I am unique, just like everyone else! ;-)
If we are all one, but all separate, then the question (as I asked in one of my own questions) is... Where does one's ego end, and another's begin?
To me, we are all forms & expressions of One Light, One God, One Energy, One Consciousness. Yet, humankind's natural reaction to reality is to see the separateness of each individuated ego.
We may not all realize it, but it is that idea of separation that creates the FULL feeling of Emptiness within our being. And, it is when we are able to disolve the individuation of the ego, and see the grand picture, that we feel one with humanity and all that is.
Anyone that can both integrate and disintegrate their own ego within all of Life will understand its meaning. ;-)
Peace & Love!

I see myself separate from others, but one with humanity. I think I feel this way because I am fairly well educated and well off, especially compared to the world as a whole, but I do not think that I am better than another in God's eyes - or my own for that matter. I just recognize that I have been blessed so greatly and I think, probably like others in this forum, that I can see how others falter in their lives because of a lack of knowledge and faith and I have been blessed with a testimony that gives me strength and peace in my life. I have an enormous desire to help others, but I have learned that you can only help those that want to be helped and desire truth.

One with others. Interesting that we can consider ourselves in so many different ways... really interesting. (Comparing different responses according to ethnicity etc would be interesting too).
Why? Many reasons. I am white, middle class - so I fit into my neighbourhood (and country - NZ) very well, I don't stand out, and I feel connected with others, therefore I am not "other" - also, I need others in some ways.
I don't see that I'm actually "in" others, even metaphorically, because others can always choose how much of themselves to reveal to me, and I don't fully know (or control) anyone else. Others affect me a bit, but if someone I know dies, I won't die with them.
I don't see myself as purely a part of "one humanity" because I see that we are all individually important and separate, and I don't believe in destiny or being ultimately not in control of anything. I think we are all individual, with individual (eternal) souls. "humanity" isn't the important entity, we individual's are.

I think that Buttercups fractal avatar answers for me - interconnected, patterns, repetition all part of the picture.

Can ones perspective have a dual nature?
Separateness within the unity.
-----I am an individual and I am all of humanity.

the way you worded it is tricky
we're all individuals but we are all a part of humanity
