I've had an experience that made me experience everything as being one.(And, No I was not doing drugs!)

I don't know what I experienced, but it was as if All is One.

I don't know if it was a divine experience, or if my brain had a hallucination, but I know I had it.


Because of this experience, I have done som deducing based on that experience.

One is: All is equal to the Eye of God. If all is One, and the one is "God", then all is equal to God. Just like I value my liver as much as I value my heart, because they are One with who I Am, so I value a liver the same as my heart, because the are One with who I am. My Existance is not possible without either(metaphorically speaking!!!). They serve their own purpose, but each purpose is needed for me to exist.

I value humans more, since I can communicate with them. laugh with them and love with them. But I value all humans equally because all is One, and a part of who I am.

Time is pointless when all is One, "afterlife" loses it's meaning, because Now is all there Is.

Death loses it's meaning, we are only on a different stage in life. Meaning that noone dies, because All is part of the One.

God Loves each of us as if there was only one of us - St. Augustine

I don't know what "God" Is, and I don't know if "God" is a word that can beused to describe what it Is, but the above quote makes sense, if All is one. And if all is equal to th eye of God, then to be closer to God, I will adopt a similar thought pattern, because my own experience points to it. I still don't know if in fact that is what it Is!!!

Hell loses it's meaning, and doesn't exist, because Noone would send a part of themselves to Hell for whatever reason, they would be forgiven 7 times 7.

Love thy neighbor as you love yourself, makes perfect sense, because you are in fact Loving yourself, if all is one.


Biff the unclean this is for you, but also anyone else:

Do you have disdain for a human that lies through his teeth?

DD = No, I would only have disdain for a part of my Self.

Biff the unclean(BTU) = ?

Do you Love a "sinner" and a "saint" equally?

DD = Of course, both are part of who I am, and I would not Love any part of who I am less than another

BTU = ?

Do you eat meat?

DD = No, I can see animals in what I equate to pain, if I start cutting in them. Life is sacred and I do not wish to cause pain to any living creature, plus if they are one with me, why would I take their Life?

BTU = ?

Does it have any bearing if earth was wiped out?

DD = No, our lives would continue undisturbed, the universe would eventually collapse(or some sort) and start over again, just like a heart beat is both in and out to create and sustain Life.

BTU = ?

Is it useful to be scornful and insultive to others?

DD = No, you are essentially just being insultive to yourself.

BTU = ?

Do yo value theists higher than atheist?

DD = No, all is one.

BTU = ?

If someone is a very famous person or a skilled engineer or an atheist or theist, but act as an asshole...

DD = Then they are an asshole, I am more interested in how you act towards your fellow living being, than any skills the living being possesses. But I don't Love them any less.

BTU = ?

Does it matter what others believe?

DD = No, their actions is far more important

BTU = ?

Would you change your behaviour, if it wa established that there is no "God"?

DD = No, I want to live a good and happy life, and hope others will get one as well.

BTU = ? (I know, doesn't really apply)



Now, this is some of the stuff I can deduce, if my experience is valid. I don't know if it is valid, but unfortunately neither does any one else!

So I live right now, seeing that happiness is more likely to occur if I behave in a humane way.

I Know I Am, but I don't know what/who I Am....no one can tell me.

Plants are alive too. When you pluck out a plant, you cut off its life. Heck, life is being cut off all the time in your body. All those killed bacteria! The Jain precautions against harming living creatures are useless.

Plants are alive too.


But I do not sense any pain in them, I sense it in cows and dogs and what not, the "scream" in pain, A plant doesn't.

My level of perception doesn't allow to perceive any pain in plants.

Well, I don't know if plants are capable of feeling pain or not, so I'll avoid responding on that subject. But they're alive, that's for sure, just like a cat, dog or pig. Pigs and chickens, for example, are slaughtered humanely today (it's required by law), so the pain they experience is minimal. That's at least one good thing we humans do. The rest of the natural kingdom does not care about the pain it inflicts upon each other when they practice predation.

The statement that "all is one" may be true only in the deepest fundamental level, the laws of physics. But just go to chemistry and you find a variety of things. And with biology, the variety of subjects is staggering. Certainly not all is one. Your God may be synonymous with the laws of physics, but it's not a personal god, not one you could have a relationship with. Christians at least imagine an invisible friend to talk with; you with your "all is one" God don't have even that.

Do a google search. It might be a hoax, but check it out.

I am not capable of living without some food at my present state of Life. So I do my best with what I have.

Yes, we are human with a conscience and conciousness.

you with your "all is one" God don't have even that.

I talk(communicate) to you don't I?

Yes but I'm not God. I'm an "other". My existence and your existence put together means that not all is one. Maybe all is one substance (energy/matter), but the manifestations are plural and different from each other. The differences are real.

Yes but I'm not God. I'm an "other".

Namast�, this is Hindu and means "I see God in you"

The kingdom of God is inside man, Luke 17:21

Maybe all is one substance (energy/matter), but the manifestations are plural and different from each other. The differences are real.

Indeed the differences are real, but our Is-ness is the same.

One = Many

One rainbow, many colours.

One ocean, many waves.

While some are interested only in the waves, and some are only interested in the ocean, I see water in both.

Forgive me for being facetious, but DD's posts remind me a lot of a Dr. Bronner's bottle.

Biff the unclean this is for you, but also anyone else:
Oh, here I am. Sorry to be late. Glad you started without me

Do you have disdain for a human that lies through his teeth?
Yes
Do you Love a "sinner" and a "saint" equally?
Both these terms are relationships to gods since I have no belief in gods they become meaningless. But if you mean do I judge people by their behavior, of course I do.

Do you eat meat?
Sure, my species is omnivorous. In fact it was meat eating that allowed us to grow large brains. I'm chewing on a Togo's Black Forest Ham sandwich (extra pickles & hot peppers) as we speak.
Even our gorillas get occasional hamburgers�they don't like mustard on them.

Does it have any bearing if earth was wiped out?
Of course it does. I spend most of my time trying to keep lowland gorillas from going extinct.
How callous would a person have to be not to care about our own planet?

Is it useful to be scornful and insultive to others?
I don't know about "useful" but it does let them know where they have gone wrong with me.

Do yo value theists higher than atheist?
In human worth? No, I don't value anyone less than anyone else. In affection, much less.

If someone is a very famous person or a skilled engineer or an atheist or theist, but act as an asshole...
Then they are assholes and I do "love" them much less. In fact I'll avoid their company.

Does it matter what others believe?
Yes, it is the mark of the person every bit as much as what they do

Would you change your behaviour, if it wa established that there is no "God"?
Yes, once I established that there was no god I became a better person
Now, this is some of the stuff I can deduce, if my experience is valid. I don't know if it is valid, but unfortunately neither does any one else!
Actually they do know. Had you read the news magazines a year or two ago when they were doing cover stories about god being hard wired into the brain you would know too. The feeling of oneness comes from an over stimulation of the frontal lobe, I believe. It's like a short circuit. Nothing magic, just an electrical problem. It only lasts a few minutes, nothing to worry about, you'll get better.

I Know I Am, but I don't know what/who I Am....no one can tell me.
Then check your wallet for a driver's license; that should help.

A hoax. A really bad, stupid hoax that no one with the slightest intelligence would fall for.
I am not capable of living without some food at my present state of Life. So I do my best with what I have.
I'm lactose intolerant myself.
You'll find that the state of life where you don't need any food is called death.

While some are interested only in the waves, and some are only interested in the ocean, I see water in both.

And I see someone who, lacking content, resorts to style. The problem with talking to Skeptics, like the people on this board, is that they aren't really impressed by vague mystical sounding language. They have found that it is always used as misdirection. It clouds the issues and does not illuminate them.
