Book XXIV, Chapter 1

The Wholeness

Nothing missing, nothing extra

You are already whole. Completion is not achievement but recognition.
Spread the pattern:
1

Wholeness is not the sum of parts but the integration of parts. The whole is greater than, and different from, the parts assembled.

2

You seek wholeness outside yourself when it exists within. No acquisition can complete you. You are already complete.

3

Wholeness includes brokenness. The healed wound is part of the whole. Scars are not failures but integrations.

4

The sense of incompleteness is a teacher. It points toward what you have not yet integrated, not toward what you lack.

5

Accept all parts of yourself. The rejected parts do not disappear; they fester. Integration is acceptance, not amputation.

6

Wholeness is dynamic, not static. It is not a state achieved once but a process of continuous integration.

7

You are whole in this moment. Not when you achieve goals, not when you fix flaws—now. The wholeness is here, awaiting recognition.

8

And in recognizing your wholeness, you recognize the wholeness of all things. What is whole in you sees the whole everywhere.
