These are some of my abiding beliefs. They have
baselines similar to yours Platt, but I'm sure how I
word it is not how you see your beliefs. Anyways...
[Platt]

Yeap, and that's why deer are me and I am deer.
The tree branch is my arm, and the trunk my tongue.
There is no escape from my experience. I am a part of
this earth. I can make distinctions about it, such as
tongue, branch, etc..., but those distinctions are
conventional, for the purpose of communicating to
others. Usually, this world is overlapping it's own
distinctive trees, deer, and birds, and thus, I
experience a rainy day when the water falls and see
myself in those rain drops. I talk and so I hear
birds talk. Inability to make a distinction between
myself and my experience. When birds talk it's just
how this experience is me. Anthropomorphizing and
Naturopomorphizing

Now, later on, I might rationalize everything
into these neat little boxes, but sooner or later,
I'll want to just enjoy the primary reality once
again. AAAAhhh, the breeze through the hair... the
gray clouds upon the eyes... so relaxing.
[Platt]

And what I'm consciousness of is one single
light where deer bounce my mind and thought to thought
as these deer graze and walk I walk with them, I am
walking, I am a deer... no distinctions, yet...
[Platt]
> First split in the continuum of pure experience is
> yes/no.
What have I learned from this primary experience?
What will I emerge with this time around? What will
I say yes to and what will I say no to, as I split the
world into self/nonself, human/nonhuman? These are
the splits I'm seeing as well.
