My response to the second chapter was the significance of the individuals experience of the world. No two people can have the same encounters in the world. No matter how much science can attempt to explain to me how a mirror works it can't explain the effect of seeing another world within each mirror and not being about to experience that world.
Abram writes in chapter 2 "...a collective field of experience lived through from many different angles. The mutual inscription of others in my experience, and (as I must assume) of myself in their experiences, effects the interweaving of our individual phenomenal fields into a single, ever-shiftiing fabric, a single phenomenal world or 'reality.'"
