Boundries to one:

To us humans, oneness is what defines our self individuality. While the matter of individuality can be studied in various levels, the aim of this text is to find the boubndires whithin a materialistic level.

In our minds, everything in universe can be defined as a seperate entity when descrbed with proper aaspects and boundries. This includes vast galaxies down to some level of sub-atomic particles. When it comes to massive structures in the universe, it might seem pretty easy to determine th eboundaries. However, the more fine grain we look into the constructive modules of universe, the harder it gets to determine the boundaries. 

Consider a little stone in a beach. On molucular level, it has specific molucules that distinguishes the stone from its surroundings. On atomic and sub atomic layers though, it shares the same charachteristics with its surrounding objects, like the sand in the beach, the water that has made the stone wet or the air that passes by.

If our means of observation is replaced by super magnifying microscopes that could show us the molucular and atomic or even sub atomic constructuion of the universe, all we see is a change of pattern from one construction structure to the other and not necessarily defining boudaries for those change of patterns.

The same description can be applied to everything we find around us or further away.. In one way, it might appear that I am explaining a physical phenomena (which I am) but I aim to take this as a reference to other things I have to say.

Being self aware and having an identity is an important part of our nature. And not just humans, but also animals and plants have identities. Animals will not eat whatever you serve them. They smell them thoroughly, maybe taste also and then start eating them. And this is one aspect of their identity showcase.

But the point of this text is that together with self identity, we should remember that our identity is not as clear and sharp as we may expect it to be.
