All Are One and One is All: Unity Consciousness and Conflict
The Illusion of Separation
"People aren't naturally nice to each other. They are simply conditioned to fear the consequences of not appearing to be nice to each other."
— Nicholas de Vere
Humanity is suffering from a profound delusion: the illusion of separateness. It is a collective blindness that poisons our psyche, fractures our families, divides our cultures, and pits our species against itself.
We need only look around to see the symptoms. Drivers racing for a single car length. Families torn apart by politics. Wars waged in the name of God. This endless list of primal, tribal conflicts is fueled by the core delusion that we are fundamentally separate—isolated beings on hostile planets, fighting for our own patch of earth, our own pocket of air, our own source of fire.
This pervasive sense of division, I contend, is no accident. It is a poison passed down through generations, a legacy of ancestral violence and trauma. For centuries, children have been raised in the cult of the ancestral self-hate, indoctrinated with shame by religions that thrive on guilt.
In this history of trauma, Western religion—and specifically, institutional Christianity—stands out for its devastating role. It did not become the world's largest religion through love, but through conquest and bloodshed. It infected the human spirit with the concept of Original Sin, demonized the divine feminine, plagiarized virtue from the pagan cultures it destroyed, and systematically corrupted the ancient, intuitive wisdom of Gnosis.

The Battlefield Within
The chaos we see in the world is not born in parliaments or on battlefields; it is a projection of the chaos within us.
This is a truth we can verify for ourselves. When we sit in quiet meditation and witness the relentless activity of our inner realm, or observe our dreams, we find a landscape of conflict, from simmering anxiety to outright existential horror. As feeling beings, we cannot contain this inner tension. It bleeds out through our words, our actions, our very presence. We can try to hide this truth, but we are only lying to ourselves.
Now, we can extend this observation outward. We can see how our relationships with friends and family perfectly mirror our own inner conflicts and resolutions. Then we can widen the lens to our community, our culture, and the world, and find the same patterns of frustration, trauma, and despair writ large.
“The more one sees, the less one desires for oneself and the less attached one becomes. If one desires truth and sees only truth and gives instinctively for the common good because one can feel the common need, one becomes the target for opportunists and deceivers.”
— Nicholas de Vere
Yet, here we are: one species, on one planet, sharing the finite resources of earth, air, fire, and water. We are at war with ourselves, sacrificing long-term survival for the short-term satisfaction of the ego. We have forgotten the wisdom of the beehive—the innate understanding that the health of the individual is inseparable from the health of the whole.
This inner war—of opposing selves, conflicting motives, and fractured intentions—is the source of our fear and anxiety. It is rooted in the unconscious, planted there in childhood. This inner ecosystem dictates everything we experience, no matter how desperately we distract ourselves from its existence.
The Path Through the Shadow
How, then, do we cultivate Unity Consciousness? How do we heal this fracture?
We do not find wholeness by turning away from the darkness. We find it by walking directly into it. We must enter the inner gate where our tensions reside. We must say "yes" to the shadowed forest and trust the compass of our intuition to guide us. Growth comes from rescuing the abandoned inner child and gathering all our lost, warring fragments into a radical state of acceptance.
We heal by allowing our soul to flower. And we begin this process with three simple actions: Stop. Look. Listen.
We decide that this moment is the only moment of salvation. We take radical responsibility for our inner world. We realize that our lives are a direct result of the war—or the peace—waged within. We are psycho-emotional creatures. The degree to which we suppress our tension is the degree to which we suffer. The degree to which we confront and release it is the degree to which we are free.
When we abruptly STOP our frantic momentum, LOOK honestly within, and LISTEN to the wisdom of our own being, our outer world will naturally begin to reflect this inner shift. We will begin to truly see and hear the people, places, and things around us.
If one person can transform their world by transforming their soul, imagine the exponential effect if we all did. We would cultivate the collective soul of humanity, creating a self-regulating global ecosystem. The only difference between the harmonious beehive and the chaos of human conflict is our level of consciousness.
The Severed Spirit, The Wounded Land
As spiritual animals, our primary relationship is to the Earth itself. The ancient cultures knew this. They revered the land as a living being. But with the rise of the Roman Catholic Church and its war on nature, humans were refashioned into self-loathing creatures, disconnected from their environment and conditioned to repeat cycles of abuse.
The elements—earth, air, fire, water—are our birthright. This is the natural magick we inherit. The fire of kundalini, the air of our breath, the water of our bodies, the earth of our bones—they are not separate from us. They are us.
The illusion of separateness turns the living world into a dead object, something to be dominated, exploited, and discarded. This feeds our existential anxiety, our fear of both life and death. Dualistic doctrines taught us to bypass our own bodies and our own planet in search of a hollow, distant heaven—a celestial prison designed to keep souls in service to earthly empires.
The Alchemical Solution
This may sound like a utopian fantasy, but the proof is found in the laboratory of our own inner work. When we achieve a state of inner peace—not a sterile perfection, but a radical acceptance of all that we are—the results are measurable: improved relationships, greater competence, and vibrant health. The ripples of this personal transformation inevitably contribute to the healing of humanity.
True enlightenment is not an escape. It is like the sun, shining its light on everything below without judgment. It is the courage to illuminate the unconscious shadows that move us. It is the alchemical marriage of darkness and light, a fusion of the dual forces within that transforms us. This is the process that creates "Wizzans and Dragons”—those who see and know through the windows of sincerity.
It is this expanded seeing—this awareness of the collective human beehive—that finally gives birth to Unity Consciousness, and to the ultimate exclamation of truth:
"All are One, and One is All."
