We can be "in it" and simultaneously "of it" I would assume? Just a matter of perspective really, eh? I think that we've defined a way in which we might be unique to "the rest" pretty well - at least in a very minimal way, in that we even entertain the notion of an unmoved mover in our minds. We don't grant that concession very lightly for "the rest". After all, the universe is clockwork...but not "I". The free part is the important bit, the defining bit, of that concept of will, not the self, not the will..not I or "the rest". That's pretty much announced at the outset isn't it?
Defining something though, is a far stretch from it actually being true.
