Chapter 1 What is the Oneness?

A Parable

Jonah was thirty years old when his transport reached its destination. He had been travelling for 180 Earth years. His trip had taken what would have measured on earth about eight months. When a ship surpasses the speed of light by so much, eight times, time seems to cease to exist. The transport held only one human passenger, it was primarily a cargo ship for the newest of the human outreach posts. Jonah was a lone pilot, more like a monitor, whereas the ship is quite capable of piloting itself. He had enjoyed the extended solitude, there isn’t much opportunity for that in the network. Humans, 450 years ago had developed a cyber-space like network where all humans minds became connected in a giant internet sort of annex world. Of course it was completely wireless and had great range. The only true respite from it was in deep space. His eyes were wide as he flashed into the planetary system that contained Chantara.

Chantara’s planetary size is a about double when compared to Earth. It is very similar in the environment of plants and animals except they seem a little stouter from what seems to be an evolutionary adaptation from the stronger gravitational pull. There were no humanoid equivalents that had been detected on that planet. Jonah had been there twice before. There were no Earth residents yet living on this outpost, as it was still being outfitted. Jonah would drop off the sixty-thousand tonnes of payload off, to the mechanized beings that were assembling the initial housing, and manufacturing plants. By the time the first load of settlers, 200,0000, men, women, and children arrived there would be a completely self sustaining city there for them to move into. In the past 250 years humans had successfully relocated close to nine billion people on other planets. Chantara was just another in that growth of settlements.

Humans had expected for hundreds of years to encounter a life form as advanced as them, or more so, but had not. It seemed inevitable. As far as they could tell the universe was infinite and eternal. The odds were completely against humans being alone as “intelligent” life forms. Jonah had given up looking for them on his long trips, finding them was kind of his one of his original motivations of doing the kind of work he was. Actually Jonah had become quite disgusted of late, with how he saw his kind selfishly devouring the habitable universe like some virus or plague. He had done a lot of thinking about how he might be able to stay out in this new outpost and have no one else follow. He had thought of it on his last trip, this time it was a real urge.

After he was mostly done his checklist of items to do during the unloading procedure, Jonah couldn’t keep himself to task. He was entirely distracted by this urge…or notion. He stopped what he was doing and went to the central communications station. He had decided to send a message back in the empty ship claiming that something had corroded or devoured their previous work. He stated that he was erring on the side of caution by staying on Chantara. “There may be a contagion present that I cannot risk exposing the populace to,” he spoke valiantly into the holo-recorder. He sent the empty ship back.

The settlement was almost complete. Everything he needed to live for another 500 years was here. He had all the new medical equipment and androids available. All the food producing equipment to support half a million people were in place. Entertainment, holo-rooms and anything a human could desire. Just no real human interactions. Life was quite merry for quite sometime. Jonah had created a small community of virtual friends in the holo-reality. There wasn’t much that he couldn’t do. He spent about forty years like that. His body aged about six months.

Then one day completely out of left field he was struck with what seemed like a horrible instant eye infection. It was not an infection. Infection had been obliterated for hundreds of years anyways. Somebody or something had put something in him that was modifying his genetics. His sensory tooling was being adjusted for him. His eyes, ears, nose, taste, and ears were all being genetically overhauled. He became incapacitated for the better part of a week. The medical protocol program within the settlement had sent androids to retrieve him and brought him to the medi-room. He was tended to there for the next week. His eyes had, grown, and become mostly dark. His ears had fallen off and he had just small flaps, like gills there. His nose shrank enormously and he was left with only a small slit of a mouth. His cranial case had increased in size, by a third.

When he had become completely conscious, Jonah arose from his bed. He saw and felt and heard things that were not there before. He could perceive the molecular flow of particles and atoms in the true fluid state flowing in and out of their “solid” forms. He saw and heard other beings that existed in the “new” dimension he was now privy to with his sensory changes. He instinctively knew they were always there…he was now equipped to see them. He was not afraid, he knew he was one of them.


A Teaching

For all of mankind’s existence humans have attempted to understand, please and develop rituals and rites to better appease their gods. From primitive spiritual tradition, to giant dogmatic religious organizations, all have almost forgotten the true nature of “God”, and how we fit into “God”. Many religions have become huge power structures with immense political and social influence. These organizations are filled with egocentric clergy and followers; thus the institutions are bound to be filled with egocentric tendencies. They are often some of the most disruptive and destructive groups of the world. They are also playing one of the key roles in developing the collective madness. Many humans are in a time in history, where being spoon fed their realities is no longer acceptable. These transitional human beings require truth. The irony of many religions is that their claimed intent is to reveal truth, and they often are instrumental in concealing it. What is introduced in this book is not another dogma… it is merely a conversation of what is. As you read the following, let the words, thoughts and ideas awaken the essence in you. You already know the truth. You may not, at this time, make any real sense of it… that’s ok. You may not be ready. Those who are not ready may throw the book off to the side saying “what a bunch of crap” Its ok. Some of you are not ready to let go of the illusion you have built. Some may be upset by how I speak, within this book. You may not care for how it may seem judgmental. I am speaking not to your mind or to your ego; I am speaking to the true godly nature that is in all of you. To the whole being that you already are; that nature, or truth in you will receive this and awaken. It is Oneness. You are Oneness.

The Oneness is the infinite whole, that comprises all space, matter, anti-matter, and all dimensions. I am the one. You are the One. The cat in the litter box is the One. The litter is the One. The stars are, the Christ is, the Buddha and the tree he sat beneath are the One. The Oneness includes every movement, energy, life form, stone, molecule, light wave, sound, feeling, memory; every unnamed and undiscovered form as well. The One is truly in itself with out form. The One had no beginning and has no end. The One has always been and will always be. The One is. The One is everything and nothing.

An exercise to meditate on the Truth of Oneness is to imagine a time lapsed observation of the events since the last Big Bang until now. Consider the enormity of the event, of all that is visible in our presently detectable universe, all emerging in infinite explosiveness from a point with almost infinite mass, and only the size of a tiny fraction of the head of a pin. To see that event as a intermediary source of all that we experience in this present moment. The oceans, fish, plants, wind, fire, stars, planets, and space all emanated from that place 13.7 billon years ago(+/- 200 million years). Imagine the energy and matter rushing though space; novas, gasses and such forming into stars, galaxies, and solar systems. Speed through to the formation of the Earth and it’s several stages of development as it cools to a violent volcanic barren rock and visualise the formation of oceans. Picture life emerging from the “primordial sludge”; evolving algae to plant and to animal. Understand how one ingests the other infusing the energy and matter of the prey into the body of the predator. See how the plants grow and are created from the minerals in the soil and the energy of the sun combined with water. The plant is a new form created from the material and energy of “others”. There is a fluid transformation in the cycle of birth and death. Smile as you recognise that dust of stars, the light of the Universe, is you one in the same. All energy and matter is indestructible it only changes form and position. The same Oneness has shifted, morphed and interchanged since - forever and it always will. You are the same One as the stone and the air. You are the tree. You are your brother and enemy. You are the Sun and the Moon. You are everything. Devine. You are divine. You are the One! We all are. The humans are just six billion expressions of the One.

There is only One. Individuality and separateness exists only in the perception of a human. This is the root of ego. The misconception that a human is isolated from the Oneness is what is forgotten in the process of growing up in the collective madness that pervades the current civilization. When a human is first born there is only completeness… Oneness. Until fear is experienced, until the need for acceptance is created, until suffering becomes the subtext of paradigm the human baby is at One with the Oneness. When a human looks at anything as if he and it are not of the same collective he is denying the truth of Oneness. This denial creates an inner conflict that is experienced both consciously and unconsciously. This is where “individual expressions” (individual humans) contribute to the collective madness. This madness will lose its grip on the population when enough “individual expressions” realize the truth of the Oneness and surrender to it.

The Oneness is God. Not limited to the God of mythical beardedness pointing down at man and the world from His cloudy loft, but the entire Oneness, the eternal Oneness of which you belong by default. God is said to be all or nothing…you are included in all. Jesus knew the Truth. He walked the Earth and endeavoured to share that Truth. He had surrendered to the Oneness. He called it the Father, and he was His Son. He spoke and taught of a trinity within the One. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of the Oneness. The Spirit is sent to fill those who receive Christ and the Truth.

Siddartha Buddha when he was a wealthy prince experienced a inner conflict that caused him to shed his title and wealth to pursue enlightenment. Enlightenment is only the realisation of the Truth. He studied with the Brahmans and was left still unrealized . He finally came to meditate beneath a bodhi tree until he was able to realize his true Buddha nature, which always was within him and accept the Truth of the Oneness. He needed only to remove the misconception he had gathered through out life that acted as a veil between he and true awareness.

Christ and Buddha were only two of the many realized teachers. They are widely known and immensely followed. They were clear strong voices of the One. Though most of our world claim to be disciples or followers of one of the great and Devine teachers most have not truly let go of the “collective madness”. The teachings and the names have even been incorporated in to the mass delusion which is responsible for war, starvation and Eco-destruction. Popular religious Icons are only a few of those who are in the Truth. Many more realized humans have lived and live now, they are growing in numbers. As the percentage of realized Ones grows the grip the collective madness will lessen; when all become Conscious to the Oneness.

The Oneness is always present. It is unavoidable. It is beyond words concepts and forms. The only way to live aware of your true nature is to Be. To surrender into the present. One cannot be in Oneness and fearful at the same time. Love and fear are not really opposites, fear is the response to the lack of Truth. Oneness is even more than love. Love is the recognition of Oneness seeing Oneness. You experience Love when you look at a stranger and see God, the One, yourself, the whole. When you feel connected to the stars that is love. When you hear the collective One voice in the lyrics of a song, that is Love. When you forget yourself in the union of a great conversation You are loving. When you are in true acceptance and totally in the present moment you cannot help but respond with Love.

Some experience fleeting moments of Oneness and never gain peace ongoing. It is what keeps them from total insanity. It is sadder to be caught in between bliss and suffering than to be totally insane. Suffering is only denial of the Truth. That you are the One. That God is always in you.
