As Above, So Below
“What is above is like what is below. What is below is like what is above. The miracle of unity is to be attained.” Idres Shah translation of the Emerald Tablet.
Life tends to keep itself balanced by matching intensities between two influential forces of chaos energy and order energy. These two forces push each other, gaining advantage over the other until the other builds enough energy to push back, gaining advantage in a continuous game of tug-o-war. When order energy is dominating life, it brings peace, confidence, and security. In contrast, chaos energy in domination brings fear, uncertainty, and scarcity. These energies settle within the self and are projected outward contributing to the energy in societies. The dominate energy felt in the leadership trickles down to its citizens who amplify the feelings. However, life cannot sustain itself dominating in just one of these energies. Too much order creates complacency and rigidity, allowing chaos to build up into an eruption demanding change. Too much chaos influences action to create order, improving on flawed structures and creating solutions to cure dis-ease. The dynamic between these two forces breaks down old patterns to make way for new ones. By understanding the effects of these energies, you can learn to work with them towards harnessing the energy of unity.
So, what energies are you creating in the face of the energies that are flowing around you?
