The story of oneness is an concealed infinite regress characteristic for monisms. First oneness is postulated and then everything is traced back to the mere postulate as an object of one's mind and even all tracing-back has to be traced back interminably.
If you remove the postulate only the nature of mind remains and everything and nothing become indistinguishable. This shouldn't be confused with a 'nature of mind' monism which would simply replace the oneness monism since 'nature of mind' refers to the subject's experience only and leaves open everything else.

In this fictional made up story about nonduality what is meant by Oneness is not some sort of entity but that despite the very convincing appearance of difference, All is One. That doesnt do it for your character but that should not prevent you seeing that it might work for other different characters. It is not being presented here as a truth applicable to all.
Something can be said about why some characters find it profoundly liberating where there is no sense that the character is essentially flawed in some way, and in need of correction or the death of the ego or quietening of the mind and such like. In this description none of that (or anything else for that matter) is required for complete unconditional connection to Oneness. When the character is seen as flawed then it is understandable why a path that requires some correction of the character is selected by the mind, which knows the character well.
