There is a Native American saying 'If you are ill, then so am I'. Our minds tell us that we are separate from everything else. Do you ever get glimpses that we are in total unity with everything else?

We are all one
This is the first Youtube video which I have decided not to put under 'Discuss Sections'. Marianne Williamson is a student of 'A Course in Miracles', an amazing piece of modern Christian writing.
Don't rush away from the thought 'We are all One' and don't try to analyse it. How does it feel? I mean 'feel'. What sensations does the video produce. Even if you think 'what a load of rubbish' you will still feel something. Be with the feeling even if you can't find a name for the feeling.
Marianne is famous for a quote normally attributed to Nelson Mandela:
'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.'
