You’ve probably heard the phrase, “We are all one,” especially in spiritual circles. It’s a lovely idea—one that makes us feel connected and part of something bigger. But I’ve come to see that it’s not quite as simple as it sounds. The more I’ve explored my own journey, the more I’ve realized that Oneness isn’t about losing ourselves in some collective whole. It’s about integrating all parts of who we are—our soul, our human self, our master, and even the various aspects of ourselves from this and many lifetimes. This is how we discover our unique Oneness.
When we say, “we are all one,” it can sometimes feel like it implies we’re meant to blend into some collective soup, losing our individuality. But here’s the truth as I see it: We’re each a unique expression of our own Oneness. And that’s something to really sit with.
