Butter

The butter floats in water because it is less dense than water. Water has a density of 1 g/mL, and butter has a density of about 0.9 g/mL.

Floating is connected to calmness in the waking world.

Calmness Indicates A Strong Mind:
Still waters run deep, and the great universal forces are inaudible.Where calmness is, there is the greatest power. Calmness is the sure indication of a strong, well-trained, patiently disciplined mind. The calm man knows his business,be sure of it.His words are few, but they tell. His schemes are well planned, and they work true, like a well-balanced machine…. As he is prepared for all events, so he is ready for all men…he commands by an inherent force which calmness has rendered habitual and unconscious. Calmness, as distinguished from the dead placidity of languor, is the acme of concentrated energy.There is a focused mentality behind it.In agitation and excitement, the mentality is dispersed.

It is irresponsible, and is without force or weight. The fussy, peevish, irritable man has no influence. He repels and not attracts. He wonders why his ‘easy going’ neighbour succeeds, and is sought after, while he, who is always hurrying, worrying… falls and is avoided. His neighbour, being a calmer man, not more easy going but more deliberate, gets through more work does it more skillfully,and is more self-possessed. This is the reason of his success and influence.

His energy is controlled and used while the other man’s energy is dispersed and abused. Energy then is the first pillar in the temple of prosperity and without it, there can be no prosperity.
