How we Align, the Principle of Oneness as Unifying Naturally

Parmenides argued that change is an illusion and that reality is eternal, unchanging, and indivisible. For Parmenides, Oneness was not merely a concept but the very essence of being itself as timeless and ethereal entity that underpins all existence. Heraclitus saw the world as a flux itself in constancy, ‘state in state’ of perpetual change. For Heraclitus, Oneness was not stagnation but dynamic harmony, the underlying principle that governs the ebb and flow of life; even encompassing the greatest of extremes. Two extremely divergent ideas unified in their agreement in Oneness.

In the ancient Indo-Aryan tradition, the highest God (“the ultimate reality”; ‘Brahman’) is seen as non-dual (‘Advaita’), beyond all distinctions and differentiations. The individual self (‘Atman’) is not separate from God but imperfectly identical to it. This unity is not merely metaphysical; it is experiential: consciousness where the boundaries between self and others are realigned into a peaceful, non-discordant, and harmonious balance. The path towards that balance often encompasses extremes, however.

Unity is not a passive state but actually an active principle; the dynamic force that binds and unifies the cosmos. It is the thread that runs through every strand of existence, connecting all things in a vast, interconnected web. Consider the analogy of a symphony, where each instrument plays its unique part, yet together they create a harmonious whole. Oneness is both the conductor and the composition: the singular force that orchestrates the grand symphony of life.

It is to ignite the internal projection of Universal Order, aligning self with all as perfection (verb) of personality. Similarly, it is also to ignite the projection of natural community out into the cultural presentation, so that our full voices can be heard in concert. Oneness is synonymous with divinity: the ultimate reality that permeates all things. This divine unity is the source and sustainer of existence itself.

Lost to many Christian traditions, theosis is union with God: a mystical marriage where the soul merges with the divine spirit. This unity is not an abstraction but a living, breathing reality: an experiential knowledge that transforms the individual from within. Oneness is the essence of love: the binding force that draws all things towards each other. God is not a distant deity but an intimate presence, the Greatest Lover, our only additional Father, whose call resonates through every heart even if battered down and abused against Him by lies.

There exists a deeper unity beneath the surface of phenomena. All things arise and pass away in relation to environment and others, part of an intricate web where no single thread can be pulled without affecting the whole. What does this spiritual journey reveal about Oneness? Unity is a divine presence that permeates every aspect of existence, which can only happen naturally. It is the love that binds, the spirit that sustains, and the consciousness that unifies. Consider the analogy of a garden; where each plant, flower, and creature plays its part in the ecosystem. Oneness is the invisible hand that tends this garden: the divine Gardener who nurtures and harmonises all things. He loves you more than you can know.
