Universal Soul, Personal Soul
The Universe is one body. Love is its heartbeat.

There are many reasons why theories based on fragmentary mechanism cannot work, but the final nail in the coffin of the dominant thinking between the sixteenth and twenty-first centuries has been the discovery and confirmation of entangled quantum states, i.e. nonlocality. If nonlocality is real, and we know it is (despite stubborn refusals by many to acknowledge the data), wholeness must be an ultimate reality, and atomism and mechanism must be obsolete concepts that were at one time useful, but must be discarded.
— James Heffernan
“The problem is not that people have nothing genuine or meaningful to give. The problem involves the pain of opening the arteries of imagination and veins of genuine love that became closed and fettered early on. What tries to live through people is so big that it becomes heart-breaking for them. To become equal to the dream sewn within us, our heart must break open and usually must break more than once. That’s why they say that the only heart worth having is a broken heart. For only in breaking can it open fully and reveal what is hidden within.”
— Michael Meade, “Fate and Destiny”
