There are only apparent boundaries." Highlighted without note. I assume because it sounds like wooshit. PS I just coined the term wooshit. It's bullshit that uses woo to explain things. It's things like pretending that the universe has a plan for you when you know that it doesn't know or care that you exist and that you're just soothing your terrified ego. text/html 2023-10-22T20:02:12+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://attemptedwisdom.com/books/awake_its_your_turn/chapter_10?rev=1698004932&do=diff Awake: Chapter 10 Notes Chapter 10.
