Do you believe in the "one" or the "ones?" What is your honest opinion, instinct, gut etc?

Re: The "one"
Fri, March 31, 2006 - 4:30 PMThe "one" is us. Everyone and everything is created out of our perception of how we view ourselves.
Lao Tzu puts it something like this...
The universe is deathless because it has no finate self.
When we realize we have no end to ourselves...then we truly knowourselves.
"it may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey." ~Wendell Berry
What would "reality" look like if we recognized true love in ourselves?
I am right here with you,

Re: The "one"
Mon, April 3, 2006 - 12:38 AMI totally feel that quest to find "the one." My Mom even said today that she wasn't sure if someone I was interested in was "the one." I questioned her, saying I wasn't sure I believed in a one anymore. I was married and I thought he was the one. He was the one .... until he wasn't anymore.
I definitely believe in playing the game as if someone is the "one" full out. This is most likely why I'm monogamous, because it is the fullest expression of my love to create with a committed partner. They are the one for me, unless something shifts. Then, I get to create with another version of one.
I am always the one ... -

Re: The "one"
Tue, April 4, 2006 - 6:23 PMI find the search for the one to sometimes feel like the search for another.
And I have found that my mind is very good at turning another, into the "one".
I think that there is a certain movement or force in the universe that offers us series of potentials. I don't think destiny is set in stone. I do believe that there are deep karmic connections that are inevitable, that we come in contact with, and shift us deeply.
In each and every interaction, we get to choose how we are going to 'show up'. Sometimes we take the challanges as they are and sometimes we run and hide.
But if the 'one' is meant to be a love that is imperminate, I personally can't relate to the idea. But I think that might be out of protection. And there is some part of me that would love to believe.
So maybe my mind thinks one thing, and my emotional body another, but regardless I try and stay with the way love opens me. To oneness. And then that I keep, if people in life, turn out to be imperminate.
