In reality, it is impossible to be excited about anything because it requires more than one, and there is no more than that which is One. For the same reason, there is nowhere to go and no one to meet. Therefore, if you want excitement, you must extend oneness. However, since oneness is formless, thus endless, it is impossible to extend it. Nevertheless, it seems possible to imagine it.
When you imagine oneness extended into more than one, it appears as if you can meet another one.
But you want more. Hence you imagine an extension of neighbouring spaces, so the one-dimensional extension seems to become two-dimensional.
However, more want more, so you extend the two-dimensional extension with neighbouring extensions and call it a world.
A world where there seems to be more than one is based on the idea that something is missing in oneness. Hence the sense of lack runs through all experiences of more than one. Therefore, since you feel nothing is good enough, you turn to transcendental meditation, drugs, and virtual computer worlds made with the help of AI (artificial intelligence) to simulate a better world within the simulation of a world where there seems to be more than one.
Eventually, you realise that no matter how much more you get, it is never enough. Hence you conclude that more than one is fake.
No worries. There is no illusion without reality. So if you perceive more than one as a symbol of that which is one, no matter how many you see, it does not make a difference.
Therefore, more than one is nothing, whereas that which is One is peace.
