WE ARE ONE...What does that mean?

"Law of One (Oneness) -- All that exists is part of God."

"Chief Seattle was quoted as saying, "Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect!"

I found this online and I thought it summed up the law well:


"In Chapter '1', we defined the concept/philosophy of 'Oneness'. Briefly, this school of thought believes that all particles of all multi-dimensional realities are fragments of the consciousness of the Creator. That the Creator is internal not external. Therefore, by this philosophy, the forces of 'Good' and 'Evil' stem from the same source, the Creator. Well, this is not exactly true in the literal sense. At the level of the Godhead, these forces are perceived as different intensities of the same energy. God places no judgment on what kind of energy it is, man is the one who does. Now, perhaps some of you are ready to tear up these sheets! How could God actually create 'Evil', God is perfect? The answer lies in the Law of Free Will, defined as the right for all of God's creations to decide for themselves, how they wish to exist, how they wish to grow and search for communion with the Creator. This Law also implies that each child of God should respect the free will of their brothers and sisters. For God created all his manifestations or expressions of Him/Herself to be of service to each other, since each part, in truth, is an extension of all other parts. Thus, the concept of 'Evil' comes from Man not following the Law of Free Will and pretending that God is not within him. By the Law of Free Will, he may chose any belief system or philosophy he chooses. Since man is a part of the consciousness of God, and has created the concept and performs the action of Evil, then we can say that 'Evil' comes from the creator. But 'Evil' and 'Good' are balancing forces, there is total harmony in the universe because these forces are in perfect balance!"
..."Many great teachers or advanced souls have come to Earth, to remind us of the God presence within and our God-like powers. Jesus said: "Ye are Gods, what I can do, you can do and more!" (not exact, paraphrased). Other teachers like the Buddha or Krishna shared similar messages. As a matter of fact, if one studies, really studies, the roots of all religions and philosophies, you will see they all contain the same basic foundation. Teachers like Jesus were bent to Earth to be examples of the Truth, not to start a new religion. Man did that. When God created his children, he gave them total abundance. He did not conceive that his children would ignore the harmony of His simple laws of Love and unlimited freedom of expression and choose to follow a path of pain and suffering, just by forgetting that they were Divine. God does not want his children to be unhappy. It is man who chooses not to listen to the God within, not to take responsibility for his actions."

I love the idea that we're all 'gods & goddesses'. Even St Paul (not known for his liberal bent) says, 'Know ye not that ye are Gods..'
It's time we live up to our inheritance.

I think so many of us were fed that we are less than...our minds, souls and hearts are less than Divine. We are taught that in church and in school...so we have to undo all the damage when we are ready to move forward in life with a new perspective. I think it helps to realize God is in your thoughts and experiencing your reality as His/Her own.

I really really like Chief Seattle's quote. It's beautiful.

I agree with you both that we're taught to not appreciate the god/goddesses within ourselves. The crux of religion is that we have to seek external assistance, when quite often if we can hone, our assistance is internal.

I really like these blogs. I feel like I lost my way a year or so ago, but I feel that the more I read and ponder the more "back on-track" I'm getting. Thanks!

Hi,

actually Jesus never said "we are gods".

Satan did say that we may be like gods, (which is pretty close to "we are gods").

Read here if you are interested.

Welcome to the group, Inter-Obriy.
My quote was from St Paul, not Jesus. But everyone is entitled to his or her thought.Also, I do not believe in 'Satan'.. so there goes that thought, (for me, anyway).
The Bible has been so bastardized w/ changing languages, alterations in meanings, etc.. it's hard to know what the original idea was. But I do hope to maintain a 'Christ-consciousness' & be open to his message. I do believe that was his main plan.. to be a messenger for good.

We can go round and round with opinions and differing religions, history has taught us that. I believe what was meant is that because we are of God....we are all One.
We can get sooo lost in the dogma and I choose not to do that in this forum. It is meant to nourish spirits, not berate them...there are too many people who try to do that already.
