But your remark could be interpreted as if you missed the context of being 'one'.
So being 'one' can only be understood as a metaphorical linguistic expression in the context of a specific commonality of different entities, a kind of 'sameness in difference'. |

And that is not quite true...of nonduality. It is not a state...nor a perspective. The separation is in the mind...not the appearance. What we see is nonduality itself...there never was duality. Duality is a figment of our minds. |

I share that view but it does not mean that the word Oneness has no meaning. |
