Just for the sake of it,let's play a game:
Imagine the Universe, the whole "sky" would have eyes, mouth and emotions like us, humans.
The Universe knows everything is within itself and is not separated from anything. Yet, with physical eyes, it can choose to stare/observe in a certain direction , on a specific pattern of energy. Let's say it keeps its eyes on Pain, so it would become aware of the pain, but the more it looks at the pain, the more it gets lost in that energy, forgetting that within itself there's also Love, Healing, Wonder energy. If it would see the power of healing and Love, it could easily say "Let me bring Love and Healing into this other (Pain) area too". The Universe wouldn't see itself as "poor" or "unlucky" or "ugly" or "needy". Because it knows everything is within itself.

The very same way, we can focus with our physical eyes and react, and identify ourselves with what we don't want/like, or we can use our mind/imagination, to create the best version of ourselves and give Love and Healing into areas of our lives where there's lack of it.

Here's a great read that I like to reflect on frequently. https://scottbarrykaufman.com/what-would-happen-if-everyone-truly-believed-everything-is-one/ #selfcare #oneness

the wagon tracks - Joan Miró

something about when you live in a place, it becomes banal or ordinary, you get irritated about things that you don't like, or you associate it with being stuck or unhappy or tired, whatever, negative circumstances of your life are tied up in your experience of where-you-are.

Whereas artists can sometimes bring the place back up in their art, elevate it, remind you of its beauty. Sometimes. If that's what they're going for.

« Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web. »

— Marcus Aurelius

What's the difference between unity and Oneness? Would you use these two terms interchangeably? I'm not a native speaker of English. There's only one word for both in my mother tongue, but I love having the choice in English. To me 'unity' suggests harmony and a very strong bond, whereas 'Oneness' is conscious identity. A marriage, for example, could be a long-lasting and fulfilling unity of two people without the epiphany of eternal Oneness ever reaching them. But I could be wrong. I've googled both words and found some articles on Christian blogs about the differences. According to them, Oneness is reserved for Oneness with God. Although I'm not a Christian, I would agree that Oneness is ultimately identity with the One. However, I believe that we can find this identity with, or rather IN, each other and don’t need to have a preconceived notion of God to do so. Let me know your thoughts!
