It's truly amazing to be able to realize that all of those separations become meaningless from certain points of view....and yet still have value from others. Balancing those varying perspectives gets to be quite a trick...
I have a feeling that once we reach the ultimate perspective, all things will appear as one, and there will be no seperation, nor even any argument that could lead to it. In the heaven of Indra, there is said to be a network of pearls, so arranged that if you look at one, you see all the others reflected in it. In the same way, each object in the world is not merely itself but involves every other object and in fact, IS everything else.
In taking the Reiki class I recently did, our teacher mentioned that Buddhists tend to see all times as NOW and all places as HERE and all things as ONE. However, it's one thing to think about that abstractly and quite another to have a flash of experiencing that perspective...
That's paralleled by a phenomenon in physics related to electrons. See, they're usually found in pairs, especially in atoms, and they have complimentary "spins." If one changes direction, the other flips to accomodate it. The really trippy thing is that, if a pair is separated and then one flips, the other will immediately and instantly flip to mirror it....NO MATTER WHAT THE DISTANCE SEPARATING THEM!!
Superstition and mysticism, alchemy, magic, it's all just stuff that hasn't been proven by science yet. We can't detect certain energies or the effects of things other than how we feel, and science has created no tool to measure them. Maybe one day.
