Misapplied wholeness - not everything is whole ✂️

I'd love more time and attention to lay out examples and investigate more of why I care to write about this, but here I am in a rush, so… 

Whenever we learn something new we often see it everywhere, even where it’s not. This is as true of wholeness as everything else. Seeing we were all stardust once, seeing how everything is interconnected, how wholes are also parts, we sometimes see a wholeness that isn’t there. Yes everything vibrates at a certain scale, but that doesn’t mean the right vibe will set a broken leg. Wholeness is a frame that can be misapplied, which is fine, but mis-applying often obscures uncomfortable truths. Sometimes pathology is just that. Sometimes things aren’t equivalent. Some things are better than others. Sometimes we want to bypass.

Or, seeing wholeness is a recognition that even non-wholeness is whole, in which case we still are free to reclaim disconnection, fragmentation, partiality.

Fun aside: You could see Integral Theory through this lens—to truly bring things together, we must often honor differences rather than erase them. The four quadrants is a way to set boundaries on methodological scope creep.
