ONENESS

Oneness is an attitude that one carries which comes from what one feels within.

One’s perception of reality is what makes one act.

If you feel you are separate from others, you will protect yourselves and hurt them.

If you feel you are a part of others, you will protect them as well .

Oneness, is not a word, it is an experience !

When all your thoughts vanish, you are left with an empty slate and an empty slate is nothing, it has no identity and that is when it realizes that  every slate is actually empty . The thoughts and identities that everyone carry are just something is scribbled on that empty slate for a while otherwise the slate was always empty and will always be empty.

And, so how could an empty slate not relate with another empty slate ?

For all the slates must definitely come from the same place, the same material, excavated from the same earth and then distributed everywhere .

So, once you realize this emptiness, once you experience this emptiness, you feel an overwhelming oneness and then this is what transpires into all your thoughts, intentions and actions which  people call as compassion, friendliness or kindness while all it is, is just naturalness or emptiness.
