They see this world and this time alone. They have no sense of “we”, now and in the future, so they extend the idea of “me” out to others in a vain attempt by the ego to reach divinity by equalizing itself to all others, for itself, of itself, alone. The ego defines other bodies as god so that its body too must then be a God. To the ego, if the body is a manifestation of god, so then the ego lives as a god. The ego's final goal, Adam has bitten the apple, the separation, as illusionary as it is, completed.
How can an ego see anything but this world when it uses the brain and not the mind. It touches with its hands, not its heart, forever locked in this world.
