SPHERES AND REFLECTION
“In the division of the indivisible, all spheres are one.”
As beings of the material sphere, we perceive existence through five consciously used senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Although we may not realize it, each of us also constantly uses a sixth sense—one that arises from the mirrored side of our being, which we commonly refer to as the soul.
This “soul,” however, is not just a reflection of our personality. It is a distinct spiritual being with its own way of perception. The sense through which the soul “sees” is often imprecisely called the “third eye”—yet it is not a physical organ, but a capacity to perceive reality from a different plane than our ordinary sensory receptors allow.
Understanding this sixth sense is no easy task. Just as it is difficult to define the difference between the experience of taste and sight—or explain why the sensation of scent cannot be replaced by sound—so too is the sixth sense elusive and unique. It is simply something other, and yet it complements and intertwines with our other five senses.
As for the term “spiritual being,” it actually applies to all beings—including us. We, too, are spiritual beings, even though our physical form distinguishes us in many ways from other expressions of existence.
All of reality operates through a principle of reflection. Within each of us, two aspects—physical and spiritual—mirror one another. In the same way, the different spheres of existence reflect and overlap. And just as the soul and body intersect within a single human, so do the spheres of being intersect in a single “place.”
If we were to “rotate” our perception of this intersection by a symbolic 120 degrees, we might become aware of a certain “space” between the spheres—not a spatial gap in the physical sense, but a difference in energetic frequency. When we turn our perception back by those same 120 degrees, that “space” disappears and our awareness returns to its original frame of reference.
The diagram of the spheres of existence may offer a faint approximation of how they function. Yet the passage between them is difficult to describe—it can only be gestured toward through symbolic language, such as the “rotation” of our perspective. Each “sector” of this rotation corresponds to a different sphere, although the spheres do not lie next to one another but instead interpenetrate. They do not form a sequence in any linear sense. Rather, each sphere is distinguished by the dominant frequency of energy that permeates it.
This mirroring, however, does not behave like a material mirror. The foundational structure of existence is the number three. We ourselves perceive the surrounding “material” space in three dimensions: height, width, and depth. The mirroring of the spheres, then, is likewise triple in nature, while still forming a single whole.
All existence is an enclosed cycle of energy, continuously flowing from one sphere to another in varying frequencies, only to return again to its origin and repeat in an endless cycle. This movement is so multidimensional that it defies precise description.
The notion of the “division” of spheres is, therefore, fundamentally misleading. Sadly, our language is incapable of capturing the true mechanisms of reality with exact precision. We are left to make do with imperfect terms and symbolic images that can only ever gesture toward the truth.
