When Christ Jesus healed people, he often spoke to them about their wholeness. He ministered to them from the place of knowing that he and all of us are in truth one with Spirit, God. Being inseparable from Spirit as Spirit’s expression means that we are inherently spiritual and whole and have a deep completeness that extends beyond discordant circumstances and difficult situations...

Prayer reveals our innate and incorruptible spiritual wholeness...

― Bobby Lewis, A lesson from my donkey

Man, the compound idea of God, is intelligent and loving because God includes all intelligence and is Love itself. The substance of God includes all goodness. As we accept the indivisibility of true substance, our human experience will evidence the health, harmony, continuity, and permanence that characterize wholeness.

— Douglas Paul, Substance is not made up of parts

The original meaning of healing was „to make whole“. We can be healed of our separateness through our contact with something whole. We can know we are not separate from the whole, and we can know the universe through knowing ourselves.

― Kabir Edmund Helminski, Living Presence: A Sufi Way to Mindfulness & the Essential Self

... God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: ...

— Gensis 1: 27, The Holly Bible

When speaking of God’s children, not the children of men, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you;” that is, Truth and Love reign in the real man, showing that man in God’s image is unfallen and eternal. Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God’s own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick.

— Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

When awareness of the totality, of wholeness, dawns upon the heart, and there is awareness of the relationship of every being to every other, then there is no longer any possibility of taking an exclusive approach to a fragment and getting stuck there. As soon as there is awareness of wholeness, every moment becomes sacred, every movement is sacred. The sense of oneness is no longer an intellectual connection. We will in all our actions be whole, total, natural, without effort. Every action or nonaction will have the perfume of wholeness.

— Vimala Thakar, Spirituality and Social Action: A Holistic Approach

The vision of the whole I hold in my imagination is both already and not yet: It is true and present as something to turn to, to learn from, and to lean into, even while we work to bring it into clearer, visible expression around us. This whole is not imposed from the outside. It is not fragmented or fragmenting, not mechanical or mechanistic. It is alive and organic, unfolding and growing from within—if we let it.

— Libby Hoffman, The Answers Are There: Building Peace from the Inside Out

The image of God is our capacity for creativity, for justice-making, for compassion, for celebration...The recovery of our original blessing is the recovery of our original wholeness.

— Matthew Fox, Orignial Blessing

This book is about a new view of human nature — one that begins with trust, not suspicion; with hope, not fear.

— Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History

The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed.

— Parker Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness: The Journel Toward an Unfivided Life

― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

All I’m really saying is that this “us” vs. “them” has got us in the situation we are in. We have to see everyone as “us” and we have to start with “us.” If we blame “them” we have already lost. We will never be safe until everyone in this global village is our family. Until everyone is “us.” France is us and Palestine is us and Ferguson is us and Mali is us. I believe in us, and I love us, but I weep for us for what we do to us in the name of us.
