"Now, in our culture we've been trained for individual difference to stand out. So, you look at each person and the immediate hit is: brighter, dumber, older, younger,richer, poorer. and we make all these dimensional distinctions, put them in categories and treat them that way. And we get so that we only see others as separate from ourselves in the ways in which they're separate. And one of the dramatic characteristics of experience is being with another person and suddenly seeing the ways in which they are like you, and not different from you, and experiencing the fact that which is essence in you, and which is essence in me is indeed one,the understanding that there is no other. It is all one.

In other words, if we could truly collaborate with our fellow man, there would be enough to go around for the world.But none of us can break through our own models of the way the game goes enough to do the things necessary to bring about that realization. And it's only when there is enough that we can become back to "we", both of us as subject, and experience the unity, when we are truly collaborative of our resources.
