Wholeness is the guiding principle of life that rushed humanity towards superhuman and shining heights.
The modern mind has developed a great power: the intellect. The heights being reached in the field of science where cause and effect of all things can be determined, quantified, and made “objective.” Our completely scientific bias makes us believe that we know everything. And in this way we keep the heart under the cloak of so-called scientific understandings. By applying the scientific method we explain everything, we fall under a dangerous trap.
The wisdom of the east offers the following advice:
“If the wrong man uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way.” - The Secret of the Golden Flower
The modern mind believes that method is not only the way, but also the result, or end. But method is only a path that, if taken by the right people, leads to a widening of consciousness and transcendence of the opposites.
Rationality and intellect are the wrong tools to penetrate wholeness. It’s important to keep in mind that wholeness by definition includes what we know and what we don’t know. To get that deeper part of the wholeness we must allow for the unknown to become a living reality.
