YAH OUR GOD, YAH ONE
1094 Rashi
God is a Singleness, Not One of Many.
Although nowadays there are many Deities, at some future time, our God will be known as the sole recognized Deity.
Rashi on the Torah, Deuteronomy 6:4.
1694 The Baal Shem Tov
You Are Made of God. Nothing Else Exists.
Everything that is, is made up of God's flow. All is God. Nothing independent exists. There is nothing in the world existing on its own without a constant influx of creative energy from the Divine. There is nothing besides the Divine in all its manifestings. There is only the Divine flowing into everything. You do not exist as a separate entity.
The Tanya by R. Shneur Zalman Part 2, Chapter 1.
1994 David Bohm
You Are Not Merely Made Up of the Same Things. You Are The Same Thing.
Einstein astounded the world when he said that space and time are not separate entities but a smoothly linked part of a larger whole called the space-time continuum. Bohm takes this idea a giant step further. He says that everything in the universe is part of a continuum. Despite the apparent separateness of things, everything is a seamless extension of everything else. Look at your hand. Now look at the light streaming from the lamp beside you. And at the floor beneath your feet. You are not merely made up of the same things. You are the same thing. One thing. Unbroken.
