He is an amazingly insightful person. I see our oneness in it, our centeredness in essence, our deep connection among each other and the Universe.

The tricky part is to move in the world from that place of no-thing-ness, no-one-ness (in Oneness). Being responded to as a "person" - an identity, a name, a body, a role, title, position - feels so small and constrained and false. Embodied, one must do - otherwise what's the point? Perceiving, acting, unidentified doing (i.e. without attachment to result). This is the harder part, and perhaps the goal of incarnation.
