The whole of creation is the oneness.

The whole of creation comes from the oneness,

and it returns to the oneness.

When their individuality disappears,

they become the oneness;

when their individuality exists,

they are not the oneness.

Every creation acquires a different image

depending on condition.

All creations are the oneness;

they come from the oneness,

and to it they will return.

 

The original nature and foundation of all creations are the same.

Their purposes are the same –

the purpose being that though they may be individual,

their foundations are the same,

for those foundations all came from the oneness.

They all came from the one perfectness

and have become individual perfections,

which is why those individuals are perfection itself,

and are one.

That they are perfection itself means that

they are perfect as individuals.
