If energy is the difference of potentials. Then what flows between our public life, and our private one?

Mark - I love the viewpoint of interdependence. Good viewpoint.

Life seems still the item which flows back and forth. Depends what one means by life a bit. <g>

To put it in other words: where is the individual daffodil in a field of daffodils? They all share a mutual interdependence on causes and conditions in order to phenomenally exist. Same for human beings, IMO, what we often like to think of as our vaunted "individuality" is really not that completely or uniquely individual as we might like to believe when examined.

Where is the uniquely human individual as a thing in itself, in a planetary garden that is producing a field full of them? Public (i.e. social) and private (i.e. individual) mutually define each other in just about every way you can look at it. IMO.

public/private is an interface that mutually defines depending on who is consciously observing and how they are identifying. Same applies for whole/part, IMO. IOW, they interdepend and the energy of the relationship (the difference of potentials and actuals) is being mutually shared.

A Bug eating your leaves is an experience within the private life of the plant. e.g. only.

I think your question good though. <g>

Not entirely. I agree it is part of it. Does a cow have a private life? How about a tomato plant? Could you continue to eat meat, or even plants if they had a private life? To have a private life you have to consider yourself as separate for it to develop.

If you care to look again there are some very interesting things there.
