Morning All,

 

Just sharing and trying to catch up on posts

and digests, from someone on another

list, thought you might enjoy ...

 

Verily the inside = the outside and the outside = the inside.

Hermes has said this when he said that " what is above is as

what is below ", and vise versa.

 

This correspondence of the inner and the outer is best summed

up by the following analogy. As the warmth and brightness of the

sun's appearance coming out from behind dark clouds is a beautiful

and a very comforting event to behold, so too it is with the Inner

Light concealed within each and every one of us as it emerges from

the depths of our beings when it is given the opportunity to express

itself and shine forth. This realized inner light is in turn projected out

into the outer world, and so the light is made manifest as it lights the

shadows and that which was previously perceived as the darkness

in the world. By this light we see more of the beautiful and nobler

things and values in the world, which in turn attune us with even

more of the finer inner qualities of soul. As this inner light is thus

intensified, it wants to ever more express itself in the outer world

and thus we have a sort of positive vicious circle making the light

grow in the whole "world". For the inner is only half the world

and the outer is the other half of the whole world. The two together

is the marriage of heaven and earth. This is what true alchemy is.

 

"My advice to you, whoever you may be, Oh you who desire

to explore the Mysteries of Nature; if you do not discover within

yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it without.

If you ignore the excellence of your own house, how can you

aspire to find excellence elsewhere? Within you is hidden the

treasure of treasures. Oh Man! Know thyself, and you will

know the universe and the Gods." - The Oracle of Delphi.

 

Regards
