Holism & Holistic Thinking - Part 2
"Aberrations of the human mind are to a large extent due to the obsessional pursuit of some part-truth, treated as if it were the whole truth."
Essence: The higher elevation perspective helps melt away problems since new solutions arise which weren’t available before.
Many of your problems stem from a lack of holism and often you don’t see it.
Goal: Experience the shift and start to see how important and serious holism is.
It’s a massive tree trunk and people just dismiss it as a hippy idea of alternative medicine.
You can’t just compartmentalize science from nutrition, diet from psychological well-being, well-being from relationships, etc.
They’re not separate things.
Collective problems:
Environment & ecology
Littering and introducing new animals in foreign territory.
When you don’t see all the interconnections of systems you overlook a lot and things spiral out of control.
Western medicine
The lack of holism is almost criminal, and, in the future, you’ll be able to sue a doctor for behaving this way.
They’ll only look at a very narrow band of problems that you have.
If it matches their little list of symptoms, they might help you.
If it doesn’t, they don’t even think it’s a serious problem.
Holism = health
Nutrition
