ONENESS

We still have a lot of snow on the ground. It is almost 40 F now and I am hoping it melts so we have a little break from Winter-like weather before Winter actually begins in earnest.

I am getting a late start. I was sitting here at the computer trying to think about what I should write about. I closed my eyes seeking inspiration and I fell asleep. I must have slept for almost an hour.

I know the problems with humanity would be solved if we knew our Oneness. I know the solution to knowing our Oneness is knowing our source. Source, meaning we all come from One, or God if you prefer. That follows that we are all part of Source and whatever Source is. So, what is Source [God]?

This is where the search comes in. Some folks just leap to some idea as a matter of belief. Belief is tricky. What is believed can be unbelieved. What if we seek for truth? We can read. We can meditate. We can listen to stories from others. We can study the works of the wise ones. We can look for what seems to work the best. Some of us come to our own conclusion that Source is Love and therefore so are we.

We took a trip into separateness and explored every avenue. We are now on our way back to knowing Oneness. Oh, that is easy to say!

We sit or stand or whatever in these individual bodies that are always pestering us with something or other. They are too cold, too hot, they have an itch, they are hungry, they ache, they want to have sex, they don't want to have sex, we all know the drill. Yet remarkably, we forget our bodies sometimes and realize we are not just bodies. We are much more! We have minds that can take us anywhere! Through imagination we can travel wherever we want. We can travel up the Amazon or cross the Sahara on a camel. We can do anything.

Can we imagine we are energy and at the level of energy [spirit] we are One? Can we imagine we are One Spirit that scattered itself in separate bodies to explore just how far the idea of separateness could take us?

Okay, that is an interesting intellectual construct. We might say, “I am still stuck here in this individual body, I don't feel any Oneness.” If it is true we are One, how do we get there? Ahhh that is the question isn't it.

We have to go back to that original seeking and discovery. We decided that Source was Love. Love is the solution then and the vehicle for solving our separation problem.

When we love ourselves, the World looks different. We can actually see that other people are Love too. With a little practice we can see what kind of separation folks are experiencing when they are not radiating love.

We have been practicing separation for a long time. We see how crazy the world has become. What would happen if we practiced Oneness?

What if every time we felt captive in our bodies, we decided there must be love somewhere in the center of our being and looked for it? What if we could feel love for ourselves and stretch that feeling to the person next to us? What if we could accept the idea that everyone is looking to love themselves and are just caught up in their own peculiar idea of separation?

What if we came to the conclusion that separateness is an error of our thinking and not reality? What if the reality is that we are really One?

We can take the first step by loving ourselves, the rest will follow.

I don't want to live in a World of Separation anymore. Do you?

Happy Monday!

Love and Peace, Gregg
