We tend to deal with the world by fragmenting it and stowing each fragment into a separate compartment of our mind. In so doing, we distance ourselves from the flow of life.

Our practice is meant to capture the flow of the real. The practice of "choiceless awareness" is most helpful for that.

Dropping our self-centeredness is a requirement for becoming partners with the world. And true partnership requires also that we, eventually, dismantle our sense of inhabiting a separate life.
