Being, presence, the fact of having objective reality.
The seeming emergence from the Whole—the apparent edge of Being.
From the Latin ex-istere: to stand out, to step forth.
Existence is not Being—
it is the appearance of something that seems to stand apart from it.
It is the outline, the shimmer on the surface of the formless.
In unfragmented seeing, existence is not denied—
it is recognized as the way the One comes to perceive itself as other.
It is not separation,
but the echo of wholeness
playing with contrast.
