We are One

I cannot even count how many times I have heard this phrase: We are one. And every time I heard it there was something in me that firmly resisted to experience the Oneness. It felt wrong to become One with ‘them’ -- after all, I didn’t even know who ‘they’ were! And why would I become One with all those who I was not? As I examined that part of me which many would call ‘ego,’ I realized that that part wanted me to recognize my unique self. “How in the world can I become “One with them” if Iam not even one with myself?” - I thought. “And what should I do with this part of me that wants me to love myself more than I love ‘them’?”

As God suggested to rename ‘ego’ into ‘e - God’ my life became much easier. I realized that this very part that
so many suggest to suppress, is a huge part of who I am. As a matter of fact, it is the Energy of God in me, which IS unique. This energy constantly reminds me of my self worth and encourages me to love myself. After overcoming my doubts, I decided to stop denying my ego and learn to love it. I had no idea what would be the outcome of this experiment -- I just wanted to become One with myself. The only rule for my experiment was to refuse comparing myself to others. It didn’t make sense that the energy of God in me wanted me to
love myself through others. So I decided to use my e-God part for loving myself through myself.

With some conscious work, my language changed. I reduced my use of superlatives -- words with an ‘-est’ ending, such as ‘the sweetest,’ ‘the greatest’ and eliminated words like ‘the best’ and ‘the most’ from my vocabulary. This made a really big difference. Now, instead of saying ‘You are the greatest,’ or ‘You are the most incredible’ I would say ‘You are great’ or ‘You are incredible,’ with the emphasis on YOU. YOU are great: not in comparison to others, not because they are not great, but because that is who you are. Others may be great as well, but their greatness has nothing to do with you, simply because each one of us is unique, so our greatness is unique as well. Along with my vocabulary, my feelings changed as well. As I became One with myself, I stopped feeling intimidated by the thought of becoming One with others. Why wouldn’t I merge my greatness with theirs? The idea of becoming a part of a greater greatness suddenly became really attractive
to me.
