A "single-eye" is
A mind undivided by
Mental reflection.
We play at being
Two through mental reflection
And self-projection.
A Peacemaker sees
Though a single eye and not
With a double-mind.
Re: "Can you guys explain what is meant by "seeing the world as separate". "We define ourselves as separate" ...(I'm)...not you...(and)...(you're)...not me ....(?)
Part 1:
Of TWAIN ONE NEW MAN***
(Introduction to Chapter 5 of OOMM)
"What’s going on within the geographic confines of your skull, behind your eyes, right now? Is it not everything you see before your eyes, and is this not actually composed of patterns of mental energy arising within your own head? Is it not also true that the patterns which you presently identify as yourself are composed of the exact same mental material you identify as other? This being true, how is it possible to be so intimately identified with one portion of your awareness,and so self-alienated from the other? Perhaps because the preponderance of your attention is habitually focused on the former, while you are proportional less sensitive and aware of the latter."
