Oneness? Let’s be honest, we are already one with our illusory psychophysical body and its suffering which, over time, will only become worse as we age. Again, we are already one with the illusory external world which confronts us on a daily basis, including mother nature. In fact, we are so one with this huge illusion we can’t find our way out of it try as we might. Said differently, we are unable to awaken from this nightmare with its innumerable rebirths.
Only a few people such as Bodhisattvas are able to awaken from this grand illusion with which they seem to be one but know otherwise. Bodhisattvas are people who have seen the very unconditioned substance from which this conditioned illusory world is composed. Because they have seen it, they are not caught up in the illusion, being forever one with the non-illusory substance of pure Mind. This kind of oneness we could say is like the sun which reveals not only itself, but also the illusory differences which arise from it.
