"Our mind is a world. Our mind is literally made of the objects that surround our body. I think it's very reassuring - because we are no longer prisoners of our body, we are no longer prisoners of our brain - but we are the external world, we are a universe, we are the world we have an experience of. So when we see a color, we are made of that color. When we see a rainbow, we are made of that rainbow. The world makes us, in a very strong and literal sense."
