Every whole that has reached the human stage of self-consciousness theoretically can
have an experience of Wholeness relative to the level at which it primarily functions. Yet
the experience of Wholeness at the biological level has not the same scope and quality as
the experience of Wholeness at the sociocultural or personal level. A human body may
experience Wholeness as health and vitality, in terms of the quality defining yet limiting
everything that is born and has matured in the earth's biosphere. At the level of
personhood. Wholeness is experienced in terms of sociocultural values. The experience of
Wholeness is thus qualified by the dynamic character and intensity of the activity and the
consciousness of the experiencing whole. In this sense it is "colored" by the place the
experiencer occupies in the entire cycle of being.
If the whole reaching its cyclic climax results from the integration of a spiritual entity
and an individual person perfectly attuned to it, the experience of Wholeness includes the
spiritual harvest of a long series of personalities brought to a focus in the concluding
"divine Marriage." The quality of the experience could be called "panpersonal" as well as
spiritual. At the level of the Pleroma, it presumably is "panhuman" and planetary; all
"Rays" (and sub-Rays) and the harvest of all the cultures of human evolution contribute to
it. Thus one can symbolize it as perfect, all-inclusive "whiteness" — hence the symbolic
appellation, "White Lodge." In the ultimate moment of planetary consummation (the
symbolic "Last Day"), the whole earth should experience planetary Wholeness in its
fullness. Beyond planetary Wholeness one can envision an experience of heliocosmic
Wholeness in which the entire solar system (helios=sun, cosmos=all-inclusive system)
would fully experience both its unity and its cosmic meaning.
The human mind with its passion for reducing every possibility of experience to some
quantitative value, when faced with the logical impossibility of placing an end to the series
of ever more encompassing wholes, can only take cover under the negative, pseudo-idea
of infinity — just as the mystic speaks of timelessness when, for a moment having
paralyzed in his consciousness the operation of the principle of Multiplicity, he or she
experiences an ecstasy of oneness. For the "mind of wholeness" all great experiences are
both all-inclusive and qualitative. Wholeness is. At whatever level it is experienced, it is
unquantitized Wholeness — neither small nor vast, because satisfied in being what it is,
filled with the serenity of plenitude of being, illumined with the peace that glows with the
"light" of a harmony in which all motions are balanced. Where such a plenitude and such a
perfection of polarized movements exist, there is neither small nor large, neither time nor
infinity — only Wholeness, undefinable because the defining mind is totally absorbed in
the immeasurable peace of totally "being."
