When Two Become One

In my previous article I discussed the passage in John 10:30 where Jesus says “The Father and I are one“ In this article I want to elaborate on the idea of two becoming one by first explaining the true meaning of an individual then listing some of the areas that humanity has considered this idea of two becoming one.

The meaning of individual has come to mean a separate and distinct person however that is not its origin. Originally it meant a person who is not divided from the Latin in- “not” + dividuus “divisible”. Of course this means that there must be more than one “part” of a person. What are these two parts? The human self and the spiritual self. The lower self and the higher self. The body and soul. When these two are “one” a person is not divided and is therefore an “individual”. This same idea is found in the word holy which is rooted in the word whole. This also implies more than one part. When a person fully expresses his divinity through his humanity he is considered holy.

A person is a true individual and holy when their higher and lower selves unite and the two become one. The idea of two becoming one is very common throughout humanity. It is generally understood that as the two come together they express and produce more than they could separately. The following is a list of some of the “two becoming one” concepts found in humanity:

• Man and women marry to best raise a family.
• Together the shepard and his watchdog best guard the flock.
• The teaching of Jesus and the evangelism of Paul formed Christianity.
• The driver and car unite to transport people over vast distances.
• The hunter and weapon serves to protect and provide man.
• The farmer and land are intimate and together they sustain humanity.
• Management and labor work together to be productive and profitable.
• The writer and language coalesce to communicate great ideas.
• Individuals with freedom form a nation supported by Divine Providence.
• Einstein revealed that matter and energy are one in the same. Einstein Proves the Existence of God!
• Romeo and Juliet symbolize true love.
• In Star Wars, Luke and the Force are one and together save the galaxy.
• Adam and Eve symbolically formed humanity together.
• A person with Amazing Grace can be saved.
• Beauty and the Beast forge a great love that transforms.
• The actor and director combine to convincingly convey the story.
• In King Arthur Percival receives the Holy Grail when he says “The Land and the King are one”. In fact the Holy Grail is the wisdom that we are divine beings who are here to express ourselves through this body on earth.

Note that with so many ideas of “two becoming one” found it lends support the idea that you have both a divine self and a human self and that they are suppose to become one so that you can express the divine in this world.
