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?
Conversation
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.
“If healing is what you desire, let yourself fall ill.”
