Everyday schizophrenia, that you are an entirely different person in a different world in the morning and at night, according to the season, weather, last night's dinner and other conditions, is the simplest way of seeing that there is no sharp division between you and the world. What moves through time - to provisionally lean on time - is the whole complex of experience, and the parts that you momentarily call self and world are contingently defined in each movement by material inferential relations. It is a matter of applying a certain ontological topology, to which the mind is perfectly adapted, to do which results in the 'full-service' being-in-the-world that you have at any particular time. This might be an insight resulting from performing a phenomenological reduction, or from the habit of a basic meditation in which you feelingly locate the self vortex within the welter of active engagements, or merely from living with your desires. It should be clear the that who is experiencing is not the self in the feeling of self but the nameless presence of the totality of whatever happens to be.
