This perspective is so much centered on the physical which is a very narrow band of existence that some are passing through. If we are experiencing eating, then that is to know eating and to know being eaten. There is no evidence that all things at all levels have to eat or that we will always have to operate that particular way. There appears to be constant transformation which can include merging and diverging of consciousness. The word 'oneness' is just a concession of a finite mind to talk about a something that is beyond conceptualization. It could just as easily be called the 'all' or the 'totality' or 'infinite being'.
Thank you so much for producing this video. It helped me to reconsider some points of ignorance about Oneness and Guatama Buddha's original teaching. Good luck on your path! Thank you for your efforts to bring an end to suffering.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you find the explanations on our channel clear and precise. We strive to make the teachings as accessible and understandable as possible.
When you realize the Absolute Truth the Buddha was pointing to, you see why he used the word "Middle Way" vs "Advaita (non-duality). Too many people conceptualize, analyze and interpret Buddha's teachings intellectually. The teaching of Anatta/Anatman is meant to dissolve any types of identification since there's no inherent independent identity (self). The entirety of everything depends on the entirety itself so everything is interdependent. However, if you 'identify' the entirety as "one" then you've fallen into relative conceptualization. How can you have 'one' when there's no 'two'? That's why we use the word such as "is-ness" or "thus-ness" to describe the reality. The Absolute Reality is already Here and Now. We just have to realize it through directly seeing that all that can be claimed is the witness itself (only awareness function). Nothing to claim as subject therefore, no object. Then you see there's nothing we can be identified with. Even the Buddha-Nature is a conceptual description or just a word to many who only think in linear and see everything exist independently. The reason we can't find our "mind" is because it is not a "thing", not even a subject. It's wrong to say it exist, it is wrong to say it doesn't exist. Neither both, neither or 'one' is correct since they're all conceptual. Start with moral/ethical discipline and compassion for all sentient beings. Then discipline your mind to be focused (concentration) so you can rest the thinking-mind. Then the wisdom (absolute reality) has always been radiating, as (infinite) Here and (eternal) Now.
@saddha1 dear friend go and read the heart sutra teaching on emptiness, no eye , no nose , no smell no taste , still the Bhodisattvas operate with out any sense perceptions, so consciousness is beyond any sense perceptions.
@@duanpienaar9755 nope, conscious is called “Vignanam”, na rupam, na Vedana na Sangya na Sankhara na vignanam. So consciousness is one of the things which arise based on Dependant co arising.
@@saddha1my view is dependant origination talks about the five senses consciousness eg,eye,ear etc,but there is a base consciousness or cosmic consciousness in the background which is one.Why did Buddha days if u see realized nibbana ,you will see me,which is the cosmic all pervading consciousness with no rebirth.glad to hear your views ❤
@ no, he says those who see the Dhamma see me. Lord Buddha did not say anything about any baseline consciousness beyond Patichha Samutpada. This is why we take refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha. Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha become the foundation.
Perhaps contrary to the early teachings preserved in the Pali canon and Chinese Āgama, the later development of Buddhist philosophy in Mahayana and Vajrayana does recognize an ontological/metaphysical conception of allness/oneness as in realization of the pure consciousness/awareness or the hidden away Tathagathagarbha or the potent Buddha nature/dhatu or the cleansed Alayaviñāna that's said to form the source of ultimate and peaceful ground of all 'beings'.
I do have a feeling we’re all one in the sense that we share in our conscious awareness with all other conscious beings. I mean just think about it. We’re all experiencing a base level conscious awareness so in a intresic way we are related. To go further we all suffer the same fate ie: Old Age, Sickness and Death which means we all share in the same suffering and are all deserving of one another’s compassion because of that fact.
Humanity is the children of the Source, and all have individuality. We have the divine spark in other words. :) Christ Consciousness that New Age is talking about. The Source also has a part in our world, where it experiences everything from a human perspective. The entire universe is imbued with the source, and the story goes that he died so that all could live. This means that every animate and inanimate object is imbued with consciousness. As we evolve we will learn how to communicate with all beings and all consciousness. The more we do this, the more connected we will become, but we will never become ONE as it was in the beginning. For what fun is that to be fully one with everything, to lose our individuality and just exist outside of the universe? It is HERE we have our journey and experience. Life is worthwhile to protect. Those that die will always come back to us, death is only a new beginning. With time, suffering will fade away, the more we wake up the less we will suffer. :)
people better rewatch the whole matrix movies incl. animatrix ... wake up before it is too late. Better listen to live stuff like krishnamurti ... and osho
The Buddha told us, people's relationship in the world is only for a very short period of time. A person dies, each has its own path and majority people are drag away by their karmas. Even if they ever meet again, they would not be able to recognise each other. Once reborn in the Six Realms, the soul will take into new form. For example, you are now a human, next life you may be in the lower three realms as animal, ghost or suffering in hell. Those who cultivate kindness and compassion, they will have beautiful appearance in their next life as human. Those who are ignorance they will have appearance of animal that is worse than human. Those who are full of greed, hatred and ignorance their appearance will be like a ghost which is worst than the animals. Six Realms is the cycle of vengeance and revenge. Nobody can help you, each has to bear its own karma. This is the true reality of life in the Six Realms of reincarnation. Why is one reborn again and again in the Six Realms? It is because, you love this world too much and created a strong bonding. If you have no love for this world, you won't be reborn again into the world. If one chooses Western Pure Land for your next life, then you have to chant Amitabha Buddha. That is if you really want to migrate there. No one can bring you to the Land of Ultimate Bliss except Amitabha Buddha himself. 🙏🙏🙏 Amitabha Buddha
When advaita vedanta claims that we are one, it does not refer to the illusory world or maya. Of course, there we don't experience onness. We are one only from the perspective of one conciousness absolute. So, me, you, the tiger over there, food and feeling of hunger are all part of the illusory world. How can you then expect connectedness in things which only arise due to separation, even if this separation is illusory. Let me clarify, it is illusory in the fact that it arises from something else (conciousness) and does not have any intrinsic reality of it own.
If Buddha believed about Everything started from SHUNYA( VOID) Then the Whole Universe was Created. By the VOID We are VOID , we come from VOID. we return to the VOID and the VOID remains VOID.

Wouldn't you know that we actually don't need to eat food in order to survive oh we need a sunlight and water I'm a proven fact I did it for over 180 days
If you assume you are the dream of someone else. In that case what happens to you, your family, home, money position and fame? This is what I stumbled onto after my serious struggle for wisdom after 8 long painful years, where i lost my job, relationship, money and even myself. The year I got a sudden explosion of wisdom, like lightning in 2019. I got COVID-19 symptoms next day. And to my surprise China declare there COVID-19 cases next day on television. I feel really embarrassed to see any connection between those two events. I feel sad and also not know what's happening. Till now I never told anyone except my mom, because I will be laughing stock for world. That's why I never gave any instructions on enlightenment to anyone. Never take those words of enlightened sages at the end. They look all false at the end.🎉
Both Buddha and Christ never wrote. Therefore all the writings about Buddha and Christ can be taken as hearsay written subjected to the understanding of lesser men. Enlightenment and Seek ye first the Kingdom of God are personal experiences. 🎉
ai created.... watch out people what is artifical created by machines and what is artificallly created by humans ;) I like the channel also but it gives me shivers that it is just a money making machine based on what people like to hear. You can see that it is ai by small skript bugs if you watch enough videos ....
My struggle is this. We are all one. we are everything at every moment. Why is this so hard to see? Just keep doing you. You is the way things are!

Not easy to understand Dependent Origination correctly but I applaud your attempt to discern Oneness from interconnectedness,

What a great and useful video! Thanks. I will follow your channel for more interesting videos, stories!
Thank you ❤️

We are one consciousness not one karmic body , Buddha taught that consciousness that realize Buddha nature is one .
@@duanpienaar9755 I don’t think so, per dependent co arising out consciousness arises in with our sense perceptions.

That might be why their (incorrect) focus is on working towards the liberation of all beings, not just one's own.

If there is interconnectedness there is no oneness in a literal meaning

Six Realms is the cycle of vengeance and revenge.
Nobody can help you, each has to bear its own karma.
This is the true reality of life in the Six Realms of reincarnation.
Why is one reborn again and again in the Six Realms?
It is because, you love this world too much and created a strong bonding.
If you have no love for this world, you won't be reborn again into the world.

Western don't understand whan buddha say. We are all the same as one living being need to eat, sleep and drink.
How is suicide different from leaving the system
