Thought can't create oneness

Thought conceptually dissects life and then tries to put it all back together again. The catch is that things were never apart to begin with! Thought imagines disintegration and then tries to reintegrate the illusory multiplicity, which it is incapable of. It's much easier to realize that oneness was never broken in the first place. When the projections of the intellect are no longer mistaken for reality then there is a natural sense of peace and unity. This is what is sometimes referred to as "the natural state" though it really isn't a state at all--it is the ever present background on which the universe appears.
