Knowing oneself

Of course, there is no me and you, meaning a separate me and you. There is only me and you meaning a together me and you; and there is more than this, for there is me and you and a together everything else.
"Are we together?" As they say in some places. Meaning do we understand one another, but what if we understand that there is no other. There is only the self, the whole self and nothing but the self. And what if, as we understand there is no other, we also understand that there is no self, meaning the sense-of-separate self; our separate identity, our own consciousness. There is nothing except for everything, that is the reality. How could any of it be different?
So we have come to this. We don't need to get that we are we - whatever we mean by that - and God is God, - whoever we mean by that - we need to get it that there is only ONE, not simply one God, one being which embraces us, not merely embraces us in the sense of wrapping God-like arms around us, but embraces us because it can do no other: it is one. How could it be otherwise? How could we be otherwise?
