Greetings lovely beings, I thought why not share with you a cloud of thought that swifted through my mind. It is all in the balance, the zero point, the stillness, the tao, the seperator, equilibrium. Balance gives you freedom (and harmony). In etymology (or should we say atom logy...the atom) it says:
''balance (v.) 1570s, "be equal with," from balance (n.). Meaning "serve as a counterpoise to" is from 1590s; that of "bring or keep in equilibrium" is from 1630s; that of "keep oneself in equilibrium" is from 1833. Of accounts, "settle by paying what remains due," from 1580s. Related: Balanced; balancing.
balance (n.) early 13c., "scales, apparatus for weighing by comparison of mass," from Old French balance "balance, scales for weighing" (12c.), also in figurative sense; from Medieval Latin bilancia, from Late Latin bilanx, from Latin (libra) bilanx "(scale) having two pans," possibly from Latin bis "twice" (from PIE root *dwo- "two") + lanx "dish, plate, scale of a balance," which is of uncertain origin.
So in Latin balance. Or Libra; from atomology: ''from Latin libra "a balance''. Libra and Libre are one.
Thus, the word Libre/libra (the 'a' and the 'e' are interchangeable) reveals the truth. The truth that balance gives one freedom. Libra the scales/the balance makes one free, makes one Libre.
Viva la libertad!
Namaste :D
