Being 'The One'

[idiot_stimpy]

If someone told you to be 'The One' what would it mean to you?

[nestentrie]

Knowing kung-fu of course.

[Jetsun]

Not two, non-duality

 

Not that "you" can be the one, you already are

[C T]

It would mean that its time to make myself a nice cup of Milo, sit down with a couple of biscuits and have a little chuckle.

[Marblehead]

I would have to ask, "Which One?"

If someone told you to be 'The One' what would it mean to you?

 

That my name was either Sam or Andy...

 

[idiot_stimpy]

So I had a near dream experience of meeting a humanoid cat person. I asked the cat what was needed. The cat replied, 'Be the One'.

[3bob]

I thought Neo was the one...

[voidisyinyang]

Neo kept saying he was not the One since he was really the "three in one" - needing Trinity to be the One.

 

still his Man of Tai Chi movie is better.

[nestentrie]

I think this is being 'The One':

The sage has no invariable mind of his own; he makes the mind
of the people his mind.

To those who are good (to me), I am good; and to those who are not
good (to me), I am also good;--and thus (all) get to be good. To
those who are sincere (with me), I am sincere; and to those who are
not sincere (with me), I am also sincere;--and thus (all) get to be
sincere.

The sage has in the world an appearance of indecision, and keeps
his mind in a state of indifference to all. The people all keep their
eyes and ears directed to him, and he deals with them all as his
children.

to master one's self. one in mind, body, and spirit

[PLB]

Why can't I have dream experiences like that?

In my dreams, I am never able to navigate from one place to the next and the humaniod creatures i encounter tell me:

"Get a job"

[manitou]

To 'be' the one infers some action, as it's asking you to be something other than what you are at the moment it is said to you.

 

The only action I can think of is just dwell in the state of Love to the best of our ability at any given moment.

 

Nestentrie - perfect selection! This is unconditional love that is being described, and lack of judgment toward others in the mind of the sage.
