"As above, so below" is a phrase commonly used in metaphysics, referring to the appearance in the material world of counterparts in the spiritual realm. What we see, what we create in life is a reflection, an expression of our higher Self.

Likewise, what we see helps us to understand that higher Self. When we have those flashes of insight, when we see clearly, we relate our material existence to the knowing that we are more than mere bodies. When we try to look at everything in the world from our spiritual perspective, trying to understand rather than impose our belief system on the world, we are rewarded with the beauty of life, an appreciation for our role in the expression of Love.

It is the nature of all creation to evolve, to constantly seek a higher awareness of self, and thereby achieve a greater awareness of the Creator. In this evolutionary process, we create as the Creator, using the great Gift of Love.

I recently had one of those flashes of insight, that we have created (and Creation is never finished creating) a material counterpart of God in the internet, the world wide web. Each of our individual computers contains our personal "knowledge" of the world, just as each of our separate lives is the sum total of our life experiences. Our computers are linked via modem to a "service provider" that links many computers just as our soul level is the cumulative link of all our lives. All of the service providers are linked in the world wide web just as all souls are One.

Now, if only we could learn to use the %#@& modem properly!!!!
