If you experience(d) Oneness, please share the how to of it.

In so many ways I can't explain it and I'm not bragging because some of it is not good.

these are just a few examples.

in good ways, that all my steps are predetermined where ever I go. Just one example. this life is no coincidence.
there are more... such as seeing yourself in others, feeling what others feel whether you like it or not. I'd go on but I'm trying to not paint too pretty of a picture because really, I'm not bragging. Oneness can be excruciating. two seems better, two is a sign of progression from the singularity of one but again... all is one.

and now bad ways... that everything is so ONE, that even God is lonely... and no matter how you run, how you shift, how you chase the other side of the yin or yang... you will never escape it... because all is truly one to the utmost of all equations no many how many ways you try to divide it. Oneness to the point where you understand that singularity cannot persist, it will tear itself apart in violent chaotic explosions and regurgitate the painful cycles of life if only, for a while... to forget... to be SOMETHING ELSE. To EXPLODE rather than stagnate in the excruciating stillness.

thank god for the illusion of division.

I don't think I could of said it better

It feels like all is right on track and you are a part of it.
Only it goes deeper than just a feeling because it resonates so strongly with the "soul".

You just are aware of everything and a part of it in the bigger picture.
Words don't do it justice.

Has your experience led you to live more deeply?

For me I am somehow able to see through situations to the truth. The reasons behind peoples actions and the outcomes of situations.

All the best,

Korg.

To the OP - "surrender" is the key.

It can actually last for years, not just moments.

Ego is the great fence, the separator of me and you, us and them, we and they ... self and other.

Yes, that is one of the things about it. You become a lot more humble after. I react a lot differently now than I used to. I believe in killing with kindness. And tend to look at the bigger picture with much better clarity now in my day to day life. I find deeper meaning in the world.

it only happened to me twice. it is in the shape of a egg, thats all i ever really brought back. idk how igot there, i want to go back but idk. it's just like an act of grace, you can't do it yourself

Would you mind explaining further what "being one with everything" feels like? I've stood on a few mountains and I've enjoyed the view, and yes I admired the beauty of earth while I was there, but I wouldn't describe it as a "oneness." Out of curiosity..thank you.

For me its like my awareness drops down from my head, through the throat, down into Infinity where there no longer is a me as awareness. There is just Oneness. I am no longer there, there is no me, and everything is One thing. Instead of me walking through Oneness, its like me walking through myself. Or better yet, instead of me being in a body, the body is in me, and I am outside of it and yet nowhere to be found.

There is a smaller One with everything connected feeling that many people claim when in nature, or watching a movie, etc. But that still implies an I, that is lost in the object. What I am referring to, is that there is no I anywhere to be found, it sort of merges with reality without needing nature, a movie, or anything else to be wrapped up in.

Unfortunately I find there is no how to, or guidebook. The guidebook is within yourself, it's hard coded into you and you just have to rediscover it.

The number one thing you must realize is that you are one with everything. You must *know* that you are one with everything, and when that occurs, then you will experience oneness.

As to getting to the point where you *know*, follow what makes you truly happy, smile, laugh, silence your mind and let go.

Then you will go back to source and disconnect from the body, and observe as another poster in this thread said so eloquently.

Listen, I would love to be able to tell you how I experienced oneness.

Sadly, the topic is forbidden.

Do the math and you'll see.

Everyone experiences oneness because there is no twoness.
There is no duality in non duality.
Duality is a mistaken perception, it is a belief that has not been researched.

When the two become one the kingdom shall be revealed, there is only one kingdom but the mind 'thinks' there are more. The mind imagines more when there is not. There is this everpresent kingdom and then there are 'past and future stories of me'.

It is impossible not to be one with everything. Can you remove yourself from the air that you breath? Can you separate yourself from this moment? Can you step out of now?
Some realize they are one with everything, some don't.
God is playing hide and seek.

It is like a fish saying i want to find water.

If you get a minute could you nip over and feng shui my shed?

The searing Presence is always ready to flood forward. I work very hard to stay here although I don't want to. Be ready to lose everything in space-time by YOUR CHOICE because you are given no option. There is no return, there is no off switch. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Art, music, documents all are dedicated to what is impossible to translate, yet we try anyways knowing we can only produce a snapshot still of an infinite kinetic Presence and structure. What blasphemy to use words, art or music. Yet it is the only thing we have.

Not only is it impossible to transfer Infinite Presence from one finite to another finite, through finite medium, the "why" is forbidden to be told until the recipient has been properly prepared for their own safety. Otherwise it's monkey on acid with a machine gun.

If one is not ready how could it be dangerous? If one is not ready it would not happen.

edit on 26-5-2012 by tkwasny because: Typo fix

No one has to work hard to stay 'here', here is where you always are, it is impossible to not be here. The 'hereness of you' is a prime fact, the prime fact. Time and space is an illusion that happens here and now always. Time and space is created in the mental realm (not created really, just imagined, not true or real). This hereness is real and all imagining happen here.

I had a sort of "breakthrough" myself once. I was kindof meditating, and I got deeper and deeper into it. Eventually I lost all feeling of my body. I suddenly had this certain awareness; I was aware of what it truly meant to love everyone, how it felt, and that I should; I was aware of all the ways in which I was damaging my body (smoking, inactivity, poor food) and that I could be much healthier; I was aware of various ways in which I've wronged people and felt a deep sorrow for it. When I "came back" I felt completely overwhelmed by the whole experience. I knew I should make these changes in myself, and that in doing so I'd be... (a better soul?), but I felt unable (or unwilling) to. It messed with my head for a while. I haven't attempted meditation since.

If you get oneness then you wind up being an outcast or don't easily fit into society. Do you sure you really want that?

this is such a great talent,to be at the cusp of ones reality and actually know it.Even more so when you can do it at will.How envious I am.My brain doesn't follow orders to stop.I have to take drugs from the VA to make the damn thing let me sleep normally.

I was asked by another ATS member to describe how I experience Oneness or Union with the Absolute. I know there are others here that experience this state and so I hope you can share the how to dynamics of it.

For me it goes like this:
1. I realize I am not the mind/ego/thoughts and kind of have a separation from that.
2. In this loose state, I am merely observing.
3. With surrender, me as the observer seems to drop from the head area, like an elevator, down through my neck, and I end up in a state where there is no I. Everything is just One.

Furthermore, I really dont have control over this or how this is done. I just happen to fall into it every now and then, many times when least expecting.

Please share yours

I am probably not at the level that you are because I am very caught up in thought and understanding of everything so my experiances seem to not be visual. I had a moment of clarity where my mind jumped from "thruths" to thruts that explained my whole life, where the end thought was All is One. I heard something inside my head and knew that it was something very different. After that I started feelings things on the top of my head and forehead down to the top of my nose. I have listen to meditation tapes and seem to have higher sense of feeling in my body and taste. I am very much more alive than I ever was. I call the sense in my head "the bliss" since it does feel really good when you are calm and brings me harmony. It is like I am on a natural lowkey high all the time and people are notecing me smilling all the time.

I cannot see things or go outside my body, but can follow synchronicity. But if I need those tools then I am sure that they will be provided.
