DAO Affirms Wholeness
Unmanifest DAO affirms the truth
that wholeness is of oneness.
Ten thousand things just manifest
the nature of that Oneness.
Made of flesh that has a soul,
man sees himself divided.
“Soul and body are not two things.
They’re one; always have been one”
So claims Carl Jung, psychiatrist.
It’s mortals who divide them.
Mortals, such as you and I;
neglecting our divinity.
Of oneness and of unity,
ego strives to supersede
that of which it’s only part;
without psyche enabling it.
A self divided cannot stand
without psyche to anchor it.
Soul and body are not two things.
Both of them complete the whole.
Like sea and land comprising Earth,
so too is man, of water and of spirit.
Divinity requires both
to restore us back to wholeness.
The DAO testifies to this:
Everything comes out of oneness.
Ten thousand things are merely forms
of what, in form, is formless.
For spirit is the source of all;
and form just magnifies it.
Soul and body are not two things.
They’re one; always have been one.
Unmanifest DAO affirms the truth
that wholeness is of oneness.
Ten thousand things just manifest
the nature of that Oneness.
About this poem
The therapeutic goal of analytical psychology is to restore mankind to a state of oneness, described as the process of Individuation. With that objective in mind, and reporting on Nietzsche’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra,“ in “Zarathustra: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1934-1939, Vol. 1 (30 January 1935), the eminent Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), wrote: “Soul and body are not two things. They are one.” This poem, “DAO Affirms Wholeness,” acknowledges and amplifies that sentiment of analytical psychology, reflected in the New Testament Three -in-One divinity of God, and echoed in the SHEMA of the Hebrew Bible, which declares: “Hear, O Israel. The Lord Our God, the Lord is One.” Wholeness is reflected in oneness. more »
