In synergistic resonance with Janet's wonderful intro words, I offer these words...
In a symphony orchestra not only do the sum total of all the players EQUAL the whole glorious sound, but more than that is a real understanding that the sum of the players are actually GREATER THAN the whole piece of music - pointing to a Spirit of Wholeness - similar to the human race on our planet. And yet as beautiful and miraculous as even this is, further still is a Wholeness Perspective wherein each little grain of sand and each little blade of grass and every single tree and every leaf on every tree and each and every single human being - actually IS the Whole!
This miraculous fact is found in nature, it is not a matter of belief. And, as in a holographic film when it's cut or fractured and each separate shard still contains the whole image, it is also both science and spirit.
This new way of seeing offers to us a solution to fragmentation, and gives fresh meaning to Barbara Marx Hubbard's saying "Going the Whole way." When Einstein discovered that little packets of wholeness emerge when energy is released, it occurred to me how we ourselves are like little individual packets of Wholeness's walking around! And Foster Gamble has said "At the human level the wholeness is the individual, not the group."
What a glorious thing it is to be connected to All That Is so intimately! To be touched by this kind of love is an ageless story. How humbling it is to ask "What is the good of the Whole?" while at the same time containing the freedom of an empowerment not yet know. I am small and I am large at the same time. What kind of scale is this kind of love? How can I be of service to the Whole? Who, or What, kind of Life can think up this kind of song, this painting, this love, this freedom, this relationship? This Wholyness? For the good of the Whole is indeed holy.
