I see Oneness as one of the most practical principles in the book. It has had a huge impact on how I manage my relationships with people and how I run my business.

Can you walk up to someone you've never met, and with no script or advance planning about what you're going to say, have a deep and meaningful conversation and depart as friends with a loving hug in 30 minutes or less? I've done this many times. But before I understood Oneness, I'd have thought it impossible for me.

Imagine how much easier it is to do business when you can become best friends with someone during your very first meeting -- simply by tuning in to the permanent connection that exists between all human beings.

IMO this is extremely practical -- it can transform every relationship you'll ever have for the rest of your life.

The mindset of Oneness is one of the reasons spiritually-minded people find it easier to form deep connections with people they've just met. But you don't have to be interested in spiritual development to adopt this point of view and use it liberally.
