Chapter 1The One Truth

Oneness and Separateness

When I taught you about low and high states of mind, I explained how fear divides and negative thoughts separate you, and how love and positivity connect and unite you. Well, the One Truth is that our state of mind, the thoughts we think, the words we say, the life we live, and the power we have and everything we experience are ultimately influenced by oneness and separateness. Think of a team that is divided. They feel separated from each other and are weak. Now think of a team that is united. They are connected, powerful, and strong. The same goes for you. When you feel a sense of oneness, connection, and unity, you feel powerful, confident, and strong. When you feel separate, you feel divided, weak, and powerless. When you feel connected and one, you have a high state of mind. When you feel separate, you have a low state of mind. When you feel oneness, you feel love. You feel like you are home. When you feel separate, you feel fear, like a child who is lost searching for your way back home. When you feel oneness you experience the essence of love. When you feel separate and alone, fear arises and, as I will explain, it leads to every weakness, negative thought, and destructive behavior humans have. Here's a visual that explains how the one truth affects our state of mind.
