Let’s Unite Across Difference
The call to action is to overcome our division.
Yes, OURS, not “theirs.”
The call to action is NOT to double down on our certainty that WE are right and THEY are wrong.
The call to action is to unite across difference and to embrace Oneness.
Oneness is not a meaningless abstraction or a lofty ideal. It’s not unattainable or out of reach.
Oneness is the truth of our reality.
We have had this concealed from us.
We have been divided and conquered.
To walk as Oneness, BE A BRIDGE.
Be a lantern.
Unlearn the default of “Separation Consciousness.”
Refuse to be cordoned off from one another and put into categories.
It’s a false notion that our differences are barriers to harmony.
It’s a false notion…
That WE are right…
And THEY are wrong.
In fact, it’s the height of irony, this idea that WE are right and THEY are wrong.
For it’s shared by both WE and THEY.
It’s shared in common!
In other words…
WE and THEY are One.
The path of Oneness takes us on a quest.
In this quest, we take in the intrinsic connectedness of everything.
We honor the vast webbing of all that is.
We track how EVERYTHING is derivative and co-created and co-constituted.
We notice that everything exists in relation to everything else…
and thus would not exist at all if not in relation.
Everything is interrelated, intersecting, and interactive.
Oneness is WITHIN us.
For a vast universe we are.
We are each a cosmos unto ourselves.
We are each a microcosm of the larger Oneness that exists outside of ourselves.
We are a Oneness of one… that adds to the larger macro*cosmic* Oneness of ALL that is.
Oneness is you.
The parts you embrace and the parts you reject.
All of you.
Good, bad, ugly, and beautiful.
AND Oneness is infinitely vaster than you.
Oneness is you and it’s not merely you.
It’s every possibility… every iteration… and every manifestation of reality.
Hence Oneness isn’t some exalted, purified, glossed-over state.
Oneness is a radical acceptance of “what is.”
The fabulous and the flawed.
Within and outside of us.
That radical acceptance enables a harmonization of ALL the facets of life.
Yin/Yang.
Dark/Light.
Order/chaos.
No judgment.
No higher or lower.
Love + Oneness,
Naomi
