All is one, yet to most of us it appears as if everything is separate. We, as human beings, seem to be separate from one another. It is quite obvious that we are all different to some degree. Everything and everyone looks different, sounds different, smells different, tastes different, feels different, emotes different, and thinks different.
These differences cover all of our seven senses, which in fact is merely one sense, called perception, which stretches over the part of the energetic spectrum that we as human beings can perceive. We perceive things and people as different, because we are very much focused on these individual units of creation, and believe that these differences imply separeteness. That, however, is really just that - a belief.
Seen from a different vantage point, everything is a part of the underlying oneness of creation. Despite their differences, all the parts make up one whole, where separateness cannot exist, or the whole could not function optimally. We see that whenever something believes to be separate from the whole, things start to break down.
Just imagine our physical bodies. If some small part of it suddenly starts to behave as if it were separate, and stops working together with the rest of the body, things start to go haywire pretty quickly. That part begins to break down, other parts are forced to do the job of that part, and the balance of the entire body is shaken. The result is what we call disease.
We do not normally perceive the individual cells, tissues, or organs in our body, yet with some training we could. If we did, we would for example find that a liver is very different from a heart – in appearance, in function, or in terms of cell types that it is made of. Yet, despite their differences, both are a part of the same body unit and are absolutely necessary for the whole body to function optimally. It is the same for us. Think about it this way: All that differentiates the unity of our physical body and the unity of the entire creation is our point of focus.
We are not usually focused on individual parts but on our entire body. Therefore, we experience the body as a whole unit and don’t perceive any separateness between the individual cells or organs. Likewise, if we shifted our point of perception from our physical body to the whole of creation, we would no longer imagine any separateness between bodies and things, but merely experience all of them as different, yet absolutely necessary, parts of one whole being.
Just like we wouldn’t normally say to our cells: “I like you, you can stay, but you, I don’t like your behaviour, so get lost. You are not a part of me.”, it might not be very helpful to think so about other people. We may not like how they look or behave, yet they do their job for the whole, whatever that may be. And if perhaps we treated them as part of the whole and wouldn’t separate them from the rest in our thoughts and imagination, they would do a better job and behave in accordance with unity and not separateness.
This shift in perspective may necessitate the realization that we are not just our physical body but essentially everything, and that we can experience being everything. We do not have to limit ourselves to just this physical body. However, since we have been training our perception all our lives on our physical body as if we are just that, it may take a bit of training to shift our point of perception to a larger part, or the entirety, of creation and realize that we also are that.
The first step in that direction is to accept that, while everything appears to be different from everything else, it really is all just an infinite number of different parts of one and the same thing – a creation which is imagined by the unmanifest in order to have an experience – and whatever differences there are do not imply separateness.
