HARMONY

Divine Definitions: (1) All parts combined in a proportionate, consistent, and agreeable arrangement; congruous; disparate separations adapted to each other; (2) Everything in accord with every other thing; fitting together elegantly; (3) Balance; consonance; equilibrium; (4) Greater than the sum of its parts; superadditive; supersymmetry; (5) Concordant convergence as in music and poetry resonating melodiously beyond the individual notes <the music of the spheres>; (6) Peaceful; tranquil
     Note: Supersymmetry [definition number four] refers to the attempt, now almost exclusively in mathematics, to unify the divergent laws and forces which govern the universe. With God this equilibrium is inherent in His perfect divine poise.

Comments:
• When God separated the whole into parts, He created relationships. Every relationship creates a tension. In the absolute all unresolved tensions are equitably settled (instantly), often by the creation of new reality. Some of the tensions created and resolved were: potential and actual resolved by growth; infinite and subinfinite resolved in space through time; personal and impersonal resolved by mind. God is a creator; not a static fact in a state of absolute completion but alive and able to share, enrich, and excite reality.
• We experience much which is out of balance and in need of integration. This is the condition of things in our finite state of existence. Perfection in the infinite is inherent, but in the finite perfection is progressive.
• The natural and necessary consequence of perfect harmony of qualities and attributes in God is their mutually-limiting relationship. Each is interdependent with all others; nothing is out of balance.

Quotes:
• As long as you are working for your selfish little self, you’re just one cell against all those other cells, and you’re way out of harmony. But as soon as you begin working for the good of the whole, you find yourself in harmony with all of your fellow human beings. No life can be in harmony unless belief and practice are in harmony. — Peace Pilgrim [born Mildred Lisette Norman] (1908-1981) Steps Toward Inner Peace {2021}
• We need to re-discover the vast, harmonious pattern of the natural world we are a part of, the infinite complexity and variety of its myriad components, the miraculous simplicity of the whole. We need to learn again those essential qualities in our bodies, the alertness of our minds; curiosity and the desire to satisfy it, and the will to conquer it. — James Ramsey Ullman (1907-1971) The Age of Mountaineering {1990}

Comment: An individual needs to have a sense of self in harmony with a healthy worldview. When one changes, the other must also change. If they are out of sync, one will experience anxiety during the process of reestablishing the balance.
     The key is to include in your worldview the realization, and acceptance of, the fact of change. Include in your inner being an expanding ability to deal with change. The qualities to focus on are flexibility, growth, wisdom, tolerance, courage, understanding, and acceptance.
