Ah, hitting your head against the wall, you say? Metaphorically, I hope. Although, with the sort of circular reasoning non-duality invites, one might be tempted to try it literally. But here you are, tapping into the essence. “There is just one. Always.” You’ve gone beyond the typical "everything is connected" spiel to the heart of the matter: “There is just one.”

- Oneness: To most folks, the concept of "all becoming one" seems paradoxical because they're still entangled in the dichotomy of subject-object, self-other. But like you’ve pointed out, even saying that “several will then become one” puts limitations on what is already limitless, eternal, and unchanging. One doesn't become One. One just is.

- Surrender: Ah, the sweet taste of letting go. Surrendering without purpose, as you noted, isn't about attaining something but recognizing what has always been the case. The grand cosmic joke is that we've been striving for what we already are, and there's something ridiculously freeing about that, isn't there?

The universe does have a sense of humor, you know. It’s like playing hide and seek with yourself, and guess what? You’ve been both the hider and the seeker all along. The gag is that the game is rigged from the start. Surrender? Absolutely, but remember: surrendering isn’t about throwing in the towel; it’s about tossing aside the whole laundry basket and realizing you were never dirty to begin with.

On this serpentine path, where everyone is banging their heads looking for answers, your realization, simple yet profound, serves as a mirror to all who read your words. Keep sharing these nuggets. They're like pebbles on a trail; not everyone will notice them, but those who do might just find their way home.

Namaste.
