What Does It Mean To Be Whole?

As we continue to navigate these crazy times, it is easy to become fearful, to let ourselves become crippled and give into the restrictions that are being put in place. But what if we disconnected from this public narrative and instead tapped into our inner knowledge and trusted our natural instincts. Would we still be so ready to believe?

What is important, is that we think for ourselves and do not allow others to do so for us!

The aim of these questions that the tribe puts forth, is to help us become more aware and through that awareness, become more empowered.

We are certainly living in challenging times and also inspiring times! So right now, it has never been more important to keep asking questions and to seek answers for yourself. Because we need to be informed, we need to understand and see the greater picture. We need to dig deep, so that we can connect with our own inner knowing.

We have so much to learn from one another. So it is important to provide opportunities, in which we can share our experiences and create better understanding as we move forward.

We had 9 responses to this question and I would like to thank each of you for taking the time to dig deep and share your thoughts with us all. In the spirit of Abundance, one of those writers will receive 20% of the payout of this post (myself not included obviously). I assigned a number to each response and asked one of my daughters to pick a number between 1 and 8. She choose number 2, which was for @prechyrukky's response.

It's about absolute faith, absolute self faith
In and out we know who we are, and what we are
Then comes the gentle fulfillment, pleasing fulfillment
Now we know about every moment, now every moment is lively moment.
We can see entire picture when we understand how life is happening, when we feel the essence of foundations of happening
Observe every happening, you are feeling something after every happening
Feel it closely, you will feel it closely
You will going to hear inner words, confusing but very emotional and touching words.

A complete human being is a being with moral and ethical principles and that his behavior does not negatively affect others, he only acts according to his conscience respecting the rules and norms of society and, moreover, this happens unnoticed since his way of acting and thinking will not create problems but a peaceful coexistence and a sovereign peace with the people around him.

The answer varies with person to person. The first relation of this world is husband and wife. This doesn't mean life become complete after marriage. After marriage majority of couples look for their kids to grow their race. After the birth of kids couple think to brought up their kids in the best way. When the kids grow up they start their own life. Parents now love to become grand parents. In this way the life goes on and it never remain feel the whole at any point.

I've decided to take on the Abundance Tribe question of the week and attempt to describe this elusive idea of "wholeness."
As I do, I recognize that it is going to necessarily mean different things to different people, because I think wholeness is more a direction of movement than a destination, though it contains both.
You see, we really are fundamentally whole to begin with. We are Spirit in human form. In fact, I think a part of who we are remains always in Spirit realm, not fully incarnating. As Spirit, we can never be anything other than whole.
But our human expressions get blocked, distorted, confused, fragmented and generally separated from this wholeness according to how we are raised, where we are raised, temperament, and life experiences.

We are born into this world whole, Everything that we need is already within us , we are perfectly in balance. We begin our lives living each moment mindfully and fully connected to the earth and ourselves.
Being so in touch, results in us feeling things deeply and picking up the energy of others and of the spaces that we inhabit and enter.
We see this all the time with babies, how they can suddenly become upset when a certain person comes near them or if they arrive at a certain place. They are so attuned to their surroundings that they pick up on even the slightest imbalance.

Truthfully, I feel no one can categorically define wholesomeness in a general term because I believe uniqueness of individuality to each and every human being on our planet earth is this reason why this is so, however every perception is important because different people at one time or the other will experience what it feels to be whole and that peculiarity is what makes it beautiful. In my own situation I feel being whole is something that's close to attaining an Inertia; a state where you're almost near perfection and at peace your spirit, soul and body.

We live in a state of constant air - perpetually in the realm of the intellect. It's not entirely our fault. The internet and mainstream media have a mighty pull. Fed by headlines and buzz feeds, advertisements in both visual and auditory noise storms, we are over stimulated and hyper alert. We are the wired through wireless generation, constantly on alert, constantly living in a fear state because everything is feeding into our heads. Think symbolically - the brain, the vessel for thought, ideas and intellect, is at the top of the tree, head in the wind. Our culture feeds this constantly, making us believe particular narratives to suit a capitalist agenda.

The definition of being whole is something that quite a number of the world's population hasn't been able to understand.
The simple definition of the word "whole" is being complete (when something is true and none of it is missing). But as humans, we go about searching for something to get some kind of wholeness and we may end up searching for wholeness throughout our lives and in the process, some of us may just quit and lose hope with the conclusion that life doesn't want us to be complete.

Life being a continuous cycle not only in physical form but also beyond that, there is a lot that we need to explore outside and within. Wholeness for me is completion of this cycle, understanding life in full circle, coming to a point where we can merge our individual consciousness with the cosmic, universal consciousness. Taking a view from macro to micro, from outside to inside, peeling the layers and going to the core. When one can go through all of these cycles, can one come to a state of wholeness, which also means for me a complete integration with self and the universe, the higher self.

Abundance Tribe Evergreen Collection #9: Breathing Life Into Paid Out Posts

Focalized by @artemislives

There are so many good posts which are enjoyed so fleetingly, or perhaps not at all. Maybe it was published before you joined Hive or not yet following that author? Or that was the week you were fasting in a yurt in Mongolia without wifi? Life happens and the 7 day post rewards window is short. Many would say too short. There are also just so many reasons why a post is overlooked, forgotten or received less reward than it should have: autovoters were down, token price crashed, or it was another Hard Fork within moments of you pressing 'publish".
