让我们继续来默想「平稳和完整地」看待生命的重要性。我认为，不是基督徒的人不能完整地看待生命。为甚么呢？因为他们只在自然的层面来思考，这样怎能有一个全面的态度去看待生命？我们该知道，自然性的思考只是片面而不是完整的。

以医药为例，上一个年代的医生一般都只是诊治病人所提及的病征，但是现在他们自理解精神对身体健康有多大的影响以后，就知道这种做法不够全面。一位医生说：「医学界终于发现病人本身才是重要焦点。」今天的医药正在迅速的朝「全人」方向发展，因为越来越多医生逐渐明白他们不能只诊治表征，必须医治病人本身，可惜直至目前为止他们仍未能全然考虑到人的灵性因素，希望那是指日可待的事。

基督教在心理辅导业方面也面对同一个问题，那就是他们没有看到整幅的图画。我对一部份基督教的心理辅导书籍感到相当失望，因为它们只提出问题的一面，从而建议采用某一种特别技巧，以为这便能把问题解决。可是，神所创造的人本是完整的，所以除非人的每一部分都得到医治，包括灵、魂和身体，否则他永远都不能恢复完整。神要恢复祂在我们里面的形象：不只是一个部分，而是完整的我们。

We continue meditating on the importance of looking at life "steadily and whole". I venture to suggest that people who are not Christians are unable to see life as a whole. How can they, when their thinking takes place only on the level of the natural? Natural thinking is notoriously partial and incomplete.

Take, for example, the field of medicine. A generation ago doctors treated the symptoms that people presented to them, but now, with a clearer understanding of how the mind affects physical health, they have come to see that this approach was partial. One doctor said: "At long last the medical profession has discovered that the patient himself is important." Medicine is fast moving towards what is described as a "holistic" approach as more and more doctors begin to realise that it is not enough to treat the problem, we must also treat the person. They are still far from seeing that there is also a spiritual element in the person that has to be considered, but perhaps in time that will come.

Christian counselling suffers from the same problem - it does not see the whole picture. I am tired of reading books on Christian counselling that give just one side of the issue and suggest that problems can be resolved by applying one special technique. Man was created as a whole person and he will never be helped back to wholeness unless every part of his being is treated - spirit, soul and body. God wants to restore His image in us: not in part of us but in the whole.
