I would say that it supports the notion of inherent structure and organization; ie the Logos or the Creative Principle.
For me, that then translates into the Creator seeking it's own experience, in each and every possible manifested thing you look out on.
With that viewpoint/understanding, the interpretation of one's experience then moves towards greater harmonization, as a practical effect. It doesn't happen effortlessly, but working with the most correct axiom - ie, there is only one consciousness, having simultaneous, infinite articulations through physical vehicles - then allows one to derive more apt and accurate conclusions about the nature of Self and Reality.
That which is founded on truth, leads to truth; and likewise, incorrect understandings lead to further incorrect understandings. Having one's prime Axiom being centered on unity clears away much confusion and miscomprehension about the nature of manifested things.
