Well, we all learn that from mystical teachings of any kind. The question is why do we feel the opposite.
We could feel intimately connected to everything even with separate bodies, but that is not the case, is it?
The oriental teachings teach us that this perception of separateness begins with the buddhi (mind-enlightenment) principle, the 2nd of the triple spiritual ego:
"when we get deep enough in meditation, we discover that it was the subtlest aspect of Buddhi that first started to see division in ourselves and the universe. In other words, although Buddhi is used as a tool for deepening experience in meditation, it was Buddhi who carved up the universe in the first place, seeing division where there is unity. To discriminate between Buddhi and pure consciousness is one of the final stages in the meditative journey." (http://www.swamij.com)
Meaning that this feeling of separation is not caused by the material plane only, the root or cause is actually spiritual.
Also, the Omnipresent Love that is at the heart of all creation is so unbelievably Real that it is just too much for the soul to bear, choosing henceforth to hide from such an overwhelming, ego-nulifying sensation (love, like water, dilutes and connects all forms better than air, it connects the divisions).
All has been perfectly calculated by the Creator, and like the bible says, "there´s a time for everything", a time for oneness and a time for division.
