Started from Oneness, people brought out many many details, steps, reasonings to theorize the different outcomes of Nature. We can hardly find any people don't have the trust on Oneness (Nothingness/Emptiness prior the Origin of the Universe also belongs to Oneness.) Before, I wonder why it needs MJA to repeat and repeat to remind people about the Oneness and the hasty reduction to Oneness? Now, as revealed by this sentence "Oneness is nature's single truth!", MJA reduces everything into one (or one truth) and propagandizes only a single truth. "Single truth" is a term always propagandized by a dictator in his own country. In that country, all countrymen and countrywomen have been beautified as in equality, but actually all been sanded off in uniformality, no difference, no individuality (except the dictator). Best Regards (But no regards to a maybe dictator). Bottomlander |
Dear Bottomlander, I thought you should see this: Oneness (concept) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spirituality Portal Oneness is a spiritual term referring to the 'experience' of the absence of
egoic identity boundaries, and, according to some traditions, the perception of an absolute
interconnectedness of all matter and thought in
space-time, or one's ultimate identity with
God (see
Tat Tvam Asi). It shares traits with
Pantheism. Its meaning may be synonymous to that of
nonduality, though some claim that non-duality implies 'not one' and 'not two', i.e. non-duality is analogous to the
Hindu formula of
negation and to
Neti Neti, used in describing the
absolute.
A
functional explanation has also been proposed as follows: the unification of
consciousness with the
subconsciousness to yield a supraconsciousness.
[citation needed] Though some maintain that oneness necessarily transcends all consciousness
per se.
Some feel that the human experiencing of Oneness expresses itself in the unity of thought and reality. They describe an experience of thought creating reality which feels like
Omnipotence. However as the consciousness grows to encompass all, the ego becomes relatively insignificant. In its culmination, the
seeker passes through
ego death. This coincides with several teachings of different cultures:
- Hinduism speaks of the Dance of Kali on the dead body of Shiva.
- Jesus says: to enter the Kingdom of Heaven one has to be reborn in the Water and Spirit (see John 3:5 [1])
- Baha'u'llah taught that God responds to the seeker by drawing him 'from the realms of contradiction unto the retreats of oneness...numbered with those whom the light of God hath guided aright in this day.' Individual identies vanish as the seeker sees all the Prophets as one and the same Being, 'the Manifestation of the Self of God.' No change nor transformation exists in this realm. '...this is the station wherein the light of divine unity shineth forth, and the truth of His oneness is expressed...' To experience oneness, the seeker must enter the City of Divine Unity which is 'the garden of oneness, and the court of detachment.' (see Gems of Divine Mysteries)
For others, Oneness, the characteristic of being
one, is a term used to characterize God in contrast to
Christians who believe that the
godhead is of a
triune nature comprised of 3 distinct, but not separate, identities (see
Trinity).
---------------------------------
I would like to add a few more thoughts of my own. I could not find any mention of "dictator" in the above description of oneness as you suggest. With regard to who should take claim for originating "oneness," It was not or is not a single person, but only nature itself. Nature alone is the ultimate dictator of truth. I do humbly and egoicly take claim for the simple reduction of e=mc2 to =, and at the same time, thank Einstein for showing me the way. = is the solution he was looking for, and the flaw of measure is all that stood in his way. Beyond Relativity is Equality! As far as my repeating and repeating oneness, sorry, it is only because this forum is searching and searching for the unifying truth of everything over and over again. For every action, there is an equal reaction. Oneness is the solution to all the question this forum asks. In other words, the definition for TOE. is: Truth is the Oneness of Everything. Hope this helps. = MJA
