Is there an inner or outer state?

Let us, for the sake of this writing, assume that there is. I have said at times that if one looks at their external state, it is a reflection of what is going on internally. Could, then, a shift in our internal state bring about a change in our external state and circumstances? The answer to this is a resounding yes. Taken further, if we were to examine this a little more deeply, we would see that the apparent external and internal states are in fact one and the same. That there is no demarcation line. That in the dream, there appears the idea that our internal state affects our external state and so forth, but it is in fact porous - leading us to ask, ‘where does one start and one end and vice versa?’

In this apparent play, no one state is in ascendency. They rise and fall as needed. Our internal state affects our external environment and our external environment affects our internal state. Each like the wave, rising and falling as is, but upon closer examination, being seen that it is not separate from the whole.

This collapsing of boundaries shows us both are one and the same, simply appearing to be separate and different, but in fact apparent appearances in the one reality.
