How do you bridge the microcosm of daily life with the macrocosm of spiritual existence?

Question

How can you mediate between the imponderable or irreconcilable things in this matter?

Answer 1

when you understand that the microcosm is the macrocosm, that all of life is holographic and your physical manifestation is a reflection of your spiritual one, but since it is physical it dwells in division. So what this presents is that the physical is illustrative of what is spiritual in you, or what is hidden in you, in its reflection. So you bridge the gap by applying what you see and encounter within yourself, because it applies to the life in you which has projected it and thus you are using what is in front of you to create movement towards development within yourself, within your mind bringing your daily life into the Light of the spiritual it reflects.

Become renewed in the light of consciousness.

Answer 2

Great question! To add to some of the great answers you have already received, think "I'm a spiritual being having a physical experience." As you go throughout your day, do your best to bring some light to everyone you encounter, whether it's your co-workers or the girl at the grocery store check-out counter. Do your best to do no harm. Keep to your own counsel. Attempt to let your actions contribute to the greater good. With all the injustice and craziness in this world, all you can do is do your part. Know that it DOES make a difference. Prayer and even a good cry helps release the tension inside as you "mediate between the irreconcilable things" in life.
Blessed Be.

By transcending time and space. By rising above the existence of mortal man-kind. Simply by asking for help in the morning and thank you at night. What does talking to the air have to do with the imponderable or the irreconcilable? Try staying underwater for an hour without air and see if you are a High Power. All beings have a Power Greater than themselves. Mine is a Perfect Non-created being that has transcended time and space. 100% Perfect Flesh. 100% Perfect God. When I focus on my Higher Power, I am one with the Power. The only true thing that matters is Now. Future has not happened. Past is gone. Now is all that we have. If someone is having a hard time believing in a Power Greater than Themselves, then just breath. Who made the air? You?

Answer 4

By contemplating the external patterns of daily reality as the macrocosm, mirroring the internal microcosm of conflicted little conditioned beliefs, we build the bridge allowing 'The Real' to come to us.

Pondering the irreconcilable until cause and effect are uncovered means nothing is hidden from conscious awareness and nothing is beyond us. We become the Seer.

Paul of Tarsus described it perfectly, "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

Answer 5

Shhh...... Not so loud. I'm in transcendental meditation right now, thinking on the imponderable. My microscopic spiritual presence might disturb its equilibrium, and come plunging down the macrocosm of Daily Life and break every bone in my body.

To my knowledge, God has given only one man for mediation between the irreconcilables - man and his Creator. We nailed him to the cross, and he has risen back to life. No one else has this ability, and the right to mediate.

Answer 6

Our mind is like an eye that can see through the imponderable. But much of what we "see" while we can't be there yet can become the basis of our minute actions in our microscopic life. Make every opportunity where we can emulate our spiritual desire for goodness. Give, when we have something to give. Be compassionate all the time. And most of all, love unconditionally.

Answer 7

I always thought it was life that was the macrocosm and spiritual existence the microcosm. After all, your spirituality is only within one person--you. Life is all around.
How to bridge them is up to you, but it essential that you "accept the things you cannot change." After that, nothing should ruffle your cosmological feathers.

Answer 8

There is no difference between the microcosm the macrocosm.Both are the same. It is only the mind imagines everything to be separate.Meditation is mind going to it's starting point.Once it goes there, there is no 2 only one.

That was the point of Tientais work in China in the sixth century and Nichiren Daishonin's work in Japan in the thirteeenth century. They built on a vast body of work in this direction done over millenia by the Indians.
The Indian systems are built in strata whereby the non-brahmin classes performed their various functions in daily life and followed the ceremonies. The study was left to the brahmins. Shakyamuni decided to turn this system on its head and sought to help the common people become enlightened. Those efforts went through development for centuries and finally came to Tientai in China. He systematized the Buddhist sutras and commentaries and came up with ichinen sanzen as his crowning achievement. This was still mostly for people who coulod spend 20 years as a monk studying and meditating in order to understand. Nichiren Daishonin came up with the e=mc^2 for life. His system enables ordinary people to put the contradictions and confusions aside, if they choose, and see the whole picture in its glory, depth and breadth, when they choose, and to attend to daily affairs without yearning, when that is appropriate.
It takes some study, and some effort, but it is within reach for anyone who commits to that kind of understanding.
The whole thing is based on what is observable, with some conclusions based on observation of natural cycles, a sophisticated cosmology, and leaving behind the pantheon of gods and supernatural forces that so confuse the masses all over the world.
There are many fine scientific approaches that complement the understanding, but it is first necessary to understand human life and our relationships in order to clear the disturbances that cloud thought.

Relationship. The one became two and the two become one, only through relationship is there unity and the deeper the relationship the deeper the unity. In the words of Joseph Campbell *Follow your bliss*.
