Etymologically, “healing” originally means “to become whole.”
If you are not whole, you are fragmented, disintegrated—not “in one piece.”
How will you become all in one piece again if not al-one?

You are not broken or fragmented, save in your precious imagination and distorted perception.
Only by being completely alone, individually, can you recognize that you are always one, indivisible, inseparable from everything else—never actually alone.

Telling yourself you need to “heal,” or setting any arbitrary conditions for your state of being distinct from what it *is*, is what keeps you feeling fragmented and separated from others.

There's a certain work you can only do in relationship to grasping that frankly will be much easier to do alone.

Pedagogically, most won't even know where to begin or how or why to start and communities of practice help bridge that by demonstrating externally what is to be integrated.
