Are we all One?

Wonderful what US election time brings up.

"Why Marianne Williamson Needs To Face Reality"

One of the more disturbing elements of what has been a formidable push of activating yogis in the political sphere is this constant ‘oneness’ I keep seeing repeated. Julian Walker succinctly dealt with this issue, so I will not repeat his brilliant exposition on the topic. The point here is this: we are not one, in terms of ethics and moral values, how we carry ourselves in society and what we are trying to accomplish, or what we believe America should be, as a nation.

Any thoughts?

I have to say, I do believe we are all connected as one. Nassim Haramein does a really good job of explaining it scientifically. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1JDMToJDe0 Basically, everyone is only .01% matter. That means the other 99.9% would be considered space. Some people consider space to be source, or god for lack of a better word. Hence proof that "god" is everywhere, and whatever you do to others you do to "god" and to "yourself".

But we all still have free will. So while we're connected, we're also separated, at least in our current paradigm. It was explained in the Bible, as us all being parts of the same body. So we function together, we co-create. If you hurt another person, you really hurt yourself as well, because we're growing as a joint unit, with the earth and nature.

Anyway, that's my short version take on oneness.

Sorry, but we do not all have free will. Some people cant develop a higher self, and so see through their ego.

I am curious why you think we don't all have free will. I'm assuming you at least do, or you probably wouldn't be commenting. Anyone who didn't have free will would basically be a robot... so I wonder why you think that, or where that idea came from. Do go on...

We are all one in essence as we come from the singular source, but clearly not in our various surface expressions. It seems to me this is what Marianne Williamson meant.

vibraflo: Sorry, but we do not all have free will.

I agree... As long as we are living from our unconscious conditioning we don't make free choices, even when we believe we do.

Well, so far anyway.

I believe in oneness but the variety of emotions that one can go through gives each & everyone individuality, our emotions dictate what we will experience & not two people in the world are ever alike in this because of the huge variety & levels of emotions, it’s our emotions that form the world to what it is, like with the ego for instance, how many different forms & levels of the ego are there?

In saying this however we are all connected through the conscious spirit which connects everybody’s conscious thought & experiences as one but what gives us individuality is that we are ignorant of this connectedness in realities like this one; we have come here, I believe, to experience individuality ignorant of our oneness.

Why do this? Imagine yourself as one with all, you are everything, what then? All emotions are as one but what If you split yourself up into individualistic emotional sections with different egos to contend with, you then have individual selves playing out in different realities, you are still one but while you are in these realities you feel individualistic. Could you imagine your higher self-looking at all your individual selves playing out different roles in different realities? Quite an amazing sight I could imagine!!

As far as I can see the critique is that she makes this distinction in an inadequate manner, if at all. Spirituality then becomes an escape mechanism or a means not to deal or engage with worldly problems effectively.

No matter who wins the election, we need a collective leap in consciousness in order to take our country and our world in the direction of peace and love.

I happen to agree with Marianne's view, quoted in the blog. To resolve the massive issues in the world it will take much more than social/political solutions but correcting the problems at the core... rediscovering our true nature and the wisdom and compassion that come from it.

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. - A. Einstein

How do you explain Deja Vu, in the context of Free Will :-)
