One Humanity, One Soul - September 2019

Against the backdrop of today’s often divisive and turbulent environment, the phrase “One Humanity, One Soul” makes a striking contrast. It sounds a chord and elicits an image of unity and peace that some might initially associate with a utopian dream rather than the underlying reality of the One Humanity which is often less apparent and does not impose itself on consciousness. This oneness is epitomised by the Soul, which stands bridging the gulf between the two extremes of Spirit and Matter. The One Soul, the Soul in each, sounds in the silence of this space – a quiet whisper that speaks of the inclusive and unconditional love at the heart of oneness.

Of course, this truth of oneness has been presented by religious and spiritual teachings since the most ancient of times, but the demands of physical survival as well as the sheer hustle and bustle of modern living have proved to be exceedingly potent distractions and diversions from more subtle realities. As has been true in past ages and still is so today, the focus on individual differences, material effects and sensory experiences can heavily veil or altogether obscure this deeper truth.

There are some images and events however, that do seem to powerfully and instantly burst through any fogs of distraction and jolt an inner recognition of human oneness. Recently there has been widespread media coverage focused on the 50th anniversary of one such momentous occurrence – the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. This event viewed by millions worldwide also provided one of the most iconic pictures of that time – an image of the Earth rising as seen from the moon. This and other similar pictures taken from space have given humanity a visual image of its oneness.

In these photographs of Earth, the One Humanity stands as a presence. Even though no individuals can be seen, the entirety is there – all humanity and all of Earth’s other kingdoms are included without exception. This new perspective presents a view of overwhelming beauty and for some, these images from space have come to represent a lasting change in consciousness and a vision of a more inclusive, constructive future. The abstract concept of One Humanity finds a symbolic representation made visible in this way.

Another symbolic expression of oneness presents itself in the form of the Triangles network. This vibrant etheric mesh, like the one soul, holds all humanity within its sphere of influence. Beyond this symbolism, its radiation of light and goodwill distributes the energies essential to transform the vision of oneness from an inner truth into an outer expression of that reality.
