All is one?

[faoble]

When you guys say this you mean the experience of all of our consciousness being the same one in that other world?

Hi Faoble! What we mean is that the Universal Self (atman) and Ultimate Reality ( Brahman) are one in the same. The greatest illusion is that of separation--believing one is an individual self separate from the world and others. All of the greatest problems humanity faces are problems of lack of compassion, which arise and are carried through because of a feeling of separation.

It is a fact that without others' contributions and kindness one would have had a very very hard time surviving. The interconectedness is more pronounced in todays age of globalism, yet even for forest dwellers there is a reliance on the interconectedness of the world.
