Oh, thanks for your comment! I feel that you're clarifying something which I often express in all too vague and careless manner =)

For me this idea of "we are all connected" has been self-evident since my late teenage years, and around those times the realization was something like a spiritual experience, where I could feel the tectonic plates of my mind shifting, so that suddenly I was able to grasp new concepts which before appeared incomprehensible to me. And, indeed, if a mind is alien with the idea of oneness, then probably a no amount of rational reasoning is going to clarify the idea of oneness. So, sure - the actual meaning of "we are all connected" lies deep down in ones own mind - and if someone, deep down, feels oneself as an isolated, separate, self-contained entity, then I'm not here to convince them otherwise. For me these are not matters of belief, not a matter of dogma. But more like matter of personal deep spiritual experience, and we can't force those on other people. That's why I try to remind myself to stay humble, so that I'm quick to accept if it seems that my writings appear bogus to some another person.

This, of course, is a big topic and would probably deserve a blog post or a series of posts to take a deeper look. So in this comment I conclude by saying that I like the way you mention "It is [...] easier to divide something rather than to connect". Indeed! Sometimes I'm tempted to use metaphors of evolution and brain; a big part of our brain has evolved to make quick distinctions, to divide, to spot boundaries, to determine who is "us" and who is "them" - ie. whom you can rely on when the situation gets dire. So we might easily feel that making divisions is not only easy, but also necessary for the very survival, and the idea of letting go of that habit sounds silly and dangerous. But, luckily enough, we also have this innate ability to remember how we are all connected. Seen from that perspective the cognitive habit of making distinctions appears as a good tool we can use for a specific purpose, but we don't need to stick with it as an Theory of Everything =)
