							Excerpt from The One That Is Both
						"Imagine that you are a facet of a large diamond. You look around, and you can see some other facets near you. You can tell that they are different facets because they don’t see things from the exact same perspective as you. You have no idea that you are part of this great diamond, and you have no idea that there are other facets behind you, because you can’t see that way. And you especially have no idea that you’re all made of the same stuff, carbon atoms, because as the light shines through the diamond, it refracts as one color through your facet and as other colors through the other facets around you, so you think that you’re all different because you’re different colors.” “Oh I see, but just because I understand that I’m a part of this greater whole doesn’t mean that I can intend to become a fox and poof, there I am. It’s like saying that I can choose to be a different facet.” “You’re still stuck in ‘facet-consciousness’ or egoism. No, one facet cannot become a different facet. Shift instead to ‘diamond-consciousness’ and put your focus first on human-facetness then put your focus on fox-facetness. When you are the diamond, it is simply a matter of where you direct your focus.” “And each facet has the capability of doing that?” “Only the facets that know themselves as the diamond can. It makes for a very alive and vibrant sort of diamond, doesn’t it? But again, it is only possible if you can imagine yourself as two things at once, the part and the whole, a facet but more importantly, the diamond.”
