#wholeness

[leonardospoetry]

Can we really draw a line between a moment and another moment? It might be just like drawing a line on a map, while the real place remains a continuum.

Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one's being, but by integration of the contraries.

Carl G. Jung

“Wholeness does not mean perfection: it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life.”

Parker J. Palmer, from A Hidden Wholeness: The Journey Toward an Undivided Life

[themotherofrevelation]

Isolation is the matrix of disease. Healing/wholeness is an act of communion.

Furthermore, the very attempt to define how a philosophical work is supposed to be connected with other efforts to deal with the same subject-matter drags in an extraneous concern, and what is really important for the cognition of the truth is obscured. The more conventional opinion gets fixated on the antithesis of truth and falsity, the more it tends to expect a given philosophical system to be either accepted or contradicted; and hence it finds only acceptance or rejection. It does not comprehend the diversity of philosophical systems as the progressive unfolding of truth, but rather sees in it simple disagreements. The bud disappears in the bursting-forth of the blossom, and one might say that the former is refuted by the latter; similarly, when the fruit appears, the blossom is shown up in its turn as a false manifestation of the plant, and the fruit now emerges as the truth of it instead. These forms are not just distinguished from one another, they also supplant one another as mutually incompatible. Yet at the same time their fluid nature makes them moments of an organic unity in which they not only do not conflict, but in which each is as necessary as the other; and this mutual necessity alone constitutes the life of the whole. But he who rejects a philosophical system [i.e. the new philosopher] does not usually comprehend what he is doing in this way; and he who grasps the contradiction between them [i.e, the historian of philosophy] does not, as a general rule, know how to free it from its one-sidedness, or maintain it in its freedom by recognizing the reciprocally necessary moments that take shape as a conflict and seeming incompatibility.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, The Phenomenology of Spirit (Phänomenologie des Geistes), translated by A. V. Miller

Healing and wholeness. Thank you so much for supporting my work! patreon.com/kimchicuddles

text reads:

People respond to trauma in so many different ways, and the ones I don't recognize from my own experience sometimes confuse me.

People heal from trauma in so many different ways. 

The things that helped me were sometimes so far from my initial strategies for healing that they confused me too...

And made me notice that some of the things I thought were keeping me safe 

were actually keeping me walled away from my own wholeness.

There are a lot more people who would rather play house than build foundations.

And I never thought I was one of them.

But letting you love me has shown me how alone I'd been keeping myself in the company of others.

The whole contains nothing which is not for its advantage; and all natures indeed have this common principle, but the nature of the universe has this principle besides, that it cannot be compelled even by any external cause to generate anything harmful to itself.

— Marcus Aurelius

[feralchaton]

I want days filled with wonder, love, passion, and art in a gentle & peaceful way. A natural way. I want my downy-soft kindness to remain alongside my razor-sharp edges. I want more. More depth, more shadows, therefore more light; more hope, more dancing, more rain and rainbows; more laughter, more adventures, more cheeks hurting from smiling too much, more meet ups and greetings, more sweet farewells fading into see you laters. More warmth, no matter the temperature, more grace, more travels - near, far, and further than imagined. More accountability, more respect, less reclusivity, more friends; more realness, more showing up for myself. No more waiting for the perfect time. More creating the time and moments because it was always a matter of creating ourselves full and overflowing with what is in, and fuels, our hearts and souls. More flowing, keep going, more being - in the moment, in the present. More being myself.

May we be, trust, and live our lives as our truest selves.

Without discovering the wholeness, the deepness and the completeness that lies within your heart. You’ll jump from job to job, person to person, dream to dream. And will only be pushed back into yourself to discover what you seek outside.

I am not who I was and I embrace the process of becoming who I was born to be. The joy lies in the journey ....
