Law of Divine Oneness

Everything is interconnected.

We are all connected; everything and everyone in the universe are all part of the same underlying reality.

✨Nothing is separate. Every thought, word, action, and emotion reverberates through the universe. What we do to others, we do to ourselves. We are a wave—not separate from the ocean, but a unique expression of it.

You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.– Alan Watts

And yet, why does the word 'selfish' still exist, more pronounced than ever?

Many of our harmful and careless actions may seem small or disconnected—but eventually, they return to us, directly or indirectly, often amplified.

Here’s a list of "harmless" actions people justify as inconsequential—but that often come back to bite us, proving the Law of Divine Oneness in real-world terms:

1. Littering 🗑️ → 🌪️ Pollution, disease, and climate backlash

• Short-term thinking: “It’s just one plastic bottle.”
• What happens: Trash clogs waterways, harms animals, and degrades soil and air quality. Microplastics enter the food chain—including ours. Littering contributes to environmental decay, which in turn affects health, food security, and extreme weather events.
• How it bites back: Flooding in cities, toxic air, expensive cleanup efforts, or even contaminated seafood on your plate.

2. Gossiping or Spreading Rumors 🗣️ → 🧠 Toxic culture and broken trust

• Short-term thinking: “It’s just a bit of juicy talk—it won’t hurt anyone.”
• What happens: Gossip erodes trust, creates fear, and makes others wary of you. It normalizes betrayal.
• How it bites back: You become known as untrustworthy, people pull away, and when you need help or support—silence. The very social fabric you tore frays under you.

3. Wasting Food or Resources 🍽️ → 🌍 Systemic imbalance and scarcity

• Short-term thinking: “I paid for it, I can waste it.”
• What happens: Food waste contributes to greenhouse gases. Water, labor, and energy behind that waste are also squandered. This adds to global hunger and climate stress.
• How it bites back: Price hikes, food shortages, and ecological collapse begin to affect even those in “safe” zones.

4. Ignoring Mental Health or Suppressing Emotions 🧩 → 😵‍💫 Personal and relational fallout

• Short-term thinking: “I’ll deal with it later.” / “I need to be strong.”
• What happens: Repressed emotions manifest as anxiety, outbursts, poor decisions, or illness. Suppressing your pain can create a cold or reactive presence others feel.
• How it bites back: Burnout, isolation, or unconscious harm to others—including children, friends, and partners. Emotional residue spreads like smoke in a closed room.

5. Buying Fast Fashion or Sweatshop Goods 👕 → 🏭 Human and planetary exploitation

• Short-term thinking: “It’s cheap and cute. Why not?”
• What happens: Supports unethical labor, fuels global inequality, and contributes to landfills and water pollution.
• How it bites back: You live in a world where suffering is normalized for convenience—and that economy of harm eventually affects your own working conditions, societal values, and environment.

6. Trolling or Hateful Speech Online 💬 → 💣 Collective aggression and numbness

• Short-term thinking: “It’s just the internet. I’m blowing off steam.”
• What happens: Fuels mass anxiety, fear, radicalization, and cultural polarization.
• How it bites back: A toxic internet leads to toxic minds—people stop feeling safe or seen. One day, the hate is aimed at you.

7. Being Emotionally Unavailable or Cold in Relationships ❄️ → 💔 Generational trauma and loneliness

• Short-term thinking: “I don’t owe anyone my vulnerability.”
• What happens: Your partner, child, or friend grows up disconnected, confused, or needy—passing along that emotional hunger.
• How it bites back: The love and closeness you crave don’t come, because you taught others how to fear it. Ouch!

"What you separate yourself from is still tied to you."
Whether you poison a river, neglect your inner world, or demean another soul—you are still in the web. The harm circles back.

If you don't believe in this law (or have never even heard of it), look again with an open mind, and sensibility, then you'll see.
