"The ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit accepts. ²The appreciation of wholeness comes only through acceptance, for to analyze means to break down or to separate out. ³The attempt to understand totality by breaking it down is clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to everything. ⁴The ego believes that power, understanding and truth lie in separation, and to establish this belief it must attack. ⁵Unaware that the belief cannot be established, and obsessed with the conviction that separation is salvation, the ego attacks everything it perceives by breaking it into small, disconnected parts, without meaningful relationships and therefore without meaning. ⁶The ego will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is salvation, harmony is threat."
