anyone ever experienced oneness?

My words are clear enough. Read them again if your having trouble understanding them.

Indeed, I do see a separation in others joy..If they claim to experience joy in perpetuity, because it is a denial But that's not it.. It's the lie that is conveyed.

How presumptive of your, Neville, to label someone else's experience a lie just because it's not the same as yours.


You have had your heart broken and do get your heart broken. Unless of course you lack compassion for the suffering in varying degrees that takes place in the world around you. Unless you choose not to acknowledge that suffering. Which is certainly not my idea of Oneness unless you mean being Oneness is Just Me.Me , Me.

Because that would be a type of oneness I would want no part of.

Of course it's not that, Neville. And of course I've known pain in the past... but now where I live in myself the inner heart of oneness is permanently whole and unbroken, and is where deep compassion arises from.

If you prefer the world of emotional highs alternating with conflict and suffering you're most welcome to it. Then again, most people can't imagine any other way of being, which why I talk about it. Opening the mind to unknown possibilities is always good.

I agree Neville ... and there's a whole lot going on out there that the airy fairy pink fluffy stuff doesn't cut through ... that doesn't actually do it for me in here either ... hardly skims the surface of what's true to life ...

Ever felt/seen the excitement of a child receiving its first taste of the wonderful delights of pink fluffy fairyfloss....how satisfying and delightful it all is to them....how happy they are to sample something wonderful that they may be the first time they have ever sampled....if I was to tell you that this child, was taken from its parents only the day before, after a life of constant abuse..does that mean in that joyful moment of sharing with this child the wonderful pink fluffy stuff.....that we are skimming the surface..sound..



In light of this story you might see that sometimes when we focus on the surface of pink fluffy stuff ourselves in light of your own seeing.....we miss whats really going on deep beneath the surface..or what was beneath the surface...it can all still be there..even when ones judgement thinks otherwise..

Be well..

In whose eyes Tzu....we all look at things differently but yes if they are forcing their beliefs onto us it's up to us to ignore these forced idealism, we certainly don't need another thousand years or so of dogmatic forced belief systems running the show!!!!...However I don’t see anyone here forcing their own beliefs on me on this site so I don’t see a problem.

An example of misperception; you said I was manipulative in a certain OP but it's not the way I saw it, I saw myself being manipulated, a probable misperception on my part however feeling is different to observing....one's person perception isn't necessarily everyone's else’s perception or correct.

The sad thing in life is if everyone on this planet believed in the God of man we would be still in conflict because everyone has a different perception, in actual fact if we believed in anything of the same we would be still in conflict just like we are on this site. The way I look at it if it’s doing no harm what’s the harm & I’m not saying that’s the way everybody else should look at it, that’s just my way of looking at it!!!

Love
Mathew
