“One can only attempt a rational, descriptive philosophy of the universe on the assumption that one is totally separate from it. But if you and your thoughts are part of this universe, you cannot stand outside them to describe them. This is why all philosophical and theological systems must ultimately fall apart.
To “know” reality you cannot stand outside it and define it; you must enter into it, be it, and feel it.”
