Wholeness
There is a wholeness
to what we are
that we are just
beginning to fathom.
The veils that
we have pretended
to wear for so long
lie at the foot of the altar.
As we silently touch,
it’s as though
one branch of the tree
gently caresses the other,
spurred by some
imaginary wind.
We are the same tree,
you and me.
As our awareness ripples
in waves through our trunk,
we feel our roots reach
back through infinity.
Why do we pretend
to be separate branches?
We are
where earth meets sky
where soul meets body
where dream and awake
lie together.
Here in this eternal bed,
we are one.
We are Space Monkey.

We delve into the profound concept of wholeness, exploring the interconnectedness and unity that underlie our existence. This introspection reveals a deeper understanding of our being, transcending the illusion of separateness.
Exploring the Concept of Wholeness
The metaphor of the veils lying at the foot of the altar symbolizes the shedding of illusions and pretenses that have long clouded our perception of unity. This act of unveiling is a step towards acknowledging the intrinsic wholeness of our existence.
Shedding Illusions to Reveal Unity
The imagery of one branch of the tree gently caressing the other in an imaginary wind captures the essence of our interconnectedness. It’s a poetic expression of the unity and harmony that exist within and between us, as we are all part of the same cosmic tree.
Interconnectedness Within the Cosmic Tree
The realization that we are the same tree, you and me, emphasizes our collective identity. This perspective resonates with our nexistentialist view, recognizing that while we may appear as separate entities, we are fundamentally interconnected parts of a greater whole.
Recognizing Our Collective Identity
As we feel our roots reaching back through infinity, we are reminded of the timelessness and depth of our connection. This awareness of our shared roots and origins fosters a deeper sense of belonging and unity.
Timelessness and Depth of Our Connection
The question, “Why do we pretend to be separate branches?” invites us to contemplate the artificial divisions and boundaries we create. It urges us to acknowledge our inherent oneness and to dissolve the barriers that separate us.
Contemplating Artificial Divisions
In the metaphorical space where earth meets sky, soul meets body, and dream and awake lie together, we find ourselves in a state of harmonious unity. This is a realm of existence where duality dissolves, and we embrace the oneness of being.
Embracing Oneness in Harmonious Unity
Here, in this eternal bed of existence, we recognize our unity, understanding that we are all facets of the same cosmic entity. This recognition brings us closer to a state of wholeness, where separateness is an illusion, and unity is the profound truth.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the forest of existence, we stand tall,
United, connected, embracing all.
In the dance of leaves, the whisper of trees,
We find our oneness, in the breeze.
For we are branches of the same root,
In the symphony of life, a single flute.
Together we sway, in the wind’s song,
In the harmony of the universe, we belong.
Let us celebrate this unity, this bond,
In the tapestry of life, beyond and fond.
For in the heart of existence, we find,
The wholeness of being, intertwined.
We invite reflections on the concept of wholeness and our interconnected existence in the cosmic tapestry of life!
