What I Know and What I Teach about Wholeness

Michael Jordan was a great knower of basketball, but the player-coach role did not fit him well while he played for Washington, because he was not a teacher of basketball anymore than his teammates.  He could lead by example, but not also by word.  Being a knower is different from being a teacher.  John Wooden, in contrast to Jordan, was both a great knower and great teacher of basketball.  He studied and taught the principles of teaching.  He also had played the game well, when he was a player at Purdue, because he also was a knower of basketball.  The reason I bring this up is because I already know that wholeness needs to be addressed.  It is a major issue in living.  It appears to be even maybe in our time, the issue that needs to be addressed.  The thing of wholeness is very prominent in daily existence, but also our speech is gving away the fact that it is also far more prominent in our speaking than most people realize. 

What I am studying and hoping to teach soon is how the Bible addresses the topic of wholeness.  I want to discover the where and when for this topic.  It may be very prominent and may be what holiness in the text refers to.  It also may be lower in prominence than that and be found in the Hebrew and Greek words that are already translated as "whole" and many times as "all".  In either case, to be a teacher, you first submit to being a studier.   There is no shortcut to teaching, especially when the terminal degree of a Ph.D. is becoming much more of a requirement for those who teach. 

So, if you were to enter my office, you would find a large heap of material on wholeness, but also on holiness as a word and also whole as a word.  I also have studied both set apart and pure as words.  I do know wholeness and am seeing already the exciting changes in my life from using it as a principle of nature.  The only question that remains is when I will have the qualifications to teach its location and timing in the Bible (the Book) as well!  Be whole!  Take care. 

Sincerely,

Jon
