Imagine “God” as the body of all creation, the God within each of us comprising the perfect whole. Over time some parts over identify with smaller subsystems of the body, mistaking this for the whole. These subgroups over consume, to enrich a smaller self-based system. Brilliant and ambitious they ingeniously move around resistance and corrective obstacles to continuously gain more. It feels successful, rapid growth and enrichment seem a sure sign of ascendancy. This is a successful anomaly, but not in the plan, unwittingly they deplete resources needed by the whole, choking and killing distant overlooked systems. Climate change, toxic waste, species extinction, war, genocide…the success of one group ultimately beacons a death risk for all. How to cease the risk and protect the whole? War? Regulation? Toxic chemo? Perhaps some success can be found with “attack” solutions, but internal war and killing increases chaos and risk, and does not deliver a solution. Again, aggression toward any part of the body weakens the whole. Only by returning to one sacred whole can God’s body of divine grace remain strong and eternal. This means activating God’s immune system: the realization of interconnectedness, and the activation of love and compassion. A solution is not found by force, but instead by leading the deluded parts back into contented rhythm with the “whole”.
