This is by way of really identifying that we are not the physical. We have an integral physicalness and we have an externalized physicalness, and I can call you on the telephone and there you are, and you’re not the telephone and I’m not the telephone. But what we really are has nothing to do with the physical, yet it is so intimately associated, so emphatically, due to the fact that we see and feel in these touching things. Only in this century did we learn about the speed of light. Therefore we thought that things were instant: it was instant when, of course, you were the touchable.
But if-- with no instant, then this is no longer true, and you and I are seen, we even see each other, here-- I don’t see out there anyway. I’m checking up on a communications system by touching here, but I’m seeing here in my television set.
