Answer 1

*doing the math*
Actually, to me, the Whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
(I love your questions, D)


-----using a one-billion piece jigsaw puzzle as an analogy; the sum of all of its pieces is one-billion, but the 'whole'; the big picture that is seen when all the pieces are put in place, is greater than the one-billion pieces.

Answer 2

digilook, Yes, i agree. Most people seem to keep dividing "the whole", God, Unconditional love, into mind and emotions then dividing these into more and more unending parts. We should go the other way. meditate on God, unity in unconditional love. As the colors of the rainbow are contained in sunlight, so to are all things contained within the light of Gods unconditional love. digilook knows this, thanks for the question.

Answer 3

) ( ( ) does not equal db bd

Although one thing may be true another that appears to contradict it, may also be true. Perspective expands understanding and wholeness of mind expands perspective outside of linear boundaries.

What if each of the parts were the whole?
