As a mirror of our own inner devisions, we have fragmented the world into inner and outer experience.
We embrace our separateness without realizing that there is only one reality. The universe is a single process occuring in consciousness (''the great stream'') and only by mergin into that process can we discover who we really are.
No external experience will support us, because the flux of events is inescapable. Time itself is a creation of the restless mind; space has been created by the same mind to give itself room to wander when in fact there is no space beyond a mental construct that, like all constructs, eventually turns into prison.
