Glimpses of Oneness
Facets of the Unity Perspective
Description:... This overview volume—Glimpses of Oneness— presents
a series of brief essays that sketch various facets of my own
life’s awakening. These often playful fables share inspiring
nuances of the unity perspective, as seen in a daily life con-
text that is easily recognizable to all. Each represents a pivotal
moment in or aspect of my evolutionary development.
Some are experience-based, and are presented more or
less chronologically as they appeared during a fifty-year arc
of my life’s trajectory. Others chronicle some of the forms
that have emerged for me as a direct result of these important
oneness experiences: Archetypal sketches, structural
diagrams, integrative exercises and techniques, and relational
revelations of some of unity’s deeper truths. I also share how
I’ve put these gifts into practice as my work has unfolded
over the past few decades.
My approach here is a-traditional and eclectic. It does
not follow any particular lineage, regime, dogma, methodology,
or schema. These stories draw upon inspiration
from many varied sources, as do my life and this larger
body of work.
I’ve decided to present these vignettes in an illustrated
“short story” format, instead of as a comprehensively integrated
treatise on the unity theme—leaving that complexity
to the Global Awakening series as a whole. My hope is that
these brief, faceted glimpses will work well with our contemporary
time constraints and attention spans, and that
their diversity of content will effectively engage an equally
diverse audience.
My life’s teaching has revealed many ways to experience
“becoming the mountain” of oneness—from individual
internal integration and uniting with the world at large, to
uniting various aspects of our world. I’ve found that each
way has an important role to play, especially when we turn
our attention toward uniting to heal ourselves and our world.
The deepest essence of the unity vision that drives the
broader and powerful healing impulse for the complete
series, and how it came to be seated in me, is in these pages.
The implicit and, I hope, inspiring message to readers
of this and other volumes is simply this: The insights,
inspirations, and innovations that I share here can come to
you as easily as they’ve come to me.
