Are we separate or one?

[utopiandreamchild]

I think if we really wanted to be united we would love each other and stop the fussing and fighting.
Also a unified government would be beneficial too.

There are the two key concepts in Indian Hinduism called Atman and Brahman.

Atman means self or ego. Once we detach from Atman, we are one with Brahman or the Universe. Nothing is really separate or isolate. We are all one family, one spiritual heart that beats in unison.

Past, present and future, spiritual and material, You and me, are all part of the same family. If all people would understand this, there would be neither killing nor stealing anymore in the world. Sometimes I have the feeling we as humanity had a little more brains 1000 years ago than today. The only thing that increased is the reasons to worry about our existence and technology. Whatever we hold fundamental, spiritually speaking, has been there for far longer.

I suggest you read more about the japanese martial art Aikido 合气道, as the core value at the center of this life philosophy is harmony with the person next to you. We are one big family, and its up to us wheather we become a happy or unhappy one. Everything is interconnected

And beyond. And to learn in other levels. Are there other levels (blankets). Right now we are at a level and do you want to be separate. Do we love being separate. Is it fun. I agree with child asking is it what one wants. Do we see what (why) we want.

But the number of 8 billion is not complete in any way. Do we not return to the same level because we wish to. There being others levels all part of the whole. We create within the level. I agree with post 61 in spirit.
