The universe is the One. As such I am a part of the one, along with everything else and collectively, everything is the One.
Same answer. If you read my reply you will notice that I also included everything as part of the Wholeness.
"The One" is misleading. It implies a personal entity. "The Wholeness" is a neutral description of All there is, not The One, IMO.
You may see this as semantics, but the implied meanings are different.
the one. DEFINITION; a person's destined life partner:
"it sounds corny, but I think he's the one"
Wholeness, noun.
8. the whole assemblage of parts or elements belonging to a thing; the entire quantity, account, extent, or number:
He accepted some of the parts but rejected the whole.
9. a thing complete in itself, or comprising all its parts or elements.
10. an assemblage of parts associated or viewed together as one thing; a unitary system.
You see the implied difference?
