So, we can, with admitted limitations, reply to "How?" of all this with one word, "Communion." The Way is an act of communion, so Life-in-communion. Whom with? Itself. If each is one is true, then, even sharing in duality is one sharing with one.
How can one share with one?
We cannot say.
How can one share with one as two?
We cannot say.
How can two share with one as one?
We cannot say.
How can two share with two as one?
We cannot say.
We cannot say.
So, the wise use words to lead us to "Silence."

And, communion continues biologically. Through genes, I am my mother and my father, and all who went prior to them. Essentially, the truth of "No Man is an Island" is, as well, "Each One is Everyone." In this body and mind, I am shaped by thousands of years of genes, passed one to the next. And, to say I can do or be anything, well, is a falsehood, for this communion biologically works freely within the bounds of a history allowing certain developments and excluding others. So, communion, at the biological level, is bounded, while Communion is not, encompassing all bounded, limited form ~...
the bounded points to
and lives within
the Boundless
both equally
belong
resting in limitations
expressing possibilities
how wise... how wise!
yes and no
in mutual sharing
opposites apparent
shades at peace
cast by one Sun
This is to say, the Way includes, without opposition, many ways. Any conflict arises from way in opposition to way, not from the Way. Peace, then, within us each and among us all is in seeing and acting as Communion, in living with respect that all ways inhere in the Way. Again, Reality, as metaphor, is holographic, as way mirrors way, and way mirrors Way. And, so, if I go far enough into any way, I find Love, for Communion is Love. The deeper I go, the more clear Love appears.
