Jack Stafford - The Universal Law of the One and the Many Lyrics

From the One comes the Many and from the Many comes the One
Within the one is the potential for the many
And within the many, there is inherently the one.
In the subatomic world
In the astronomical world
And anywhere in between
Including all of human behaviour.

In the Universe, expanding out
Forming super galaxy clusters
that will contract, back into the one

On the Earth In Geology
Tectonic plates make a continent
Then disintegrate back, into individuality

In Oceanology, equatorial heat rises
And watery polar cool falls
Circulating, and redistributing resources

The more you force yourself to the many
The more nature forces you back to the one
Use...
this knowledge
Understand nature's way, accept it and grow

In the body In Chemistry
Nucleophilic substitution or elimination
Many to one and one to many reactions

In Enzymology, enzymes catalyse
Anabolic and catabolic reactions To build and
destroy, to maintain metabolic equilibrium

In the nervous system, the parasympathetic anabolises
And the sympathetic catabolises
Autonomically, from one to many.

Understand this Law
Meet the needs of others
Not just your own
And you can make a vast difference
Change the entire world

When everything outside's a reflection of what's inside you
You... will have mastered your life
You'll have equity outside
Equanimity within
Be inspired by what you do
Become certain and present
And live
With love
And gratitude
