With some reservations, I can accept ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />With some reservations, I can accept that definition of "oneness." At the same time I think most people would still think that what you meant by that word still boils down to merging the minds of all mankind into a hive brain.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Hey, oneness is not a "hive mind"!...Sean,<br />Hey, oneness is not a "hive mind"! Oneness is concrete, not abstract. It incorporates differentiation. But we do not exist separately from matter, energy, our environment or each other. Each of us is a temporary wave on the sea. I sum it up as: "Difference without division. Unity without uniformity."<br />Paul.paulshackley2017@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704115766930975286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-70366289112921729242017-04-19T08:04:02.843+01:002017-04-19T08:04:02.843+01:00Kaor, Paul!
I have to disagree, I don't think...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I have to disagree, I don't think any amoung of "spiritual insight or understanding" will somehow magically transform me into a mere cell and part of a hive mind. Nor would I want it to!<br /><br />Frank Herbert's HELLSTROM'S HIVE gives us a very alarming examination of the dangers the human race would face from a group of men and women trying to breed a new kind of humanity having only a hive mind.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
