# Wholeness > Bashar teaches wholeness as the default condition of a being rather than an achievement to be earned, locatable in accepting yourself as already whole and in the structural integration of physical mind with higher mind as a joined field. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/wholeness # Wholeness In these two transcripts Bashar treats wholeness as the default condition of a being rather than as an achievement to be earned. The first source locates wholeness in the inner stance of accepting yourself as already whole, even while you may be playing as if you are missing pieces; the second source locates wholeness in the structural union of the physical mind and the higher mind. Together they describe wholeness as both a recognition (you already are whole) and an integration (the joining of aspects that have been treated as separate). ## The dream of missing fingers In Breaking The Seals a listener describes a dream in which two of her fingers were cut off and she put them in her mouth to keep them alive. The hospital in the dream would only reattach fingers for children, not adults. Bashar reads the dream as a teaching on wholeness. The missing pieces are a perspective rather than an objective condition: the listener is really a whole being even while playing as if she is missing pieces. The hospital rule reflects the law that children automatically trust they are whole and so their experience of separation is transitory, whereas adults on this planet have often bought into the idea that missing pieces is the ultimate truth of self (for example, the doctrine of original sine — born incomplete, born bad). Because the listener has chosen to cross that line of believing she has missing parts, no one else can interrupt the game for her. ## Acceptance is the condition for discovery The paradoxical move in the teaching is that accepting yourself as you are is what makes the discovery of further wholeness possible. Bashar says that "if you accept yourself as whole as you are, paradoxically, you are capable of then discovering more of the wholeness that you have begun to treat or were treating as cut off parts." Responsibility for that remembrance belongs to the individual: no one else can do it, because no one else can interrupt the game of pretending to be missing pieces. The teaching does not require pretending nothing is unresolved; it requires treating the sense of incompleteness as a chosen perspective rather than as the truth. ## The Merkaba: above and below joined The second source extends wholeness into a structural integration. Asked about Merkabas, Bashar describes them as representational geometric patterns of consciousness, and says specifically that what is called the Merkaba represents the connection between the physical mind and the higher mind. "What is above is also below" — the union and junction of those two energy states is what allows a person to become a whole person. Wholeness here is not only the integration of self-fragments but the integration of the ordinary awareness with the higher perspective that holds the larger view. To be whole, on this telling, is to be the joined field of physical mind and higher mind, not one at the expense of the other. ## Practical implications Within the framework these sources offer, a learner who feels incomplete can first treat the sense of missing pieces as a perspective being maintained rather than as the truth about themselves, then ask which "pieces" they are treating as cut off and whether they are willing to remember themselves as already whole while continuing to integrate. The Merkaba image suggests pairing this with a clearer relationship between ordinary awareness and higher perspective: physical mind perceives what is happening, higher mind holds the larger view, and wholeness is their joined operation rather than the dominance of either one. The teaching is metaphysical and concerns the inner stance of the learner. It is not a clinical claim about dissociation, trauma, or any medical condition, and it is not a substitute for mental-health care when integration work requires professional support. The "you are already whole" framing should not be read as minimizing the role of therapy, diagnosis, or treatment for conditions in which a sense of fragmentation is part of a clinical picture. ## Representative passages If you accept yourself as whole as you are, paradoxically, you are capable of then discovering more of the wholeness that you have begun to treat or were treating as cut off parts. ... You are only responsible and the only one who can be responsible for remembering that you are whole.— Bashar, Breaking The Seals (breaking-the-seals#qa-8) No child would ever conceive of such a thing. ... adults on your planet often create the idea that they are born incomplete, born missing something. They are not worthy, not whole in the eyes of creation.— Bashar, Breaking The Seals (breaking-the-seals#text) What you call the Merkaba represents the connection between your physical mind and your higher mind: what is above is also below, the union of those energy states allowing you to become a whole person.— Bashar, Merkaba Connection To Physical And Higher mind (merkaba-connection-to-physical-and-higher-mind#qa-1) ## Related - [Acceptance](https://sassani.app/topic/acceptance) - [Integration](https://sassani.app/topic/integration) - [Higher Mind](https://sassani.app/topic/higher-mind) - [Merkaba](https://sassani.app/topic/merkaba) - [Change](https://sassani.app/topic/change) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/wholeness.
