Involution (esoterism)

Involution is like when you decide to make a big tower out of blocks, but instead of adding more and more blocks, you start taking blocks away one by one. You do this to make the tower smaller and simpler, but also stronger and more balanced.

When we talk about involution in esoterism, we mean a similar process that happens inside ourselves. Instead of adding more and more things to our minds, emotions, and bodies, we try to simplify and refine them. We want to make them stronger, more balanced, and more in tune with our true selves.

Involution can involve a lot of different practices like meditation, self-reflection, and self-discipline. These practices can help us let go of things that don't serve us anymore and focus on what really matters.

Sometimes involution can feel uncomfortable, like when you have to let go of a toy you really like to make space for new toys. But in the end, it can be really rewarding, like when you build a stable, beautiful tower that you can be proud of.
