We need Unity because we identify ourselves as "we." There is one human race. Acts of each "individual" affect the human race. Unity only recognizes that we are part of something larger.

Maybe because it is the truth?

A few years back in a meditation I asked for guidance on understanding the concept of unity or oneness. Here is the answer word for word exactly as It came to me.


I am the ocean, you are the raindrops. We are the same. You raindrops, because of your similar size and location, see yourselves as separate, as units, as individuals. This perception of your selves has been your only reality since you were born in the clouds. You have no other perspective of your selves. As you fall through your short lives here, you see the ocean far below. On a certain level you understand that it and you are one and the same. You envy its magnificence. The thought comes,” I am water too, am I not also part of this magnificence?” Then you realize that you are but an insignificant raindrop. You can only look at that distant ocean in awe. The ocean with its timeless knowledge sees you quite differently. It sees you for what you really are. Its most precious children, bravely returning home to share the experience that ocean as a whole could never have experienced. The ocean has nothing but love for you. Because it understands that it is you, and that you are it. It knows only truth. Until the moment you reunite you can only speculate. The ocean's love for you is unconditional. It holds no foolish thought of punishing you for not falling quite right. It only waits with great patience for your homecoming.

The tiny collisions you had with the other drops on the way down, at the time seemed so significant. Often you feared that if you mingled with them too long you might get to close and in the process even lose your identity. All this because you understood your true identity not! You are ocean, you always were ocean, you always will be ocean. How you currently perceive yourself raindrop, snow flake, puddle, stream, River, or lake matters not. This is all illusion, only perception. You are ocean, you are spirit. You and I are one; we are the All That Is!

We need the concept of unity in order to be able to differentiate between togetherness and unification.

Discord and disorder leave most people with a sense of unease. Discord and disorder can be harnessed in art for a specific effect or end. But an artist MUST be capable of imposing unity on disparate elements. That's why he or she's an artist.

It is the basis of co-operation. There is much more, but that is enough for now.
