Subject: RE: BS: Insanity: Amos or Martin Gibson?....
One small problem with that. Since everyone on this human level is limited in their perceptions and can rarely grasp the total picture of anything, be it the cosmos as a whole or a political issue, if everyone agreed on everything, stagnation would be the inevitable result and there would be no point in the possession of our unique gift of individual consciousness. It is through the exchange of different viewpoints that knowledge, both individual and collective, advances. To attempt to suppress the expression of any individual's unique viewpoint is to embrace not just ignorance, but evil.

I am an Ancient One and I have read much and I have given a great deal of thought to this matter. Oneness exists in the sense that we are all one with the Cosmos. We are all one in that we are part of Life. One can find manifestations of Unity everywhere. But--on this human level, we are all individual consciousnesses. And this is where we are now supposed to be.

Achieving Oneness, in the sense of attaining Nirvana, is actually to become non-existent.
