While holy, healthy, and whole have the same Germanic root, in Latin these concepts are denoted by words with different roots: sacer, sānus, and totus, from which we get sacred and sanctuary, sane and sanity, and total and totality, respectively.

The root meaning of the verb sacrifice is ‘to make sacred or holy’, necessary to live sanely and healthily in union with the Divine, from which we are never separate.

However, we live in a sick society that teaches us that the Divine and human can never be unified, except in the figure of Jesus of Nazareth. Yet, all humans innately possess the exquisite power of Christ or Buddha Consciousness, even though the prevailing culture is not willing to admit this essential quality of being human.
