What is the Law of One?
Simply put, the Law of One is the universal Truth that All Is One. It is the Truth taught by Christ when he proclaimed, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." It is the Truth that underlies the ancient Golden Rule that we are to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. It is the universal tenet that unifies and can unify all world religions and spiritual beliefs that divide themselves along rigid lines of dogma and myth. It is the spiritual Truth that explains our deep yearning to serve others and often sacrifice ourselves.
There are many levels to understanding what the Law of One is and how it applies to every facet of our existence. It's basic and most easily applicable level of understanding is that we are all interconnected through our actions, and that every choice we make -- no matter how large or small -- sends out a karmic ripple effect that effects all people and all things and eventually comes back to us. Thus, one who practices this understanding of the Law of One acts and makes decisions based upon his or her awareness that every action has a consequence. Furthermore, one who exemplifies the Law of One understands that when one person suffers, all people suffer (whether they realize it or not). When one person starves, all people starve. When one ecological system is compromised, all ecological systems are compromised. When one person's freedom and human rights are in jeopardy, all people's freedoms and rights are in jeopardy. To apply the Law of One in our society means ensuring that every individual is treated with equal love, compassion, attention and respect. To apply the Law of One in our lives means ensuring and maintaining a harmonious balance between Humankind and all of Nature through the practice of unselfish and unconditional Love toward all beings and all things.
On a deeper level of understanding, the Law of One attempts to define what is in many ways beyond all words. To say that All Is One is to realize that there is no Separation. It is to realize that you are never disconnected from Oneness, for you are One with All there is. You are in truth, simultaneously a unique Expression of the One and Oneness in its totality. Seeking Oneness requires that you not so much seek, but rather experience Oneness, for the One does not create as much as it experiences it's Self. Oneness is never missing, so it need not be found. Oneness is Stillness. Oneness is Balance. Oneness is Harmony. No Polarity. No Duality. No right. No wrong. There is no void in Oneness. There is no Unknown. As an Expression of the One, all that you observe and experience is but a Reflection of your Self. Thus, to change the Reflection, you must change your Self. For you are both every thing and no thing. You are Infinite Love. You are the Infinite. You are the All. You are the One. This is the Law of One.
