The Psychosomatic Relationship of Man with the Universe (The Microcosm and the Macrocosm)

but a gift and a loan to him, by a gracious, loving Energy Source of all things and essences?

This communication, contemplation, meditation or concentration by the individual energy field within man upon and with its universal Source, is man's real function, path of travel and wellbeing. This can be a communication of soul with its Source, as love with the Ocean of Love and Bliss; or of intelligence with the Universal Intelligence and Pattern World of things, creativeness and inventions.

Mind also communicates with the Universal Mind in its constant activity, motion, illusions and theories, thoughts and wishing. This gives us the psychology of man in its true scope and path of travel. Like anyone of the four elements, when one stops flowing, having lost its rhythm with the Whole and its Source of supply, it has a tendency to lock itself in, turn upon itself and disintegrate. Then there is pain, sorrow, etc. If this balance can be restored, there is well being and free flow of energy. The Universal Energy, like air, is all around us and we can benefit thereby if we do not choke ourselves with too much at once nor try to retain used material. In fact, we, like a bubble in an Infinite Ocean, live, move and have our being in this Source of all, at all times. IT IS MERELY A MATTER OF WHAT WE ARE SEEKING AND AT WHAT LEVEL WE TUNE IN. This is what actually takes place and needs no other psychology, for it is the breath and movement of the soul itself.

All Greek dramas are based upon the story of the tragedy of the soul being bound by matter, as with chains. "Prometheus Bound" is one of these dramas, telling much of the ancient Greek's understanding of psychology.

Every life is but the relationship of the unit to its source. And the only possible path of travel is the flow between the two (the microcosm which is man, and the macrocosm which is the universe), in its various degrees of fineness and density of energy and matter as crystallized, fixed, static fields.

A centrifugal force, out from the center of all being and essence, causes creation, as myriads of sparks from a central hearth fire. And the return flow of this energy, as the centripetal or attractive force, links it and makes it seek its Source, in an effort to become unified again in its rhythm and essence. That explains the hunger of the soul and the constant will and desire within the soul, as unrealized longings and yearnings. The whole mystery of destiny and predestination lies here.

The soul, in turn, steps down its energy and becomes a slave of the mind, and expresses itself through the senses. The senses relate to the mind as units to the whole -- a positive pole above, as the source, and the negative pole or units below, seeking
