TONY: Bella has often expressed the thought about us all being part of one. Unfortunately, few ever realize how true that statement is, and so we remain fractious, but a shadow of what could be. Ironically, Bella, the 'scriptures' says that he names himself 'I am what I shall prove to be' or, I am whatever I need to be. Without limitation, without reservations, absolutely complete.-DAVID: At the same time theologists refer to God as utter simplicity,not complex. 'One' is simple. Seems to fit your concept.-I don't think you need to believe in God to feel or believe in the oneness of all things. Buddhists manage quite well without believing in a supreme, conscious being. "I am what I shall prove to be" or "whatever I need to be" might just as well mean an impersonal Absolute (the words having been put in its mouth by a poetic scribe). Humans who say their God is "utter simplicity", or who offer any other description, have no evidence except their own and other people's opinions. "Without limitation, without reservations, absolutely complete" = BBella's ALL THAT IS, and that does not tell us whether the ALL THAT IS is a conscious being or a mindless mass of energy constantly and impersonally transmuting itself into different forms and combinations of matter. It's the same old story: life allows for whatever interpretation we humans like to put on it, and the same applies to whatever power led to life in the first place.
