If oneness is the truth, and the individual is not a separate entity, then whatever is doing the creating must be what you are. If you are the creator, why are you doing such a lousy job?

Well...who is saying that X is doing a lousy job?
Is that all there is to your OP? Seems like something's missing.

Or, Oneness doesn't have any plans! Righto. Oneness is not a thinking, planning entity. The creative potential is sourced as undifferentiated Intelligence, but it can only think and create through individuated consciousness, which only experiences a tiny part of creation and suffers not only limitation but self delusion. The dreamer is not, in essence, the dream, but must create from within the dream. Neither the dreamer nor the dream character is running the show, just like in our nightly dreams, actually. Hencely, very poor job performance.

It looks like the best we can do is to watch the show with an open heart and an open mind, and contribute appropriately.

Hehe, "appropriate contribution" is even more confusing! ;D

Wow, I had no idea somebody wrote a book by that title! I guess Riponche explained in the book what the words mean. Maybe I should read it! ;D I did hear that Richard Gere narrated a long movie about the Buddha.
