When the old machine no longer does the job

Blame the bicameral brain. That’s the machine that cranks out the product: The struggle that is based on division, based on differentiation. The brain is bicameral so what we perceive oftentimes differs drastically from reality due to the brain's natural, innate propensity to divide everything by two. Two eyes each see the world differently due to their different locations in space and time and thus send two separate information packages to the bicameral brain. Same goes for the ears. Then the brain, a house divided, runs its system of checks and balances, each house overseeing the workings of the other.

And that’s the problem: The seemingly symmetrical duality built into the construct employed by the brain to filter reality. Reality is thus subjected to and broken up and then resynthesized by this duality. That’s the reason for this perpetual exercise in differentiation that leads us to conclusions that amount to nothing short of a collage of illusions, the illusion of you, you who seem so separate and different from me. The exercise in differentiation is what prompts us to constantly decline to embrace the reality defined by Einstein’s unified field theory. And that’s where the problems begin, with each and every one of us indulging in the illusion of you and of me when what differentiates you from me is negligible. In fact we are all one, cut from the same cloth, living out what we erroneously conclude are subjective experiences.
