Jesus is praying for believers to be “one,” or unified, as brothers and sisters in Christ. That is completely different from being “one with the Divine,” which is a core concept of new age spirituality and the Eastern religions. ;-)

Ummmm, no -- read the entire passage. You are blinding yourself to the core of the prayer: "that they also may be one in Us,"

Look at the branches, vine and the vine dresser or dozens of other passages. They all speak to the same thing.
