We all seek happiness, health and wealth. We all want to love and be loved. We all naturally want to give our best and become successful, however we may choose to define success.
This means that we all want to be in a better state than we are now in. Perhaps thats why we set goals.
But if we move away from our seperate state and desires for a moment, and consider the whole of humanity as One being, and we are a part of that One being, then things can look very different.
Collectively, humanity as a whole is very abundant. All of the wealth and material objects in the world, as one, is simply staggering! If the true reality of humanity is really One being, we can say that the reality, the Truth, is that there is absolute abundance and not scarcity.
Collectively, humanity as a whole is an ongoing life force. Collectively humanity as a whole does not die. If the true reality of humanity is really One being, we can say that the reality, the Truth, is that there is no death.
We can apply the same thinking to lots of other apparent lacks and even disease.
If the true reality of humanity is One being, there is wholeness, abundance, health and, I guess, much more happiness. We can only Love one another, in such a reality, because we are each other in reality!
The problems of the world start when we believe that the reality is that we are not One being but billions of seperate individual beings.
That's when scarcity, lack, disease, poverty, competitiveness and violence occur.
The thought of Oneness is not new for Eastern spiritual and religious traditions, especially the Hindu, but it is a relatively new, but growing,thought for many Westerners.
I was told, if a new thought or concept appeals, try it. If it fades away - that's fine. If it stays and works and even grows, then let it be.
The thought of Oneness, interconnectivity, interdependance etc certainly works for me.
