Oneness

 

 

In recent decades, a lot of information has become available to us. Before, seekers only had access to the tradition they grew up with. They usually only heard the priest in their own village. People now have access to all sorts of philosophies and spiritual traditions from all over the world. We have never had such a variety of spiritual traditions and religions that we can study or practice. We have never had access to such an amount of information. And despite all these books, theories, therapies and techniques, most seekers are still not satisfied. There is still a hunger for “the real thing.” For the ultimate answer. For the final solution. But this gap is usually not filled by a spiritual path or philosophical approach. Some seekers are not satisfied with the answers proposed by a certain school because they are dogmatic in nature. They desperately look for an answer which is universal. They want a vision which doesn’t exclude anyone. Some seekers then discover the so-called “philosophy of oneness.” This philosophy of oneness is not a “real” philosophy in the conventional sense. And it’s not a new spiritual school that claims to represent the absolute truth. And it’s not a spiritual teaching that promises to solve all our problems. It’s simply a vision that says there is only oneness. And this oneness knows no hierarchies or limits whatsoever – except in the appearance. Despite the enormous variety of phenomena in the apparent world of everyday life, there is a timeless unity containing everything. A presence which knows no borders. A fullness which is everything.
