Suppose, just as a thought experiment… that there are not any ‘others’ at all. That, fundamentally, way down inside everything and everyone… there’s a unified being. And the only way to become confused about this… is to defect from it, intentionally, and/or… habitually. We’re told to think of self and other. Us and them. Black and white. Do or don’t. But the only thing that’s much like that… is the language we use and the purposes involved in so doing.

If you like the experiment, try it out. In the world of daily experience. Go to the world as if it’s your own body, and you are its own body and… there’s only one body, really.

Other terrains are accessible from there, but try it out…
