Synthesis - it creates life, whereas analysis creates death

04/16/2026

Death is a form of analysis: when a creature dies, all its constituent elements gradually fall apart. Life, on the contrary, is a synthesis: the elements come together to form a whole. The growth of a child in its mother’s womb is the best illustration of the synthesis of many different energies and particles. Synthesis creates life, whereas analysis leads to death. This is why the fondness for analysis, which is presently so widespread, is dangerous. Science is working more and more in the field of analysis: it decomposes, dissects and disintegrates. This tendency to split things up is so strongly emphasized and encouraged in every branch of science that it has even led to changes in moral and spiritual life: individuals want to set themselves apart, to isolate themselves from others, and this attitude gives rise to partisanship, hostility and confrontation. This is why it is now urgent to focus on synthesis.
