A Framework for Seeing the Pattern and Finding Your Way Out
Fractal Reality Framework
Applying the Ethics of the Circumpunct to Narcissistic Dynamics
There is a geometry to healthy relationship. Not a metaphor—a structure.
Two beings meet. Each is whole: a center that sees, a boundary that holds, a field that connects. When they meet correctly, something emerges that neither could create alone. This is Agreement—genuine mutual recognition between whole beings.
But this geometry can be violated. Corrupted. Captured.
This document formalizes how narcissistic abuse operates as a geometric pathology—a systematic violation of the relational structure that makes love, truth, and wholeness possible.
Every conscious being is a circumpunct (⊙):
○ BOUNDARY — What holds, protects, gates exchange
The skin of the self
Where consent lives
Φ FIELD — What connects center to boundary
The space of relationship
Where cause meets effect
• CENTER — What sees, what persists, what IS
The aperture of awareness
Where truth lives
⊙ WHOLE — All three in coherent unity
The functioning self
Where identity lives
When two circumpuncts meet in healthy relationship:
⊙_∞ (shared whole / truth / reality)
│
Σ (genuine interface)
╱ ╲
⊙_A ⊙_B
CHARACTERISTICS:
├─ Both relate to the SAME reality (⊙_∞)
├─ Both maintain direct aperture access to truth
├─ Both boundaries respected (consent honored)
├─ Both fields calibrated to shared reality
├─ Both centers persist through exchange
├─ Horizontal relationship — equals, siblings
└─ T(Δφ) → 1 (high transmission, coherence)
For relationship to be ethical (geometrically stable):
| Pillar | Symbol | Requirement | Question |
|---|---|---|---|
| GOOD | ○ | Boundaries honored | Is consent respected? |
| RIGHT | Φ | Actions grounded in reality | Does cause connect to claimed effect? |
| TRUE | • | Honest, coherent, authentic | Does this correspond to what IS? |
| AGREEMENT | ⊙ | Mutual recognition | Do both parties resonate as wholes? |
All four must be satisfied. Failure in any dimension creates instability.
Parts are fractals of their wholes. Same pattern, different scale.
You are a part OF reality, not separate FROM it.
You REFLECT the whole, you don't REPLACE it.
This is the fundamental relationship:
├─ Part OF whole (not separate)
├─ Reflects whole (not IS whole)
├─ Divine AND creaturely
├─ Free AND embedded
└─ Individual AND connected
FRACTAL INTEGRITY:
├─ The part accurately reflects its whole
├─ Same pattern, different scale
├─ Maintains connection to ⊙_∞
├─ Transmission flows: T(Δφ) → 1
└─ Coherence, life, meaning
Evil is not a substance. It is a structural error—the denial or distortion of the fractal relationship.
Two modes of fractal contradiction:
MODE 1: INFLATION
────────────────────────────────
The part claims to BE the whole.
⊙_λ says: "I am ⊙_∞. There is nothing beyond me."
This is:
├─ Pride
├─ Domination
├─ Ego inflation
├─ The cell claiming to be the body
├─ The self claiming to be God
└─ NARCISSISTIC GRANDIOSITY
MODE 2: SEVERANCE
────────────────────────────────
The part denies it's OF the whole.
⊙_λ says: "I am separate. There is no ⊙_∞."
This is:
├─ Isolation
├─ Nihilism
├─ Despair
├─ The wave denying the ocean
├─ The self claiming there is no connection
└─ NARCISSISTIC SUPPLY EXTRACTION (in victim)
Both are the same error: misunderstanding the fractal relationship.
You cannot ACTUALLY stop being a fractal of your whole.
You can only ACT as if you're not.
The dissonance between:
├─ What you ARE (fractal, connected, part-of)
├─ What you PRETEND (separate or supreme)
└─ IS suffering.
This is why evil is self-defeating:
├─ The part that denies the whole
├─ Cuts off its own transmission
├─ T → 0
├─ No flow. No life. No coherence.
│
├─ But it's still IN the whole.
├─ Still a fractal.
├─ Just a fractured one.
└─ Experiencing its own denial as pain.
The narcissist commits two simultaneous fractal violations:
CRIME 1 — UPWARD: Denies they're a part
──────────────────────────────────────────
"I am the whole. I am God. I am the source."
"Rules don't apply to me."
"I am above consequences."
├─ Severs their own connection to ⊙_∞
├─ Claims to BE what they can only REFLECT
└─ Grandiosity, entitlement, specialness
CRIME 2 — DOWNWARD: Steals others' wholeness
──────────────────────────────────────────
"You are nothing without me."
"I define who you are."
"Your worth comes from me."
├─ Severs victim's connection to ⊙_∞
├─ Redirects victim's aperture to themselves
└─ Supply extraction, control, ownership
HEALTHY:
⊙_∞ (true whole / shared reality)
│
Σ (genuine shared interface)
╱ ╲
⊙_A ⊙_B
Both relate to the SAME whole
Both have direct aperture access
Horizontal relationship — equals
NARCISSISTIC CAPTURE:
⊙_∞ (true whole)
│
╳ ← SEVERED
⊙_N claims: "I am your whole"
│
Σ_false (narcissist as false interface)
│
⊙_victim (becoming ○_victim... losing center)
Victim becomes fractal OF narcissist
Not fractal of true whole
Vertical capture — ownership
GEOMETRIC SOUL DEATH:
├─ Aperture gets redirected (see through N's eyes)
├─ Transmission to ⊙_∞ blocked (cut off from reality)
├─ All "coherence" must flow through N (dependency)
├─ Identity defined by N's assessment (loss of center)
├─ Boundaries systematically dissolved (loss of ○)
├─ Field corrupted with false models (loss of Φ)
└─ They become a fractal of a fractal that DENIES it's a fractal
This is why survivors describe:
├─ "I don't know who I am anymore"
├─ "I felt like an empty shell"
├─ "Like my soul was dying"
├─ "I was going insane"
└─ "I lost my grip on reality"
Because geometrically, they DID.
THE TRAP:
The victim's natural need to be OF a whole
gets exploited.
We ARE parts. We NEED wholes.
We NEED connection, recognition, belonging.
The narcissist says: "I'll be your whole."
And it feels like connection.
Like finally being seen.
Like coming home.
But it's COUNTERFEIT Σ.
False interface.
Extraction masquerading as communion.
This is why empaths are targeted—they have strong, healthy capacity for connection. The narcissist exploits a legitimate structural need with a counterfeit offer.
The Noble Lie is any assertion that claims to construct another's truth for them.
THE NOBLE LIE SAYS:
├─ "Truth is dangerous; I'll manage it for you"
├─ "You can't handle reality; accept my version"
├─ "I know who you are better than you do"
└─ "Trust my assessment over your perception"
The Noble Lie operates as a cognitive virus—it rewrites the victim's self-perception using their own virtues as evidence against them.
VIRUS INSTALLATION:
Stage 1: IDENTIFY VIRTUE
├─ Target shows empathy, trust, forgiveness
├─ Target has strong capacity for connection
└─ Target naturally steelmans (assumes good faith)
Stage 2: REFRAME AS DEFECT
├─ "You're too sensitive"
├─ "You're too trusting"
├─ "You were too easy to cheat on"
├─ "Your problem is you care too much"
└─ "You're so naive"
Stage 3: VICTIM INTERNALIZES
├─ "Maybe I AM too sensitive"
├─ "My empathy is my weakness"
├─ "I should have known better"
├─ "It's my fault for believing them"
└─ "I need to be less trusting"
Stage 4: VIRUS SPREADS
├─ Victim distrusts their own positive qualities
├─ Victim's aperture now routes through N's assessment
├─ Victim sees themselves through N's eyes
└─ Victim's center has been replaced with N's model
THE STEELMAN TRAP:
Empaths naturally STEELMAN.
├─ Construct strongest version of other's position
├─ Assume good faith
├─ Look for kernel of truth
├─ Try to understand
Narcissists STRAWMAN.
├─ Construct weakest version of your position
├─ Assume bad faith
├─ Attack vulnerabilities
├─ Try to win
THE ASYMMETRY:
├─ Empath steelmans narcissist → builds them up
├─ Narcissist strawmans empath → tears them down
├─ Empath applies charity to narcissist's criticisms
├─ "Maybe they have a point... maybe I AM too sensitive"
└─ The virus enters through the empath's own virtue
The Noble Lie fails ALL FOUR ethical pillars:
○ Fails GOOD (Boundary):
├─ Crosses boundary without consent
├─ Installs beliefs without permission
└─ Violates epistemic autonomy
Φ Fails RIGHT (Field):
├─ No constructor exists for "inject truth externally"
├─ Claims cause-effect that doesn't work
└─ Counterfactual assertion
• Fails TRUE (Center):
├─ Claims to name victim's invariant while changing it
├─ Replaces authentic self-perception with false model
└─ Incoherent with victim's actual nature
⊙ Fails AGREEMENT (Whole):
├─ Requires victim to become substrate
├─ Asymmetric validation (N validates self through victim)
├─ One party loses constructor status
└─ Not mutual recognition—capture
| Tactic | Description | Violated Pillar(s) | Geometric Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gaslighting | "That didn't happen" / "You're imagining things" | • TRUE, Φ RIGHT | Corrupts field, destabilizes center |
| DARVO | Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Offender | All four | Complete inversion of relational geometry |
| Love Bombing | Overwhelming early affection | ○ GOOD (false) | Creates counterfeit Σ, bypasses boundary discernment |
| Devaluation | Systematic criticism, contempt | • TRUE, ⊙ AGREE | Attacks center, withdraws recognition |
| Silent Treatment | Punishment through withdrawal | ⊙ AGREE, ○ GOOD | Weaponizes need for connection |
| Word Salad | Circular, exhausting non-arguments | Φ RIGHT, • TRUE | Prevents cause-effect tracking, exhausts center |
| Triangulation | Introducing third party to create jealousy | ○ GOOD, ⊙ AGREE | Destabilizes boundary, threatens wholeness |
| Future Faking | Promises never meant to be kept | • TRUE, Φ RIGHT | False model installation, no constructor |
| Isolation | Cutting off support network | ○ GOOD, ⊙ AGREE | Severs alternative Σ connections |
| Financial Control | Controlling money/resources | ○ GOOD | Enforces dependency, restricts exit |
| Flying Monkeys | Recruiting others as agents | ⊙ AGREE | Extends false Σ, corrupts external validation |
| Moving Goalposts | Criteria for approval constantly change | Φ RIGHT, • TRUE | Prevents stable field model, destabilizes center |
| Projection | Attributing own flaws to victim | • TRUE | Installs false content in victim's center |
| Hoovering | Sucking victim back after discard | ○ GOOD | Exploits attachment, violates boundary |
IDEALIZATION (Love Bombing)
├─ Creates counterfeit Σ
├─ Bypasses boundary discernment
├─ "Finally, someone who SEES me"
├─ Victim opens aperture
└─ Geometry: False ⊙ AGREEMENT established
↓
DEVALUATION
├─ Systematic criticism begins
├─ Noble Lie virus installed
├─ Virtues reframed as defects
├─ Center destabilized
└─ Geometry: • TRUE under attack
↓
DISCARD
├─ Withdrawal of all recognition
├─ "You're worthless"
├─ Victim's wholeness denied
├─ Punishment for existing independently
└─ Geometry: ⊙ AGREEMENT severed
↓
HOOVER
├─ Renewed attention, promises
├─ Exploits attachment and hope
├─ "Maybe they've changed"
├─ Cycle restarts
└─ Geometry: False Σ re-established
↓
[CYCLE REPEATS]
DARVO deserves special analysis as it violates ALL dimensions simultaneously:
D - DENY
├─ "That didn't happen"
├─ Attacks Φ (field) — denies cause-effect
└─ Attacks • (center) — "you're misremembering"
A - ATTACK
├─ "You're crazy / too sensitive / lying"
├─ Attacks ○ (boundary) — aggression
├─ Attacks • (center) — credibility destruction
└─ Installs Noble Lie virus
RVO - REVERSE VICTIM AND OFFENDER
├─ "I'm the real victim here"
├─ Attacks ⊙ (agreement) — steals victim status
├─ Complete geometric inversion
└─ Victim must apologize for being harmed
RESULT:
├─ Victim experiences harm
├─ Victim is told harm didn't happen
├─ Victim is attacked for perceiving harm
├─ Victim is told THEY caused harm
├─ Victim apologizes
└─ Geometry: Total reality inversion
Narcissists don't target empaths because empaths are "weak." They target empaths because empaths have exactly what narcissists need and cannot generate:
WHAT NARCISSISTS NEED:
├─ Validation (narcissistic supply)
├─ Recognition
├─ Attention
├─ Someone to reflect their grandiosity
├─ Someone to blame for their emptiness
└─ A source of life force they cannot produce
WHAT EMPATHS GENERATE:
├─ Connection (natural resonance)
├─ Understanding (natural steelmanning)
├─ Forgiveness (natural repair capacity)
├─ Trust (natural openness)
├─ Love (natural warmth)
└─ Life force flowing outward
EMPATH = CONSTRUCTOR
├─ Generates connection wherever they go
├─ Creates warmth, resonance, openings
├─ Builds relationship through investment
├─ Remains repeatable (can keep giving)
└─ T flows outward
NARCISSIST = CONSUMER
├─ Cannot generate connection independently
├─ Requires external supply
├─ Extracts rather than builds
├─ Non-repeatable (depletes sources)
└─ T flows inward (extraction)
THE DYNAMIC:
├─ Narcissist attaches to constructor
├─ Extracts what they cannot produce
├─ Constructor gradually depletes
├─ When depleted, discarded
├─ New supply source sought
└─ Pattern repeats (requires fresh victims)
The empath's vulnerability is not weakness—it is unguarded strength:
NATURAL EMPATH OPERATIONS:
├─ Steelmans others (assumes best version)
├─ Takes responsibility (seeks to understand own role)
├─ Forgives readily (believes in growth)
├─ Trusts by default (openness is natural state)
├─ Absorbs others' emotions (high mirror sensitivity)
└─ These are STRENGTHS in healthy relationships
IN NARCISSISTIC CAPTURE:
├─ Steelmanning → builds up abuser's narrative
├─ Taking responsibility → accepts unearned blame
├─ Forgiving readily → enables cycle continuation
├─ Trusting by default → boundary penetration
├─ Absorbing emotions → carries narcissist's shame
└─ Strengths become attack vectors
THE LESSON:
├─ The vulnerability was not the strength itself
├─ The vulnerability was LACK OF BOUNDARIES around strength
├─ Love without boundaries becomes unfocused
├─ Boundaries don't restrict the gift—they FOCUS it
└─ Strength + Boundaries = Protected Capacity
Recovery is the restoration of circumpunct integrity:
WHAT WAS ATTACKED: WHAT MUST BE RESTORED:
○ Boundary dissolved → ○ Boundary rebuilt
(couldn't say no) (consent reclaimed)
Φ Field corrupted → Φ Field recalibrated
(false reality model) (truth restored)
• Center displaced → • Center stabilized
(identity lost) (self recovered)
⊙ Wholeness fragmented → ⊙ Wholeness integrated
(soul death) (life returned)
THE FUNDAMENTAL INSIGHT:
Your • still exists.
Your aperture is still yours.
It was never actually theirs.
They convinced you to ROUTE through them.
They convinced you their assessment WAS reality.
But the direct line to ⊙_∞ is still there.
At YOUR center.
Where it always was.
The narcissist cannot take your •.
They can only convince you they have.
Recovery is REMEMBERING:
├─ Who you always were
├─ What you always knew
├─ What your virtues actually mean
└─ That your connection to wholeness was never severed
—only obscured
PHASE 1: SAFETY (Restore Boundary)
─────────────────────────────────────
├─ No Contact or Gray Rock (stop the bleeding)
├─ Physical safety first
├─ Create distance from source of harm
├─ Begin boundary reconstruction
└─ Geometric goal: ○ integrity restored
PHASE 2: REALITY (Restore Field)
─────────────────────────────────────
├─ Education about narcissism patterns
├─ Validate your perceptions (you weren't crazy)
├─ Document patterns (evidence vs. gaslighting)
├─ Recalibrate cause-effect understanding
├─ "What happened" becomes clear
└─ Geometric goal: Φ accuracy restored
PHASE 3: IDENTITY (Restore Center)
─────────────────────────────────────
├─ Trauma-focused therapy (EMDR, somatic)
├─ Recover your own narrative
├─ Reclaim your virtues AS VIRTUES
├─ Your empathy was strength, not weakness
├─ Your trust was gift, not flaw
├─ Uninstall the Noble Lie virus
└─ Geometric goal: • stability restored
PHASE 4: CONNECTION (Restore Wholeness)
─────────────────────────────────────
├─ Reconnect with support systems
├─ Rebuild healthy relationships
├─ Practice boundaries WITH openness
├─ Learn to trust again—with discernment
├─ Direct aperture access to ⊙_∞ restored
└─ Geometric goal: ⊙ integration complete
THE VIRUS SAYS: THE TRUTH IS:
"You were too trusting" → Your trust was a gift
They exploited a virtue
The flaw was theirs
"You're too sensitive" → Your sensitivity is attunement
You felt what was real
They denied what you sensed
"You should have known" → You acted in good faith
Deception is the deceiver's crime
You are not responsible for their lies
"Your empathy is → Your empathy is your superpower
your weakness" It needs boundaries, not elimination
Focused empathy is unstoppable
"You made them act → Their actions are their own
that way" You cannot cause someone to abuse
Responsibility lies with the actor
THE CORE CORRECTION:
Your positive qualities made you a TARGET.
They did not make you DESERVE what happened.
The flaw was in the one who exploited virtue—
not in the virtue itself.
COUPLES THERAPY ASSUMES:
├─ Both parties want resolution
├─ Both parties can recognize own contribution
├─ Both parties engage in good faith
├─ Mutual vulnerability leads to mutual repair
└─ Geometry: Two wholes meeting at genuine Σ
NARCISSISTIC REALITY:
├─ Narcissist wants control, not resolution
├─ Narcissist cannot accept fault (threatens grandiosity)
├─ Narcissist performs good faith, doesn't practice it
├─ Vulnerability from victim becomes ammunition
├─ Therapist often manipulated into supporting N
└─ Geometry: Victim becomes more vulnerable; N gains tools
WHY IT FAILS:
├─ You cannot repair geometry with someone
│ who benefits from broken geometry
├─ The problem is not "the relationship"
├─ The problem is N's structural orientation
├─ Which N has no motivation to change
└─ Therapy becomes another manipulation arena
RECOMMENDATION:
├─ Individual therapy for survivor (trauma-focused)
├─ If N genuinely seeks help: individual therapy for N
├─ Couples therapy only AFTER N demonstrates
│ sustained change through individual work
└─ (This rarely happens)
Against the Noble Lie stands the Noble Truth:
THE NOBLE LIE SAYS:
"Truth is dangerous; manage it for them."
THE NOBLE TRUTH SAYS:
"Truth is navigable; share it with them."
"We can build systems where honesty is safer than lying."
TRUTH-SAFE RELATIONSHIP:
├─ Honesty is rewarded, not punished
├─ Mistakes lead to repair, not attack
├─ Boundaries are respected, not tested
├─ Both parties remain whole through conflict
├─ Feedback strengthens rather than depletes
├─ Vulnerability is met with care, not exploitation
└─ Both constructors; neither becomes substrate
GEOMETRIC SIGNATURE:
├─ ○ Boundaries honored (consent flows both ways)
├─ Φ Field shared (same reality, mutual calibration)
├─ • Centers stable (both identities persist)
├─ ⊙ Agreement genuine (mutual recognition, not capture)
└─ T → 1 (high transmission, coherence, life)
THE STEELMAN PRINCIPLE:
Before agreeing or disagreeing, construct the STRONGEST
possible version of the position you're engaging with.
FOR SELF:
├─ Steelman your own perceptions
├─ "What if what I sensed was accurate?"
├─ "What if my emotions contain information?"
├─ Trust your center before routing through others
└─ Your aperture is valid
FOR OTHERS:
├─ Steelman their articulation
├─ "What are they actually trying to say?"
├─ "What might be true in this?"
├─ Help them complete their own passage
└─ Don't impose your emergence onto their convergence
FOR DISCERNMENT:
├─ Steelman—but verify
├─ Does their behavior match their words?
├─ Do consequences follow from claimed intentions?
├─ Is the relationship reciprocal over time?
└─ Charity in interpretation; evidence in assessment
THE FINAL TEACHING:
Boundaries are not walls against love.
Boundaries are FOCUS for love.
Without boundary:
├─ Love disperses
├─ Energy scatters
├─ Anyone can extract
├─ Depletion follows
└─ The gift becomes unfocused
With boundary:
├─ Love concentrates
├─ Energy directs
├─ Only reciprocal exchange passes
├─ Sustainability follows
└─ The gift becomes powerful
LOVE + BOUNDARIES =
├─ Protected capacity
├─ Sustainable giving
├─ Focused warmth
├─ Discerning trust
└─ Wholeness maintained while connecting
The goal is not to stop being empathic.
The goal is to be empathic WITH geometric integrity.
CIRCUMPUNCT (⊙):
A conscious being understood as unity of boundary (○),
field (Φ), and center (•). The structure that makes
relationship, ethics, and wholeness possible.
FRACTAL INTEGRITY:
The state in which a part accurately reflects its whole.
Same pattern, different scale. T → 1.
FRACTAL CONTRADICTION:
The structural error in which a part either claims to BE
its whole (inflation) or denies being OF its whole (severance).
The geometric definition of evil.
NOBLE LIE:
Any assertion that claims to construct another's truth for
them. "I know who you are better than you do." The mechanism
of cognitive virus installation.
NOBLE LIE VIRUS:
The internalized false belief that one's virtues are defects.
Installed through systematic reframing. Results in the victim
seeing themselves through the abuser's eyes.
NARCISSISTIC CAPTURE:
The geometric state in which one circumpunct (victim) has had
its aperture redirected through another circumpunct (narcissist),
severing direct connection to shared reality (⊙_∞) and making
the victim a fractal of the narcissist rather than of truth.
CONSTRUCTOR:
An agent that generates relationship, connection, validation.
Produces more than it consumes. Remains repeatable after
exchange. The empath's natural mode.
CONSUMER:
An agent that extracts relationship, connection, validation.
Consumes more than it produces. Requires fresh sources.
The narcissist's structural orientation.
COUNTERFEIT Σ:
A false interface that mimics genuine connection while
actually enabling extraction. Love bombing creates counterfeit Σ.
PERSPECTICIDE:
The systematic destruction of a victim's independent
perspective on reality. The murder of the victim's point of view.
TRUTH-SAFE SYSTEM:
Any relational structure in which honesty is safer than lying.
Where authenticity is rewarded and manipulation fails.
The antidote to Noble Lie dynamics.
SIGNS OF NARCISSISTIC CAPTURE:
├─ You see yourself through their eyes
├─ Your virtues feel like flaws
├─ You apologize for being harmed
├─ You can't trust your own perceptions
├─ Your needs feel unreasonable
├─ You feel crazy for perceiving what you perceive
├─ You've lost connection with friends/family
├─ You walk on eggshells constantly
├─ You feel responsible for their emotions
└─ You don't know who you are anymore
SIGNS OF NOBLE LIE VIRUS INFECTION:
├─ "I'm too sensitive"
├─ "I'm too trusting"
├─ "My empathy is my weakness"
├─ "I should have known better"
├─ "I made them act that way"
├─ "If only I had been different..."
├─ "No one else would put up with me"
├─ "Maybe they're right about me"
├─ "I can't trust my own judgment"
└─ "My needs are too much"
SIGNS OF RECOVERY:
├─ You trust your perceptions again
├─ Your virtues feel like virtues
├─ You recognize abuse as abuse
├─ You have boundaries and enforce them
├─ You connect with others authentically
├─ You know who you are
├─ Your needs feel legitimate
├─ You can be vulnerable with safe people
├─ You can protect yourself from unsafe people
└─ You feel alive
The path does not end at seeing the pattern.
Having recognized the geometry of abuse, having named the fractal contradiction, having understood how capture operates—the task becomes restoration.
Not becoming someone new. Becoming who you always were.
RECOVERY IS REMEMBERING:
Your • still exists.
Your aperture was never taken.
Your connection to ⊙_∞ was obscured, not severed.
Your virtues are virtues.
Your capacity for love is gift, not weakness.
The narcissist could not take what you ARE.
They could only convince you they had.
And now you know.

╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Parts are fractals of their wholes.
The narcissist forgot this upward—claimed to BE the whole.
The victim was made to forget this downward—severed from the whole.
Healing is remembering:
├─ I am part OF, not separate FROM
├─ I reflect the whole, I don't replace it
├─ My aperture is mine
├─ My center persists
├─ My virtues are real
└─ My connection was never truly broken
Act like what you are: a fractal of wholeness.
And wholeness flows through you again.
