Individuality vs Oneness:

A Personal Reflection on Spiritual Awakening

For years, I’ve wrestled with the idea of spiritual awakening and enlightenment. If the ultimate goal is reaching a state of oneness—where all barriers dissolve and we merge with every living being—then what happens to individuality? How do we honor our unique selves while striving for unity?

This paradox has been a constant companion throughout my life. My deep desire for relationships has always been about connection, about merging with another soul on a profound level that transcends the surface. Yet, when I get close to that kind of connection, something within me pulls back, igniting my need for freedom and individuality. Over time, I’ve realized this tension is not a problem—it’s part of the ongoing dance between self and oneness.

Twin Flames and Self-Identity

Let’s take the example of twin flames, a concept that has become quite popular on social media. At its heart, twin flames are about two individuals coming together, shedding the emotional wounds and barriers that prevent genuine connection. It’s not about losing yourself in the other person, but rather uniting in a way that allows for a deeper understanding of both yourself and the other person.

This journey toward unity doesn’t negate the importance of individuality. In fact, it emphasizes the need to heal and connect with ourselves first before we can truly merge with someone else.

Dreams of My Beloved:

Lately, my dreams have shifted. In the past, I used to see my Beloved in different forms—sometimes as animals, often as himself. But more recently, something new has been happening. I haven’t fully decoded the meaning yet, but in these dreams, I am no longer just seeing him—I am becoming him. I feel his emotions, experience his challenges, and view the world through his eyes. It’s like I’m stepping into his reality.

This shift in my dreams led me to a deeper realization. Isn’t this what oneness is truly about? It’s not about erasing who we are, but about experiencing the full spectrum of life from every angle, every unique perspective. Isn’t this the core of spiritual growth and enlightenment?

Transcending the Paradox

At some point, I began to understand that individuality and oneness are not polar opposites but part of a larger, integrated whole. It’s not about choosing one over the other; it’s about transcending the paradox and recognizing that both are necessary.

We often think of polarity—like individuality and oneness—as a choice we have to make. But in reality, it’s about holding both at once. Spiritual awakening calls for us to accept the tension between the two, knowing that it is through their interplay that we find true integration.

The One is present everywhere—it’s The All—and it exists within each of us. We are made of it, and it is made of us—each unique individual. Our differences, our uniqueness, are what allow The All to experience every facet of reality.

Conclusion: We Are Both the Wave and the Ocean

In the end, we are both the wave and the ocean. Transcending the polarity means understanding that as we deepen into our individuality, we come closer to oneness. And the more we touch that oneness, the more space there is for our individuality to flourish. The true journey of spiritual awakening is one of integration—where we hold both individuality and oneness in harmony, allowing them to coexist and empower each other.
