The Law of One Quotes
Ranked #5,283 in Culture & Society, #109,474 overall
That is: everything is intimately connected, from Divine to mortal. From heaven to earth. From black to white.
One of the ways in which theosophists have talked about this is using the simile of light being diffracted by a prism. Though all the colors are there, they are hidden in the white light normally. The prism shows them. Creation is like that too, but in reverse. We see the various colors, not realizing their ultimate unity.
Modern science would put it differently: light, matter - it's all different frequencies of energy. One substance, various manifestations.
On this page I share the basic historical sources of the idea of Oneness at the basis of all diversity. From the Hindu Brahman, the Hermetic Axiom, to H.P. Blavatsky and the latest manifestation: The Law of One as Ra channeling.
One more thing: The Law of Ultimate Unity is also the scientific basis for a peaceful world. Only when we realize that all people are of One blood, One heart, One mind - can peace come to humanity.
The Unity of Brahman
Advaita Vedanta, Sri Shankara Charya, 9th century CE
p. 126, Select Works of Sri Sankaracharya, translated by: S. Venkataramanan, 2003
One Life and One Law
The Hermetic Axiiom, first or second century A.D.
as is the Great so is the Small;
as it is above, so it is below;
there is but One Life and Law;
and he that worketh it is ONE.
Nothing is Inner, nothing is Outer;
nothing is Great, nothing is Small;
nothing is High, nothing is Low, in the Divine Economy.
The Great Hermetic Axiom, as quoted in The Secret Doctrine and it's Study, H.P. Blavatsky and Bowen.
Blavatsky on The Law of One
Secret Doctrine, volume I, p. 13-18 PROEM
An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable PRINCIPLE on which all speculation is impossible, since it transcends the power of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human expression or similitude. It is beyond the range and reach of thought -- in the words of Mandukya, "unthinkable and unspeakable."
To render these ideas clearer to the general reader, let him set out with the postulate that there is one absolute Reality which antecedes all manifested, conditioned, being. This Infinite and Eternal Cause -- dimly formulated in the "Unconscious" and "Unknowable" of current European philosophy -- is the rootless root of "all that was, is, or ever shall be." It is of course devoid of all attributes and is essentially without any relation to manifested, finite Being. It is "Be-ness" rather than Being (in Sanskrit, Sat), and is beyond all thought or speculation.
This "Be-ness" is symbolised in the Secret Doctrine under two aspects. On the one hand, absolute abstract Space, representing bare subjectivity, the one thing which no human mind can either exclude from any conception, or conceive of by itself. On the other, absolute Abstract Motion representing Unconditioned Consciousness. Even our Western thinkers have shown that Consciousness is inconceivable to us apart from change, and motion best symbolises change, its essential characteristic. This latter aspect of the one Reality, is also symbolised by the term "The Great Breath," a symbol sufficiently graphic to need no further elucidation. Thus, then, the first fundamental axiom of the Secret Doctrine is this metaphysical One Absolute -- BE-NESS -- Symbolised by finite intelligence as the theological Trinity.

The Law of One books
The Law of One books were channeled by Carla Rueckert, Don Elkins, and Jim McCarty between 1981 and 1984.
In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.
Session 1 of the Law of One January 15, 1981, channeling Ra.
So, do you agree? Is all One in the end?
Do you believe in the Unity of All Life?
One way of looking at this topic is to see the Divine in everything, instead of God watching us all from Heaven. Do you agree?
Is all One
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, ultimately all is One

"You, me, everyone on the planet, God, the universe and everything. We are all One. We are one great being acting out an illusion of being many little parts that are separate from each other so that we can discover Ourself in a whole new way. And not only are we One but each and every little part of us has some of the attributes of the whole of us." Zingdad.com

Not from personal experience but from mostly reading and keeping an open mind I think there must be truth in the idea(if you can call it that) that God shouldn't be a separate entity and that everything is intimately connected in some way.
Although I'm not sure I understand what was meant by "be-ness rather than being". I can't distinguish between those two. Are you and I the be-ness or is it another matter entirely? Please explain
