I’m having a MAJOR issue with this ONENESS theory.
If there is only ONE reality…
…why do I experience both subject and object?
Are separate objects even real?
Or are they just thoughts?
Are all objects created…
…at the moment subject is recognized?
Or are subject and object co-created?
Let’s simplify this by gathering together like items.
Every minor subject becomes the object of the next larger subject.
Ultimate subject sees ALL objects.
Ultimate subject is “I am the witness”.
"I am the witness" begs the question…
… the witness of what?
BOOM! OBJECT APPEARS!
Subject will ALWAYS manifest an object.
But don’t objects contradict ONENESS?
Can objects ever be dissolved?
Not unless subject is dissolved.
Then, can subject be dissolved?
Only if it was NEVER real in the first place.

ONE = ALL = INFINITE
You can't ADD to the ALL.
It’s already ALL.
You can’t SUBTRACT from the ALL.
Where would it go?
Mind tries to grasp the ALL.
But mind is too small.
So mind cuts up the ALL,
and tries to digest it.
One side is subject…
…one side is object…
…until it gets bored.
So subject becomes object…
…object becomes subject…
…and the shell game continues.
But all of this is VIRTUAL REALITY.
The pieces we believe we see…
…are just mind's imaginary divisions.
The mind's pieces don't really "go" anywhere.
But they can “fall away”.
No part is ever LOST.
No uniqueness is ever LOST.
Only the illusion is dropped away.
Let go of the virtual lines that we think divide us.
They aren't really there.
They aren't really there.
Only the mind struggles to get away from a part.
But a part cannot escape the ALL.
And the part was never more than a dream.
The mind may still play…
…knowing the divisions aren't real.
ALL is OK…because the ALL is still ONE.
