The Same Magnet - Akira the Don

The outside thing that you see

And the inside thing that you are

Are poles — of the same magnet

Or back and front of the same coin

Without one there isn’t the other

That means, of course, then, that we are living in the midst of a world of

animals, vegetables, minerals, atmospheres, astronomical bodies that’s highly

intelligent

It’s intelligence concentrated, crystallized, in our brains

That’s where it comes out, you see?

In any field

The outside thing that you see

And the inside thing that you are

Are poles — of the same magnet

Or back and front of the same coin

Without one there isn’t the other

Let’s take any field of forces

Take a chemical solution, and at certain critical points in this chemical

solution, the crystals start to form

And so, in the same way, the total intelligence of this whole universe

crystallizes in human brains

Also in other kinds of brains

That’s where it really comes out

But it’s the total intelligence of the whole field that does this

So we go with the whole thing;

interdepend with it

The outside thing that you see

And the inside thing that you are

Are poles — of the same magnet

Or back and front of the same coin

Without one there isn’t the other

We don’t live in an environment which is just rock, just air, just atmosphere,

and so on

The environment’s only like that when we think about it analytically and try to

explain it

But when we think of, «It isn’t just rock and air,» see, but «those things go

together.»

When you see the interconnectedness, when you see, in the simplest way,

how flowers go with bees

And other insects;

they don’t live without them

Humans go with cattle, they don’t exist without them

Plants, etc, etc, etc

When you see the intervals, the significance of the relationships between these

things, it’s only then, when you see that, that you are aware of the melody

The outside thing that you see

And the inside thing that you are

Are poles — of the same magnet

Or back and front of the same coin

Without one there isn’t the other

The person who can’t hear melody, who is tone-deaf

He only hears a succession of sounds, because he’s not aware of the intervals

Now, most people are brought up to be tone-deaf in respect to their own

existence and the rest of the universe

They don’t see the relationships

They’re not aware of the unity

Once you spot that, you spot how everything goes with the thing

But you are one end and that, out there, is the other end

And they really go together

Then you may be said to be living a harmonious life
