Re: How ‘Love’ and ‘Oneness’ Teachings Are Used to Disempower people.
Oneness, to me, is not a concept thats hard to see, I guess. And Its not just something I think of exclusively in a spiritual sense....
I mean, even at least half of the scientific community believes in the big bang theory, right? Well, if we all came from that single dot and then exploded from there, we ARE all part of the same thing then. Right? "birthed from the same mother" if you will...or raindrops from the same cloud.
Anyway.....
I dont feel that its a detriment to rely on love and the belief in oneness. The oneness to me is just a given and always has been and the same is with the love. I dont blindly walk around shutting everything else out. I wouldnt be where I am today were i to partake in such blind faith. I am not living drunk on fantasies that everyone here wants love and oneness nor do I expect them to return what i give out. At the same time, what I believe has only ever helped me. I am being of service to myself because I enjoy giving/loving/serving others.
IT IS a detriment, however, to walk around close-minded and never be open to what resonates with you. The beauty of the world is that we can believe whatever the heck we want! I like the fact that everyone sees through their own glasses. The world would be boring without it.
Plus? The best part is that all we have to do is BE. This part of our "life" is not meant for understanding. I dont have to know how the sun works to know that it will indeed grow my crops and warm my skin and bring light. If it works for you, then just run with it. Its not fair to say that what works for others, but doesnt work for you, is a "downfall" of that line of thinking. If it doesnt work for you, pass it on to those that find it nourishing and helpful.
To each his own, indeed. I enjoyed this thread thoroughly. It interesting to see how different people explain it or how different people feel about it. It not only gives me more direction, but compounds my spirituality even more so due to knowing what I DONT believe.
Thanks! And whether you use it or not, Love and Light to all!
