You may know the story of the blind men and the elephant–they all felt different parts of the creature and argued about what the animal actually was till they understood they were feeling different parts of the same thing and that they had to put all their perspectives together to know the animal.
What if this were true of all of us in this world–if, like the blind men, we are “seeing” life and feeling it from our limited perspective, and that, in truth, we are all merely another piece of the exact same animal–life, the amazingly diverse “animal” we all are part of?
How would we be then in this world if we realized this?
