“Most of the early Christian writers thought the text "I and my Father are one," was to be understood of an unity or harmony of disposition only. Thus Tertullian observes, that the expression is unum , one thing, not one person; and he explains it to mean unity, likeness, conjunction, and of the love that the Father bore to the Son. Origen says, "let him consider that text, 'all that believed were of one heart and of one soul,' and then he will understand this, 'I and my Father are one".” HeartMeanPersonsSoulChristianFatherOne ThingSonExpressionUnderstoodHarmonyUnityBoresDispositionConjunctions Author:Joseph Priestley
“As unity demanded for its expression what at first might have seemed its opposite--variety; so repose demands for its expression the implied capability of its opposite--energy.

“The dance is the most universal of the arts, since, as Goethe justly said, it could destroy all the fine arts. It is an expression of all the emotions of the spirit, from the lowest to the highest. It accompanies and stimulates all the processes of life, from hunting and farming to war and fertility, from love to death. It enables, in turn other arts to come into being: music, song, drama. Despite all their riches, the dance is no formless complex, but a simple unity.” ArtSaidWarSpiritSongTurnsProcessSimpleEmotionExpressionFineDramaHighestUniversalUnityComplexesRichesDespiteHuntingLowestFarmingFine ArtsAccompanyFertilityProcess Of Life Author:Gerard van der Leeuw

“Images detached from every aspect of life merge into a common stream, and the former unity of life is lost forever. Apprehended in a partial way, reality unfolds in a new generality as a pseudo-world apart, solely as an object of contemplation. The tendency toward the specialization of images-of-the-world finds its highest expression in the world of the autonomous image, where deceit deceives itself. The spectacle in its generality is a concrete inversion of life, and, as such the autonomous movement of non-life.” WorldWayRealityLife IsLostCommonForeverMovementObjectsExpressionHighestAspectUnityTendenciesFormerContemplationStreamsDeceitConcreteDeceivingDetachedPseudoAutonomousAspects Of LifeGeneralitiesSpecializationWorlds ApartInversions Book:The Society of the Spectacle Source: The Society of the Spectacle
“Childhood has been idealised as a lost garden paradise to which we can never return. We are excluded from this world of carelessness, innocence and unity. But the imaginary kingdom is nothing more than a projection of adult ideas and concerns onto the image, an expression of our own yearnings. By photographing children alone, divorced from any social setting, I allow them to exist on their own...I am exploring the equivocal connection between self and world.” WorldChildrenHas BeensIdeasSelfLostSocialChildhoodThis WorldExpressionReturnAdultsConcernGardenConnectionsUnitySettingKingdomsSettingsInnocenceParadiseYearningImaginaryExploringDivorcedProjectionExcludedCarelessness Author:Loretta Lux

“In morals, theosophy builds its teachings on the unity, seeing in each form the expression of a common life, and therefore the fact that what injures one injures all. To do evil i.e., to throw poison into the life-blood of humanity, is a crime against the unity.” FactsFormHumanityEvilCommonMoralSeeingBloodTeachingCrimeExpressionUnityPoisonCommon Life Author:Annie Besant
