When does oneness really become full of its own oneness, and not empty?

"The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love."
That's a quote from, Meister Eckhart, (1260 – 1328 AD)
The all-seeing eye is not God's eye, but every eye combined into one eye.
God sees through us, and that's why he created us to see.
Oneness lives not alone, as it has itself to live with.
Everything depends on everything else, and yet everything depends only on itself too.
If you solve this great paradox, you will have solved the mystery of life.
The answer is that love lives in both states, and joins the states together, which are otherwise kept apart.
Only love can bring oneness to individuality, and take individuality out from itself, and return it again to oneness.
Love unites life into oneness. Love permeating all brings all to itself.

The eye of the dog, reversed, is the eye of God, as it is with all of us too.

What we see is simply the face the universe chooses to reveal that day.

So, it's the God of many faces that we worship.
Yes, he would have infinite faces to his oneness. He would never just be two-faced....

@DocAndersen Yes, otherwise, God is pulling his funny faces behind our back.
We need to turn around, and to look at the old Guy, and to acknowledge his very real presence in our lives too, as real.
Then we can laugh with God, at the funniness of the shape of life, rather than be upset with him about it all.

I think that love is the only thing that we can be totally sure of; the rest we can never be sure of.
They say God is love, and love is God, so if God exists, we can be sure of God too.

What we see around exists only because of the love that keeps everything going, in tact.
Though we are individuals, we are one and the same too on a common journey. We lose the plot thinking we are separate and get carried away with possessiveness at the cost of sharing and caring.
We need a helicopter view, from a higher plane, to understand we are all on the same boat with an oarsman in total control.

That's well said, siva.
Yes, we all have our finger in the pie of life, and it is up to us to make sure that our finger is a clean one, a loving one, a caring one, so that then, the collective pie tastes better for all.

@innertalks I like to remember all the time if I cannot be of use then at least let me not become a nuisance to others.
I think that thinking should make this world a much better place

@Shiva49 Yes, being a hindrance, or an annoyance, or a spanner in the works, working against the good of the whole, is working contrary to the ways of love too, I think too.
We all do this unconsciously a bit, but life is about increasing our awareness, so that we work against God less and less, and for him instead, more and more, consciously choosing to do so through our understanding of his love and oneness, working more seamlessly for everyone, if we do this too, and be for him, rather than against him, and for only ourselves instead.
