🔗 The Universe is Born and Dies With You

In his book Opening the Hand of Thought, Kosho Uchiyama says something similar to this, but takes it even further. He says, “When I took my first breath, my world was born with me. When I die, my world dies with me. In other words, I wasn’t born into a world that was already here before me. I do not live simply as one individual among millions of individuals, and I do not leave everything behind me to live on after me.”
