by Michael Corthell What does my statement 'I am you, and you are me', mean? It means to me that we, you and I, as well as all living beings, are functions of, and manifestations of the entirety of the Universe and therefore are of the same 'ONE spirit' - a spirit that not only permeates but is the first cause and driving force of the Universe.  In short we and all there is - the entire mass and energy of the Cosmos are expressions of the Universe itself and this is what is meant by 'holy'. “Every individual is a unique manifestation of the Whole[or the One], as every branch is a particular outreaching of the tree.” – Alan Watts If you agree or at least find this concept of a single uniting spirit of the Cosmos intriguing please contact me, either via direct message on social media. In the video below my mentor, the late Alan Watts explains further:   ''I am you and you are me. All is ONE, We are ONE.'' You see the universe is one single living

“Interbeing: If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are. “Interbeing” is a word that is not in the dictionary yet, but if we combine the prefix “inter-” with the verb “to be,” we have a new verb, inter-be. Without a cloud and the sheet of paper inter-are. If we look into this sheet of paper even more deeply, we can see the sunshine in it. If the sunshine is not there, the forest cannot grow. In fact, nothing can grow. Even we cannot grow without sunshine. And so, we know that the sunshine is also in this sheet of paper. The paper and the sunshine inter-are. And if we continue to look, we can see the logger who cut the tree and brought it to the mill to b

by Alan Watts [on spiritual awaking] - So be careful of that. Jung calls it inflation; people who get the 'holy man syndrome.' That I’ve suddenly discovered that I’m the lord and that I am above good and evil and so on. And that therefore I start giving myself airs and graces.  But the point is that everybody else is too. If you discover that you’re there you ought to know that everyone else is. Well, for example, let’s see how in other ways you might realize this. Most people think when they open their eyes and look around, that what they are seeing is outside, it seems doesn’t it that you are behind your eyes. And that behind the eyes there is a blank that you can’t see at all; you turn around and you see something in front of you. But behind the eyes, there seems to be something that has no color, it isn’t dark, and it isn’t light. It’s there from a tactile standpoint; you can feel it with your fingers, although you don’t get inside it. Well than what is it that’s behind yo

  Jesus, came into his physical body with the awareness that he was a subset of God or God incarnate. He of course understood The Law of Divine Oneness ( plus all Universal Laws ) and called himself the Son of God.  He taught, '' I can assure you that whoever believes in me(what I teach) will do the same things I have done. And they will do even greater things than I have done because I am going to the Father.   And if you ask for anything in my name, I will do it for you. Then the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son.   If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it... All who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. My Father and I will come to them and live with them. '' He also said,  “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” He points to the disciples and says, “Here are my mother and my brothers.  For whoever does the will of my father in heaven is my brother and sister  and mother.”   Finally,  God, the Source, or the One is made

We and all things are indeed all one — in substance and in spirit. Humanity at large does not understand this yet and that is the cause of nearly all the suffering in our world today.

“All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind,  because oneness is the secret of everything.” ― Swami Vivekananda A s a practical matter, if we want to preserve our planet's ability to provide a viable, life sustaining ecosystem, we all must come to understand that all lives are connected, and interrelated. We must understand that what we think, what we say, what we do, and what we believe has a corresponding effect on others, and the entire universe. “Technology is destructive only in the hands of people  who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe. ” ― Alan Watts
