What you see is what we get.

Perspective.

Reality is not so much subjective as it is subjectively induced. This is where the "oneness" aspect comes into play. The integration of all of the iterations allows for the condensation of our energies into a completeness. It is that completeness that is the end-result of our individual purposes. That is why man does not have a hive-mentality nor a group mind. Certain vestiges do remain from the lower echelons of our development but as we proceed, we eliminate them as well as all of the other less refined elements of ourselves.

To deny the purpose of each and any atom is to ultimately deny oneselve's own existence. The tendancy is strong to keep from becoming aware of the door but once you have found the threshold, you are the only one impeding your progress.

Snow and ice do melt away, but the water that they "create" is just a transformational aspect of their reality. Eventually, that water evaporates once it has gained enough impetus to free itself from the bonds that keep it attached to it's own particular prison. Each atom in that condensed or rarified reality serves a purpose.
