Yes, But How? Three New Ways to Oneness

Abstract

All religions agree that there is only one underlying power in the universe that pervades all and manages life to perfection, and many traditions have developed methods to oneness. People today agree with the concept of original oneness but are at a loss about the path: Yes, but how? How can we attain oneness in our busy lives, in this technological world, in these particular times and culture? Three recent American masters provide new paths. Joel Goldsmith (1892-1964) of The Infinite Way proposes a personal meditation on the question, What is God? Ed Carlson (b. 1941) of Core Health provides release of emotional and energetic tensions by focusing on the heart. And Gabrielle Roth (1941-2012) of Five Rhythms inspires people to dance to different kinds of music to release tensions and find inner peace. The three masters work through the different dimensions of the human being: conscious mind, emotional heart, and physical body. Each sphere sooner or later impacts the others: Goldsmith's clients are healed physically and emotionally; Carlson's followers find health and practice a personal breath prayer in continuous meditation; Roth's dancers release emotions and come to see themselves and the world in new ways. They all pursue oneness and integration within the human being and thereby achieve oneness of heaven and humanity.
