Enough said. Yet, the skin of an organism is the boundry between the relative inside and outside. And what is experienced as inside is, in a way, like a reflection from the outside. ie., what you experience as seeing something is only the light emmanating from something outside stimulating nverves within the body. So, in a way, all most sensual experience is a reflection of outside forms. What you experience as sight outside is just the reflection from light bouncing off forms outside. Thinking is a different concern tho. The question is always, what is the " you? " What does it mean, we experience this or that? What is the " you " in " you experience? " Is there an inside being separate from the body that experiences. Is there no inner " I " at all, just an organism with no self-identity? Does a rabbit or cow have an I that experiences. Are we humans any different from any other mammal like a horse or whale? Is there someone or thing in a horse that is its uniques being? My vision is that the same essense looks out of all eyes and is the feeler of all senses. That Life is one infinite being that experiences through all forms and substance. When we look into another's eyes, we are literally looking at ourself, looking at itself. This one great being expresses itself AS all forms and is having all the experiences. In thst sense, I and you are this one being expressing itself so the essential I AM is the unmanifested life energy, the eternally present being, the all existing potential that is also all things and lives. Eureka! Wow! Extasy!!!
