It feels like we’re quite cocooned here. If there is a more overarching world ‘either side’ of our life here, we can only intuit it. Where we are now feels like some sort of self enclosed experience with a veil thrown over anything extraneous to that experience. If we existed in a previous state, knowledge from there is barred to us (at least it is from me). We are bound here by the rules of cause and effect and therefore assume that such a ‘set up’ is ubiquitous.
Certainly it feels to me that nothing is obvious here. Repetition brings about some sense of normality, but that sleepy, comfortable lulling is always having to vie with another aspect that seems most perturbed by life in this ‘upside down world’. Water and oil are trying to mix. It is possible, but it’s a precarious affair!
