This stream of human consiousness.
A blog from my dear friend @worldclassplayer did trigger me again, you can find it here.

We are all One
Fragmentation of countries, cities, religions, political systems, etc, is a reality created by thought. Fragmentation is shaped by fragmentary thought and guided by illusory perception. We mistakenly see things as separate, as fragmented. Fragmentation can only be a part of a greater whole.
All facets of our collective reality are parts of ourselves.
Culture = Collectively Shared Meaning, but it's still a fragment, there are many different cultures.
The illusion that the self and the world are broken into fragments originates in thought. Thought in itself being a fragment, whatever it does will bring about fragmentation, conflict and confusion.
By Creating Superior Systems - we make the existing systems obsolete and irrelevant over time as they are abandoned in favor of Superior Systems.
This stream of human consciousness is like a blockchain, the blockchain is the container, this container contains the content. The container and the content are one, the container is the content, without the content there is no container.
Now when we want to change the content, replace an existing system in favor of a superior system we are juggling.
There is no entity, there is no jugglar to decide, to juggle, when the content to juggle is absent. Therefore the jugglar and the content are one.
For the last days I am following the drama about flagging here on @steemit, there was really a flag war going on. One of the jugglars is @berniesanders - he is also a fragment of content, trying to juggle, change the content, replace an existing system in favor of a superior system.
There is only content, juggling itself.
When we are thinking, we are merely talking to ourselves.
Great Post.
It's kind of ridiculous, When we reflect on the dynamics of "fighting and feuding". The ridiculousness is in the realization that our cognitive dissonances...disagreements....separation's, - are aspects of ourselves that we are not conscious of....and ironically, "the fighting and feuding" puts things into our face/attention and conscious mind through the experience of "others".
Ironically, we are all here together...always.
I really like the final line in your post...I might have to write a post with it :)
The content juggling itself "fighting and feuding", creating the jugglar in the process (separation), a fragment of content that claims authority above all other fragments. This jugglar (the self, the me, the observer, the experiencer) are indeed aspects (fragments of content) of ourselves that we are not conscious of.
Therefore the observer is the observed, the experiencer is the experience.
First step in going to sleep is shutting down our senses, sight (vision), hearing (audition), taste (gustation), smell (olfaction), and touch (somatosensation) so that the jugglar (experiencer) ceases to exist.
First step in waking up from sleep is powering up our senses so that the jugglar(experiencer) comes into being and with it the experience of the other(s).
Without the jugglar (experiencer) there would be only experiencing.
Yeah..sure, there is no delete button on this blockchain we call life. :)
I really like the clarity of words you use in your writing.
