Macrocosm

macrocosm

  • The MACROCOSM and MICROCOSM notions are introduced by HERMES TRISMEGISTOS in his “Emerald Plate”, the initiator of Alchemy. The MICROCOSM represents the human being with all it’s “vehicles” or “bodies”, both visible and invisible. The MACROCOSM represents the universe with its physical, visible and subtle, invisible aspects. In physics there is a different definition of microcosm as the inner world of the atom. We will refer only to the esoteric acception of this notion. In this respect we must mention that we use the ANALOGY as a powerful tool to create a relation between the human being and the world, the microcosm and the macrocosm. “It is perfectly true and beyond any possible doubt that what is bellow (that is inside the MICROCOSM) is ANALOGICALLY similar to what is above (in the MACROCOSM)”, HERMES TRISMEGISTOS. This principle emerges from the fundamental oneness of God. It is said : “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness” (Genesis 1:26-27). This is a powerful statement introducing the notion of analogy between MICROCOSM and MACROCOSM. In tantra we consider that the initiated can use the analogy as a powerful tool that allows for a deeper understanding on the world and of oneself. In this analogy The SUN (+) is the father and the MOON (-) is the mother. The mountains are the bones and the wind is the breath; the rivers are the blood; the fire analogically corresponds to the gastric liquids and the thunder analogically is the orgasm. There are seven secret force centers in the human being, from MULADHARA CHAKRA to SAHASRARA. They all have ANALOGICAL MACROCOSMIC centers named MAHA-MULADHARA CHAKRA,…, MAHA-SAHASRARA. These seven MACROCOSMIC centers are the seven fundamental planes of the universe.
