John 17:20-23 (KJV)
“20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”

Fueled by Individualism psychology of adjustment would tell us the only abnormality is what the individual believes is abnormal. This defies the image we were created by and in. The Father defers to the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Son to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit to the both the Father and the Son. The unexplainable three-ness in their oneness is not as much that they are three in one as there is deference and there is relationship granting and sustaining oneness.
Creation declares Individualism as pure ignorance, or should I say, Individualism seeks to declare creation as pure ignorance. To except the image of God is to accept deference as a means to relationship and commonality. Interpenetration would mean our individualism can only possess significance outside itself; selfishness without deference is evil and seeks to separate itself from significant others. When we value our opinion above others we at that point have become segregated.
Satan segregated himself when he refused to be himself; he refused to receive his purpose in creation. This is the beginning of Individualism and is the spawn to all evil. Living outside our purpose in creation is excepting the lie of believing we are more important outside our purpose.
