Holism.

Holistsic - emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts.

Eg: Holistic medicine - treating the whole person rather than analysis of parts - body, mind, spirit.....

Were we to think of the universe holistically what would that mean?

The universes are parts of a whole.
These parts are interdependent.
Stars and black holes are not the only parts.
There are clouds within which new stars are formed from the dust of older stars.

Everything is alive - there is no dead matter.

God is within everything.

The attractive force which causes the stars to form is Love.

There are no dark forces.

Everything is interdependent, ecological, symbiotic.....

Even isolation is caused by interdependence.
It is the fear and insularity of others that causes an individual to feel isolated.
Prejudice and stereotyping cause isolation.

If God is our Father then everyone is my brother or sister.
The fear leaves.

If one of the organs of the body is not working properly it can affect the whole organism.

This is true of society - each individual has his or her own job to do (according to their gifts).
If they are not doing their job then the whole society suffers.

We are all parts of a whole - parts of society, parts of humanity, parts of the environment, parts of the earth, parts of the universe.....parts of God.

Like the fish in the water.
