How many distinct parts are there to Oneness?

Question

So, there's God's Oneness, and then some other Oneness? Two Onenesses? Hehe.

Okay, the answer to God, the universe, and everything is not what's being discussed, so 86 your 42. ;)

It's not about logic. If all that Exists is God, and the Truth is Oneness, where does that leave the individual?

Oneness is not a description of quality. It means to say there cannot be two things that truly exist as in any way, shape or form, separate. If it appears to be so, it is illusion.

Oneness of Being, Rev. As such, what does God give freely to, and what are the pieces that return to a Oneness that was never more than One? Oneness can never become twoness in Truth, only in illusion, and therefore can never be other than Wholeness. God is not unwhole; cannot make itself less than Whole.

Answer 1

Every single one of us that ever was and ever will be - here and elsewhere. As you say, it is the perception of separation that creates the illusion of "lack" of Oneness - so as my perception refines, my allowance opens, and I am able to perceive the me that exists in all things. That Oneness is unfeasible when defined as having many parts is only an apparent contradiction.
As the mind refines, all contradictions dissolve, and truth eventually refines to the point of simply "One". All else is a an abstraction of this, that existence is.
the dialectic of relativity.

Answer 2

I just read this great quote, about 30 mins ago, that I believe comes close to -at least- approaching the answer to this question...

Peter provides a discourse on the nature of God and states:

“We call Him God whose peculiar attributes cannot belong to the nature of any other; for, as God is called the Unbounded because He is boundless on every side, it must of necessity be the case that it is no other one’s peculiar attribute to be called unbounded, as another cannot in like manner be boundless. But if any one says that it is possible, he is wrong; for two things boundless on every side cannot co-exist, for the one is bounded by the other. Thus it is in the nature of things that the unbegotten is One. But if he possesses a figure, even in this case the figure is one and incomparable. Wherefore He is called the Most High, because, being higher than all, He has the universe subject to Him”.

Answer 3

God is one god. SINGLE.

Christ is HIS SON, not another "piece" of him, but his son, his ONLY Creative ACT. Everything else was created through Christ, that includes the Heavens and "other" angels, including the Morning Star, Lucifer. THAT'S what makes Christs death so VALUABLE! God gave HIS ONLY CREATIVE ACT FOR US! Something and someone he must love so much MORE than us, for US! HOW do we deserve this?

Then the Holy Spirit (its NOT a Ghost, sorry) but it IS God's CREATIVE FORCE or Energy. So, God has an ENDLESS supply of energy at his disposal, AND according to the Bible, its able to 'understand and do' what God asks of it, meaning it must have some intelligence of its own. Most likely without personality, just from the dynamic energy alone. However, the Spirit is never given credence for new ideas or thoughts, just the power to carry them out. Therefore, while semi-intelligent (lol, meaning far more intelligent than I), its main use is power.

Answer 4

Oneness can have many meanings. Oneness of thought , Oneness Mind, Oneness in word, Oneness in deed, Oneness in Spirit.
Oneness of God would be indescribable but The Bible says he is the beginning and the end. So he/she all that is would be all that is one with God. Therefore, His spirit which he has given freely is said to be in every human. So the Spirit will return to God in Oneness. Oneness. "It is better to save the one than the 99." 100 being one , or wholeness. Without the one, there would not be one wholeness.

Answer 5

Oneness in the world of physics and chemistry was the atom; then they split the atom into subatomic particles (proton, neutron, electron--three in one) and then later into quarks, neutrinos and other elementary particles (many in one!). There were 103 elements when I took chemistry in college. Now there are 110. All under one rubric--elements. So if I follow the train of thought born in my early chemical studies, I'd say there is an infinity of parts in Oneness. they cannot be counted, and just when you think you have them all figured out, along come new ones! Ununoctium? I never dreamed of such a thing in 1983...but there it sits as element number 108 on the modern periodic table. Oneness never stops throwing new things my way! Cheers!

Answer 7

Of " God " the One. . . There is one single, stunning, magnificent Pure Light...One " God " who is the Oneness.

How many ' distinct parts ' are there to the One ? As many souls as there are moving within these human bodies walking the planet and other aspects of plants, animals, oceans, etc. . . . All aspects and distinct parts of the Oneness.

We are not THE " God " the One. . . Yet, we are OF " God " the One. We are aspects of that one Pure Light that is the Oneness. We are souls living a human experience...thus the " distinct parts " of the Oneness.

A message was heard . . . " We are all one ". You, I, all and all of this realm are all unitedly the One. As human aspects of that Light we are each uniquely streams of light of the One.

The ocean...it is one complete ocean. Take a droplet of water from that ocean...That droplet is still the ocean...separated out till blended with the completeness of the ocean again.

Challenging to express at times...yet I do my best.

You posted the question...there's my reply.

Peace to you.

Answer 9

Consider "Cause and Effect". If you remove the cause you remove the effect. The cause and the effect are necessarily one in essence. Since what we call God, who is unmanifest, is the cause of all that exists and all of creation is the effect(manifestation of the cause) There can be no logical reasoning that there is any seperation. The cause and the effect are always One.
If the Cause is One, the manifestation(all of creation) must also be One.

Answer 10

Oneness is actually the QUALITY of being One..not the QUANTITY ...

But its an intersting question...
Kinda like the cells that make up One BOdy...
like the many believers that make up the One Body of Christ..
At least when I see your question i think along those lines.
