Hi, yeah that question always kicks my butt :-). That's the reason I like it so much! Basically if we begin to experience everyone and everything we can comprehend as One, as Self, then our perception of them doesn't necessarily change- scum remains scum and roses remain roses. However, to see our world in this way causes us to integrate our perceptions and experience differently. I find this way of seeing absolutely magical to further effect the continual surrender of the small self to the Self. Why? Because it is an accurate picture of Reality. So the question then becomes, how does each of us deal with Reality, the continual expansion of our Reality? Sounds simplistic, but all of us long term meditators here, not just TM, have each worked out our own strategies for doing so.
