The Broken Whole: From Sparks to Communion

The question of division has followed humanity from the beginning. Some saw it as punishment, others as fracture, others as exile. Still, within different traditions, runs a deeper recognition: the soul belongs to a greater root, a body or tree from which it cannot be separated. Encounters that seem accidental are in fact echoes of ancient unity. The memory of what was broken still circulates, and philosophy, mysticism and myth have given it different names. Plato spoke of a lost whole, Luria of shattered vessels, Paul of the body of Christ. Three languages for one truth.
