wholeness

A wholeness of being – or, to be more precise, a feeling of the wholeness of being – can only come about when the sense of separation has disappeared. For how can a part of the whole of existence feel whole in itself? This can only happen when that part is not separate from the rest of existence and is seen as not separate, felt as not separate. In this space, there is no possibility except to feel whole, for it is an all-inclusive state of consciousness.

It transpires that all our anguish was borne from the loss of this sense of wholeness. So as the feeling of wholeness returns, anguish disappears, without any other action needed. Wholeness, which is actually in reality there all along, is something to be felt. The price to pay is belief in separation. When that belief drops away, then wholeness will come. It is inevitable.

Yet we are brought up living in a world where most of us believe in separation, believe in the reality of a fragmented existence, believe in duality. These are all things created by the thinking mind. The fragmentation that we project onto the outer world is a reflection of the fragmentation of our own mind. It is in the nature of words to fragment. To go beyond fragmentation we must also go beyond words. We must feel life directly. We must live it directly, which can only be done in the present moment, here, now, with an intensity of consciousness.

In this way, going beyond the fragmentation and duality of words and thoughts, the sense of separation will dissolve. As separation melts away, the sense of wholeness returns. It is our birthright; it is our nature; it is our essence, to be whole, to feel our wholeness.
