oh! i think i get it... it's kinda like paint becoming an image of a person. The paint IS the person and the person is the paint... Because the person is the paint the person is also the grass the sky and everything... So if the painted person believed he was seperate from the sky and the grass that would be a hallucination on their part.

What the paint is doing they are doing, what they are doing the paint is doing. Damn this is a trip!!!! We are nature doing what we are doing....

Last two comments are missing the point. Listen a bit more carefully.

@Splurgendii trouble is this takes soul completly out of the picture...yes this "paint" is our temple (the flesh) that makes up our physical being..which is no different from the matter of anything else..but our soul..that which is god in is is not this "paint"...peace
