To end this article, I’ll leave you with a few other perspectives on Oneness spoken by ancient and modern poets, sages, mystics, and religious scriptures: According to Taoism, one should move beyond the attachment they have to themselves and live in harmony with the Tao. This type of practice is slow at achieving Oneness, but it is some of the deepest work you can do and there are no side effects to it. It is also recommended by psychologists to work on your psyche for a healthier mental attitude. 5. Practice self-love and compassion Practice self-love and compassion This book is a companion volume to 'A New Earth' comprising a selection of passages the author considered as particularly inspirational or suitable for meditative reading. The author recommends that you read 'A New Earth' (perhaps several times) before using 'Oneness with All Life'.

Moreover, enlightenment focuses on the ascending journey of the human mind. It emphasizes the love and light that we need to spread among our fellow human beings and in our own lives. And while that is an extremely important aspect of existence, we also need to embrace the descending journey of the human mind. And when we truly develop the ability to love ourselves with all our bad parts, we can get free from the boundaries that have been created by the world and by your own mind. Divisions between human beings that are different from us get dissolved. All that remains is Wholeness, Expansiveness, and Oneness. 6. Working within the community Working within the community Contrary to popular belief, Oneness is not a “special” experience– it’s actually the most natural and normal state of being possible. But from the perspective of the mind, it seems truly novel and exciting because it’s such a rarity! Splitting & Inner Fragmentation When we can experience the self, we can access pure awareness which is known locally and a grounded state of existence. The journey between nonlocal awareness and the general consciousness in everyday life brings us closer to Oneness. It also opens doors for the integration of this concept into our everyday life and accepting the darker sides of our being. All of this is necessary to achieve Oneness, as we discussed in the previous sections. After the integration of the dirty and ugly parts of our psyche with the rest of our consciousness, we have to take the next step, which is self-love, acceptance, and compassion. Human life brings us too many ups and downs, and as a result, we often experience highs and lows. That is why we often have an extremely complex relationship with ourselves, but if we develop the ability to manage our highs and lows with equal compassion, we learn how to love ourselves without any caveats.So with the utmost respect for the true commitment and sincerity needed for this path, I offer you five helpful paths. There are countless practices out there, but I have included only those that I have personally experienced and found helpful. So I encourage you to both pay attention to and also look beyond the scope of the tools presented here. 1. Meditation and mindfulness

Actions that are based on the principles of Oneness are rewarding in the sense that they fill us with happiness and joy, whether or not you get your desired results. Just the act of committing to the effort makes us feel connected to everything and can help heal isolation, loneliness, and helplessness. This theory further presents evidence for the concept of Oneness from one of the most celebrated scientists of our time. Why Do We Need Oneness? Reading these principles makes it clear that the principal concepts of Oneness are quite similar to all that is taught in different religions. It does not only extend to preserving the self, but also preventing harm to others. For instance, some people may argue that using intoxicating materials only harms the self. But the truth is that it makes one Less mindful of their actions, and this can make them more prone to harming others.It seems simple enough, but the truth is that love is the greatest and most powerful force in the entire universe. When you are in love, you become one with the object of your love. This is the essence of Oneness or Wholeness. In other words, if you live your life with love, you will be able to recognize that you are the universe. Oneness resides inside you and everything is you. To explain the connection between love and Oneness, Sufi wrote: All these philosophies may sound naive and idealistic, and it may seem like this utopia will never be achieved. That is probably true – for there will always be disturbing and violent elements that will want to disturb the fabric of the society. But that does not mean that those of us who can understand Oneness should not practice it in our lives.

In other words, when you perform this practice you should think to yourself that you and others belong to the same Oneness. Over time, you will inculcate this principle into your everyday actions, thoughts, and emotions. B. Om Following these precepts may seem idealistic, and in the current world, it may not even be possible to do it all the time. But if we commit ourselves to this cause and try to implement them wherever possible, there will be a shift in the world around us. We may not be able to eradicate suffering completely, but we will be able to limit it. Mindfulness which means paying attention to the present moment can help you in sharpening your ability to recognize your positive as well as negative qualities. This awareness forms the foundational basis of Oneness. 3.

Therefore, all the substances, living beings, and nature itself are the same and the separation between them is just a mistake of our perspective.

The bottom line is that Oneness should be practiced in a way that is beneficial for the individual and society as a whole. The Benefits of OnenessAnd the truth is that if we avoid this dirty and dark side of us, we cannot achieve the love and light side of enlightenment. It would be superficial with no actual depths to it. The holistic and realistic experience of being human can only be achieved through Oneness and Wholeness. The Practice of Oneness In his essay, The World as I See It, Albert Einstein talked about the optical delusion of consciousness. This means that one should implement the principles of Oneness in their daily actions. According to Buddhism, there are five of these principles. For example, Christianity says that all of us come from God and are the children of God. If we function keeping this in mind, we would be less likely to hurt other people.
