Summary

This quote suggests that there is a point within our consciousness where the usual contradictions and separations we perceive in life become blurred and cease to exist. It implies that there is a realm of the mind where concepts like life and death, reality and fantasy, time and space, and even ideas that can be conveyed and those that cannot, no longer contradict each other. This implies a harmonious state of mind where all dualities and divisions dissolve, leaving us with a deeper understanding and connection to the complexities of existence.
