Archimedes' Principle for Forgiveness and Spiritual Health

Archimedes Principle and Forgiveness.

I love hearing Grandma stories. No one is as wise as a well lived Grandma. I had one and I appreciate others as well. One such Granny used to say “water seeks its own level”. This is probably the best piece of advice I ever received, basically she was clueing me in to the idea that people will go as high as their own level of will can reach. This level is NOT absolute but is governed by the development of the person involved.

Archimedes Principle is a physical law of buoyancy (ability to float) that allows us to calculate the volume of an object submerged in water by measuring the volume of the water displaced once the object is submerged.

Sound complicated? The formula may give you a headache but the real life idea behind it is simple. For example, if a bucket measures 18 cubic centimeters of water before you submerge a toy block and it measures 21 cubic centimeters after you submerge the toy block, the toy block has a volume of 3 cubic centimeters. See not bad.

The idea works in reverse. Once you remove the toy, the water will return to its original level.

So how does this apply in real life? Sometimes a healer/lightworker/good friend will submerge themselves into another’s pool in an effort to buoy them. This is the job of the healer/lightworker/good friend and should be carried out with love. Once the additional volume has been added, some people will use the additional buoyancy to grow their flow and become a mighty force. Perhaps learn to flow on their own or learn to ride the wave. Unfortunately, others will take advantage of the additional buoyancy to simply float on.

The wise must learn when to withdraw their volume from the pool.

There is no hard and fast rule for this. I tend to follow my 1st directive in these situations. First cause no duress to myself or others but each healer/lightworker/good friend must establish his or her own code for this.

Now once you remove your volume from the other's pool their water will seek its own level. For some this will be a new level because they have learned the skills to buoy themselves and others will return to the original level. Forgiveness to me, is detaching from my need to feel this return. Understanding that ultimately I have no control over another’s flow. All I can do is lend my volume for a time.

Many times the healer/lightworker/good friend will involve themselves well past good use. The feeling that they've failed or fearful of the water level return. This is above your paygrade. All you can do is lend your volume for a time.

Again, the length of this time is dependent on the circumstances. Some will need you for a long time to develop their own flow. i.e children may need you for 20 years or more. A husband perhaps only 5. No matter, the wise must learn when to withdraw their volume from the pool and allow the water to seek its own level.

Often we become so immersed in the pool, we become the flow. This is dangerous to us and becomes damaging to the pool. Learn when to get out of water that is not yours.

The danger of staying inside the pool too long is that it prevents you from tending to your own waters. Remain in the wrong pool too long and ...well.
