Hmm. I never heard it put that way before. How would you define universe?
The "not-Self" and "Self" defining each other. Every "thing" and no "thing" without definition. Christ on the cross, Buddha under the tree, Odin on Ygdrassil.
Plainly, it is the environment the individual finds itself in--which it is inextricably a part of.
