I have tried to understand what the people in this zone mean with the word Oneness.
The oneness I feel is the oneness with God and the universe, not with each individual soul on planet earth.
Can somebody help me out in interpreting this Oneness everybody is talking about?
Peace and love.
Each individual soul on planet earth ARE interconnected,
but it should be enough for us to feel oneness in our own uniqeness,& blissfully
knowing that this uniqeness makes us all familiar to one another.
This feeling of being uniqe is a common shared and uniting feeling.
You can witness this phenomena by being a passanger on a crowded bus or train in norway,
where many uniqe and original individuals gather to B e c o m e O n e for a monk-eye moment,
unconsciously that is,for we are often led by strange and unseen hands through a scenery wholly designed to capture our moment in time
and make us dream the big dream,the dream of life,that once awoken,joy will take all forms of delightful shapes in wich to indulge oneself.
Unconsciously we merge with other beings,sometimes wholly designed to exist in paralell universes,still the merging persists,it takes no note of illusive boundaries or imagined borders of armored men. Merging creates oneness with spirit,because it knows only love and the love thereof.
Love is oneness with life,the empathic impulses that liberates us from fear & makes us see the world as it truly is,in the magical sense of the word.
Our uniqeness may also distance us from others
so that it grows hideous on us
we may imagine in our litte house of horror
that we are so very uniqe that nobody can ever understand the level of importance we feel.
We may feel more important than others,and kill them with our uniqe automobile
on our way to a very important meeting with other rare and uniqe individuals.
Very easily our world can become uniqely horrible,if we,in our sense of worth,imagine that oneness is created by
the sacrificing of others.
One horrifying example is the murderer who achieves a nasty oneness with the spirit of his victim
and have nightmares within nightmares,fears within fears.
Scary stuff,really,and i think a cold blooded murderer,is never conscious of the MERGING tendencies of the spirit.
A coldblooded murderer probably have to experience this to become conscious of his acts of uglyness.
God works in mysterious ways it has been said.
One mans bread
is another mans head
one should eat once bread
knowingly
and each bite
a rememberance of the divine
each bite a conscious part !
a nourishing with that
wich nourisheth !
a feeding
upon the lives
of the many
and
a thankful heart
should be pounding.
Imagine a black hole
it craves for oneness
by usurping the all
or at least attempting to
by its "wholesome"
presence.
This craving for oneness
is in nature everywhere present
even in little dark smoking clubs for men and their beer habits
where they hang around eachother for support in this horrible life.
Beer creates a feeling of oneness,a numbed feeling of being one with the entire system of beer consumers.
Like coffee,also drunk to achieve this black and bitter oneness with everything.
Again,there be many substitutes for the brandy oneness,we speak of in spiritual communities,
simple agents to push us toward the percieving of the greater picture,but wich one easily becomes addicted to.
In the addiction field of conceptions,oneness is imagined to be of pure stimulus,and if no stimulation occurs
the experience of oneness is lost and other vile emotional disturbances may corrupt all further wishes or yearnings to feel oneness again.
This i think evokes a feeling of chaos within,a feeling like a turbulant wind,captured within,not allowed to escape
by our closing of the doors of life through fear of being disappointed or hurt again.
In this way we may attempt to protect us against oneness again.
One becomes one with the fear of oneness again
and fear as we know of by experience,is not wholesome,it does not make us well to be afraid
fear is actually the opposite of spiritual oneness,it is the black hole i was mentioning above.
It may appear as one awesome sucking power,but it does not feed life,it craves for it
and is never satisfied,though the impulse is very much there.
Have a blissful evening.
