DM: Is there not an evolution here? From original unity of self-world, to
a differentiation into self, other-things, other-selves, to a realisation 
that beyond
this expereience is a world that transcends it all, to the realisation that 
there
are possibilities that transcend the world (known to 
physicists/mathematicians,
 mystics and members of the DQ cult, maybe even DMB).
