On Oneness

ON ONENESS: THE UNITY OF ALL THINGS

Despite common belief to the contrary, everything in this vast universe is connected into a “unit of one”. The pebble, thrown into a stream, eventually, merges with the oceans that are, also, connected by their tributaries and, in “time”, will return to the place from which the pebble was thrown.  True, it will not be in our “lifetime” but, certainly, within the scope of eternity.

We tend to see things as being separate and self-defined.  Yet, they are not.  Each thing exists within a physical space which is connected, merely, by virtue of its existence within that space, to another thing.  For example, the chair on which you sit is connected to the floor on which another chair is being sat on.  Moreover, that person seated, as well as the chair itself, are connected by the non-physical air that exists everywhere on this planet.  The breath that you exhale is the breath that the other inhales and the words that you speak are heard by and make impact on the others in you proximity.  In turn, the one who hears your words passes them on to, yet, another person or group ad infinitum.

Taking this concept beyond the physical universe leads us to question whether or not what we say reaches even the furthest known property in, what we call, outer space.
