My brothers-in-law and I talk about monism-versus-dualism. It may be true, in spiritual sense, that there is only 'I' and that all things are the same, but bound as We are to these bodies, We can not both see the universe as it is and interact in it. They, of course, eat the Hindu stories up and regurgitate them, like they mean something.
Happy New Year to you as well. It has been an interesting year here at the blog.

Nope, these guys can't prove the fundamental theorem of calculus or truly understand particle physics (neither can I). But I appreciate the sentiment at 40:45. A tad New Agey, sure, but still solid.
