Oceanic is a work in progress that revolves around the experience of oneness. The phrase “oceanic feeling” was coined by Romain Rolland to refer to the sensation of being one with the universe.According to Rolland, this feeling is the source of all the religious energy that permeates in various religious systems, and one may justifiably call oneself religious on the basis of this oceanic feeling alone, even if one renounces every belief and every illusion.
