From Pieces to Peace
How a WholeWorld View Can help Heal the World
Two and a half thousand years after the Chinese sage Lao Tzu maintained there could be no peace in the world until ultimately there was peace in the human heart, his wisdom remains as relevant today.
Looking back over humanity’s collective path since the end of the world wars of the twentieth century, there’s been significant progress in global well-being. Yet, for very many, such well-being has not materialised and unresolved problems and conflicts have become even more chronic and acute. Despite numerous warning signs over recent years our fragmented perspectives have continued to trap us in states of shared denial during which we couldn’t, didn’t or wouldn’t recognise the increasingly untenable realities of these issues.
For our collective psyche, as is the case with individuals, the pain is becoming unbearable and neither the unsustainable status quo nor denial of its unsustainability are any longer viable options if we’re to survive and thrive as a species and heal our relationships not only with each other but our planetary home. We have come to what doctors call a healing crisis.
The world events and remaining conflicts playing out through this turbulent time are literally mirroring the agony of our unhealed psyche; yet also and vitally, the hope and possibilities that awaits its healing.

Our behaviors are ultimately driven by what we believe about ourselves, each other and the wider world and whether true or false.
Our prevailing beliefs though, are a dis-membered perception of a fragmented and dualistic Universe.
Our traumas and fear-based behaviors are thus responses to our believed and so experienced fragmentations. They are the symptoms of our dis-eased world-view which have brought us to our current healing crisis.
Yet, as any doctor knows, trying to deal with the symptoms without actually addressing the root cause of a disease will not and cannot, heal it.
As long as we adhere to our fragmented beliefs about the nature of reality, we’ll continue the interplay of perceived duality in a continuing tug of war between different sides whose team members may have changed through time and circumstances, yet where the pull and push of polarities goes on.
What though if those beliefs of our dis-membered psyche are fundamentally wrong?
What if we can re-member the true and essentially unified nature of reality?
And if we can, what could it mean to us and to how we treat ourselves, each other and our planetary home?

Latest scientific discoveries are showing that the digital information whose existence, flows and interactions are the basis of all our technologies is exactly the same as the universal in-formation that is all that we call physical reality.
From in-formational patterns embedded on a holographic boundary and arising from deeper and causative super-physical realms, our entire Universe exists and evolves as a unified entity.
Our Universe is literally in-formed and holographically realized.
Vitally, such innate in-formation is not random data, but profoundly meaningful and so exquisitely set up and fine-tuned that it imbues our Universe with an innate and coherent evolutionary impulse from simplicity to complexity and ever greater individuated self-awareness
This emergent wholeworld-view not only restates, expands and reconciles the understanding of our physical Universe but more importantly unifies reality by its inclusion of supernormal phenomena, wisdom teachings and universal spiritual experiences, revealing that mind and consciousness aren’t something we have but what we and the whole world are.
Offering a radical re-envisioning of not only how the world is as it is, but why, such a wholeworld-view grounds physical reality in more fundamental realms of intelligence, causation and meaning.
It empowers us collectively to heal the pieces of our fragmented perspectives and so transform the behaviors that arise from them, inspiring us to co-create restorative, just and peaceful solutions to our global issues; valuing, empathizing with and celebrating our diversity whilst understanding, experiencing and ultimately embodying the unity awareness that is reality’s true nature.
