So what is wholeness? A sense of wellness? What brings a sense of wellness? I imagine resiliency is a component to wellness and wholeness. However, I don't see that's the only element.
I prefer to see wholeness as an awareness of self. When we are perceiving the many components of who we are, we see ourselves from the position of the nagual. We know thyself.
Hurt comes from fissures in self awareness. Hurt, in this sense, comes from being exposed to areas of the self we are ignorant. This hurt informs us to gaze deeper into the self to mend, with gold (think Kintsugi), ourself. The error some make when exposed to hurt is to mend another with gold. It's endearing for some, when they hurt, they try to mend (or injure) someone else. When in pain, the majority look outward, instead of inward. They blame others, when they would be better served by resolving the self.
It's funny, people often want to be seen in mostly a positive limelight. Yet, we are made of light, but also cast shadows. On the path to wholeness we should remember that it's perfectly acceptable to be a sh*tbag, on occasion. Knowing thyself is working with one's inadequacies, not denying them.
Denial is no fun for anyone.
