We in the Western world are obsessed with our individual relationship with God, which leads us to read the Bible as morsels of blessings and promises and as Rorschach inkblots.

In his incarnate life, when he becomes one with us, Jesus recapitulates, or relives, Israel's (our) history. He becomes one of us. In fact, he becomes all of us in one divine-human being.

He is the Oneness Story in one person.

We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever.

A universal love is not only psychologically possible; it is the only complete and final way in which we are able to love.

Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.

In the Sawi universe, not only man, but all things are communicating.
