Seeing one as unified with all, is that easy?
As with anything in life, it can be complicated or simple.
Unity is the default and real state. Separation is the imaginary. It is only the action of the mind that makes separation seem real. It is one of the hazards of seeing through the lens of a creature with the cognitive brain capacity that a human being does. It's easy to get lost in the mind whose nature is to categorize, subdivide, and label everything it encounters. If you weren't activating thoughts of separation, you wouldn't experience it. If you could stop thinking for an appreciable amount of time, the unity would eventually become apparent. It takes practice to still the mind, because your thoughts have a kind of momentum in consciousness, but it is possible.
You're like a snake that is looking at its own tail, and seeing it as something separate from itself because you can't physically see where the tail connects to the head. If you look at the world through outer sensory perception, the structured mechanical nature of those senses deliver a linear picture of the world with edges, lines, and form, which seem to depict a world of limits and rules and subdivisions within subdivisions. Much like a mirror, everything you see in the outer world is an inversion of the real nature. Instead, feel inside yourself and find the wholeness within you. You'll become aware of a world beyond the tangible, which is the container for all that is tangible.
Focus on the hole, and you see the hole. Focus on the whole, and you see the whole.
