    A Deeper Understanding of Wholeness

    Written by Sen on June 29th, 2012

    The state of wholeness may very well look like a light natured state on the outside, in many ways, but

    in truth its far more deeper than a light natured state. The experience of wholeness and the experience of

    joy are two different feelings altogether joy is a purely light natured state, whereas wholeness is the

    balanced state that you come to when youve managed to integrate the dark and light energy in you. You

    must understand that the way I use the words like light, dark, positive, negative and wholeness are totally

    contextual to my way of defining them some other teacher/writer may use the same words to point to

    some other context, for example some teachers may use the word light to define a state of

    wholeness/balance, and dark to define a state of imbalance. Whereas, I use the word wholeness (as

    well as pure positive) to define the state of balance, and light/dark as the two polarities of life-energy,

    and negative as a state of imbalance toward either polarities. Its important to be clear about the context

    in which a writer uses his/her words because some words can take different meanings depending on how

    its used.

    The missing link in most teachings that end up giving an incomplete understanding is that they use words

    like positive and negative in a black and white manner, asking you to avoid the negative and force

    yourself to be positive. The mind automatically assumes that by negative they are talking about the dark

    nature components, and hence starts trying to suppress this component through force, trying to cloak it

    with imposed positivity (light nature) of some form this is when you start becoming polarized towards

    one nature, and this always leads to an imbalance of some form. Suppression is not the way to freedom

    ever, it only leads to imbalance, no matter what you try suppress in yourself for example, when you try

    to suppress fear, you become more fearful, when you try to suppress sadness, you attract more sadness

    (because indirectly you are fearing sadness and your fear of it is like a direct interest/focus towards it).

    The way to wholeness is in the state of allowing, both, the light and dark nature components in you, till

    they balance out each other, thus coming to wholeness (also called unity consciousness). Oneness in its

    true meaning is to realize that dark and light are two polarities of the same one energy, and the only way

    to experience a state of wholeness is to integrate both these components in you.

    The state of wholeness is a different experience altogether, its difficult to explain this place clearlywithout giving some imagination of it being light natured I can use terms like stability, balance,

    peaceful joy, unshakeable calm, a causeless love, etc and they all ultimately look like light natured

    states but their experience is far deeper than any light natured state. When one is polarized towards a light

    natured state of being, one is in opposition to the dark natured components, and this opposition by itself is

    rooted in fear (or separation/dualistic thinking) and hence is not a state of oneness, its not a state of

    wholeness it may feel good, for a while, but you will know that something is missing. In a state of

    wholeness you inherently know that nothing is missing, you feel home, you feel stable, you feel

    full-filled.

    A state of wholeness is neither dark nor light

    When you truly sense wholeness, you also sense that it doesnt have the flavor of dark nature or the flavor

    of light nature it has a flavor unique to itself. This is one reason why a lot of teachers say that its

    difficult to explain this state with words because all words are taken by the mind and referenced to some

    state that it already knows of, but since wholeness is a state that it has not tasted it does not have a

    reference for it and hence it always misunderstands the words. When I, now, see different teachers talking

    about this state of wholeness while using other words like oneness, love, light, divine or merging, I totally

    get what they are talking about because my mind has a reference for it, because of personal experience,

    but I remember totally misinterpreting the same teachings when I did not have a personal reference for it

    its very normal to do so. I always misinterpreted these teaching to imagine that they were pointing to

    some light-natured state. This misinterpretation is usually the cause for endless seeking, for endlesssearch, because you cant experience the wholeness they talk about until you understand that they are not

    talking about a light-natured state but a state of balance.

    When you become stabilized in a state of wholeness, you dont sense any dark nature component in you

    individually, neither do you sense any light nature component in you individually its like a different

    dimension of living. The feelings that you had when you were in a state of imbalance, and the feelings

    you have when you are in a state of wholeness are completely different experiences altogether, a totally

    new flavor. For example, the anger you feel in the state of wholeness is nothing like the anger you feel in

    a state of imbalance this anger does not have the feel of the past anger as such, its difficult to even label

    it as anger. The same way the joy that you feel in a state of wholeness is completely different from the joyof the state of imbalance, it has a completely different taste to it. In one sense, you really dont sense any

    dark or light components individually anymore, they are both merged fully and coherently into one. This

    is the place you will ultimately find yourself in as you move towards allowing the integration of the dark

    and light in you (by simply staying in state oftotal allowing).

    As you reach the state of wholeness you start experiencing several inner changes, its like an unlocking of

    various pockets that were closed down before. These inner changes may be physical (like healing, change

    of skin tone etc), it may be at a mental level (change of personality, increased brain acumen etc) and of

    course at the emotional level in the way you experience relationships of all forms. If you have some

    knowledge of Chakra system in the body, its said that humans mostly abide in the lower three chakras ina state of imbalance, while a movement towards the state of wholeness opens up the upper four chakras,

    and above but these are just details, you dont have to be too concerned about it, rest assured that a state

    of total allowing automatically rings in the required changes (be it physical, emotional or mental) towards

    wholeness. You will surely see a lot of physical changes in you (many of you might have experience your

    body feeling lighter or feeling transparent/spacious within, this is because your cells have become less

    dense and thus more transparent), internally and externally, along with changes in your level of perception

    and your emotional equation, its like being upgraded to a new version of software and hardware.

    What type of reality is manifested in a state of wholeness?

    You may wonder how realities can co-exist on Earth between humans who are becoming balanced and

    humans who are still imbalanced, when the latter is mostly in the majority. The truth is that Earth (also

    called Gaia), as a celestial consciousness, is by itself evolving towards a higher vibration state, akin to

    wholeness, as a natural movement of growth/evolution (they say there is a cycle of evolution every

    26,000 years, but thats just details). The vibration of Earth and its atmosphere is now more suited for

    vibrations close to wholeness than starkly imbalanced vibrations, and hence people who are heavily

    imbalanced feel the pressure, even more these days, to move into balance. There are many scientific

    studies that have detailed a change in Earths energy field as well as the solar energy field, over the past

    few years, almost as if its moving into a new state of being (which it is). You are bound to see a lot of

    people (and corporations) moving towards balance in the next few months, in many ways, through theirown journeys, and the vibe on Earth would come towards a state of wholeness as a majority. This vibe

    will ensure that realities based in wholeness are of the dominant nature on Earth and I am not talking

    about years, I am talking about a few months for you to see this change.

    However, right now is a transition period, and like any transition period there is a feeling of uncertainty

    and even a feeling of chaos. This is normal, and it serves a purpose towards breaking down set patterns of

    purely egoistic/separatist thinking, imbalanced structures of belief (and realities created from them) and

    narrow perspectives. A lot of humans are having their wake up calls, either through events happening in

    their life or through episodes of sudden fear coming up in their mind, you may wonder why you are

    having so many fearful thoughts out of the blue rest assured, these are all just wake up calls, nothing

    more, and their intention is simply to awaken your awareness so that you can balance out to match the

    vibration that Earth is moving towards. Instead of trying to suppress these wake up calls, surrender tothem by coming to a place of allowing and you will allow the inner transformation thats being called for

    its all a movement towards a greater well-being, of wholeness. Your mind might get into a panic, as the

    old patterns start getting shaken up, and say somethings going wrong, but the opposite is the truth a

    new order of living is being established, a new vibe of existence, a new state of consciousness based in

    oneness.

    If you are feeling uncertain, and confused, about where your life is headed, as all your old realities and

    thought patterns lose their hold, just be rest assured that its just a temporary phase of reconstruction,

    and you will see stability in your external reality soon enough. For now, in the next few months, just focus

    more on bringing an inner stability by being grounded more in allowing than in trying to sort it out. Youwill look back upon these times and realize that it was a necessity to ring in a new reality. I totally

    understand the challenges that your mind may be facing with respect to the fear of the unknown, moving

    into the unfamiliar domain of this new vibe (having only known the vibe of imbalance all along), but this

    is just a temporary unease, you will soon feel grounded in this new vibe and you will see your realities

    reflecting the same wholeness you experience within. Realities created in a state of wholeness have a

    harmonious feel to them, there is no stark contrast, and the interplay of light and dark is hardly of any

    intensity, and these realities are malleable allowing you to shift easily into new ones, no longer having

    these feeling of being stuck (which is so common in the dense realities created in imbalance).

    Its not that I am being an optimist or an idealistic, I am neither. I am just stating what I sense as thenatural movement which is taking place. One of the advantages of being in a state of wholeness is that

    you have no resistance to the insights that come from within, the knowing that comes through from

    your inner being (which has the top view) hence you are well informed of where you are heading, and

    this brings a sense of security which is not rooted in some blind faith but in a certain knowing.

    Dont fight the inner change

    A lot of people have resistance to becoming different, because they feel vulnerable about leaving their

    past identity/personality. Whereas, some people are so fed up with their past identity that they welcome

    the change unequivocally. The latter are the ones who allow this process of inner transformationseamlessly, while the former are constantly at odds with it. For example, a lot of dark natured people

    dont want to give up some of their dark natured traits, like their aggressiveness (which they think is

    needed for their defense against the world), however you cant move into wholeness while holding on to a

    dark natured trait. Another example would be of a light natured person who feels immensely guilty about

    allowing the dark components like hatred in him/her, trying to hold on to this sense of being all loving,

    one cant move into wholeness while holding on to such light natured beliefs. One can say that wholeness

    is a state of being all loving, but love has a totally different flavor in this state, its not the same

    experience as what you have when you are imbalanced towards light nature.

    I think humility plays a big role is how receptive one is towards allowing inner change. The only problemis that most arrogant people think they are humble, and their fake humility is just a mask they wear to

    protect their arrogance. True humility has an openness to it, its not standing on guard, its not holding an

    armor, its like an open hand, its not a closed fist its not meekness, there is a strength in it, openness

    requires true courage. You either allow humility or your learn humility the hard way, these are the only

    two options Ive seen in my own personal experience (and I was rooted in the latter for a long time).

    Dont be so opposed to letting your guard down, at least with yourself, dont be so terrified of finding out

    how frightened you really are within, allow this fear courage is not about fighting fear, its your capacity

    to allow fear. Its this state of allowing that brings you seamlessly to a place of wholeness.

    Dear Sen, I am finding myself in many of the transitional states that you describe in your posts. At

    some point of my career (I am a dancer) I had a strong desire for joyful and struggle-less way of

    exercising my profession. Since that moment I have been led down the path that you point out as

    coming to the place of allowing, maturing, coming to balance. At the same time, objectively, I have

    lost many of the old relationships and structures and find myself currently in a place where

    nothing is happening. As you mentioned in one of your posts, I have created a situation in my life

    that could be labelled a nightmare from a certain point of view. I have beautiful visions of my

    career as I desire it, yet right now I feel to be at the ground level. My mind is telling me, panicking,that I should get out there, be in action, find opportunities. My heart is telling me to align with my

    desires and do nothing unless inspired. This is very challenging, as it is a totally different way of

    living for me. It feels often like waiting or like things are not happening. I am continuing the

    inner work of releasing the resistances to my desires (such as my fear of not surviving financially,

    my fears of not finding work, of not becoming successful). I am allowing all the feelings of

    unworthiness and hopelessness and frustration and depression. I feel I am in-between realities. My

    old reality and identity have dissipated. Some new realities have come into place, yet my most

    cherished desires are yet not manifest. At some moments I feel as if I have never been this far from

    my desires and that it is all lost and without hope; at some other moments I feel I have never been

    this close, that all is well and that I know it will be as I desire. I feel so many internal changes, yetwhen asked what is going on in your life I have to say, very little. Whereas my desire is to be

    very busy with my profession, my desires is for things happening, travels, work, performances,

    excitement, dynamics, relationships. Could you comment on this? Is this a lull you have

    experienced yourself? Giving up on my desire feels like giving up on life, and I do not wish to do

    that. I love my vision. I love what I do. I love how I do it. I know that the hopelessness of my

    situation is just a judgement of the mind. I know that internally I have come a very long way. I

    often feel just on the brink of the new life and career I desire. I often feel as if my new vibration and

    my old vibration both play out in me, keeping me in this place of nothing happening.

    ReplySen says:

    As you see, these feelings of unworthiness and frustration have always been around in some

    way within you, and its only in this place of allowing that you are able to face upto to them

    and thus allow their release. So this is not a phase of lull, but a phase of a lot inner growth

    and maturing, which is integral to the expression that you desire to live. Dont see this as a

    phase of inactivity, rather its phase of preparing the inner foundation for a living an aligned

    life you will notice that you are well taken care of during this phase, though the mind keeps

    fearing that nothing much is happening.

    Susan, a deeper pointer is to realize that its not about building hope, but about allowing a

    sense of hopelessness also, if it arises, instead of fighting it. If you try to be hopeful, it will

    be an effort and it will become a resistance to being in a state of allowing (and hence a

    resistance to a release and inner transformation). When you come to a state of inner balance,

    you dont need to be hopeful, you just have a clear inner knowing of your well-being

    automatically, without any effort on your part.

    July 6, 2012 at 3:09 pm

    George, I think you are getting too conceptual instead of just keeping it simple. The simple

    pointer of observing the mind is to allow your mind its thoughts and movements without

    jumping in to sort it out. The brain (mind) is a neural network which produces thoughts, you

    can observe your brain just like you can observe your heart beat, its not somethingcomplicated. Just observe your brain and sense its thoughts, without trying to sort it out,

    without judging it. Just doing this practice for a while will create a stronger space of

    awareness in you so that you are not completely lost to the minds pull. With time, you will

    grow in stability to observe the mind and let go of being identified with its negativity and

    thus reduce its momentum to the point where it no longer influences your being you need to

    be patient and allow yourself the time to reach this stability, its a journey of its own, a

    journey of regaining inner stability.

    Sen, I was directed to this article by you a few days ago and so much you say seems to be making

    more and more sense to me at this time in my life. Thank you. I definitely feel like I am in a

    transitional period, where I am beginning to see my life objectively rather than directing blame on

    others or the external world for my problems. In reality, there is nothing that can be blamed,

    because as you say this imbalance is not rooted from the outside, but from within. I am beginning to

    see all (or most) of my problems and difficulties come from an opposition to what is, founded

    upon false beliefs the ego adopts.

    With my anxiety, I fear judgment, but only because of the negative judgments I cast on myself.

    Around others, I will often feel like i NEED to be instead of just BEING. This NEED to besomething around others I think is put into motion by fear. I am learning that if I stop rationalizing

    my problems, and tell myself they arent even real (which in my case they mostly never are, only

    self-creations) then the feelings, memories, stories, all begin to fade away and the unease goes. In

    this way, I am letting the NEED be. You cannot fight the opposition to what is as so many of us I

    believe do. You must understand what this opposition is; befriend it, instead of wage war with it. In

    doing so, you stop feeding fears fire.

    If I want my anxiety to leave, and true happiness to come, I believe that I should begin to act and

    express out of love and not fear. But the kind of love I am talking about is not one that suppresses

    the experience of fear, (or the experience of anything for that matter) it is the one that embraces it,

    and in doing so sees beyond it.

    I have said a lot, but I would be very interested in what you have to say with my post. How else can

    I learn to just BE, without the weight of fear and guilt? Can I ever undo this terrible conditioningand experience true happiness?

    Alex, just be careful not to make all this into a mental strategy any strategy is bound to

    become a hang up sooner or later. A pointer is useful to see a negativity and then let go of

    identification with it, not through fear-based ignoring but an open allowing. If you try to

    act out of love, it can easily become a mental strategy no matter how cleverly the mind triesto disguise it the reason I say this is because I understand the minds capacity to make

    anything into a technique. The state of allowing transcends the mind, the mind is what is

    being allowed, so its not a mental strategy but a way of moving from your space of being. It

    will take time before you start finding a real grounding in your space of being, and when you

    do you will sense that you no longer need any strategies to deal with the moment, you just

    move from inspiration. For now just connect more with the state of allowing and allow the

    momentum of your mind/emotional-space to reduce.

    Im feeling a lot more whole lately. During the transition phase, is it normal to have days where you

    find total allowing effortless and natural and then other days where your mind might freak out and

    go into a mind momentum frenzy? Ive found total allowing to work for me, but it definitely took

    me sometime to get to that point. It wasnt easy after dwelling and being imbalanced in my dark

    nature for so long, but now I almost feel like Im glowing on the inside. Sometimes I can even feel

    energy as it goes through my body. This feeling tingles my whole body and makes me feel whole. I

    know that I need to stick with what works for me, but is it natural to have some days where your

    mind just freaks out and tries to go back to its old ways. I feel like my negative ego is still trying toremain in control but Ive stopped listening to it. Is the negative ego always going to be in me in

    some form? Is a negative ego necessary for balance?

    As you progress through this process, you will reach a point where you no longer feel the

    force of resistance created by this movement of imbalance (which is what a negative ego is).

    Just let yourself to be more open to allowing rather than holding a stance of fighting the

    negativity as it arises within you, if you sense that you are afraid of the presence of thisnegative ego its an indication that you are holding an offensive stance in some way instead

    of being totally allowing you will know when you hit the point of inner wholeness/balance.

    Can we actually solve our problems with the conditioned mind? And is there any original thought

    from the conditioned mind?

    What about the wisdom that arise from inner wholeness? Does it also arise from a mind? Are there

    different kinds of mind, eg. conditioned and intuitive mind?

    starlight, instead of looking to categorize the various aspects of physical and non-physical

    intelligence (which is nothing but a lot of concepts) its more useful to simply understand that

    the less rooted you are in negativity the more open you are to solutions. Basically, if you

    simply stay in a space of total allowing, without feeling the need to struggle, or sort out, or

    figure out effort-fully, you will be open to allowing solutions and insights/intuitions

    seamlessly. Certain conditioning of the mind has its practical usefulness, but a lot of

    conditioning can also become patterns of limited/narrow thinking, and the more you are

    rooted in purely moving from your limiting conditioning (out of fear of being different) the

    more you resist your natural expression. The easiest way to connect with your natural

    expression is to connect with your space of being, through the practice of staying in a place

    of total allowing (read the post the power of allowing)

    inquisitive nature and it feels right to me, but a lot of times the results are not positive because I

    have delved into it much more than any other would. For instance, a new network marketing

    opportunity after presenting itself very positive, has moved south now because I have unanswered

    questions and was made to feel negative because I was over analyzing. I dont want to get sucked

    into a scam and am trying to do my due diligence and think logically not emotionally.

    vaca, you dont have to quit analyzing, rather whats needed is to add a new dimension of

    intelligence to your mind, which is the dimension of your beings intelligence. Right now you

    may be too mind-oriented in your thinking and hence you may lack the sense of feeling

    guided from withing, a sene of inner clarity and stability. Whats needed is that for a while

    you just let go of making an effort at figuring things out, and just let yourself connect with a

    simple space of just being, allowing your mind to think passively, allow the emotions and

    feelings to arise freely, but just continue resting in your being you can do this as a practiceinitially, may be for 20 to 30 mins a day to start with. As you gain some grounding in your

    being, you will sense that you can rely of your inner guidance because you can hear its voice

    very clearly, you can sense that you dont really need to move from the influence of

    analytical thinking alone, rather you can move from a deeper inspiration/intuition which

    does not give you an analytical reasoning rather it just gives you a solution that you can

    following from a place of inner trust. You will gain this sense of trusting your inner guidance

    as you connect more with your being, this trust is like the trust of knowing something without

    really analyzing it like knowing when a business opportunity is right for you without overly

    analyzing it. Let the mind analyze, but you dont have to get embroiled in the analysis, rather

    you just need to connect with your space of being, and allow intuitions and insights to comethrough, allow your mind to be touched by the intelligence of your being. You can read this

    post the space of being for more insight.

    Sen,

    First and foremost I stumbled upon your website trying to find an answer to why my negative

    thoughts consume me. Ive been saying for months now that i feel like i live inside my head and not

    in the world because i am constantly consumed with thoughts and battling these thoughts try and

    feel normal and it may work for a few hours or so but i constantly get back to square one of

    fighting with myself just to live. Im only 19 and daily i search for ways to enjoy life and just take in

    its experiences but i feel i miss out on those chances because im constantly in my mind. What Im

    saying is Im glad i found your site because although its only been a few days i feel like i have a

    better understanding of life and how to eventually get to where i want to be and thats in a state of

    total allowing and wholeness. But i do struggle with turning everything into a routine, mayb

    because i have ocd and am constantly having obsessive thoughts that i try ot control rather then just

    let be and accept these thoughts. I am getting better at it but my question really is, because

    personally i have trouble with this, my problem is allowing my mind to do what it wants and

    acceptig without interferring i read on an earlier comment that you could observe the mind just asyou observe the brain and that helped me a bit, but if you have any insight on how i could really let

    my thoughts just flow and acccept them without interferring and tryin to fix them. By the way

    this is the easiest Ive ever expressed myself usually my mind says things like what if you cant

    express yourself and i sit there tryin to fix my brain when i should jus allow it and keep goin so i

    Nunzio, the state of unconsciousness is simply a state where a person is identified with the

    mind without a choice, mostly because he/she is not even aware that its possible to have the

    choice to not identify with the thoughts. Youve just started on the journey of becoming

    aware of the mind (whereas previously you were mostly just lost in identification with it),

    and with time you will keep growing stronger in the stability of your awareness, to the point

    where you no longer feel at the mercy of your minds thoughts, rather you feel an inner

    freedom to letting go of being pulled in by a thought. For now, what will help is that you

    simply spend time practicing the state of simply sitting and allowing (may be for 20-30 mins

    a day initially) your emotions and your thoughts to have a free movement all you need todo is relax your hold on your mind/body, and just let be, let the emotional energy arise freely

    and allow your mind to have free expression of its thoughts, since your awareness is relaxed

    you will see that you dont get pulled in I also call this the practice of relaxed awareness. It

    takes time before you can sense a real stability in your being/awareness, where you dont feel

    pulled by the emotions or your thoughts its important to not get hasty, give yourself atleast

    4-5 months before you can start sensing an inner stability. OCD is simply a state of

    unconscious mind identification, the more one grows in stability of awareness the more the

    mind loses it pull on the being and hence loses its momentum (thus loses its capacity for

    OCD)
