This world we live in is one of two things or perhaps 'states'. Either the world/universe is comprised of matter that created us through the primordial sea theory without the guidance of a thinking entity....or....We are the thinking entity that creates reality on a regular basis. Since no intrinsic matter has ever been found, the only alternative is that We create ourselves and it has to be on a collective basis. This can be complex and difficult to understand. Humans, and I prefer to include the living and non-living mass of nature, are collectively ONE thing or entity and although we go through our lives as individuals, this is a deliberate blindness that we place upon ourselves in order to enjoy life. ESP is a leak in this system. I am you. I am your Goddess and you are my God. Everything we see and feel is completely universal and of one thing only.
We practice individuality and frailty but we know that we can never really die nor live so we just fake it and fool ourselves.
