What is the meaning of "One"

My Sunday Scripture 2010.5.16.

I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them."

John 17:20-26

My Reading Notes:
----------------------

We are all in one. Me, you, The Creator, The Creator's son, and many many.

We are actually one. We share bodies. We eat others. And we are eaten. Our bodies are composed from other bodies. And Jesus had made us to eat his body too. Every Sunday, people around the world, once they know God, they will share God's body together.

But, what is the meaning of One?

First we must think like one. We ought to raise our thinking level into the same measuring unit: the one. All other units, like "self", "nation", "family" are secondary. We are free once we have achieved this view.

Then we would have a second question. What shall we do when we are one???

Jesus had taught us that, we must love each other. We can die for each other. That is the real meaning of being one.
