As a Biology/Chemistry major in college, I’ve geeked out on Science and spent a portion of my teaching career teaching Physical & Earth Science.

This week’s sit focusing on Harmony is the graduate class of the Sixth Verity in Standing Tall, “Made First Class by First Class”. For the 6 months of Standing Tall I have loved this Verity because it is easy to visualize the harmony in nature because of a movie that I saw while in college.

The movie short, The Power of 10, is an animated visual exploration that “pulls” away from a man and boy fishing on lake, out into space showing images of a receding planet Earth, our neighboring planets, neighboring solar systems and ultimately out to view our neighboring galaxies.

The field of view then reverses by “rushing” back down from outer space, back into our atmosphere to the boat on the lake, and to a mosquito biting the little boy’s arm and then into the microscopic components of the human body descending down to the atomic level.

Now, admittedly this was a late night showing and I may have been in a slightly altered state, but what I took away from the film was that our universe follows a symmetrical pattern of life. Atoms and solar systems have a central sphere orbited by other spheres. So for the many months of the Verities I have come “home” to a central love of nature and the amazing harmony in our universe.

This is something that the most learned physical science teacher has not attempted — a field of discovery upon which he has not launched; … It does not seem to have dawned upon them that wisdom is just as much present everywhere as are forces and substance.

Electrons would forever remain electrons unless directed where to go to be assembled into atoms and molecules, and this director is Mind.

Charles Haanel, The Master Key System, 14:8

I have taught students about the structure of molecules and about the electrical charges of electrons and the balancing properties of the elements. I have taught about the human body and how the various organs work to maintain balance.

I have discussed how the body heals itself and yet never did I think about how the body orchestrated the body’s balance and regeneration… the subconscious mind.

When this tremendous fact begins to permeate your consciousness, when you really come into a realization of the fact that you, the “I”, the spirit which thinks is an integral part of the great whole, that it is the same substance, in quality, in kind … you will come into an understanding of the beauty, the grandeur, the transcendental opportunities which have been placed at your disposal.

Charles Haanel, The Master Key System, 13:27

And so finally, as I have been silently sitting, recognizing myself as a “cell” or receiver/transmitter in the Universal Mind, I am reminded of the animated Dr. Seuss movie Horton Hears a Who.

As I am reveling in my divinity as part of the Universal Mind, I am recognizing the diminutive nature of a single cell in the complexity of all knowledge. But, like the Whos who manage to get Horton’s attention, I know that as I learn to integrate myself into the Universal Mind I will experience the beauty, the grandeur, the transcendental opportunities which have been placed at my disposal.

I CAN NOT wait!
