'''Unity and interconnectedness''' can be described as an alteration in the cognitive rules which define both what one's sense of self or identity is attributed to and what it is felt as separate from. For example, most people feel that the self is inherently separate from their external environment and could not possibly extend into it. On top of this, many people feel that the self is specifically limited to not even the physical body as a whole, but exclusively one's internal narrative or thought stream and the image of their own personality as built up through social interactions with other people. | '''Unity and interconnectedness''' can be described as an alteration in the cognitive rules which define both what one's sense of self or identity is attributed to and what it is felt as separate from.
