Insight of the Week: One of A Kind

lf you have ever heard the expression “you’re one of a kind” then you know it references that you are unique unto yourself and no-one else is quite like you.  Whether stated with a positive or negative intention you are still “one”.

Likewise, we are also “one” human race/species.  We are as far as we know: “one of a kind”. Whether we behave positively or negatively we are still “one”.

Have you ever really noticed how many different variations and forms of this “one” we have?  We all have the same body parts – organs, limbs, etc and yet there are so many different manifestations of this form that we have a planetary population of about 7 billion and no two people are exactly alike (unless they are born identical twins). When we take that in for a moment, we observe how truly fascinating it is. However, we are all still “one.”

In this physical human world of separation theology and thought, we say “I’m over here and you are over there” therefore we are different and therefore someone has to be “better.”   In essence, such a thing does not exist.  We are all still “one.”

And as “one” is how the human race will create the world in which it lives.  When we come to understand that there is only one of us, we will also understand that everything we do to another we are in essence doing to ourselves, for we are “one of a kind”.
