So what is discord at one level of your being is harmony at another level.

You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.

The myths underlying our culture and underlying our common sense have not taught us to feel identical with the universe, but only parts of it, only in it, only confronting it - aliens.

The whole idea of there being only space, and nothing else at all is not only inconceivable but perfectly meaningless, because we always know what we mean by contrast.
