The difference between oneness and dualism.
Dualism is also known as separation. It means everything you experience in your life is perceived as external to yourself.
For example the table, chair, your loud neighbour, creepy crawlies, or pigeons that keep pooping on your car. These are all circumstances that one could perceive upon as something that is separate to themselves.
Is there a benefit to this modality of thought? No.
It is in our human condition to separate things from ourselves because we are wired in such a way where our logical mind makes sense of everything experienced through what we visually see. When we do this, it causes suffering.
Fundamentally at the core of what all things in reality is made of are molecules of energy taking form in different shapes and sizes. The acknowledgment of this is what gives rise to the experience of oneness.
The experience of oneness can also be termed as God, the Divine, Source, Spirit, or ‘The Way’ – a synchronistic alignment of oneself with all experiences is one’s reality.
Is there a benefit to the experience of oneness? Yes. This is the point in which suffering ends and freedom begins.
“It is impossible to follow the way if you believe in dualism.”
Lord Buddha, The Sutra of Forty-two Sections
