I am thinking about Love and Oneness and it seems that Love is an energy/grace that is in and through all that gives Oneness life (I take a moment to wonder - what does life mean?). This may be the closest way that I can try to describe it in words as some sacred texts mention that Love cannot be described in words, but we can move to a more correct perception of its Truth in a certain way. The way some texts say we can do this is by forgiveness. I think of this action as follows – If Oneness cannot be separated - then anything that is connected to something else is one with it unless there is only a level of partial connection. For example, the pieces of a puzzle can be connected to form one puzzle picture, but there is still a level of partial connection as the edges of the pieces are still apparent. But, in another example, when a drop of water is connected to another drop of water then there is a total connection to one larger drop of water. It is as if there is a Great Oneness/God/The Force or what ever you want to call it.
It is always One in Truth/Reality, but there appears to be a condition where the Oneness can generate a thought or idea of something separate from it. This thought/idea seems powerful enough to create an experience of apartness or separateness. With this experience, there seems to come another experience of begining to compare/judge the separate things imagined as having different characteristics and being better than, worse than, bigger than, smaller than, etc – the other things it is being compared to. The One moves from a knowing of All in Oneness to a “perception” or “point of view” from where a thought perceives itself to exist in separateness. Perhaps the forgiveness that sacred texts talk about is actually a reversal of this experience of seeing things as better than, worse than, bigger than, smaller than, etc. to a larger (maybe even) more correct perception of Oneness i.e. Truth? Perhaps by Loving everything equally not noticing the seeming differences and not seeing a need to blame (or even forgive) a new more correct perception of Truth emerges and we begin to move closer to knowing the Truth?

Thanks qagiri. I keep thinking about how connected we all are, even though the eyes this body perceive a seeming separation. Love & Light 💞 Dev
