The term "Year One" can just mean the beginning of something, but in political history it usually refers to the institution of radical, revolutionary change. This usage dates from the time of the French Revolution: after the abolition of the French monarchy (September 20, 1792), the National Convention instituted the new French Revolutionary Calendar, declaring that date as the beginning of the Year I of the French Republic. Frank Miller adopted this terms for his his highly praised graphic novel Batman: Year One. This graphic novel firmly established the expression Year One, ...

One By itself the One represents not pure unalloyed spirit, which is signified by the zero -- the all-containing womb of space and being -- but is the First Logos or Pythagorean Monas monadum (monad of monads). From this monad of monads flows forth through emanation the duad, then the triad, and then the entire manifested universe of interlocking hierarchies, emanated from the cosmic womb of being or the zero through the First Logos or the One of primordial manifested spirit.

"The sacredness of numbers begins with the great First -- the one, and ends only with the nought or zero -- symbol of the infinite and boundless circle which represents the universe. All the intervening figures, in whatever combination, or however multiplied, represent philosophical ideas, from vague outlines down to a definitely-established scientific axiom, relating either to a moral or a physical fact in nature. They are a key to the ancient views on cosmogony, in its broad sense, including man and beings, and the evolution of the human race, spiritually as well as physically" (IU 2:407).

The circle, zero, or nought is the symbol of the All, equivalent to Non-being, in contradistinction to being or the number One. With the Pythagoreans number One was equivalent to the cosmic monad, the Odd: odd numbers were considered by them to be perfect or celestial and the even numbers imperfect, manifested, or terrestrial. The cosmic One, the First Logos, alone was cosmic unity and therefore good and harmony, because no disharmony is to be found in the unitary One alone.

Yet "in all such numerical divisions the One universal Principle, -- although referred to as (the) one, because the Only One -- never enters into the calculations. It stands, in its character of the Absolute, the Infinite, and the universal abstraction, entirely by Itself and independent of every other Power whether noumenal or phenomenal" (SD 2:598). Here the cosmic One is intimately intertwined with the universal zero, the last being equivalent to the universal All. Analogies in different systems of thought are numerous; for instance, the cosmic zero corresponds to parabrahman-mulaprakriti, whereas the cosmic One or monad corresponds to Brahman.

Bahá'ís believe in that there is one supuernatural being, God, who has created all the creatures and forces in the universe. In Bahá'í belief God is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfect. Bahá'ís believe that, although people have different concepts of God and his nature, and call him by different names, everyone is speaking of the same one Being. Bahá'u'lláh writes on this subject: "All-praise to the unity of God, and all-honour to Him, the sovereign Lord, the incomparable and all-glorious Ruler of the universe, Who, out ...

The Bahá'í writings teach that there is but one humanity and all people are equal in the sight of God. The Bahá'í Faith emphasizes the unity of humanity transcending all divisions of race, nation, gender, caste, and social class, while celebrating its diversity. `Abdu'l-Bahá states that the unification of mankind has now become "the paramount issue and question in the religious and political conditions of the world." The Bahá'í writings affirm the biological, political, and spiritual unity of mankind. Bahá'u'lláh wrote: < ...

One Hundred and One Dalmatians - Production. The film signaled a change in the graphic style of Disney's animation. This occurred with the introduction of Xerography which eased graphic reproduction requirements, but at the price of being unable to deviate from a scratchy outline style because of the technology's limitations. Although Walt Disney disliked this development, the look would be the norm for years until the technology improved by the time of the production of The Rescuers to allow a softer look.

First introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception, The One Being is considered to be the origin of each of the six Realms of Mortal Kombat (Earthrealm, Netherrealm, Outworld, Orderrealm, Chaosrealm, and Edenia). According to ancient legend, in the beginning of time, there only existed the One Being and the Elder Gods. The One Being, in his foolish pride, declared war on the Elder Gods in attempt to gain ultimate power. Eventually, the Elder Gods defeated the One Being, and, in efforts to weaken the One Being's omnipotence, the Elder ...

Although Tolkien always strongly held that his works should not be seen as a metaphor for anything, and especially not for the political events of his time (for instance WWII or the Cold War; note that much of The Lord of the Rings was written prior to and during World War II and well before the Cold War), many people have felt an urge to see the One Ring as a symbol or metaphor for various things. Among them are atomic energy and the atomic bomb, which would both be anachronistic, as the Ring was invented in the late 1930s, and the a ...

At the time of the universe's creation, there were the One Being, and the Elder Gods. The One Being, arrogant as a result from its nigh-omnipotence, foolishly declared war on the Elder Gods. In order to defeat the One Being, the Elder Gods created the Kamidogu and with it, they shattered its consciousness, creating what is now called existence. For aeons, the One Being's subconscious remained in a dormant state. It is unknown if the Dragon King was the first to serve the One Being's purposes, but because of Onaga's hunger for power, O ...

The principle of unity is very highly emphasized in the Bahá'í writings. One of the most common quotes of Bahá'u'lláh is "So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth." (Gleanings, p. 288) These three principles of unity reflect a unity between themselves.
