Macro Philosophy Macro Philosophy is a system for relating all things from the smallest (micro) t o the largest

(Macro). Its basic tenets are that all things are not only related , they are macrocosmically one, and what is, is perfect. Things are only separat e and divisible from micro-limited viewpoints. Macro Philosophy envisions a microcosmic-Macrocosmic continnum (m-M continuum) i n which neutrons, protons, and electrons are indivisible parts of ever larger ph ysical bodies such as man. Continuing, we can perceive man as an indivisible par t of a third planet, called Earth. Again enlarging our perspective, we can perce ive this planet as an indivisible part of a solar system which is, in turn, an i ndivisible part of a galaxy, and so on... Man feel pain and lonliness and experiences sickness and death to the extent tha t he: 1. Feels separate and divided from self/others/universe/God (the Macrocosm) 2. Denies the perfection of what is. 3. Refuses to accept exclusive responsibility for all that he experiences. Why does the feeling of separateness cause anxiety? Because anything or anyone t hat we perceive as separate, foreign, or alien to us is a potential threat - pot entially anxiety-producing. To the degree that we feel oneness or union with any thing or anyone we can feel comfortable, accepting and loving - the opposite of anxiety. From a Macro perspective, all human suffering, fear, hate, pain, and disease are the result of lack of faith that all is one - all is love- all is what you migh t call God. All is perfect. This doesn't mean that negative thoughts, feelings, and actions don't exist. It points out that they are the products of unbalanced micro thinking. All the grea t religions of the world have proclaimed that "as you sow, so shall you reap." M acro Philosophy presents this in terms of the consequences of negative and posti ve thought patterns. If you are afraid that something will happen, it usually do es because that's what you've spent your thought energy on. The wise man in Proverbs 23:7, over 2,000 years ago stated that "As a man thinke th in his heart, so is he." Macro Philosophy holds that a negative thought produces a negative feeling and a negative experience, while a positive thought produces a positive feeling and a positive experience. No thought is ever forgotten. All our thoughts reside in o ur sebconscious mind (what the ancients called the heart) where each negative th ought continues to produce negative feelings until it is balanced or cancelled b y a positive thought of equal intensity/strength. Negative thought produces anxieties (psychological pain) such as fear, anger, fr ustration, guilt, depression, sadness, etc. We try to avoid negative feelings by denying their existence, instead of recognizing that we cause our own negative feelings by thinking negative thoughts.
