“While our ordinary matter-based perspectives emphasize individual human uniqueness, in the larger view human beings are as alike as grains of sand or cells of the brain, collectively forming one humanity or global organ of consciousness and activity. We deal mainly with the psychophysical illusions that we weave around ourselves. In reality no others are alien from us, or we from them, whatever our physical or psychological expression may be at any moment. Because we are so caught in webs of illusion, perceiving only the surface of life, we truly are never positioned to judge anyone, not even ourselves.”
