Why the world of Dick Higgins of course. 

Ever surfed in Australia? 

Lots of good surfing there. 

When you are in the waters of this world, when the wind of this world
blows on your neck and shoulders, when the waves take you for a ride,
when you position yourself for another ride, and when you smile as you
make eye contact with another surfer, and  when you are tired at the end
of the day, when the only Sun of this world sets and the only moon of
this planet rises, you won't be thinking such thoughts;  Which world?
What world? Which one of me is here and which one should act now? 

No, you will know that there is only one world and you are blessed to
live in it and not in some schizophrenic and indeterminate postmodern
text.
