   ### - to be involved/not-involved is only an illusion, the perceptual   
   result of a divided mind...   
      
   we have no actual choice in the matter because we didn't buy tickets to   
   come here, so 'everything' in the world/universe IS involved by dint of it   
   just being here, whether it chooses to accept it or not, denies it or not,   
   that's all just words/narrative in his head...   
      
   there is no choice: if you're IN the world then one IS automatically part   
   of it whatever IT is, the universe is our home, our natural environment,   
   it has created us (and everything else) as an expression of itself that we   
   mere mortals have yet to realise, may never be 'able' to realise fully :)
