No problem- once a unified life is lived, our tendency to act as if alone drastically diminishes, in part becuase the seperation between us and others is not the dominant perception. Differences are there but they function more as differentiation for normal daily activity (e.g.the red traffic light means stop vs the green light means go) vs something for the ego (small self) to involve itself with. There is no further thought of differences once they have been interacted with in order to carry on daily life. Things are as they are- no more and no less. That pain leaking through is just built up impressions of separation, which dissolves quickly once a unified life is lived. Often the pain purges itself from the body; crying, vomiting, etc., when union is close at hand. Memories of pain can be felt, but there is no more karma of separation actively generated.
