One and the Many         "From the gods a gift to the human race:         thus I reckon the gift of seeing the One         in the many and the many in the One."         — Plato (428-348 B.C.), Philebus 16d Many appliances in household all run by One electricity. Many waves in the ocean made by One essence— water. Many breads, bagels, and cakes made of One ingredient— wheat. Many rings, braclets, necklaces all made from One metal— gold. Many leaves on tree branches all nourished by the One sap. Many cells born and dying all inside One living body. Many mailboxes to mail letters delivered by One post-office. Many countries on the globe all residing on this One Earth. Many words on many pages in One book by One author. Many clouds floating high & low all inhabiting in the One sky. Many objects seen in the world visualized by One pair of eyes. Many stars formed from the Big Bang from One point of the Black Hole. Many things in Manifestation born from the UnManifest that's One. Many in "The Drunkardness of Noah" to the One God: "Let there be Light !"           Peter Y.
