Oneness: Encyclopedia - Oneness

Oneness (concept) is related to Enlightenment and is referring to the experience of oneness and nonduality. The concept appears in multiple religious and mystical belief systems/philosophy. Oneness is an attribute of the Christian deity in contradistinction to trinitarianism. Oneness is that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all fully divine (in contrast with the lesser status of Son and Spirit associated with some beliefs), but are expressions of the one God, and not separate persons. Oneness Pentecostalism is a specific sect of Pentecostalism, although others who are not Pentecostals also believe in the 'oneness ...

Oneness: He who cast the first stone probably didn't

Shiites seek revenge on Sunnis for the revenge they sought on Shiites; Irish Catholics retaliate against the Protestants who retaliated against them; Hezbollah and Hamas retaliate against Israel who in turn retaliates back.

In each of these instances, people on one side claim that they are merely responding to provocation and dismiss the other side's identical claim as disingenuous spin. But psychology research suggests that these claims reflect genuinely different perceptions of the same reality.

This article, by Daniel Gilbert professor of psychology at Harvard, gives an understanding to why the conflict in the Middle East can escalate into madness without the parties themselves being aware of their own role.

Oneness: I'm not guilty - but my brain is

Oneness: Find the Oneness Beyond Duality

It is very easy to advise others. Only the one who suffers knows the extent of the pain. At the same time there is no difference between one person'spain and another"s, whether that person is rich or poor.

No philosophy, sermon or concept will help relieve that suffering immediately. It is useful, however, to remember that at the core of any pain-causing conflict there is duality. We are part of a cycle that contains both pain and pleasure, creating a split between mind and body, delaying the healing process.

Duality is all-pervasive; it is present in everything around us. Even that oft-quoted line from Shakespeare reflects this: "To be or not to be".

Oneness: Multiple Ways of Seeing Things

Information is often tailored to fit preconceived notions and stereotypes. In wartime, we repeatedly air scenes of "our side" coming under attack - scenes of the hellish misery inflicted on the citizens of the other country are rarely broadcast.

Dialogue that creates peace with others must first start with an open and earnest "inner dialogue".

It is vital to ask ourselves: Do I accept without question the images provided to me? Ceasing to introspect, we become self-righteous and dogmatic and discourse becomes a one-way street: Unable to hear others, real dialogue becomes impossible.

Oneness: Savour & Preserve Eclectic Heritage

At the Baba Budan Hills in Karnataka, Muslims revere the shrine as their saint's, while Hindus revere him as Lord Dattatreya. The shrine's manager is Muslim. The Haji Malang shrine near Mumbai is managed by Hindus.

Asia is the fusion of many cultures. Great periods of human history are marked by widespread access of spiritual vitality derived from the fusion of national cultures with foreign influences. So intertwined are our faiths that it is a terrible travesty when violence is carried out in the name of any one faith.

Oneness: Rise Above Dogma, Realise The Truth

Oneness: Rise Above Dogma, Realise The Truth

When I pass by the neighbourhood mosque, I bow my head in respect just as I do when I pass by the temple. The mullah's call to the faithful turns me towards prayer and God. I go through the same upsurge of emotions when I visit a church or gurdwara. When I bow my head in humility to Christ and the Guru Granth Sahib, I see in them my beloved Lord Krishna. Similarly, when I hear the Buddhist chant: ''Buddham Sharanam Gachchhami'', it continues to reverberate within me for long after, giving me the same sense of peace I experience when I say my usual prayers.

Oneness: Viveka And Vairagya Dispel Illusion

Neither the body nor the senses are real - these are only instruments of varied expressions and actions associated with the temporal world of Atman , the Divine Self.

It is on realising the Atman that we become aware that we are essentially a fragmented part of the Universal Soul.

The individual consciousness though infinite and one, is manifested in finitude of body and mind. The goal of human life is attaining oneness with the infinite.

Oneness: Dreams Interpretation Dictionary - Numbers

Numbers Dream Symbols

One Dream Symbols:

Unity, oneness (conscious and unconscious integrated).

Two Dream Symbols:

The number two may be a symbol for conflict: for example, between two parts of yourself (which may be represented in the dream by yourself Dream Symbols:

the dream ego and an adversary, or by hostile brothers, sisters, twins).

(2) Two may also symbolize a union or partnership: for example, of conscious and unconscious or masculine and feminine elements in the psyche. Such union or partnership is always fruitful and creative. (In Indian philosophy one is an arid number; two male and female can create. A Hindu god is always represented as two-in-one, a union of male and female).

Three Dream Symbols:

The number three may symbolize completeness and fulfillment; or anything that may contribute to your personal fulfillment for example, the resolving of conflict between two opposing psychic forces.

(2) Jung says three may signify that something is nearly but not quite complete; or that what is lacking in you can be supplied only by some part of your unconscious elf that you find too frightening to acknowledge and use (Even God, he says, is not quite complete without the Devil).

Four Dream Symbols:

Wholeness; the completely integrated human psyche.

Five Dream Symbols:

Five is a number for change (being the next number after four, five is starting over again).

Six Dream Symbols:

May be number for completeness. Six is a multiple of three (same as three). (2) May symbolize conflict.

Seven Dream Symbols:

is also a number for completeness.

(2) The number seven may also signal time for change as in the 'seven year itch".

(3) Sixes and sevens, of course may symbolize conflict.

Eight Dream Symbols:

has the same significance as four, of which it is a multiple: wholeness; the completely integrated human psyche.

(2) It also symbolizes infinity or eternity; or the endless cycle of death and rebirth.

Nine Dream Symbols:

The number nine is a symbol of completeness, may represent personal fulfillment (in Greek mythology the number nine symbolizes the Goddess, the highest personal fulfillment of the feminine psyche).

Ten Dream Symbols:

one and zero; the same as one.{see 432 for more info on the number nine}

All other numbers are either a multiple of numbers already listed, therefore, having the same meaning, or, can be added together to get a number already listed (example, 117 = nine). Look at the personal significance of any number in a dream for its relationship.

The story of the crow determining the number of people entering and leaving a barn is a possible link to the origin of numbers within the psyche of all of Nature's life. The crow (which the farmer wanted to get rid of and which had taken up residence in his barn) could recognize the number of people entering and leaving the barn and knew when all were gone and could re-enter the barn safely. He could do this up to the number of four people. After that, the fifth and beyond, he saw as "many" and when five went into the barn and only four left, he could not determine beyond the number four, thus the fifth person did him in.

Oneness: Your Creator can be Your Best Friend

Two men went into a mango garden. One man started counting the mango trees and the number of fruit each bore and approximate value of the orchard.

The other man went straight to the owner and making his acquaintance was invited by him to pluck and taste the fruit.

One was busy in counting and calculating, the other was enjoying the delicious fruit. Ramakrishna Paramhansa would cite this example to show the difference between the man of dry academics and the man of devotion.

Oneness: New Global Order and Oneness Principle

New Global Order and Oneness Principle

Thirty years ago the historian Arnold Toynbee and Daisaku Ikeda, head of the Japanese Buddhist Soka Gokkai International, discussed at length various pertinent issues, trying to discern the future direction that our world must take if it is to survive these "times of the end".

Toynbee remarks, "...The question of mankind's future religion arises because all the current religions have proved unsatisfactory... A future religion that is to bring into being, and to keep in being, a new civilisation will have to be one that will enable mankind to contend with, and to overcome, the evils that are serious present threats to human survival."

Oneness: Brahmagyan, Mother Of All Knowledge

We are in reality one with God, but the reflection makes us seem many. The reflection must vanish if we are to identify ourselves with our true Divine nature.

What is the nature of this unchangeable Brahman ? He cannot be seen, cannot be sensed. Yet he is the Absolute - from whom everything comes. Like the spokes of a wheel that radiate from the hub, all creation radiates from Him.

Oneness: God of All Things

Animal Rights: God of All Things

All creatures, big and small, are beautiful creations of God. Very often, however, we tend to either ignore the "small" or exploit them for selfish reasons. This is where religion and spirituality can help - to restore to us a holistic perspective so that all of God's creations are given due respect.

Religious thought and spirituality serve a larger purpose only when they find positive expression in action. Theory without implementation is of no use. I fear that the concepts of religion and spirituality are being hijacked by humans for their own selfish purposes, leaving out all the other, equally if not more valid forms of life.
