Spiritual and Material Success are a Uni-Verse

The merits of equilibrium and living a balanced life are extensively documented in every wisdom tradition. The two primary realms of your life are material and spiritual. Neither can be ignored. If you sacrifice one of these realms in order to nurture the other realm, you will lose your equilibrium and be unbalanced. These realms are interdependent like the two sides of a single coin or the partners that form a couple, and they are both indispensable to a happy, successful life.

The process of achieving and maintaining your equilibrium and balance is to understand your core relationship; this relationship is the con-versation-communication between your conscious and subconscious mind.

Your core relationship is the Heart of your Mind Power. And your Power to Create is the result of the communication-integration of your conscious and subconscious mind. It is One Integrated Process as Living Relationship; it is a living con-verse-action of constant change.

The Living UniVerse

The word Uni-Verse: uni means one; and verse comes from Old French as vers meaning both, and, from the Latin versus meaning opposing; this leads to related words like con-verse, re-verse, and words like university meaning all together in one body.

Thus UniVerse literally means One-Both or two-in-one as in mutually dependent opposites such that the word UniVerse is the ultimate word that is used to denote how two are together in one body. And the self-evident fact that you and everyone else lives in two worlds at once (your inner and outer worlds) is captured in the dichotomy of the word Being that is both a noun and a verb. This means that you are a localized uni-verse.

Your inner dialogue and the inter-action between you and everyone else is commonly called con-versation or communication; it is a process of transmitting and receiving. In the light of your two worlds attempting to con-verse with each other and with the two worlds of everyone else, it is obvious that effective communication has to be prefaced by both individual integrity and compatibility between the extremes involved in the communication process. In other words effective communication can only take place between compatible wholes or uni-verses.

You (and everyone else) already are and have active participation in just such a structurally integrated system because you are a localized uni-verse. The power to communicate whatever you wish is in clearly seeing your inherent structure and understanding how it functions. You may also choose to remain unaware of your fundamental structure; then you will simply continue to communicate blindly.

In healthy human beings the localized uni-verse of this integrated system is clearly evident in all the pairs of interdependent opposites: like the extremes of your breathing as respiration and circulation and their derivative extremes of inhalation and exhalation, and, flow through your arteries and flow through your veins; the two hemispheres of your brain; the two parts of each of your body's systems; the two poles of each cell in your body; your mind-body connection; the fact that you simultaneously live in an inner and outer world; the core relationship of your conscious and subconscious minds, and the axiomatic fact that you are the child of the Living UniVerse - stated another way; you are the world and the world is you.

The very act of your living awareness of yourself in this manner is the means to align your energy and be in wave coherence with the structural integrity of the Living UniVerse because it has this same living structure. And living this realization means that you can now consciously choose the content of your communication with the Living UniVerse. This is why all sages say, "Know Thyself."
