If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death – or shall I say, death implies life – you can feel your self, not as a stranger in the world, not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke, but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. What you are basically, deep deep down, far far in, is simply the fabric and structure of existence itself.

Alan Watts
