here are those whom cannot find this "oneness" with the rest of society. There are those whom have been so outcast, so neglected, so rejected, so used and psychologically dragged through the dirt in their lives that they have been thoroughly trained and educated in the fact that they are not... like everyone else. They've learned too well that they are, in fact, separated from the whole. The concept of oneness doesn't work. It's a fluffy bunny theory that just simply does not work.

In outline form...
System of Truth
I AM the people--the mob--the crowd--the mass.
Do you know that all the great work of the world is
done through me? I am the workingman, the inventor, the
maker of the world's food and clothes.
I am the audience that witnesses history. The Napoleons
come from me and the Lincolns. They die. And
then I send forth more Napoleons and Lincolns.
I am the seed ground. I am a prairie that will stand
for much plowing. Terrible storms pass over me.
I forget. The best of me is sucked out and wasted.
I forget. Everything but Death comes to me and
makes me work and give up what I have.
And I forget.
Sometimes I growl, shake myself and spatter a few red
drops for history to remember. Then--I forget.
When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the
People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer
forget who robbed me last year, who played me for
a fool--then there will be no speaker in all the world
say the name: "The People," with any fleck of a
sneer in his voice or any far-off smile of derision.
The mob--the crowd--the mass--will arrive then.

The contradiction buried in your statement... We created society, the monetary system, and our educational paradigm. Thus everything can be altered for a better fit.

That video--and the message it's trying to put forth--is, quite frankly, bull#. Try telling psychologically scarred, hurting, abused, neglected, or otherwise outcast, rejected people that "we are all one!" and see how much they'll agree with you. It isn't at all impossible for a person to grasp this concept of oneness if she or he isn't particularly unique in the first place. Try, however, to tell someone who knows all too well the pain of being different that "we are all one." You won't get a lot of agreement.
Whether by intelligent design or just some random, cosmic toss of the dice, some human beings have always been (are now, and always will be) extraordinarily different from most of the others.

Very junk video. Suggestive music, fast changing images, and that quantum new age atman pell-mell at the end... Again no God in it, just your consciousness as God. Typical. Bs.
