This was the first thing that came to my mind seeing the reflections of the stunning scarlet, orange and pink sun drawn on the blued wetted sand of the pacific coast.
This phrase is very used and regurgitated by many philosophical and spiritual people. Many use it to explain the reflection of the external in the internal, and vice versa. Many use it to attach meaning to their interpretations of the laws of universe, or to their interpretation of the creation of life.
Have you heard it before? I see it referenced it so often these days. β¨
What does it mean to you? What wisdom do you think is in the message?
Many donβt know, but before its common Latin translation, it first appeared from Arabic compilations of the Emerald tablets. For my Arabic readers in the house: β¨
βΨ₯Ω Ψ§ΩΨ£ΨΉΩΩ Ω Ω Ψ§ΩΨ£Ψ³ΩΩ ΩΨ§ΩΨ£Ψ³ΩΩ Ω Ω Ψ§ΩΨ£ΨΉΩΩβ¨
and the part often skipped when someone reposts it on Instagram:
βΨΉΩ Ω Ψ§ΩΨΉΨ¬Ψ§Ψ¦Ψ¨ Ω Ω ΩΨ§ΨΨ― ΩΩ Ψ§ ΩΨ§ΩΨͺ Ψ§ΩΨ£Ψ΄ΩΨ§Ψ‘ ΩΩΩΨ§ Ω Ω ΩΨ§ΨΨ―
Meaning: βThe doing of miracles from one, just like all things were from one.β
Many historians agree that the book compilations in Arabic of the Emerald tablets were most likely based on old Syriac sources. Syriac is the more modern dialect of Aramaic, the mother tongue of the Eastern Mediterranean; Levant; Near East; the mother tongue of my people in this life, and alsoβfor those who may not knowβof Jesus.
In this image I took two days agoβduring the sunset of the winter solsticeβof the tranquil seagull sharing this moment of peace at my favorite beach, I see nature reflecting this quote at me quite literally: as above, so below.
Letβs not forget the last little bit I mentioned above that comes after: βas all things came from one.ββ¨
