w-5day3

Oneness as represented by any one has often to do with an idea. ( Similar as in the case of ‘keystone’ species in an ecosystem.) Such an idea as conceived in a mind is not something new or original: only that one has dared to express it in a way it confronts others and they cannot avoid it. Because in the face of circumstances that envelop them the idea has become self-evident and vital for the whole.
‘Freedom from Tyranny is man’s birthright’ was such an idea. American War of Independence was fought to prove it. Its success gave the French the wherewithal to drive off the Bourbon rule. Power of the authors of the Bill of Rights lay in Enlightenment in Europe; and also in the support given by many colonists who were conscious of injustice (for instance the British taxed them without giving representation in policy making). Power of One is all such like-minded people lending to one their time and energy for a specific purpose. George Washington for his service to the nation became first in the hearts of the colonists. He represented power of one.
