"An exploration of oneness" with Martha Orton

In this workshop we will explore the concept of Oneness, explained by Sri Aurobindo as the inherent reality of the universe and expressed through the wisdom of the Vedas as the truth of Brahman. We will consider the basis in spiritual philosophy for understanding Oneness and also Sri Aurobindo’s explanation of how humanity derived its sense of separateness and how it can move from this false perception to a truer knowledge of reality in the evolution of consciousness. In the process, we will explore how Oneness is much more than a mental concept and can be discovered in the outer life as well as in the inmost being.
