“The other organisms you see … are more than merely literally you. You’re the same creature. Just as if the Earth were a being who instances her organs »on her surface, and whose ‘skin’ is the ground. Just as if the sky itself were thus, and produces stars and worlds as organs. Which in turn, produce you. The mountain and the river, the cloud and the mouse. They are you. You are them. There’s just one animal here, and its almost entirely transcendental to the way you have come to think.”
