Language of Cosmoses 3

[Read this numbered series in order if anyone is (because I'm referencing things from past posts in the series).]

It becomes clear, when contemplating cosmoses and finding examples, that the distinction between the Macrocosmos and a Microcosmos is of a different order and is central to a human being's experience with the subject.

Just to be able to be (to have the potential to be) a pattern (full pattern) of the Macrocosmos is something that is truly special; and a human being can be a full pattern of the Macrocosmos, i.e. a Microcosmos.

Having the full image of God is being a microcosmos patterned after the Macrocosmos.

We were created as that but fell and lost that full image; but it can be recovered.

This is being a cosmos that is contained in a different way from other cosmoses. Less reliant on other things (though still reliant on God as source of all energy and everything).

That verse from the Gospel of John (4:14) says it (from the post below).

This is a subject almost separate from seeing the world objectively. Different anyway. Seeing yourself not only as a cosmos - your body and so on - but seeing it as an actual microcosmos of the Macrocosmos. The image of God and also the Universe itself.

There are subjects in here like healing too. Seeing yourself as a cosmos introduces such subject matter like healing, or getting a full-cosmos sense of your body and being. The body has these abilities to stay in tune, or to get back into tune, and to heal itself, to some degree anyway. (To not get injured or ill to begin with is best, and is part of being above the law of accident and other things.)

But getting understanding of ourselves and of God is part of this connection of Macrocosmos and microcosmos. All the Work teaching of many 'I's and Real I, personality and essence and so on is describing us as cosmos, and the universe as macrocosmos, and so on.

I just wanted to point out how the Macrocosmos/microcosmos subject is of a different order than cosmoses in general.
