Wholeness : On Education, Buckminster Fuller, and Tao

Much has already been said about wholeness, holistic education, and their need for humans to accord with the rest of nature, but many people are still unfamiliar with these vital concepts and how they relate to our present and future options. Still others value the idea of wholeness but don't' apply its wisdom in their daily lives. awakening to wholeness implies an ongoing process. One might ask, if someone can conceptualize wholeness, isn't the consciousness already present? The apparent contradiction of endeavoring to become whole, which the sages say we already are, is a familiar theme on the path of personal discovery. Even though wholeness is inherent, this doesn't mean we are aware of it, or rather, that we have remembered it.... Although omnipresent, the whole can seem elusive, vanishing like a bubble when dissected. This book presents one attempt to trace the untraceable. --- excepts from book's Introduction
