"Are we our form?"

Ugh, I feel hungover from seeing people behaving badly.

I'm cheered by this delightful (to me) monologue by the sweetly weird Sam Rockwell, here, below.
It's one story of how enlightenment might . . . sneak up? as one unwittingly wanders (crashes) through a labyrinth, arriving at the question,
Are we our form?

Related—the possibility that what we thought was our greatest flaw is our saving grace; 
or, that great sinners may make great saints (because they have great energy).

I'm feeling kinda lost in the labyrinth this morning, but trusting that's the nature of the game. 
Keep going! Or hold your seat. Take a nap... 
Just don't give up.

From season 3 of The White Lotus (which I haven't watched--I looked up this clip after I heard about it because I've loved Sam Rockwell ever since Galaxy Quest).

The context is that Rockwell's character (appearing only this once) is meeting up with an old drinking buddy visiting Thailand (actor Walton Goggins, the main character), who questions why Rockwell has ordered chamomile tea.
