ONENESS

I am trying to understand oneness. I know, I use it all the time. That doesn't mean I understand it. A teacher teaches what he is trying to learn.

It is easy to explain in words; but to really understand it, to feel it, to make it your own, that's different.

We hear the concept, something intuitive tells us it is right. We try to find out. A common mistake is starting with our separateness. We can't find it that way. We must assume our oneness. Know that we are one and we have no choice about that. We were one in the beginning and we imagined our separateness. We are still one. We have just done a lot of forgetting.

To discover oneness we have to pay attention to our awareness. Although we can create, no matter the miserableness of our consciousness, the only energy that can be used in creation, is Love. If you practice seeing the love in everything, you increase your awareness. You begin to see the interconnectedness of everything. Remembering happens. Not suddenly; it begins as a feeling, a knowingness.

In human relationships it is not difficult to see how we create all, around us, and they create you. You can experiment by asking your wife or husband, "Are you crabby?". I am just kidding; don't do it. Such experiments can be like lighting a fuse to a dynamite cache. No, it would be much better to look for the peace inside you when you get a whiff of crabbiness.

Look for the peace inside you and for the love in everything outside. We will discover our oneness.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
