We are all "one"

Whatever we think of, wherever we are, no matter our allegiances, at base we are all "one". Thinking of just the latest disasters - Morocco and Libya - or the various Religions and Creeds, even our various shades of colour. At base, first thought, fundamental assumption - we are all "one". Of infinite variety, but "one".

Once that thought is firmly in place, then we can perhaps see the beautiful diversification of humanity without negative judgements. We can also extend our mind/hearts to embrace all sentient beings.

As one joker once said:- You can divide the world into two kinds of people - those that divide the world into two kinds of people and those who don't.

And such will it always be. What comes to.one will come to all. "And all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."

Thomas Merton:-

True communication on the deepest level is more than a simple sharing of ideas, conceptual knowledge, or formulated truth. The kind of communication that is necessary at this level must also be “communion”: beyond the level of words, a communion in authentic experience which is shared not only on a “preverbal” level but also on a “postverbal” level......... And the deepest level of communication is not communication, but communion. It is wordless. it is beyond words, and it is beyond speech, and it is beyond concept. Not that we discover a new unity. We discover an older unity. My dear brothers and sisters we are already one. But we imagine that we are not. And what we have to recover is our original unity. What we have to be is what we are.
