I do believe that living people never truly become completely whole in the sense that we are always in a state of flux. We change constantly even when we are in our most stable moments so as to enable ourselves to solve the problems we've never accounted before or to achieve the objectives we had previously never realized.

This is not a sad answer to the question, however. It is the beauty of life that we are perpetually challenged to act, to adapt, to undertake, to change, to strive, and eventually, to achieve. Further, it should come as no surprise that we are changed by these efforts, constantly growing as individuals. We will likely never reach a point where we say, "I've nothing more to accomplish, nothing left to achieve," but goodness, what an unhappy life it would be if that were truly the case, for surely the greatest joy in life is that which accompanies achievement.

Hi Rena, I don't know if I believe that or not, I am 40 years old and I am very comfortable in life right now, so I think this is as whole as I am meant to be, I suppose it's possible I am not, but right now I feel content and whole. I am sure that there are a lot of people who aren't whole or feel they will never be whole, it really depends on the person and situation.

Personally... I don't believe in God so that isn't a factor for me. People should have sex WHEN THEY ARE READY! I lost my V to a horrible person, I was forced into it and I've regretted it ever since. The guy I was with after was a lot nicer and I was with him for almost 3 years and even though we aren't together now I wish I had waited for him... I was only 15 at the time but with him I felt ready... And now I see sex as a bonus in relationships... you shouldn't be with someone just for sex it shouldn't be an important aspect but is still a part of it all. I knew I would never wait till I got married...

No, rather it SHOULD be completed/accomplished!

Holiness, living wholly in the present - when no hidden parts of the defensive ego remain - also allows one to be the 'Seer' of the whole. Meaning, whatever the issue, situation, problem etc. you are capable of seeing the whole and thereby intending and creating an outcome that benefits the whole.

This is a rare state of consciousness ONLY because people don't understand it as productive of 'full aliveness' in the present and worth achieving.

That definition is different for every person. Where they are in life must be taken into account. Certainly, one can not expect a 6 year old to feel as satisfied with life as a 60 year old. I believe that those who wish to do so, strive for wholeness and answers to their questions, and daily work towards having a feeling of at least a status quo, and that is totally subjective in measurement as well. Once one has a sense of balance, they feel more whole than one who has yet to do so. Those individuals have the advantage that others have yet to come by, the knowledge of the inner self, knowing your limits and knowing your self. They are very simple lessons, and yet so difficult for us to understand or even put into practice. It's a gift we are all capable of discovering, we just have to allow ourselves to see it.

You can feel pretty whole when you are married, or with a partner or have a child....alot of people find this very fulfilling in life. However, to be completley "whole" i dont believe that is complete , or that we have run the course until the day we die.......Wholeness takes every day...every hour of our being...We are who we are by what we live, breathe, do, who we are around, what we love, what we partake of in activities, etc....but we are never complete until we are finished! (the breath is gone from us and we are done....

Wholeness is the state of completion.

I don't believe wholeness matters. Moments pass, life cycles in and out of focus and the more your try to hold on to concepts (such as wholeness) the more elusive they become. It is like daydreaming about wholeness; you have this idea about what wholeness may feel like, how you will feel when you are whole, what the world will look like etc..

If you live a life of awareness, breathing and simplicity you will likely experience things as they are and not as you would like them to be. Concepts such as wholeness are just placeholders for the aspiration to live fully in the moment. Once you begin to live fully in the moment, wholeness becomes meaningless because you are fully present, you are not dreaming anymore, you are simply living each moment to moment completely.

Yes. If it does, then God being a spirit Himself would have no need to create anything. I agree of the word perfection attributed to God. But being perfect, as in the spirit in us( the same image that is with God) has nothing to do with being completeness. Otherwise, we would have no business getting involved with the physical world if being spirit alone sufficiently make us complete, whole and perfect.

Adam and Eve were initially in a very perfect environment. But they knew intuitively they lack something. Their intuition lead to knowledge. And knowledge is gained through interaction with the physical world.

I knew what you meant, though wonder if what your asking is that we never become whole? In which case I would say that can only be when our long journey has come to an end and we come to know wholeness in the form of eternity.
