As Above, So Below - A Timeless Truth

Fragment of The School of Athens by Raphael

"That which is below is like that which is above,

and that which is above is like that which is below,

to perform the miracles of one only thing."

Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus

translated by Isaac Newton

“Man is an image of the world. 

He was created 

by the same laws which created 

the whole of the world. 

By knowing and understanding 

himself he will know and understand 

the whole world, all the laws that create 

and govern the world.” Gurdjieff

"I remember the day when I saw that

God made me in his own likeness and

what was in me was in God and vice versa.

So If I started to study me... I was studying God."

One Must Feed...

 

 Luis Menedez

“One must feed the soul 

as one feeds the body,

 for the Soul too can starve. 

It needs a more refined food 

and as the buffers come down 

what once may have fed one, 

does not work any longer 

and new ways must be discovered.”

Each One Of Us...

 

Each one of us is so unique 

and has much to contribute to the triad of RE Gene er ration. 

Each drop of nectar that hits the soul 

and dissolves into Spirit, 

is returning to God. 

We in turn become the eyes, 

the ears, the touch, in this world. 

And yes, 

that is an endless and blissful joy indeed!

In Every Case...

Jules David, ‘Don Quixote and Sancho Panza’, 1887. Wikimedia Commons

"In every case, the remedy is to take action.

Get clear about exactly what it is that you need to learn

and exactly what you need to do to learn it.

BEING CLEAR KILLS FEAR.

Make it thy business to know thyself,

which is the most difficult lesson in the world."

Miguel De Cervantes

The Highest Form...

 

The highest form of intelligence is meditation, 

an intense vigilance 

that liberates the mind from its reactions.

~Jeanne De Saltzmann, The Reality of Being

Great Grief...

 

Great grief can evoke great Love 

when it is taken into a triad with the higher. 

Sometimes just walking through the day 

there is a surge of energy, 

a sense of elation 

at the wonder and mystery that is life. 

Sometimes the soul soars 

and the creature feels a bliss of endless joy.

"A well disciplined body, [is] obedient to a wise soul. 

By obedient I mean that, whatever understanding 

dictates, the will accepts."  

Meister Eckhart
