Bare bones basics of what I think I will be saying on this blog

Everything points to the fact that every individual or individual thing is a small part of one single Entirety, and this Entirety includes eternity in both directions.  No one can be totally separated from this Entirety.

Physics says this with the big bang and in various other ways.
Biology says this with evolution and in various other ways.
Chemistry says this by everything being made of the same things following the same rules.

The fact that we are all part of the same larger whole is also the main theme of all religions.  Most religions define this larger whole as less than the entirety at times and as the entirety at times.  My thesis is that The Entirety is God. 

Less well supported but no less true is that we have a place within us that knows that we are all parts of the same Entirety.  This is great, but actually of limited utility by itself.  Only when our deepest self and our thinking minds work as respected and even revered teammates do amazing things become possible. 

Most commonly our deepest self and thinking minds sometimes work together but much more commonly they have a turf war within us with each controlling different aspects of ourself and lives and successfully keeping the other mostly out.  I am adopting Carl Jung’s term of integration for the process of getting our deepest self and thinking minds to work as revered teammates and each have access to all parts of us.

It is only through integration that we become whole (not fragmented) and free (not restricted as to what part can see or influence an area of us and our lives) and capable of communing with The Entirety.  Communing or uniting with The Entirety (God) is what we all most deeply desire and it is wonderful beyond description when it occurs.
