Marianne Williamson:

"What is the Revolution of Consciousness, in a nutshell? Like all great movements in human history, it is based on a single insight: in this case, that we are not separate from one another. We are not material beings limited to the physical body, but beings of consciousness limited by nothing."

Any revolution is also a result of humans working hard to understand and 'control' nature. We must realize that our philosophy and culture must be studied and questioned with respect to our daily experiences.

We must embrace humiliation.

"Like waves in the ocean or sunbeams to the sun, there is actually nowhere where one of us stops and another one starts. On the level of bodies, we're all separate of course. But on the level of consciousness, we are one."


"Separateness" must be acknowledged and is confirmed. Why cannot it extend to consciousness?

I foresee chains and bonds for the separated ones. That all may be one. The maxim.

There are some things you wouldn't want to be one with.

Tycho; why do we need to embrace humiliation?

Surely when our beliefs are proved wrong, all we need is to accept the lesson learned and move on?

Why does this sound familiar? smile

May I invite you to consider this:

Separateness is not the same as 'uniqueness'; 'autonomy'; 'freedom' even 'individualism' which are all things we fear losing if we lose our separateness.

If you stood by a street corner and watched human beings pass by, you would think they are all different. Yet scientists now tell us that, according to DNA, (the basic code that defines who we are) we are 99.9% similar.

In other words, as 'un-seprate' as makes no difference.

Maybe so.

But the question is, are there any things that we are not one with?

Ms. Williamson accepts that "on the level of bodies, we're all separate of course."

Why then are the scientists contradicting her by saying that we are 99.9% similar?

This is dissonance.
