Beyond the Event Horizon

We live our lives in two worlds – an outer and an inner one. The outer world we share with others. In our inner world, we are alone.

The boundary between the two worlds can be crossed in both directions: through our senses, the events of the outside world are filtered into our inner selves, and through language and actions, fragments of our thoughts, emotions, and inner states are brought out into the world around us and may be received and perceived by someone else.

The ease or discomfort we experience when crossing the boundary between these worlds is shaped by who we are and the circumstances we find ourselves in.
