It’s All About “Lengthening Our Radius”
Friendship with wisdom, and practical experience with responsibility
“As above, so below. As below, so above”.
To me, the main problem with many religious people is that whenever they think of God — whatever the name they give —, or when they unconsciously act in order to win “his” favor, they have already filtered their thoughts/actions through a belief: God is somewhere above, outside of me.
— Actually, the same thing also confuses the atheists, but let’s leave that for another post — .
The human being is homoousion (from the Greek word ομοούσιος<ομο: the same+ουσία: substance) with “God”; of the same substance with the divine. So, the divine is not somewhere outside.
“Everything is dual, everything has poles and everything has its pair of opposites; Like and unlike are the same; Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; Extremes meet”.
Wisdom couldn’t exist without its opposite. But, its opposite is actually the minimum degree of it, in a sense. So, divine wisdom is the one edge, and the least-widened-human’s …wisdom, is the other edge OF THE SAME THING.
