post a commentWhat seperates us from the world is ideas.
Ideas that there is a world outside of ME.
Take for example, a peice of paper.
What is paper? Well it is made from trees, no?
So: Paper = Trees
Well, what are trees? They are organism, fueled by the nuclear-furnace called the Sun, along side water from the clouds, and nutrients from the soil.
So: Paper = Trees = Sun = Earth
Well, let's consider the Sun, its not independent of the Univerise, or even Jupiter for that matter -- the whole Solar System is one woven dependent system of self-organization, no?
Paper = Universe...
You are no different, we use nouns when there is no such thing. Everything is intercorrected with everything else.
Ideas seperate man from Truth... there is no seperation!
