Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 " There is no inside. There is no outside. Or rather, these two are one region. " I have taken this saying--which is a paraphrase or epitome or essence of a great many like it--to mean that anything that can be observed is " outer " or " other " , it doesn't matter whether it is mental, physical, or sensory--food,art, etc.Anything observable is in the same bag and is not " THAT " . I am sure someone can take this to another level and blow it out of the water with a " oneness " statement of some kind but as I have stated it, it makes sense to a groveller of my ilk.
