Becoming One with the Whole
I wrote this text with the intention of transmitting the awareness and conscious understanding of what it means to be one with the whole—one with all, with everything. I seek to express the profound connection that exists beyond perceived separations. This deep understanding was integrated in my. being primarily through a dream I had not long ago. In this dream, I found myself in a place surrounded by people, and I could clearly feel that I was them, and they were me. There was no division. We were all one, feeling each other, understanding everything about one another, and existing in complete oneness.
To be one with the whole begins within. It starts with the sacred meeting of yourself, where awareness gathers like a flame at the center of your being.
Sit in silence. Close your eyes. Become still. The first step is the sacred return to yourself. Before you can know the vastness, you must first know your own being. Who are you? Not your name, not your body, not your mind, but the presence that watches—the awareness that witnesses all things. Feel this presence within you. Sense the energy moving through your form, the breath flowing in and out, the stillness at the core of your being. Observe your thoughts as they rise and fall like waves upon the ocean. Observe your emotions as they pass like clouds across the sky. See how all things move, yet you remain—the eternal witness, the changeless One.
And then, expand your awareness. Like ripples in a pond touched by a single drop, your consciousness moves outward. What was once contained within the boundary of your body now stretches beyond, reaching into the world around you.
Go to a tree. Look at it. Truly see it. Notice how it stands—silent yet alive, deeply rooted yet reaching toward the sky. Feel its presence. Allow its energy to enter you. And then, shift—become the tree. Let your consciousness move into its form. Feel the weight of its roots gripping the earth, the stillness of its trunk, the gentle whisper of its leaves dancing in the wind. Just as you know your hand is part of you, though it is not the whole of you, now feel that the tree is part of you. It is not "you," but it belongs to the deeper You—the You beyond name and form, the You that is awareness itself.
And now, let yourself be observed by the tree. Feel its gaze upon you. In this sacred moment, know the truth: the tree is not separate from you. You are the tree. The tree is you. Allow it to witness you as you witness it. Connect, knowing that you are one and the same.
This is how the illusion dissolves. You begin to see that the world is not outside of you. The world is within you.
Everything is within you. The entire world exists inside your consciousness. There is no "out there." What you call "the external world" is but a projection of your own awareness, appearing as form. The sky, the sun, the air, the people—none are separate from you, just as your hand is not separate from your body.
Your hand is not "you," yet it is part of you. Your finger is not "you," yet it moves with you, exists because you exist. This is the key to understanding oneness: If you look at your hand, you do not say, "I am my finger," yet you know your finger belongs to you. It is one with you. In the same way, the tree is one with you. The sky is one with you. The people around you are one with you. They are not "you" as you currently perceive yourself, but they are part of the greater You—your awareness, your being.
Now, extend this understanding further. Just as your hand is part of your body, you are part of something vaster. You are part of God.
God is everything—the totality, the infinite consciousness that contains all things. And within this vastness, you exist. You are not separate from God, yet you are not the totality of God either. You are a fractal of God, a piece that carries the whole within it. Just as a single drop of water contains the essence of the ocean, you contain the essence of the divine.
And because you are a fractal of God, everything that exists within God also exists within you. Just as everything you perceive is inside your awareness, everything in existence is inside the awareness of God.
This is why, when you connect deeply with something—whether it be a tree, the wind, another person—you feel its essence within you. When you practice the awareness exercise with the tree, you are not imagining something false. You are touching upon a fundamental truth:
The tree is not "you," but the tree is part of your awareness, your consciousness. It is part of the real You—the awareness that transcends a single identity, a single lifetime, a single form.
And just as the tree is within you, you are within God.
Everything is inside of us, and we are inside of God.
This realization is not just intellectual—it is something to be felt, to be lived. When you look at the sky, when you breathe in the air, when you touch the earth beneath your feet, you are not simply interacting with something outside of you. You are recognizing a part of yourself.
And in this recognition, something profound happens: the illusion of separation dissolves. You no longer need to grasp or struggle to become one with anything, because you see that you already are.
You always were.
You always will be.
When you sit in presence with yourself—when you feel your body, your breath, your thoughts, your sensations—you are stepping into the awareness of the whole. And when you expand beyond your body, beyond your mind, beyond your sense of "I"—you merge into the great ocean of being, into the infinite awareness that holds us all.
You are not alone. You are not apart.
You are.
And God is.
