As Above: So Below
I sat in amazement yesterday. An amazement that is available to all, yet many people don’t care to look (perhaps many don’t realize the benefits). I sat in amazement that I was sitting on a huge planet spinning through space at speeds I’m too skeptical to comprehend. Yet, all was peaceful. I sat in amazement at the sky with such a brilliant blue hue that many of us are too busy to notice. It is all (the palm trees, the flowers, the bees and the cute little clouds that float by effortlessly) so amazing that such collective organization exists at all (especially on both micro and macro scales). Pure brilliance!
Have you looked lately?
Let’s take a deeper look for the sake of benefit and significance.
Many people live like a grasshopper jumping from one thing to the next (mentally and therefore physically). The problem occurs when distracted choices begin tipping the scales of our health towards a restrictive tunnel vision, the effects become exponential, universal and are always two fold. These occur at the level of micro and macro.
Shall we take this to a deeper level? Wherever relativity exists, the phenomenon of various forms of polarity also naturally exists. However, when relativity is nonexistent, polarities drop off and we are left with a possibility. A possibility of like attracts like. The equation now becomes, positive begets (attracts) positive.
I would say that relativity ceases to exist at an energetic level, which is easily translatable as the spiritual aspect of life (I'm not speaking about new-age mumbo jumbo either). For the human being this is our center. Here is the catch. It is at our center that we affect both the macro and the micro. As below so it is above. But, to have a below and an above you must first have a center.
Micro (below): the thought leads to the cellular and energetic reaction (positive begets positive). Where does the thought come from? Thoughts come from who we are, our essence, which is our center.
Macro (above): leading a balanced life lends to our health, as we make choices from a place of health these choices will naturally lend to benefit the greater good.
The manifestations of both the micro and the macro can be guided by simply being in touch (awake, aware, and cognizant) with our center, our essence. This comes from a state of balance. Balance is a choice that every human has freedom to uphold (regardless of status, race, sex, health, culture, etc.)
The simplicity of balance is all that is asked to create a better world. It is very simple. It is actually what would bring us the most joy and abundance in the immediate experiences in our lives as it simultaneously sets up joyful and abundant experiences for all of our “tomorrows” and the tomorrows of all unfolding generations. In a world, a universe really, of relativity balance is what gives us unyielding access to our potentials on personal, communal and global scales. A simple matter of principle and equation.
