The sense of separation arises as the feeling of being a distinct presence, giving the impression of a "me" apart from everything else. This imagined divide spawns the story of a world to navigate and a self to inhabit it. Yet, this apartness is as illusory as the "me" itself. Without the sense of separation, it becomes obvious that nothing was ever divided. There is no boundary to cross, no distance to bridge—just this seamless, empty appearance. When the myth of separation disappears, what's left is this as it timelessly is—unbroken, indivisible, and utterly free.
