That promotes not unity but a strong sense of separateness that arises at an inverse relationship to the amount of self one is concentrating on.

A succint way of expressing things for me is: I do not exist separate and apart from God and everything else, I only exist united and a part of God and everything else.

That being the case, balance which changes at every moment is actually a juggling act, in multidemensions, with all sorts of levels, it just requires to remember the view and love the opportunity for what it has given one not for what one can get.
