I remember the moment I finally rediscovered these principles. Talk about an “Aha! moment”. It felt as though I had just finished the last few pieces of a multiple lifetime jigsaw puzzle!
Chances are if you are here reading this today, you are aware enough to either have come across these principles before and may have an innate knowing about them.
Mentalism
The ALL is Mind. Mind is the fundamental nature of reality. Understanding this principle, we begin to understand the power of the idea of Mind over matter, placebo effect, and how we create our own reality. Mind is essential. The fundamental nature of reality. .
Correspondence
As above so below. This principle helps us to understand the nature of the relationship between microcosm and macrocosm and the fractal nature of reality. How that which is above is the same as that which is below. From stars to neutrons, cells to galaxies.
Vibration
Nothing rests, everything moves. Everything vibrates. Even things that appear to be still are vibrating. Plants, minerals, people, and objects are all vibrating at their own frequencies. Understanding vibration is integral in understanding reality. How we vibrate is how our reality responds to us.
Polarity
“Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites”
Positive and negative. Light and dark. Are really the same thing, they are only different in degree. For example temperature. Cold and hot are the same thing only different in degree. Just because something is cold does not make it bad or evil, and just because something is hot does not make it good or moral. Neither the inverse. Understanding polarity is key in transcending the perspective of duality. Right and wrong, good and bad, these all relative.
Rhythm
Closely related to the principle of Polarity, Rhythm is like the tide. A swing of a pendulum. A movement between poles. Understanding rhythm is crucial in helping us know when to act and when to plan, when to advance and when to retreat.
Cause and Effect
“Everything happens according to Law”
Every cause has an effect and every effect has a cause. This principle is key in understanding causation. Chance does not exist, there are only external or unperceived causes .
Gender
Gender is expressed in everything. Feminine and masculine principles are expressed on all planes. Gender in this sense is related to procreation, creation, and generation.
Also, gender refers to a much broader meaning than sex. We all express ourselves with Spiritual, mental, and physical gender. We often express many different qualities of both genders on multiple different levels.
