previous fear of death is typically quelled. If the individual generally remains thereafter in the existential state of awareness, the deep internal feeling of eternity is quite profound and unshakable.”
– Edgar Mitchell, an astronaut who's experience of the Overview Effect profoundly changed his perspective on life and existence, inspiring him to explore the deeper connections between all forms of life.
