Abstract

. If we are gods and there is only one God, then it must follow that we are one. So then, how can I understand oneness fully, if I have never felt it? Of course, I have had glimpses of it. But they were so few, so dispersed and so short-lived that I’m not even sure what they were and how they felt anymore. I just remembered that I liked it when it happened.I had a very interesting dream the other night. I was sitting in a public place, I can’t really remember, but I think it looked like a cafe, and I was talking to the president of Romania. Who I was talking to is not really an important detail so don’t read too much into it. In my dream, I knew that it was a dream, yet it still felt like I was a person; I was the main actor in my dream and I still saw things from a first-person perspective.But knowing I was dreaming had other implications. This also meant that all of the surrounding world, other people, including the president were in my mind. They were all me. Yet, I still felt the sense of

How Can I be One With the Universe?

I heard many spiritual teachers repeating over and over that all is one and that life is a dream and that we are one with all things. I see that. I understand that. I know that I am one with the universe, God, call it what you may. However, my day to day experience is not filled with feelings of unity. I have a human experience. Not that anybody promised anything else. Psalm 82 says:

I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.”

So, what does it feel like to be one? I jump straight to this question, but let me explain a bit. If we are gods and there is only one God, then it must follow that we are one. So then, how can I understand oneness fully, if I have never felt it? Of course, I have had glimpses of it. But they were so few, so dispersed and so short-lived that I’m not even sure what they were and how they felt anymore. I just remembered that I liked it when it happened.

I had a very interesting dream the other night. I was sitting in a public place, I can’t really remember, but I think it looked like a cafe, and I was talking to the president of Romania. Who I was talking to is not really an important detail so don’t read too much into it. In my dream, I knew that it was a dream, yet it still felt like I was a person; I was the main actor in my dream and I still saw things from a first-person perspective.

But knowing I was dreaming had other implications. This also meant that all of the surrounding world, other people, including the president were in my mind. They were all me. Yet, I still felt the sense of a person, the sense of the limited me. So, we were sitting next to each other and being aware of the things that I just told you, I said to the president:

- You know, even though we’re different, we’re really one.

And he said:

- I don’t understand.

Now, I ask you, does it really matter if the president in my dream understood that all was one or not? Everything happened in my mind anyway. I knew it and had no problem with the dream. I also didn’t know it and didn’t understand how all could be one, through the agency of the president. Regardless, the president was me. And I knew it.

It’s the same in our waking life. Whether you know you are one with everyone and everything doesn’t change the reality of it. Oneness, God, the Universe knows it’s one and that you and everything else is one with it. It also knows this through many beings. You are one whether you know it or not, whether you think you deserve it or not.
