For me, the difference between Love and Oneness is this:
Love is loving yourself and others, connecting with people and being passionate about something, anything. It's cherishish what exists, valuing what's important and being open and kind as well.
Oneness is that also tempered by the truth: that we are all together, and that we are all one. That you as are much me as I am. That unity and the perfect world exists together only through mutual love and respect.
It's possible to love someone else, but still be seperate from them, and yet still connect with them. It's possible to say "I love you, but you and me are different." Some tolerance is love, when people say "We're different, but I still love you." There's no authentic truth in that.
Marketeers are ofter people who act out of love and power without truth. They are passionate about their work. They believe in their products. They believe that what they are selling is really great. They do want to change your life and love doing it. They think they have the power to do all that. But it all falls short. They lie to get a sale, or they overvalue/overprice the item itself. The product would be excellent, or not and the salesman isn't try to scam you, but because he isn't aligned with truth, it doesn't have the impact he wanted. There are many sites around the net advertising a quick fix product with pages and pages of talk and testimonials, but no truth. The product could be good, great or excellent, but because of all the hype and over marketting, people are let down or just don't buy it.
"Lightworker Syndrome" where people give and give and give until they can't give anymore is also indicative of that. They love other people and want to help them, and they also bring forth their power in order to help other people as much as they can, and they put everything they possible can into it. Then bam! Because they don't have truth, they can't measure how much is too much, they can't see who needs more help than others and they burn themselves out. They haven't yet realised that they need to recharge their batteries and make sure they are capable of living before they can support others. They don't realise that they have to be their best as well in order to do their best. They don't live up to their highest potentials because they don't invest in themselves. And they don't know why they are failing.
Passionate people who take passionate action and fail time after time, are also missing truth. They don't know why they are failing, they can't see where to move their efforts to in order to succeed, so they just keep trying harder and failing harder. They use more power, or more love, but it doesn't work. They need truth. That's not very intelligent at all.
If you imagine life as a game, you can play it passionately and play all out. You can help others and help them score. Without the rules though you don't know which team you are playing for, you don't know how to play the game and you don't know what the score is. You can't win if you don't know that, no matter how hard you play or how much teamwork you have.
A wordy post, but I hope it highlights the impact lack of truth can have.
