The manifested universe is observable. The mind classifies, categorizes, and compares everything in it. Something is long, something else is short. It sees things in opposition, as opposites. Seeing things in separation and as opposites leads to animosity and violence. If you are separate from me, I am afraid of you. There’s another way of looking at things, instead of settling for the concept of opposites. You can introduce scale. If you think of yourself as intelligent, look and see how much intelligence is there and how much ignorance. You will see it’s never all one way—there is always some degree of each.
