And yet the opposite can be true. We are so inexplicably interconnected that "I" becomes indistinguishable from other. We know that matter cannot come from nothing and it cannot become nothing. But instead there is constant movement and change. The clouds become the rain that nourishes the life that becomes the soil, that becomes the plants, that becomes the animal, and back again. We do not and can not exist separate from this. But we become attached to the illusion that these things are supposed to be permanent and that we are all separate and alone. But I don't think that we are. Existence is an experience that is intrinsic to itself. A miracle, really. And even if we are one day reduced to absolutely nothing, it doesn't change the fact that there was, without a doubt, something once before. But I believe that the ego agonizes over the thought that eventually there might not be evidence of that. We are so fixated on permanence and control (because we've been conditioned to fear the things that we can't control or change). But I suppose that it is completely possible for us to try to impose and define what "form" is and what "I" is separate from the world. But that's not /really/ possible since we'd have to be separate from the world and nature to start with. To that end, the answer is yes and no, and both and neither. And that thought is as uncomfortable and unsatisfying as it is liberating.
