every   moment."(49)  Thus,   James   opts   for   a
　　   nonmonistic  and nonatomistic  position that closely
　　   resembles  that  of Buddhism,  holding  that  in one
　　   sense things  retain their particularity, in another
　　   they are interconnected and compenetrable:

　　   Without  being  one throughout, such  a universe  is
　　   continuous.  Its members  interdigitate  with  their
　　   next neighbors in manifold directions, and there are
　　   no clean cuts between them anywhere.(50)

　　   James offers a vision of infinite  and all-embracing
　　   relativity that equals that of Buddhism:

　　   Our 'multiverse' still makes a 'universe'; for every
　　   part, tho  it may  not  be in  actual  or  immediate
　　   connexion, is  nevertheless  in  some  possible  for
　　   mediated  connexion, with every  other  part however
　　   remote,  through  the  fact  that  each  part  hangs
　　   together with its very next neighbor in inextricable
　　   interfusion.(51)

　　   James  says that  his version  of unity  is not "the
　　   monistic  type,"  but what  he prefers  to call "the
　　   type　　 of　　 continuity,　　 contiguity,　　 or
　　   concatenation,"(52) which is in effect an equivalent
　　   of the Buddhist doctrine of pratiityasamutpaada  and
　　   Yogaacaara's conception of paratantra.

　　   IV. PURE EXPERIENCE AND PARINI.SPANNA

　　   As discussed  in the preceding section, the external
　　   world is not unreal  for James or early  Yogaacaara,
　　   but  they  agree   that  what  is  real  cannot   be
　　   approached  directly  through words or concepts.  It
　　   can only be experienced  through  direct, unmediated
　　   experience.  This  is the more  technical  usage  of
　　   James' term "pure experience." When he uses the term
　　   in  this  technical  sense,  it  refers  to  direct,
　　   preconceptual, and unreified experience:

　　   'Pure  experience'  is the name which  I give to the
　　   immediate  flux of life which furnishes the material
　　   to  our  later   reflection   with   its  conceptual
　　   categories.(53)

　　   What is experienced in pure experience is

　　   a that which is not yet any definite what, tho ready
　　   to be all sorts of whats.(54)

　　   A concept  is part of the stream of pure experience,
　　   too, insofar as it is directly experienced; however,
　　   the concept displaces  the corresponding  phenomenon
　　   as the  object  of direct  awareness.(55) Similarly,
