Oneness Mantra
As part of my search for Oneness, I say, “Thank you, Rev. Roger Teel, for writing This Life Is Joy. At the halfway point, I am feeling more than half-full, certainly not at all empty.”
For today as well as for the past several weeks, thank you for your specific recommendation that I bring to mind, to focus this truth:
Deeply we are One.
How true your statement that “to use this as a moment-by-moment mantra is enormously powerful.”
Being a slow study who must build a solid practice by repetition, I introduced Deeply we are One into my meditation as my spoken mantra. It offered me an immediate, rhythmic comfort. With each inhale, long and slow, I drew that consciousness of Oneness into my heart.
Near the end of each exhale, I whispered Deeply we are One aloud and felt the affirmation punctuate the Truth.
Very quickly I have experienced carryover from my specific moments meditating to my out-in-the-world, moment-by-moment being. After just 3 or 4 days meditation, I discovered my Self feeling the mantra — Deeply we are One — when someone else raised my emotions, whether affirmatively or not.
- In line at the grocery store seeing the fatigue in the cashier’s eyes.
- Shopping for a new car and appreciating the salesperson’s efforts.
- Watching the other car in my rear-view mirror, much closer than I wished it to be.
- Closing my eyes now and envisioning you, reading this.
Deeply we are One.
While I encourage you to read and enjoy This Life Is Joy, you don’t have to wait to use the mantra.
And, of course, if you currently use a mantra that you trust, treasure and are willing to share with us, please do!
Good Friend GOD,
Every step that brings me closer
to knowing the true Oneness with you
and with all others is a blessing.
It is a blessing that cannot be repeated
too often; it offers heart-opening discoveries
every time.
Every sight that shows me we are One
for you are All gives me vision
of the infinite wonders of your creation.
It is a vision that cannot be enjoyed
too much; it shows the limitless beauty of One.
Thank you, Spirit, for every opportunity
to experience being One with you and with
everyone, with all, you have created.
And so it is. Amen.
Love and blessings,
