Albert Einstein
The belief that everything in the universe is part of the same fundamental whole exists throughout many cultures and philosophical, religious, spiritual, and scientific traditions, as captured by the phrase 'all that is.' The Nobel winner Erwin Schrodinger once observed that quantum physics is compatible with the notion that there is indeed a basic oneness of the universe. Therefore, despite it seeming as though the world is full of many divisions, many people throughout the course of human history and even today truly believe that individual things are part of some fundamental entity.
Despite the prevalence of this belief, there has been a lack of a well validated measure in psychology that captures this belief. While certain measures of spirituality do exist, the belief in oneness questions are typically combined with other questions that assess other aspects of spirituality, such as meaning, purpose, sacredness, or having a relationship with God. What happens when we secularize the belief in oneness?
…
ce, our essence; to choose to be on its path.
Love is pure, simple, kind, sweet, passionate, giving, receiving, peaceful; it is the journey of ones spirit in connection to ones soul, in connection to the soul of another. One Soul.
Love fly’s through the depths of being, having no limitations, no place in bondage.
Love is energy waiting to be freed.
Love is eternal.
Love has no beginning; love has no end.
Love simply is.
