The Manifesto of Plural Oneness - How Everything is Connected

By Ashman Roonz

Reality is not just one thing. It is a living process that reveals itself through many kinds of wholeness. Each being is part of a larger whole, and each being is also a whole in itself. When we begin to see reality this way, we may begin to participate in it more fully.

consider three kinds of oneness. There is (1a) the infinite field of everything, (1b) the singularity of the soul, and (1c) the emergent unity of experience.

(1a) Ultimate Oneness is the infinite ground of all existence. It is the totality that contains every possibility, every being, every path of becoming. It is not a person or a place, but the open field from which everything arises.

(1b) Within that infinite field, each of us exists as a singularity. The singularity is the soul. It is not made of parts. It is not emergent. It is whole by nature. It is the center of convergence within us, the living presence through which all experience flows. Maybe the Soul is a fractal of Ultimate Oneness.

(1c) From the convergence of body, emotion, memory, and perception, something new arises. That always newness is wholeness. Wholeness is not a static state. It is the emergence of mind and experience. It is the convergence of the parts of our lives around our unique souls. Every thought, feeling, and sensation contributes to this emergence. The more coherent they become, the more alive and integrated we feel.

Not nonduality...

Unity and duality are not enemies. They are partners in the unfolding of reality. Unity reveals our shared source. Duality reveals our relationships. When we honor both, we come into alignment with the deeper pattern of existence.

Plural wholeness means seeing each soul as a singularity, each life as a convergence, and each moment as an opportunity for emergence. We are whole, and we are part. We are centered, and we are changing. We are connected, yet individual with private minds. We are all part of a vast process of becoming.

To live with this awareness is to participate consciously in creation. This is not a philosophy of escape. It is a practice of presence. The soul converges what is. The world emerges from what we align. And every act of alignment brings more wholeness into the field. What are you bringing into your focus? Your goals and values, plus your awareness. A dual focus... general focus and specific, peripheral and central focus.

This is the foundation of Self Science. This is the beginning of true participation in reality. Self and other awareness. Awareness of our connections within ourselves, connections with each other, and our connections with greater wholeness.
