The experience of oneness

‘May they be one as you Father and I are one. You in me and I in them, may they be perfectly one.’ (Jn 17:21) So at the heart of this in the Christian vision is the realisation, the discovery, the breakthrough into this field of undivided consciousness, of oneness, of simplicity. What we discover through conversion, through the breakthrough is a real simplicity, which is the experience of oneness, experience of unified consciousness, seeing ourselves in others, and others in ourselves. And the test of this is compassion, that we become compassionate as our heavenly Father is compassionate.
