15:10 Once the merger fully happens, is it permanent?

17:11 Is love what makes two things become one?

18:48 What is the difference between the watcher and the witness?

20:30 For there to be a 'watcher' does the 'I' have to be there?

40:32 The playfulness of the Divine

42:05 If you just watch an object do we see the existence value?

48:16 On some level are all different things the same if we are not thinking?
