The individual may be understood as one particular focal point at which the whole universe expresses itself - as an incarnation of the self, or of the Godhead, or whatever one may choose to call it.

For a decision-the freest of my actions just happens like hiccups inside me or like a bird singing outside me.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
