Separation is an illusion.

[zenmaster]

We are of the perception of being separate through the illusion of individuality. Never thought about that before would people agree?

Identity is one a way to experience separation, yep. Identification is another. But we are not really "individuals" even within the illusion, we are still in the process of becoming individuals being largely dependent upon the collective for our identity and guiding influence - until the lower centers of "ego" are balanced. That's what the athanor promotes and what "polarizing" is about. So there is an illusion of individuality within the illusion itself.
