Validity of the perception of separateness with other fellow beings: Soul and Body perspective.

I am a reconstruction of the materials of this world. I took birth in my mother's tummy. I took this form there and from the very first day that this form came in to existence, it has grown only. With time, this form, this existence of mine has grown old. But this existence is not just flesh or physical materials and this is evident from the fact of death itself. When i die, this physical material will stay but it will not move. the ability to move would have been gone. That ability which we call spirit will be gone. It is an energy which cannot be seen, cannot be touched, cannot be smelled of or anything that can be done to the physical material cannot be done to it.

What separates me from other fellow beings on this earth is my recognition of this physical body. I have no idea about the intangible ability i.e. spirit except that it drives this existence and its departure is the cause of death. I am not able to identify that spirit or soul. I don't know it in entirety. What i know in entirety is this body. The identification with this body brings to me the thoughts which makes me perceive the separation from others. At the base of all the criterion that I employ to declare or validate my perception of the separateness from others, there lie the factors sprouting from the attributes of this physical existence, which is the only dimension of my existence that i know in entirety. The differences and separateness that i perceive sprouts from the characteristics peculiar to the body. And this reliance on the attributes arising from the physical is ignorance in itself because i live not because of or only on this physical existence, rather i live in that soul which drives this physical existence of mine.

The perception of separateness is not valid because it comes from objects which are themselves unrelated to me. They give me just the means to live this life but they are not the real self of mine.

God to my mind.

The divine is within me. Its not someone separate from me. I am the One who makes up this world and the surroundings and everything else. We all make up the God. We are all His constituents. He feels good when we feel good and He feels bad, when we feel bad. He is not someone other than us. He's nothing without us. We make up the God. We all collectively are called God. He has extended Himself is us. He is formed of us, the living beings. We are all like His sensory organs or His body parts through which He feels. All His sensations come from us. We are all His extensions. All the world around us is created by us only. We are god. God is us. I am the God. I with all the other beings around me is God. My existence is not just mine. In reality, i do not exist. It is the Collectivity i.e. we all together forming God, that exists.
