What are we, and what are animals? Our concepts only reveal our
impeding conditioning. We are neighbors, mysteries, and we are all
manifestations of the eternal light of the infinite consciousness that has
birthed and maintains what we call the universe. The intuitive knowing that
would reveal this to us, though, is mostly unavailable because as a culture
we are outer-directed and fail to cultivate the inner resources and
discipline that would allow us to access this deeper wisdom.
