Oneness and Equality uncovered

Not long ago, »love« and »light« were considered by many as the Ultimate Solution™ to all problems. Some people have sobered up since then or otherwise seen through. And while there definitely are some benefits in (autosuggestion based on) love and light, the potential for bad outcome is well-known when luring mind into a receptive state.

Now, there is a new movement. It is based not on love and light, but on equality and oneness. This movement, even though they are inviting people to take responsibility, is not fully enlightened in the Buddhist sense of the word. How can one tell? By seeing that which is conditioned by popular belief and incomplete understanding, and that which is conditioned by discernment and wisdom.

Because likewise, just as there are benefits and dangers in the intent of love and light listed above, there is also the potential for unwished-for outcome with equality-oneness.

The benefits are obvious: the apparent removal and absense of superiority-inferiority view. That is, the promise of peace, non-harming, heaven on earth.

The potential for unwished-for outcome (or dangers) is subtile and not easy to understand. In short, the idea of equality and oneness is conditioned. By what? By the belief in and devotion to »self« and »other«.

And here is the irony: while this movement claims to bring about non-abuse through non-seperation, in reality what it brings is the exact opposite: the seperation of the constructs »self« and »other« that somehow must be made one or equal at any price.

Thus be aware: looking for equality and oneness in the world will only project one's own delusions. But that which gives rise to actual practical living and understanding, accompanied by true oneness and equality, is not to be found outside, but rooted in our most sincere intentions.

But don't believe that, i'm just sharing an incomplete impression with my spiritual friends. Come and see for yourself, make up your own mind, think for yourself.
