We are both a wave and a particle
We cannot be separate from the universe any more than an apple can grow separate from an apple tree, or a ripple can exist without a pond.
You and I are as continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean. The ocean waves, the universe peoples. —Alan Watts, *Out of Your Mind
- see also: we are the process of the universe, not the end result of it, and we are wiggles just like the waves and the fish too
