The Law of Divine Oneness

In life, we often exist believing we live in our own silos. We think of ourselves as unique and different from others and that there is no possible connection between us and a dog or a waterfall. While we may think of ourselves as different and unique, there is something far more powerful that binds us to one another.

In Star Wars, Obi-Wan famously described the Force to Luke Skywalker as:

This is the Law of Divine Oneness.

This law simply states that everything is connected and is interdependent on one another. What we say, think or do has an inferential effect on the world around us. The Law uses God to describe that “force” of sorts and depending on your beliefs you might have another name for that omnipotent energy. Either way, there is an energy that can never be created or destroyed and is present in everything living or material and is permanently connected.

This law is very important to understand and adopt as a firm belief because it can change your life and the lives of those around you. How? Well, if you believe that everything is connected and that we are all the same no matter where we come from and our beliefs, then even our worst enemies on this planet are actually “us”. Meaning, if we focus on the good in us and others because we are all one in the same, then the result will be two seemingly enemies loving and caring for each other.

In short, the law transcends all religious and political boundaries as well as color and species for that matter! The more I study this law and dive deeper into its meaning, I grow more hopeful our world can change for the better.
We just require the will to do it.
