Welcome to the boards, IceQueen! ^5
I believe every individual indeed has their own path and their own essence that is absolutely unique. When I think of "All is One", I think of how all parts are connected, esentially made of the same "stuff". While we're all unique as humans, we all share basic desires and needs, including the need/desire to be loved, to experience peace, etc. Sometimes that gets clouded over by personality "wounds", though. We forget "who we are" in essence. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
What part of "all is one" are you against or bugs you? Thinking that it means "all are alike"...or something else?
Interesting point you bring up!
(Btw, you've posted some interesting stuff on these threads on the New Age boards! I'm coming down with a massive headache, so I'll reply to your other posts/questions as soon as I can. I'm hoping that I'm not coming down with a head cold...)
