The Oneness Movement
QUESTION: Masters my question is about the Oneness movement. (don´t mention the name, if that prevents you from answering) What is it? How can one know what is good for them and what isn´t if you don´t want to be afraid of everything? ~S, Finland
ANSWER: The term Oneness has been used for centuries to refer to various belief systems, descriptive definitions, and religious ideologies. You can find the term in many New Age writings as an apparent indication that all humans are the same. This is a reference to the fact that all humans are, first and foremost, souls, all of which were broken off from one place – Source.
You can find the concept used to indicate a unity, a togetherness, a singular point of view. In the religious setting it generally refers to a solitary source of power rather than the trinity that many Christian philosophies teach. To others it is a search, a hopefulness that all people will feel a unity and join together in a common goal of oneness or sameness.
The belief system purports to do away with the duality and judgment of Earth and bring about peaceful, unconditional love as is found at Home. The difficulty encountered in Earth-based movements lies with the egos of the ones administering or dictating the particular dynamics of the organizations. When they suggest to the world that their way is the only way to live, they force judgment upon the rest of the humans approached by them. This thrusts the decision process to join or not to join into a positive vs. negative-appearing decision battle.
All souls have freedom of choice and should use that ability to find the best way for them to spend their time on Earth. All humans look for guidance from others. Some go so far as to shun responsibility for making decisions and assign that right or power to others. This prevents the spiritual growth that brought the souls to Earth in the first place.
Your life lessons appear to you as doubts and fears in daily life. If you shy away from anything you do not completely understand, you never learn anything. The journey of your soul includes opening up the doors that hid things away from you. The universe will present to you the things you need to experience in order to fulfill the desires you had before coming.
Always ask yourself how you feel about something before making a decision; this brings in your unconscious higher self to assist in the learning process. Understanding what you fear makes you stronger and more knowledgeable.
