One obvious question arises: If all consciousness emerges from a unified field, why do humans experience fragmentation, suffering, violence, and alienation?

1 Cor. 15:21-22 “For, since death comes through a man, resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.

“And when all things have been subordinated to him, then the Son himself will also be subordinated to the One who has subordinated all things to him, so that God may be all in all.” (DBH)

All are in Adam, and all are in Christ. What was done in Adam is undone in Christ.

Because of this shared Divinity and shared Humanity, everyone, everywhere has access to God's comfort, even as they share in Christ's sufferings.

It's only when we turn to the Source, or the Origin, that we can clearly see who we are and who God is. This is how the veil is removed. This is how we begin to see clearly our relationship to the Universe, and to all creation.

The ever-increasing glory of God we experience is directly tied to our ever-widening perception of God's presence permeating everyone and everything around us.

2 Corinthians 5:14-19 “ For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

This is the great mystery. Somehow, we who are many become one in Christ. Christ is one in all of us, and we are all one in Christ. The one loaf is broken into pieces and becomes one again within all of us. The one flask of wine is poured into separate cups and unites us all as we are united with Christ.

What is astounding to me is how often Paul repeats this formula, and how seldom Christians comprehend the meaning: whatever is true of Christ is true of all of us.
