Hollywood's Ageless Sage Shirley MacLaine Discusses Life

Shirley MacLaine is an accomplished actress and writer and when she sat down to discuss her newest book, Sage-ing While Age-ing, she talked about her life and beliefs. She is an intelligent woman who is not afraid to voice her own thoughts and beliefs and is very happy with her life at the moment. "I'm happy with it," she proclaims. "There's a lot I'd like to improve, but not a lot of that has to do with my life. I'm really happy and content with my life. I'm not happy and content with the news, but I haven't yet turned it off."

Ms. MacLaine is definitely not happy with the state of the world and the fear that terrorism has added to our everyday lives. "I think we're afraid. I think we really are consumed with fear about terrorism, about the future, about our jobs, about where we're going, and you know the old adage, 'Go out and buy yourself a hat if you don't feel well.' I think that's what we're doing, and I think the materialism is an attempt to try to solve our fear about life." She explains that "going within" is what people need to do, rather than to look outwards. "What I'm saying is, go within yourself and that center will be attached to the divine, and whatever it is you're going through there will be a reason for it. But then, you know, I don't believe we die. I think the soul is eternal so, therefore, I'm not afraid of bad; therefore, I'm not afraid of other realities because I'm old enough now to have been through many adventures where my life really was at stake, and I was always protected because I went within and asked for help."
