Of course it matters.
That is the entire point of spirituality to move one beyond a thought, a concept to the realization of.

Thats just another exclusion or blind spot to seeing all as Oneness manifest, including concepts and understanding. In that sense whatever condition you might imagine for connection to Oneness does not have to be met.

That is a concept you are pushing.
If all you are doing is thinking all is Oneness so everything is ok and perfect they way it is because it is all oneness.
That is a mental concept.
When one has realized that they are everything and it all arises from within. When one can share that oneness with another that is the realization of.
The spiritual paths, the practices are designed to move one beyond the concept to the realization of and along the way the improvement in the quality of ones life.
Also for those interested Oneness and non duality are very different concepts in the spiritual path.
Oneness is that there is just One and the goal of the spiritual path is one of cessation, the end of suffering and a returning to the One.
Non dual is that everything has the same essence but we are each unique in that expression of that oneness based on our unique karma. We become One like Siva or as Jesus put it.
50.

If they say to you, 'Is it you?' say, 'We are its children, and we are the chosen of the living Father.' If they ask you, 'What is the evidence of your Father in you?' say to them, 'It is motion and rest.'"
The evidence is the realization of.. not a concept of...
