Are We All One, or All Alone?

[music]

Are we all one, or all alone? I have found perceptions of this can vary. For those whose primary focus is the heart, then the feeling is generally that we are all one, but for those whose primary focus is the head, the general feeling is that we are discrete units, separate from all other units. Neither the heart nor the head is superior, they are merely aspects of who we are, so does it not follow that we are both all one, and all alone at the same time, dependant on our viewpoint?

[D-Day]

We are both, at the same time.... balance.

We are all One, it's not just a platitude. We just cannot understand the term from this level of consciousness... We are not in unity consciousness (yet) so we tend to think that we are separate beings which we are... In a way, but it's just an illusion just like life is. When we transcend ourselves we will understand, it might take a while but it will happen to everyone eventually. Words cannot express everything.

I operate mostly from within my heart so I sometimes have a hard time understanding those who are operating from their minds and vice versa. Thinking from the mind is mostly a male aspect when thinking from from heart is a female aspect. Of course not everything is black and white, but I'm sure that you get the point. At least that's my opinion.

Balance - I strive for it, and sometimes even achieve it :D Happiness is a natural result of balance for me.

Starseed, that is pretty much as I see it. We enter a different realm when we consider unity consciousness, and all bets as far as the 3D world are concerned, are off. My focus here is how we relate in the 3D, and as I have recently been a bit remiss on here recently, this is my olive branch to the forum.

85% of your brain isn't used by you, it is used by We...


the 15% has more say than the other 85% on personal matters...


Partitioned hard drive, 15% Conscious, 85% Spirits of We the People...

I like it! The real "We the People".

we are whatever we think we are. as a man thinketh in his heart , so is he ... does it matter ? some Et's call us is be . I am . we as energy are everything and connected to everything... I know it sounds like a head trip, but music you are creation , just in a different viewpoint ( this time in a body) ... next time you could be a different body vibrating at another frequency ... creation expressing itself over and over and over... your never alone because everything is connected to you ( same energy vibrating at a different frequency each lifetime) ...

the reason for the many lifetimes , to learn balance . thank you . all the wars, the suffering, the poverty, means nothing at the end , only the knowledge of creation and oneness with creation and it's creatures living in balance with the universe and absolutum.. wow I just remote wrote that like a computer guided by a spirit.. woe i went back and read it , and woe .. that wasn't me....where did that come from , I'm freakin out a little .. something is changing , information is coming in too fast , I must keep going , it's all about oneness and creation finding balance.. no matter how many lifetimes it takes, or how many wars, or suffering , whatever it takes to learn about balance with creation , the universal truth. What the hell ? I never did that before , that wasn't me typing... I gotta go .

Ok, this is a tough question for many reasons. I'll give my take which by no means do I consider to be gospel.

I consider myself to be more heart-centered than head-centric. And I have experienced realms of consciousness via meditation which most definitely suggested a global if not galactic or universal unity.

I consider the concept of higher dimensions, and our existence here falling somewhere near the bottom... Now, in my mind, the 'we are all one' concept would only apply fundamentally to the very highest dimension. I can't go citing this, because it is a belief gleaned from various circles which reflect this view. Even the Law Of One concedes that the oneness is not achieved until the 6th or 7th dimension. They do however imply that the oneness is still a fact down here in the 3D. I would disagree, but perhaps that boils it down too much into semantics.

I think the 'we are one' concept is sometimes used by heart-centric people as an easier way to cope with and reconcile the vast divisiveness that they perceive in the world, and aid themselves in feeling empathetic toward the worst elements of society. That is not a bad thing. But in my mind, as we exist right now, we are each individuals. I don't fully buy into the 'one consciousness (God) experiencing itself', unless you accept that many aspects of each identity must be given up to truly achieve that underlying unity again.

Here is my first post so thanks for your indulgence.
One is born alone and naked, one will die alone taking away nothing material with him.
What is left from you of your stay on earth : the union trait on your grave between your birth and death dates ? This union trait : small in appearence but look into it and see it is full, gorgeous, infinitely marked with all the human relationships you encountered in your life and all the consequences it has involved, is involving and will involve.
Finally you were born alone but quickly filled with love or by the lack of love from
your parents, relatives, friends. Every daily relationship encountered filled you with love or by the lack of love, beyond reason. Every choice of relationship you made / did not make directly influenced your future and the future of others in one way or another.
Every bad experience gave you power to fight, every good experience gave you power to fly.
So all alone at the spark time of your birth and your death but all in one in eternity before and after birth and death.

I believe we are all one and oddly this is something my mind subscribes to as well as my heart, because it seems logical to me.
I totally understand why the one would want to become the many in order to experience itself,
but the notion of returning to source again one day scares the hell out of me!
I'd quite like to hold on to my individuality for a good many aeons yet to think about it.
Of course paradoxically, if I did get anywhere near to achieving unity consciousness I wouldn't be scared at all.

I feel similarly about reincarnation, in that it does make complete sense, but to me forgetting who you are from life to life
is almost the same as dying for good(or sleeping for a very long time). So in this life I'm going to try to do everything I can(which isn't much),
to release myself from the wheel of death and rebirth.

This is only my mind though, projecting these notions into the future, and fear lives in the future. Fear never happens, it is always tomorrow.

So yes, If I can get over myself, I would love to experience unity consciousness a few more times whilst maintaining my individuality. Balance!:)

(just thinking aloud here...)

Yes ... I so resonate with this, millevertus!
I thought of a poem called "The Dash" that is often quoted at funerals.
Last day of 2012 .... End of one year's "life" and soon we will "birth" another ...

Have you ever noticed that young children have no fear of death? Then they learn from us that death is something to fear. Have you ever heard a child relate information and experiences from a past life? Then we tell them it is their imagination. Have you ever looked in the eyes of a newborn baby? This is not an empty vessel. Have you ever noticed that children need to be taught individuation? There are no boundaries for the new born, these, like the boundaries between nations, are constructs of the fearful ego. Have you ever asked yourself what is the one defining characteristic of humanity? What is the one thing we have in common? When I ask myself this question, the answer is love. Our common link is the desire for love. For me, the return to love is what the move from duality back to unity is all about.


ghostrider: I would say your "remote" writing could also be called channeling.
millevertus: good first post, welcome to Avalon :)
