====1. Unity between specific external systems====

The lowest level of unity can be described as a perceived sense of unity between two or more systems within the external environment which in everyday life are usually perceived as separate from each other and from one's identity. It is the least complex level of this unity, as it is the only level of interconnectedness in which the subjective experience of unity does not involve a state of interconnectedness between the self and the external.

There are an endless number of ways in which this level manifests ~~itself~~ but common examples of the experience often include:

There are an endless number of ways in which this level manifests, but common examples of the experience often include:

* A sense of unity between specific living things such as animals or plants and their surrounding ecosystems

* A sense of unity between other human beings and the objects they are currently interacting with

* A sense of unity between any number of currently perceivable inanimate objects.

* A sense of unity between humanity and nature

* A sense of unity between literally any combination of perceivable external systems and concepts
