Dividing the whole into opposing parts destroys its internal integrity because, in fragmenting it, the overall interconnection is lost—the quality that makes the whole not merely the sum of its separate fragments, but rather their mutual transformation.

Fragmented Wholeness: The Clash Between Division and Divine Unity

Dividing the whole into opposing parts destroys its internal integrity because, in fragmenting it, the overall interconnection is lost—the quality that makes the whole not merely the sum of its separate fragments, but rather their mutual transformation. In essence, when the whole disintegrates into parts, each part becomes independent and detached from the idea of a unified, indivisible oneness. As stated in one of the sources:

"But then it is spread out over all its parts and, consequently, is present everywhere. Thus, the whole, composed of parts, is present everywhere. The whole both is composed of its parts and is not composed of its parts, that is, it is simultaneously everywhere and nowhere. But 'being composed' and 'not being composed,' just as 'everywhere' and 'nowhere,' are connected antithetically—that is, as being and non-being. Therefore, they are connected to one another like the process of becoming one from the other."

Thus, the conflict among the parts implies that they are no longer integrated into a unified whole: each part strives to assert its own autonomy, leading to a disruption of balance, as the possibility of complete mutual inclusion vanishes.

As for the concept of God in this process, it occupies a special place as a symbol of the highest unity and light—standing in opposition to fragmentation. In one of the texts it is stated:

"Thus, here is the solution to the law of the golden division. God is reality and Light; He is great; but I, too, am reality, and not darkness—for I had not yet felt the sting of sin nor known death, and consequently, had not perceived myself as a creature. 'I do not deny God; but I, as a human, am also divine, and I wish to stand on my own'—this was the meaning of my experiences."

Here, the idea of God as an indivisible source of reality and light is contrasted with the fragmented state typical of dividing the whole. The concept of God becomes a benchmark—an ideal of the integral completeness and harmony that is missing when the whole is divided into battling parts. This striving for the restoration of unity is also reflected in man’s desire to recognize something divine within himself—that very wholeness which overcomes fragmentation and contradiction.

Thus, in the process of splitting the whole into opposing parts, balance is disturbed as the principle of mutual becoming and inclusion, which allows the parts to be true constituents of a unified whole, is lost. The ideal of God, designated as the source of light and indivisibility, emphasizes this disruption, pointing to the necessity of internal integrity that is compromised through fragmentation.
