Those of us in western civilization,
steeped as we are in mechanistic and reductionist thinking,
which, btw, is a worldview we created for ourselves,
have created the illusion that
we can 'understand' by examination of ever more infinitesimal parts.
But, this pursuit has left us with partial and myopic vision.
What is then clouded from our view
is the life-giving force that animates all the parts.
We don't see the synapses firing between the parts,
infusing them with creative spirit,
transforming them through relationship,
breathing life into and through them into each other,
connecting them into something far greater than any one could ever conceive,
The whole - the One.
