FWIW, this passage struck me well and also the one I take away the most from the book.

It is akin to the Tao, or your flow experience where you are immersed into the thing, your consciousness doesn't differentiate between you and the object. That experience is the boundary.

Thinking about my experience with flow states (coding, biking, climbing, music...) I would still object that just because I can perceive subject and object as unified in a flow state doesn't make the distinction meaningless. If I fall from my bike and hit a tree, aren't the consequences different depending on whether the branch breaks or my arm breaks?
