Wholly The dualistic perspective is at the root of our fragmented lives. We perceive that we have a family life, a work life, a spiritual life, and so on, moving our attention in the weekly hours from one compartment to another. We view the people we interact with as American or foreign, white or non-white, straight or gay, and distinctions more petty still. And we live out a daily chain of reactions, attempting to indulge those things we like, and evade the developments we dislike. As long as one lacks the wholistic view, the smooth completion that is embodied in the hub is lost to the blurring of the frenzied spokes. Every line we draw becomes a limitation, a subliminal barrier. Every circle drawn around ourself shuts “me” in, and defends against the potential flow. See that the entirety of life—and death—is a singular unbroken movement which isn’t affixed to anything on either end. Not any distinction that we make is any more important than any other.
