Do seeds of the sunflower perceive themselves as separate from the flower head? Does the flower head perceive itself as separate from the stem? Does the stem perceive itself as separate from the soil? Does the soil perceive itself as separate from the earth? Does the earth perceive itself as separate from the universe? Does the universe perceive itself as separate from itself? Even if so; is there any separation in reality? Naturally there is none. The perception of separation is imagined not to be alone with Companionship being the purpose. The macrocosm and the microcosm are Oneself. The universe is Oneself. The earth is Oneself. All forms of life are Oneself. The air is Oneself. The water is Oneself. Oneself itself is. There is only Oneself perceiving itself as life diversified not to be alone. All this for Companionship, for Friendship, to Love and be Loved.
