Great article Kris. I concur with your thoughts on Truth. The concept of "oneness" is ubiquitous throughout all cultures in all epochs of "time", because that's the truth of our UNI-VERSE...oneness, which to me signifies God Consciousness.

The brilliance in the DESIGN of our Universe lies in the fact that an infinite amount of creations can exist all UNIQUE from one another and yet all made from the EXACT SAME material (Atoms), and all connected back to source. Thus, together, these "creations" manifest the sum of the parts...the whole...the ONE. Plus, no creation can ever get it "wrong" with anything that they "do" because no matter what we create individually, it instantaneously becomes a reflection of the whole.

Therefore, this insanity that exists within organized society to JUDGE everyone and everything is not only segregating and counterproductive, it's an oxymoron of sorts, as you simply cannot judge the relative merits of an individual expression when it's actually part of everything in the moment. The comment, "you and your ideas suck" implies not only a moral or structural superiority but also a sense of separation or disconnection between the "Judgor" and the "Judgee", which simply cannot exist. Perhaps the most suitable and accurate comment to make to another's creation is, "thank you for your individual contribution to all that is"?

To me, the pursuit of Truth is the pursuit of what is...and that's the realization that in the exact moment of true self-awareness, comes the understanding that we are ALL CONNECTED as the one...the God of all that is! And while you and I may discover this haphazardly on our own, it will be extremely difficult for any global movement of AWARENESS to occur until such time that the our patterns and goals of Education radically change to reflect this TRUTH!

Again, thanks for posting such a well-thoughout and important article Kris! Namaste.
