Part of this interpretation given is narrative storytelling. There is certainly an embodiment, an identity, and a subjective experience, however the symbolic and “self referential” part is fraught with illusions.
As for the rest, that of which they speak means more toward that we are one instance sub divided by barriers, yet there remains a continuity among us.
It does not mean there are no distinct identities, or containers of individuals cohabitating this continuous experience of our lives. Rather there are so many.
On top of all that, mostly we make up satisfying stories to make forgivable the crude details of our lives. Thinking about most things will only drive you crazy anyways. Such idle comprehension is a luxury of modernity.
Is this philosophical extrapolation, or a crude and forced attempt at something profound for someone‘s investment?
I cringe to their connection either way. Though a fascinating interest just the same.
