We all are brothers in one same Universe...

separation is not an illusion, as we only leave in our internal model of the universe we build in our brains. Never any though can go outside or inside our brains without communication. This means thinking the tough, build a message, choose a canal, make the message through this canal, transport the message to one another, capture the message decode the symbols in the appropriate form, decode the message with grammar and memory, reconstruct the thought...
This show how real the separation is and cannot be an illusion.
But in the same time, we all are brothers in a same universe and maybe in a same soul or spirit. If "personality" is only an impermanent construction, then we can feel the illusion of separation... But they whom believe in impermanent believe in the same time in returning to emptiness. And thus separation is a non-sensed proposition, as there is noting to separate...
No ?

This is also my opinion. All religious "visible" fact is only cultural and human fact added by men. We should search for the fundamental and transcendent basis of the divinity.
Brotherly
