How Can I Expand the Feeling of Oneness?

Can we experience a sense of oneness with everyone and everything? A man says that the pure bliss he tasted during meditation still seemed a limited, personal experience. He asks what he can do to make it more expansive.
Rupert says: ‘When you say “I am”, you are referring to your essential being. When you say “it is” about anything in the world, you are referring to its essential reality, its being. So, being is the original condition, the fundamental nature of everyone and everything, and there is just one being from which everyone and everything derives their apparently independent existence.
‘But it’s not enough to understand this, you have to feel it - feel that the essential nature of whatever you experience is being and that being flows way beyond the limitations of your mind and body. And, just as you don’t allow the qualities of your character to obscure your being, don’t allow the form of anything in the world to obscure its fundamental nature, which is the being that we all are.’
