The quest for, and towards, wholeness is a futile one. It's a distraction and an angst-ridden process. Life is not about balancing precarious energies, learning, striving, integrating or undertaking endless quests in some insane urge to become whole.
We ARE already whole. Complete Spirit Beings - eternal and complete - growing in consciousness as we travel through this Earth School.
Our only "job" in this Earth School is to re-member. To reconnect with the profound, sacred truth that we are Creators, Spirit Beings, Eternal and Whole.
So are we less whole as we experience Life to re-member?
Did the flower come first, or the seed? Is the seed MORE whole, as it contains the code and nutrients for a complete new life, or is the flower more whole, because in its intent, its living, it's beauty, it's sacrifice and its dying it created the seed?
Imagine the seed saying it's is more whole and perfect than the broken flower which enabled it.
The flower came from a different seed. Or was it? Has the flower simply returned to another form of itself - the seed - only more abundantly? One flower creates a hundred seeds.

Are we less whole during the unfolding of Life and the bringing to consciousness?
Is a child less whole because she doesn't yet know the chemical formula for the soap bubbles she plays with? Doesn't yet grasp that the same elements within the soap are in her own blood, bones and skin? Doesn't know that the burst bubble isn't "gone", but is merely chemically transformed?

Indeed, the purity of a child's wonder as she plays with the soap bubbles without knowing their chemical composition may, arguably, make her MORE whole. If indeed that was even possible.
The idea that we are NOT whole while we experience Life to bring things to conscious awareness is, I think, fallacious.
We are the flower AND the seed. The water, the soap AND the bubble. The idea of whole, or not, is only a matter of perspective and that artificial construct we have created called time.
As the seed becomes the flower and becomes 100 seeds, Life expands. Unfolds. But still perfectly whole, whichever part of the process you identify with at any given artificial point. Because in the Great Eternal Now we are all of those things, those phases, those expressions. The only thing that differs is the perspective from which we view it all.
Me? I choose the eternal perspective, where we are all completely whole, and simply re-membering who we are, and who others are. And as we learn and grow, there ARE no others, there are only different seeds from the same flower, which is also us.
One Love.
This post was written in response to @abundance.tribe's Bi-Weekly Question: What Does It Mean To Be Whole? I pondered so long I missed the deadline entirely, but it matters not. The purpose was served simply by driving the reflection process. You might enjoy to read the other reflections around this topic in the Tie-Up post What Does It Mean To Be Whole?.
Much gratitude to you, @trucklife-family, for posing such deep, and important, questions.
