I respect what you have to say but I have to disagree. This one consciousness is as void as the meaning of existence itself. We need to divide and conquer this is natural necessity. If we do not divide and conquer we are not able to make anything our own. We are not allowed to develop our own individual instinct. The I am therefore I think does not apply to any situation in real life. Rather I think therefore I am applies to every real situation in life. Only the real man can be responsible for himself and not have to depend on others for his existence. I suppose you can say that the act of thinking presupposes a single consciousness. It is merely nonsensical to try to make sense out of this one consciousness. It is better left to be a matter of intuition or of the heart to become a matter of the mind. I do suppose we should strive to unify ourselves with this one consciousness but in all actuality we can only hope for it to unify with us. We need to separate the "one" being because it also necessarily divided from the transcendental being but not by much. It is marginally divided in essence from the transcendental and divine. Separating things out allows us to posit a connection to the divine.
