Te’s thoughts were without doubt affected by the two souls he had encountered earlier in the day. He saw great familiarity between himself and his visitors. He was aware of a kinship between them and towards him. As this thought occurred to him he felt a warm glow. Te saw how the pair behaved; quite differently to each other, but far more similar to him than anything before. Of course he noticed their size over his, the smaller of the two was certainly softer. They were more than the rocks and sand around him. Te had, until now; given equal care to the plants he ate, as the ones he didn’t, as the sky and the clouds, as the sun and moon.
For the first time Te grasped with the idea that he was not the only occurrence of thought. In his mind an unproductive comparison, the potential seed to a forest of doubts, derived from the illusion of division.
