Becoming One?
Sam BlightOur thinking has evolved to deal with a world of apparently separate "things" and the relationships between them. Classical physics reflects this with its atoms like billiard balls and the forces pushing them around like a vast clockwork. Our own "common sense" view of the world seems to confirm this. How amazing then, that when "things" are looked into at very small scales, they start lose their "thingness" and the consciousness of the experimenter can no longer be quarantined from the experiment (if it ever could).
So the scientist's account of reality matches what we find when we cease to reference our thinking as a "guide to what's real" and encounter the suchness of our experience directly. Our personal "thingness" is then seen through as an act of creative (and functionally necessary) imagination. It's not who we really are though: the awake nothing/everything on display here at zero distance, where Seeing is Being.
Do we really need to "become" or "merge into" this? Only mistaking ourselves for some sort of high falutin', physical/mental/emotional "thing" in the first place makes the question possible.

"All is One" seemed to work better as a pointer for me than "there is no one". The pointer there is no one was an invitatation for the separte self to try hard to be nothing or no one and to disengage from content. All is One helped me realize that everything is the One in diversification. It was only when I realized this that the Love that everyone was talking about and that I seemed to be missing started to flow in. Everything is Consciousness, the Seeing of it and the being of it.
