The world is unlike the mind that perceives it.
— Mind and world are distinct.
The world as we perceive it is the mind.
— Mind and world are the same.
Rationally, we are able to accept each separate premise and outcome as valid, yet we cannot hold both simultaneously.
The world can feel itself, and think about itself. When we reflect upon the world it is the world reflecting upon itself.
We are at once part of and the whole of the world.
