Willow and Jaden Smith, children of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, aged 14 and 16, have actually lost their damn minds. They teamed up for a new interview with The New York Times’ T Magazine that will make every synapse in your brain misfire with its sheer insanity. I can’t even tell you what they talk about in the interview because none of it means anything. I suppose, in essence, they’re discussing life, time, the spiritual world… but even then, that’s a stretch. Without further ado, I’ll just share some excerpts: I’m curious about your experience of time. Do you feel like life is moving really quickly? Is your music one way to sort of turn it over and reflect on it? WILLOW: I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that’s how I know it doesn’t exist. JADEN: It’s proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It’s relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it’s also such a thing that you can get lost in. WILLOW: Because living. JADEN: Right, because you have to live. There’s a theoretical physicist inside all of our minds, and you can talk and talk, but it’s living. WILLOW: It’s the action of it. JADEN: Exactly. Because your mind has a duality to it. So when one thought goes into your mind, it’s not just one thought, it has to bounce off both hemispheres of the brain. When you’re thinking about something happy, you’re thinking about something sad. When you think about an apple, you also think about the opposite of an apple. It’s a tool for understanding mathematics and things with two separate realities. But for creativity: That comes from a place of oneness. That’s not a duality consciousness. And you can’t listen to your mind in those times — it’ll tell you what you think and also what other people think. I… you… it’s… what? I don’t understand! Maybe that’s the problem, though. I mean, THEY seem to understand. They even have thoughts on babies! WILLOW: Breathing is meditation; life is a meditation. You have to breathe in order to live, so breathing is how you get in touch with the sacred space of your heart. JADEN: When babies are born, their soft spots bump: It has, like, a heartbeat in it. That’s because energy is coming through their body, up and down. WILLOW: Prana energy. JADEN: It’s prana energy because they still breathe through their stomach. They remember. Babies remember. WILLOW: When they’re in the stomach, they’re so aware, putting all their bones together, putting all their ligaments together. But they’re shocked by this harsh world. JADEN: By the chemicals and things, and then slowly… WILLOW: As they grow up, they start losing. JADEN: You know, they become just like us. Welp, I’m out of here. I officially don’t know what in the hell is going on anymore. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
