Think of everything that lives as a book , and thats including yourself. All books are made out of wood, so let's say everything that lives is made out off wood, you and every other animal are all made of the same stuff the only thing that differentiates you is your covers and the shapes and the sizes but most importantly the story each book tells. and each book tells a different story(experience) even if it's slightly different , it's unique. And in this universe everything any thing has the possibility to exist and so it does; as it's all being told through all the books which is why each book has to be unique because there are an infinite amount of possibilities ,proposed differently infinitely. Which is why our universe is infinite as well as life and, reality. So do you see that each person and animal is like a slightly different story in order for everything in every possible way to exist. At the same time we are all the same because just like every book is made out of wood , but tells a different story. we are all life but each experience something different through the physical form we live in ("you are everyone and everyone is you"). The reason why this analogy works is because there's something called consistency in this reality, and if it's a consistent idea or theory then it's real because every time you test it, it works. But anything that has inconsistency isn't real
And so this reality is very consistent with its truths in which you can find if you are willing to put ignorance aside because most of the time They're right in front of you.
