Division is an inherent part of reality, not just of language and thought.
If there was no division there would be no experience at all. Nirvana is
samsara. The idea that experience before we think about it is undivided is
absurd. If there is anything at all, there is division. If a baby
experiences the dharmakaya light, isn't there a baby, without which there
would be no experience of the dharmakaya light?
Metaphysics does divide, and by dividing, creates, like Quality does.
