John gave a clear description of the main difference between western religions and estern religions, in that for example in Christianity there is a separation while in Buddhism and in Advaita etc there is no separation. In the Bible in John 1 it says that the Word has created everything. I interpret that as the Word being everything and then it becomes oneness as in Buddhism, but anyway great simple explanation by John. My view is that reality is oneness based on logical reasoning. If there is a separation between two things, then there is a boundary which is a third thing, and since the boundary is separate from the first things, new boundaries are needed and so on in an infinite regression. That doesn't compute in my view so I see oneness as the correct view of reality.
Thanks Anders for your comment. I have often navigated between believing in our dualities (specifically, what I perceive as our inherent paradoxes) and in oneness. Somehow, I regularly find myself affirming the existence of a boundary, to help in identification as well as in crafting a meaningfulness that is within grasp in my lifetime. The battle surely rages on for me.
