As Above…

We cannot heal the divides among us until we heal the divides within ourselves.  This is the power of reunion.  Our source is singular, the all encompassing All That Is.  Our expression as Divine beings having a human experience is Duality.  We categorize and stratify, breaking our existence and experience down into fractals, pieces and parts to be examined in their singularity.  Yet we are in an eternal quest to reunify those parts into one coherent Whole, a symphony comprised of every note in the perfection of harmony.  And yet we live in discord, denying the validity and very essence of parts or fractals we judge as other, less than, or negative.  Entrenched in positionality, many choose being right over being loving.  So how to heal this divide?  The answer lies within. 

At the temple of Kom Ombo in Egypt, there is an honoring of duality, an honoring of the light and dark.  Horus and Sobek, the all seeing bird of light and the crocodile of darkness, side by side and honored equally.  We cannot have light without shadow, and darkness is all that can overtake light.  To keep these elements in balance within our selves is to acknowledge that both are vital.  Sobek is the great digestor, consuming and desiccating and discarding.  Through the internal desiccation of our experiences, we are nourished and grow, regardless of the nature of the experience.  If we honor the process of digestion and absorption,  taking what nutrients are available to our Soul, we transform fear into courage, and swim freely with the crocodiles.  When we hold both the light and the darkness within ourselves in equal stead, negating nor exalting either but loving each fully, we have an opportunity for a renewed Grace to emerge from within.  Light and dark, masculine and feminine, giving and receiving, body and spirit, earth and sky; all exist to show us the way home to ourselves and to each other, in Sacred Union. As above, so below. As without, so within. Blessed be.
