Common Ground Magazine is featuring a new article that discusses the multiple expressions of interconnectedness and how the Global Oneness Project is tackling the abstract "woo woo" notion of oneness by documenting and sharing the stories of individuals who use the concepts of interconnection and social responsibility to spur creative but practical responses to some of the world's greatest and complex challenges.
The article also mentions Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist, who experienced the feeling of oneness during and after a stroke that severely damaged her brain's left hemisphere (or the “me”-thinking hemisphere) leaving her unable to talk, walk or identify with the boundaries of her own body.
Read the Common Ground article and then watch Jill Bolte Taylor's amazing TED lecture "My Stroke of Insight".
It's funny to read the notion of oneness as "woo woo." I certainly agree it still exists, the woo-woo perception that is. I believe we've come a long way and have a long way to go. I can only speak for me so let me say that the concept of "each one makes a ripple in the water of life" was hard for me to believe a few years ago/definitely a decade ago. Today, I know 100% that it's a fact. What's exciting is the expectancy of The Tipping Point where movements like GlobalOneness become the norm and not the exception.
