Is your sense of self actually an illusion of separation?
In short: Explore why some of the world's most enduring spiritual and philosophical traditions argue that the individual 'self' is not separate from the rest of existence.
The concept of oneness suggests that everything is part of a single total. This perspective appears across diverse cultures, including Western traditions like Platonism and Christianity, as well as Eastern philosophies such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
To express this oneness, such institutions employ distinct notions such as Theosis, Henosis, non-dual consciousness, Nirvikalpa samadhi, and Buddha nature. While these ideas are integral to global spiritual history, they often challenge the dominant Western cultural framework of a distinct, separate self.
