called parity. Then they found that parity is not so. Then we have the proton and the neutron always and only coexisting and their masses are different; they are very close–one is interchangeable with the other, but they are different. So we are now dealing in a Universe where there is inherent complexity. Unity is plural and at minimum two. This has got to be very relevant to our mental health builders.
"If I want one word describing the experience of life, I use the word awareness: no otherness, no awareness. One of the first things a child begins to demonstrate to you is the discovery of his left hand with his right hand, the discovery of its toe, of its tongue. . . the discovery of the otherness within self and the otherness that is the motherness. So I say mental health would have to relate to the fact that there is this fundamental completertarity in Universe.
“Unity is plural and at minimum two. You probably have very bad health when you try to look out for just me–the single building block out there. That is where mental health goes bad, trying somehow to justify this self-survival business. So we have the individual looking out for self and feeling that self is Universe.”
