Then there is a sixth warp thread which is wholeness.
The word whole in the dictionary has exactly the same root as the word health.
Health means wholeness. There is a case in the Bible where Jesus said to the
patient, 'Wilt thou be made whole?' and then 'Behold, thou art made whole.' The
theme of the sixth thread is this recognition that we are made whole.
The great Jan Smuts, famous for many things, wrote a
thesis on the philosophy of wholeness. It was a marvellous contribution to
human knowledge. The heart of his theme is that wholeness is not made up of
bits; wholeness is bigger than the sum total of its parts.
