is achieved in only one of two ways. Either one overcomes separateness by regression to the state of unity before awareness and before birth, or one develops one's awareness to such a point that one transcends one's own egocentric involvement, and arrives at a new harmony, at a new oneness with the world.

Basically, there can only be two answers. One is to overcome separateness and find unity by regression to the state of unity which existed before awareness ever arose, that is, before man was born. The other answer is to be fully born, to develop one's awareness, one's reason, one's capacity to love to such a point that one transcends one's own egocentric involvement, and arrives at a new harmony, at a new oneness with the world. Erich Fromm

is, despite what is often said, by no means the principle characteristic of human life. Principle of analysis that there is no unity in life, and that nobody understands anything of what happens.

Life goes down the river, from time to time touching a bank... staying for a while here and there. without understanding anything and it is the principle of analysis that nobody understands anything of what happens. The idea of the unifying unity of the human condition has always had on me the effect of a scandalous lie. (Lacan 1970 : pdf.)

is established in a community more by common hatred for something than by love, friendship and respect.

Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something. Anton Chekhov

is, in the case of the text, found not in its origin but in its destination. The reader makes the first unity of the text when he takes it up in his hands.

The reader is the space on which all the quotations that make up a writing are inscribed without any of them being lost... a text's unity lies not in its origin but in its destination. (Barthes 1977 : 148)

Unity can only be manifested by the Binary. Unity itself and the idea of Unity are already two.

is not a unifying unity, but the countable one, two, three.

I suggest you consider the unity in another light. Not a unifying unity but the countable unity one, two, three. (Lacan 1970 : pdf.)
