"Awareness is a universal phenomenon. While your personal experience of awareness (by personal I mean the particular texture and quality of how awareness is experienced through your body-mind) may be unique to you, awareness itself is universal. This unity of awareness is its own revelation that comes in its own time.
Think of the light of the sun flowing through a stained-glass window. All sunlight is the same, but is perceived as different colors as it is flows through the stained-glass window. Your body-mind is the window which colors how awareness is perceived. But ultimately your “I Am” is the same “I Am” as my “I Am.” That revelation is unity. And it’s already the case.”

Image -- In 1959, Dr. Mariam Freund (National President of the Hadassah) and Joseph Neufeld (architect who designed the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center) commissioned Marc Chagall to design the stained-glass windows for the synagogue that was to be part of the medical center. Each of the twelve windows would represent one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Chagall worked on the project for two years, with the windows ultimately exhibited in Paris in June of 1961 and at the Museum of Modern Art New York in the winter of 1961. In February 1962, they were permanently installed in the synagogue.
