Metaphorically, oneness is a movie playing so fast that there are no frames to see until slowed down. Then, you start to see distinct frames, as if it is a film about a world with more than one.
We see specific letter combinations as meaningful. And when the combinations are arranged like here, we assume that we read something somebody else wrote. Hence, we conclude that we are in a world with more than one. However, nobody sees this. What you see is your interpretation. Consequently, there is nobody but one. [Photo: Alexius]

The fantasy of more than one
Let us imagine that oneness consists of endless letters moving so fast that it is one perpetual present, making it impossible to see a specific letter. But if we imagine slowing down oneness’ infinite speed until there is space between the letters, they seem to have each their shape. Then, over time, we combine the different shapes in several combinations attributed to specific meanings. Hence, we have established space and time as real and one perpetual present as unreal.
Fortunately, you can easily undo the fantasy of a world defined by time and space by not slowing down thoughts but joining their rapid nature until there is no time to establish separation.
Suppose you need a moment to process this. In that case, it is not to understand it but to reduce the speed of thoughts so they can attest to separation as real.
The infinite speed of oneness
Everything moves infinitely fast in that which is One. Hence, there is no separation, like in the first image, where the extreme speed of the ceiling fan annuls division. However, when you slow down the fan, separation occurs. Likewise, a world with more than one appears to come into being when imagining slowing down oneness’ infinite speed.
Oneness versus a world with more than one
Oneness resembles a movie played so fast that its frames look like One. Hence, nobody sees anything. But if the film is slowed down, it is full of frames and oneness seems replaced by a world with more than one.
Therefore, if you believe in a world with more than one, you do not undo your belief by slowing down the movie with more than one. Instead, you speed up your interpretation of it. Since it is a construction of thoughts, the faster they move, the more the frames appear to press on, and the less you experience more than one.
That happens by itself when you do not shape thoughts into interlocking Lego bricks, building an appearance of you as someone in a world with more than one. Then, thoughts speed up until they ignite a take-off into the empty breath. Its nothingness wipes your slate clean, so you return to a world with more than one, knowing there is no more than One. Or you have your consciousness terminated by the Enlightenment of that which is One. In that case, there is no awareness to hide that there never was or will be anything but one perpetual present.
The same applies when you worry and do not try to appease yourself but instead step into the full uncontrolled speed of anxiety to ignite a take-off into the empty breath.
Epilogue
If you stop or slow down thoughts, you feel stuck in a motionless thought construction. That numbness of stillness has nothing to do with oneness. It is not deadlocked but free-flowing energy, moving at such a speed that it is shapeless, thus formless.
Therefore, you undo the belief in a world with more than one by not stopping thoughts from speeding up. Eventually, they do not appear to differ, so you cannot define yourself as someone specific. Ergo, no shapes appear to hide the formlessness of oneness.
