Master of two worlds
A spiritual awakening can flood you with many realizations you don’t know how to interpret into daily life. The burdens that come with being alive are the very reasons you began the search for deeper meaning of this human experience. The most freeing moments on the journey is when you don’t have the demands of the material world; meditations can make you feel limitless, nature feels more vibrant with every spiritual download. When you know all these material things mean nothing how do you fuse spirituality with the demands of reality.
“Master of two Worlds” is an archetype. This archetype usually shows up after you’ve had a big initiation (awakening, heartbreak, collapse, healing, mystical opening) and now you’re stuck in the “in-between” you are not who you once were, and still unsure in who you are becoming.
The call to adventure (spiritual awakening) signifies that destiny has summoned the hero (you) and transferred his center of gravity from within the pale of this society to a zone unknown. This fateful region of both treasure and danger may be variously represented: as distant land, a forest, a kingdom underground, beneath the waves or above the sky, a secret island, lofty mountaintop, or profound dream state; but it is always a place of strangely fluid and polymorphous beings, unimaginable torments, superhuman deeds, and impossible delights. -Joseph Campbell- A hero’s journey
The “Man Between Worlds” has turned the tumultuous road he traveled from fear into meaningful guided information. The information that was once fragmented is now integrated, turning intuition into action, mysticism into meaning, and insight into embodied change. When fused, this archetype becomes a bridge between spirit and matter, able to move between the inner world and ordinary life without losing reverence for either.
Nothing exist in itself or by itself, for the world is a vast tapestry woven of relations. Not even the smallest strand in this web can be tugged without affecting all the myriad strands and interdependencies to which it is connected, and of which it is composed. This is true of matter and also true of the nature of the human body and the psyche. – The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
The Law of Correspondence (as above so below) teaches this very principle as well as The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the illusion is that reality is separate from spirit. When we stop trying to divide the two, we can live in harmony with all that is, because it is all meaningful information. For over 100 years science has tried to put classical information and quantum information in separate rooms only to discover you can’t divide it. I think the better question to ask is why humans always feel the need to divide … is it our nature or simply just the nature of the ego. People want to believe in something that gives them purpose, meaning, and safety. That is why the totality of energy that can’t be measured is called “God”. The constant desire to divide is so that it’s more digestible to the human experience. Maybe the Universe doesn’t want you to figure it out, it wants you to believe in it.
The quest isn’t to become “The Master of two Worlds” It is to dissolve the belief that there was ever separation. -Korrin Ellen
