Greetings Bao Pu,
It seems to me that the expansionary force of evolution requires that species, that have obtained consciousness, think as a independent entity. So far, this conscious independence has enhanced our survivability.
However imo, the conscious self senses a non-separate identity. In Tor Norretranders book, " The User Illusion", he suggests that we experience more exformation than information and how it influences our lives. I see this exformation as the vehicle in which we sense the connectedness of our species and maybe to all things.
If you can, think about the last time you were in an audience and how you became the whole. If you were in resonance with the audience you responded as a individual and as
the whole. Exformaton energized your ability to be empathic and lose a degree of your aloneness.
As of today, i'm not sure if i'm dreaming that i'm part of the whole, or the whole dreaming that 'I' am one. My consciousness tells (gar) that he is a independent entity and his subconscious, through exformation, tells him he is, We.
in peace,
gar
