Becoming what we fear.

In order to understand our relationship with this world, we must put our point of view to sleep. We must see ourselves from the outside. Not just outside of our bodies but outside of our minds. This outer perspective cannot be a familiar feeling. If we attempt to try this, we must realize that it has to feel out of place. It has to feel unwelcoming. If not, we aren't there yet. We aren't seeing things from an absolute side. We can only do that if we have pushed ourselves to the point that we are unsure if we can even identify ourselves any longer. We must become strangers in order to see the truth, to see things from a stranger's point of view. We must become the unknown. We must become what we fear.
