A Brief Thought on Antagonism

Homogeneous oneness is outside; differentiae are inside--in the mind. So the idea of the many is the creation of the mind.
So sayeth Swami Vivekananda (from Inspired Talks in The Yogas and Other Works p.543).

In light of this idea, there is a lot of work to be done on a concept of antagonism that does not rely on the typical idea of difference as combated so eloquently by the Swami. Homogeneity has to rub up on itself in a non-different way, producing myriad differences and even subjectivity. Sounds tough, but I'll get to work on it.
