Oneness, innate and inherently the nature of all things, but we are buried deep within distortions of that Oneness. Is it not a goal to remove those distortions, and to once again realize this Oneness? Is it not a goal to arrive at a place where we are no longer perceiving ourselves as separate from all else?
We can say "all is one" all day long, but at the end of the day, you are still an individual saying that. We can realize the end, but it doesn't eliminate the means.
At the same time, we can spend all winter praying for a rose bush to produce a rose. The rose will bud and blossom at its set "time" regardless of our prayerful intentions.
Did the striving produce the effect, or was the product in existence all along? The blossom, in that 'alternate/parallel', was always going to be there at that nexus. Sure, if we chose to pray all winter, we were doing what we were doing/being, and this being was part of the One, but is was only what we were being at that nexus, which upon being now, is what is a part of the One, forever. What we do is what we do.

..........
in short - if you dont want to understand 'the one' (or whatever you are naming infinite intelligence), then dont. it is contradictory to participate in a forum that is for discussing and understanding that 'one', to say that you shouldnt.
why would someone be here discussing in the first place, if s/he doesnt want to understand ...
