One God

I will express now a truth that I have been dancing around with my words for some time but have been afraid to express directly because of the harshness of its reality, not to mention the inevitable critisism that I am using this truth as a shield or to shift responsibility for what I have done off of my shoulders. But this truth does not shift responsibility, (no truth can ever do that, only lies can, or truths that are twisted by being used as lies). This truth not only affirms my responsibility, but when it is properly embraced, as I embraced it the day I brought that little girl home and surrendered myself to the police, then it will compel a person to take action at once, at any cost, to honor this Truth.
The truth is simply this: I was molded into the person I am today (and who I was before my arrest in 2005) by the world in which I live. And that world is comprized primarily of the society to which I belong. I am by no means or degree in any way independent of this world, or my society. In other words, it is utterly impossible for me to make any choice or to act upon any choice as an individual. There are no individuals! There is only the One! The One World, the One Universe, the One God!
But this does not mean that we should all try to stop behaving like individuals. In fact, the more we try to not be an individual the more individual we seem to become. The solution is to be who we are and simply recognize that we are dependent upon our universe for ever thought, and every choice we make.
This does not need to be a conscious event. I did not consciously think, „I am One with the Universe” when I decided to bring Shasta home and surrender. But I realized this to be true non-the-less. It was this unconscious realization that compelled me to behave in a manner that was in harmony, or in balance, with my truest nature which is a direct reflection of the nature of the world, the universe, and the society that formed me.
I told my attorneys shortly after my arrest in 2005 that, „most criminals blame society for what they have done, but I credit society for ultimately causing me to realize who I am, and for bringing that child home.” (parapharsed from memory)
I once defined love as the state that exist when another person's happiness and well being are imperative to your own. I did not realize then that this was another expression of the realization of Oneness.
When another person's happiness and well being are imperative to your own it is because you realize deep down (i.e. Unconsciously) that the other person is you. You „love thy neighbour as thyself”, and in doing so you experience the Oneness that is often called „God”.
