Now it's amazing what doesn't exist in the real world

For example, in the real world there aren't any things

Nor are there any events

That doesn't meant to say

That the real world is a perfectly featureless blank

It means that it is a marvelous system of wiggles

In which we descry things and events

In the same way as we would pick out

Particular groups of stars in the sky

And call them constellations

As if they were separate groups of stars

Well, they're groups of stars in the mind's eye

In our system of concepts

They are not out there as constellations

Already grouped in the sky

So in the same way the difference between myself

And all the rest of the universe

Is nothing more than an idea

It is not a real difference

And meditation is the way in which

We come to feel our basic inseparability

From the whole universe
