 Can oneness be experienced?
First you have entertain the idea that there is a oneness to everything that is conscious. I'm not starting this thread to go over that, so assume that for now, there is a "all is one" consciousness - also termed idealistic monism.
Is it possible to experience oneness? To be aware of that state? I'd like to think so since I've felt something I imagine is that but also would snap back to being regular and look back and say - wow, wasn't that a trip...
But to really completely experience this oneness that is everything, how can one become aware of this state while in it?
Imagine you are identifying with being everything and being everything in the universe, there would not be anything outside of your boundary since you would have no boundary. By definition to be oneness is to encompass everything such that you are not going to be able be aware or sense something else since you are being everything. There will be absolutley no place from which to reference anything else.
So, is it possible to experience oneness and what would that really be like?  |
