Reconstruction – beyond holism

Reconstruction — beyond holism

The doctrine of holism shows us that all that is, is part of a greater system and that each system of even a larger system. It seems to dictate that there is a natural order to things and that often our understanding is limited by not understanding the interaction between systems. A key consequence of this holism view of the world — is that we cannot move beyond choice. Choice is the element that deconstructs the basic tenets of holism as our choices are consequently echo's and reverberations that define new ways for systems to interact.

Somehow this explanation is inadequate and we need to move to a new understanding of the world that says that it is not perfect, that holism breaks down and that there is a messiness in everything that we do. We are not defined by colour, race or by any order or system. There is nothing inherently similar between people and each one of us is a unique individual that has the potential and in fact duty to change the systems.

We are constructionists — each with the ability to be a creator. The world is an infinite canvas of abilities that need to be expressed. We are the tools that differentiate how the universe expresses its infinity. There may be systems within systems and worlds within worlds and ideas within ideas but none of these exist until we experience them.
