How did the ( Illusion ) the sense of separation start?

[Mellowmarsh]

By categorising the world into subjects ("I") and objects ("everything else"), we create a fundamental duality. This subject-object split fragments our perception, causing us to view ourselves as isolated observers navigating a separate universe, rather than an integral part of it. 

The illusion ends as and through thought-free silence. 

The real and true is what’s left, just this simple unclaimed absolute complete uninterrupted peace of God’s open secret hidden in plain sight. Always here and never not here.

It occurs In the brain . Newborns are conscious but they are not “self-conscious “. The sense of I arises in the brain around 4 years old to help the organism survive .

Yes indeed, how wonderful. 🤗

It’s like having the best of both worlds. Like "living in two worlds" referring to the simultaneous experience of the tangible, physical realm and the unseen, spiritual dimension. It represents the balance between navigating daily earthly responsibilities and maintaining a deep, intuitive connection with higher consciousness.

It happens when you fall and hit your head on a rock. Your system identifies: rock, me, pain. It's not an illusion, it's reality.

The separation is a real illusion.

You don't need that anyone tells you, if I hit my head with a rock you don't feel pain, but if it's your head yes. Then your head is separate from my head, and the rock is separate from both. Where is the mystery?

So, if a stone falls on your head in a dream tonight and you feel pain, does that prove that the stone in the dream is truly separate from your body in the dream?
