Reading between the lines

There are moments when I read an article, a book or the internet when a eureka or a sort shows up in silent thought that provides an answer of a different kind (but related) than the contents of the article. It is as if in my mind one voice is going over the article and my self-consciousness is on a parallel trail. This aha is stimulated by reading the Tokamak article in the Wikipedia.

Here is another one. While googling around about Islam & in particular the oneness of God & in the Wikipedia pillars of Islam. During the reading I groked that the oneness of God is very much in agreement with Zen - the oneness of everything. Quickly, I went to the idea that in confronting an Islamist, intent on my demise via hand to hand combat, I would have to confess to him that "we are ONE!"

How alarming!

And yet, by the golden rule or the law of oneness, If I cut off his head (or he, mine), I am cutting off my own head (or he, his)!

The Golden Rule lives!

"Hua allahu alazi lailaha illa Hua!"

"He is God and there is no other God than He."

... what is it I am reading between the lines & who is reading it to me?

We are all ONE
