These 7 Rosicrucian Laws Govern All Planes Of Existence

[Music] within the cryptic annals of Arcane wisdom few names conjure as much Enigma as the rosac crucians their teachings Whisper of Hidden Truths ancient knowledge and the enigmatic forces that govern our universe at the heart of their Doctrine lies a profound Revelation seven Cosmic principles that pulse through the very fabric of existence from the grandest galaxies to The tiniest atoms imagine the SE principles as invisible threads weaving the intricate fabric of the cosmos they are the keys to understanding the secrets of life and the universe guiding The rhythms of nature the cycles of time and

believe it or not your everyday actions we humans like to think that we have complete control over our lives but heed my words fellow Mystics humans must obey the laws of the universe just like everything else in the univers Universe To defy them and fight them is to rebel against creation itself which is the death of your potential connection with God therefore in absorbing this powerful knowledge I ask of you to embrace humbleness and live in accordance with them for that is the only path to prosperity and divine Ascension anyway the seven rosicrucian principles hold

the power to transform your perception and to unveil the hidden patterns that shape reality itself the Journey to uncover these Mysteries begins here each principle a Sigil a key to Hidden Realms will draw you ever nearer to the ineffable truth that governs the cosmos dare you decipher the Arcana of the rosicrucians if the answer is yes keep watching for this video is sure to change your life for the better welcome to agrippa's diary the Gathering Place for mystical Seekers the principle of Correspondence Manifests in a certain correspondence or analogy or agreement between manifestations of the

various planes of activity in the cosmos it is indicated by the old hermetic aphorism As Above So Below as below so above and by the Arcane axium X Uno dis omnis or from one know all the rosicrucians and other ancient occultists hold that the laws governing the nature and activity of the amoeba likewise govern the nature and activity Of man and beings higher than man what is true of matter is true of energy and of mind the occultists make a practical application of this Universal principle in the direction of studying The Unknown by means of

the known with the knowledge that the same laws govern each thus just as the solar system may be known by means of studying the atoms and molecules so may the higher planes of being be studied by an examination of the lower planes in manifestation before Us after discovering the operation of certain principles in one thing we may safely Reason by analogy based upon the assumption that these principles exist in other things on a higher plane and thus discover the nature of the unknown thus the occultist reasons that there is Law and Order manifest on every

plane of being and the further that human investigation is pushed into the unknown the greater is the proof of the existence of these Cosmic principles reasoned out by the ancient occultists upon the fundamental basis of the principle of Correspondence there is always a correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various Plains of life and being the grasping of this truth gives one the means of solving many a dark Paradox many a hidden secret of nature there are Plains beyond our knowing but when we apply the principle of Correspondence to them we are able to

Understand much that otherwise would be unknowable to us this principle is of universal application and manifestation on the various Plains of the material mental and spiritual Universe it is a universal law the ancient hermetist considered this Principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the instructions which hid from view the unknown its use even tore aside the veil of Isis to the extent that a glimpse of The face of the Goddess might be caught just as a knowledge of the principles of geometry enables a man to

measure distant sons and their movements while seated in an observatory so a knowledge of the principle of Correspondence enables man to reason intelligently from the known to the unknown studying the Monon he understands the Archangel without going deeply into the matter of the application of this Particular Cosmic principle we may say that one of the fundamental facts of being discovered by the ancient occultists through the application of the said principle is this that in everything there is to be found the following substance or body motion or active energy and Consciousness or awareness therefore when dealing

with PLS of being of which at the time they had but little knowledge the ancient occultists always assumed the existence In everything on the unknown plane of these three great forms of manifestation and all future esoteric investigations and discoveries tended to disclose facts corroborating and sustaining the original assumption derived by analogy and the discoveries of modern science have invariably tended in the same direction it may be interesting to take a hasty glance at the presence of these three forms of manifestation as follows substance the Ancient occult teaching that everything has a body seems to be

fully corroborated by all subsequent investigations but it must be noted that by substance or body is not necessarily meant what modern science calls matter for the latter is merely one form or phase of substance or body matter as we know it has a great range of manifestations within the limits of which are found the hardest granite or steel or Diamond as well as the finest And most subtle and tenuous gases the discovery by science of what it calls radiant matter opens out a field to science previously tilled only by the occultists and metaphysicians such matter

is really not matter at all but super matter and a higher form of substance or body but known to the occultists there are forms of substance or body as much finer and rarer than radiant matter as the latter is rarer and finer than the granite Steel or Diamond even the hypothetical ether of science is gross by comparison with some of the forms and phases of substance or body known to the occultists and Alchemists the field of matter as known to science as compared with the real extent of the principle of substance is as no more

than a hairline drawn across a yard stick the occult teachings inform us that there are living beings in existence on Other planes whose bodies are composed of substance so fine and subtle that the term ethereal is the only one to be even fairly adequate to be employed in connection with them remember the occult teaching is that everything has substance or body and everything includes all that is Manifest motion or Active Energy the ancient occult teaching that everything moves seems to be fully corroborated by all subsequent Investigations motion of course results from the presence and power

of active energy and active energy is found everywhere present and in manifestation both the occult teaching and modern science teach that everything is undergoing constant change and change is impossible without active energy and motion Active Energy manifests through gravity gravitation cohesion chemical Affinity electronic attraction expansion contraction centrifugal and centripetal Force light heat magnetism electricity Etc and there are much finer forces than these known to the occultists though not as yet discovered by science wherever there is substance there is motion nothing is at Absolute rest everything moves from the tiniest elect or atom up to the

greatest Sun all is in constant motion remember the occult teaching is that everything moves and everything includes all that is Manifest Consciousness the ancient Occult teaching that everything is aware seems to be fully corroborated by all subsequent investigations there is manifested consciousness of some form phase or degree on all planes of life and being wherever there is substance there is also motion and also Consciousness substance Consciousness and motion are always found together never apart or divorced one from another there can be no substance without Consciousness and Motion no motion without substance and Consciousness and no

consciousness without substance and motion in the above we have but one of the many applications of the principle of Correspondence which teaches that As Above So Below as below so above and that from one know all the principle of Law and Order manifests in the presence and manifestation of a regular sequence and orderly procession of phenomena in the Universe of things it is voiced by the celebrated Axiom of a leading scientist that the universe is governed by laws the spirit of this principle of Truth is embodied in the very term the cosmos which term is

derived from the Greek term Cosmos meaning the world or universe is considered to be connected with perfect order and Arrangement as opposed to chaos in the occult teachings of the rosicrucians it is impressed upon the student that there is no such thing As chance in so far as chance is used in the sense of uncaused happening the student is taught that even in the instances in which blind chance seems to rule there is still the manifestation of Law and Order and causation though the causes May lie outside of human knowledge the term chance is now

employed by careful thinkers only in the sense of the unknown or unforeseen cause or causes of an event in the cosmos the same causes manifesting under the same Circumstances always produce the same effects all of our science and thought are based upon this Universal fact and intelligent reasoning would be impossible without the tacit Assumption of the truth of this principle there is no room for chance or haphazard Lawless happenings in the cosmos everything every happening and every event must have its causes and its beuses everything happens because of so and so given certain causes there

must UE certain results and effects nothing ever happens says the old proverb and nothing ever does happen except for definite causes and in pursuance with universal laws there is no room in the universe for anything outside of an independent of Law and Order the existence of such an outside something would render all Cosmic law ineffective and would plunge the universe into chaotic disorder and lawlessness a careful examination will Show that what we call Chance is merely the idea of obscure causes causes that we cannot understand the word chance is derived from a word meaning to

fall as the falling of Dice from the box onto the board the essence of the idea being that the fall of the dice is merely a happening unrelated to any cause and this is the sense in which the term is generally employed but when the matter is closely examined it is seen that there is no chance whatsoever about the Fall of the dice each time a dice Falls and displays a certain number it obeys a law as infallible as that which governs the revolution of the planets around the sun and the movement of the sun

itself back of the fall of the dice are causes or chains of causes running back further than the mind can follow the position of the dice in the Box the amount of muscular energy expended in the throw the condition of the table Etc all are causes the effect of the combination of Which may be seen in the fall and position of rest of the dice but back of these perceived causes there are chains of unseen preceding causes all of which have had a bearing upon the position of the dice as it comes to rest on

the table if the dice is cast a great number of times it will be found that the numbers shown will be about equal that is there will be an equal number of one spot two spots Etc coming uppermost toss a penny in the air and it may come down Either heads or tails but make a sufficient number of tosses and the heads and tails will even up this is the operation of the law of average but both the average and the single toss come under the law of cause and effect there is no original happening

and every happening is merely a link in a great chain of happenings there is a continuity between precedent happenings the present happenings and future happenings there is there is always a Relation between what has gone before and what is happening now and what will happen in the future for instance a stone is dislodged from the mountain side and crashes through the roof of a cottage in the valley below at first sight this seems to be a chance effect but when we examine the matter we find a great chain of causes behind it in the first

place there was the rain which softened the Earth supporting the stone and which allowed or caused to fall but There was also the influence of the sun other rains and so on which gradually disintegrated The Rock from a larger piece then there were the causes which led to the formation of the mountain and its upheaval by convulsions of Nature and so on at infinitum we might follow up the causes behind the rain then we might consider the existence of the cottage just at that place at that particular moment in short we would soon find ourselves

Involved in a mesh of cause and effect from which we would soon strive vainly to extricate ourselves but the rosicrucians do not believe in fatalism in the ordinary sense of that term fatalism denies that preceding events have any causal relation to preceding events and holds that the fated event would have happened in spite of any precedent event fatalism makes the fated event stand apart from the LW of cause and effect and implies That the event arose from the operation of some arbitrary degree or will The Following quotation from an authoritative Source will serve to point

out the essential distinction between fatalism and the determination of cosmic law fatalism is the doctrine that the course of events is so determined that what an individual Wills can have no effect on that course fatalism must be carefully distinguished from determinism as the confusion of these two Conceptions has been respons responsible for much of the popular Prejudice existing against determinism fatalism as has been said denies that will has efficacy in shaping events determinism maintains that this causally efficient will is itself to be causally accounted for this is entirely different for the fatalistic assertion that will

counts for nothing in fact determinism and fatalism are fundamental antagonistic determinism asserts that Events are determined by some of the events that immediately precede them that if the latter were different the former would be different fatalism denies that immediately preceding events have anything to do with the origination of events immediately following it asserts that the latter would occur even if the former were changed to say that one's death is fixed by Fate is to deny that it takes place by natural law or more accurately it is to say that However much one varies the cause

one cannot vary the effect the fatalists position is that the end is predetermined but not the means the determinists position is that the events now occurring lead by causality to other events which are thus fixed because their causes are actually existent or to put it still another way for the fatalist what actually determines the event is not another event immediately preceding but some mysterious decree Issued by some mysterious agent ages before the event this enables us to see that fatalism gives no scope to the will but determinism which merely asserts that every event has its

determining conditions in its immediate antecedence includes among those antecedants the human will thus determinism is consistent with a belief in the efficacy of Will and fatalism is not in the above we have illustrations of some of the many applications of the principle of Law and Order which teaches that nothing happens by chance but everything happening is in accordance with law order and [Music] causation the principle of vibration manifests in the manifestation of a state of vibration in everything in the manifested cosmos it is voiced by the old occult Axiom everything vibrates modern science has advanced

to the position of the ancient occultists Who asserted that everything in the cosmos was in a state or condition of continuous vibration science now tells us that not only is every particle of matter or every mass of matter in a state of continual vibration but also that light heat magnetism electricity and every other form of natural force results from a state of vibration the occultists go further than this and assert that even on the mental and spiritual planes there is ever Manifest a condition of vibration in fact the occultists teach that the distinction between the

several planes of being is almost entirely due to the difference in the rate and character of the vibrations manifested the difference between steel and gold or diamond and Clay is entirely a matter of difference in vibrations all forms of energy are accompanied by distinctive degrees of vibrations the conditions of material substances are Created by the respective degree of Vibrations manifested by each science offers the illustration of a rapidly moving wheel top or cylinder to show the effects of increasing rates of vibration the illustration supposes a wheel top or revolving cylinder running at a high rate

of speed we will call this revolving thing the object in following out the illustration let us suppose the object to be moving slowly it may be seen Readily but no sound of its movement reaches the ear then the speed is gradually increased in a few moments the movement becomes so rapid that a deep growl or low note may be heard then as the rate of motion is increased the note Rises higher in the musical scale then the motion being still further increased the next highest note is distinguished then one after another all the notes of

the musical scale will appear Rising higher and higher as the motion is Increased finally when the motions have reached a certain rate the final note perceptible to human ears is reached and the shrill piercing shriek dies away and silence follows no sound is then heard from the revolving object for its rate of motion is so high that the human ear cannot register the vibrations then comes the perception of rising degrees of heat after quite a time in which degrees of heat are being manifested without any sign of Distinguishable color though certain colors are there but

imperceptible to human Vision there gradually is manifested a dull dark reddish color in the revolving object as the rate of speed increases the red becomes brighter then as the speed is still further increased the red changes into an orange color then follow successively the shades of green blue indigo go and finally Violet as the rate of vibrations increases then the Violet Fades away and All color disappears the human eye not being able to register them but there are invisible Rays emanating from the revolving object the Rays that are used in photographing and other subtle rays

of light then begin to be manifested the peculiar Rays known as the X rays Etc as the constitution of the object changes electricity and magnetism are emitted when the appropriate rate of vibration is attained when the revolving object reaches a certain degree or rate Of vibration its molecules disintegrate and resolve themselves into the original elements or atoms then the atoms in turn disintegrate and are resolved into the countless corpuses which constitute the atom and finally even the corpuses disintegrate and a condition of ethereal substance is produced science does not dare to follow the illustration further

but the occultists teach that if the vibrations were continuously increased the revolving object would Mount up the Successive states of manifestation and would display the various higher stages of Consciousness the occultists teach that each and every mental or emotional state has its own distinctive rate of vibration and that the secret of emotional contagion is due to the fact that similar VI vibrations are set up in the emotional nature of persons subjected to the influence of strong emotion in another person all Manifestations of thought emotion will desire or feeling or any other mental state are accompanied

and caused by vibrations of a certain High rate and that these vibrations tend to influence others in their field of induction and tend to set up in the others similar vibrations in this fact lies the secret of mental influence and personal magnetism a knowledge and Mastery of the science of mental vibrations enables the skilled Ros acuan to change the rate of His mental vibrations at will and to thus maintain a state of mental calm and power unaffected by the thought vibrations of those around him so truly does advanced modern scientific thought recognize the nature of

vibrations that the Axiom is announced that the difference in things consists in entirely of difference in vibrations this Axiom is akin to the ancient occult aphorism that things manifest differences according to their Rate of vibrations so it is seen that all human investigation tends to prove the truth of the old occult Axiom that everything vibrates the principle of Rhythm manifests that un Universal regular swing or time beat that is apparent in all the manifested world from its highest to its lowest manifestation the ancient occult Axiom everything beats time expresses this fundamental fact of the cosmos

Rhythm Means regularly recurring motion change or impulse proceeding in a Time measured alternating sequence the term alternating means succeeding acting or happening in turn the term recurring means returning repeatedly occurring at stated intervals or According to some regular rule Rhythm manifests in regular recurrence succession in turn and repeated Occurrence at stated intervals the simplest and most typical example or illustration of rhythm is found in The Swinging of the pendulum the revolution of the Earth on its axis and around the Sun in regular measured time the beating time of the Rome or the Baton of the

musical director or the measured time in poetry or music rhythm means beating time in regular Motion in all Rhythm there is recurring motion change and activity action or Motion in opposite directions alternations between the opposite poles of action or motion and a regular interval of time between the Alternating actions or motions in all phenomenal change or motion there is to be always found the ex existence of two opposite extremes between which the rhythmic change or motion is manifested rhythmic change and motion proceed by alternating swings between these two extremes with a regular period of time

elapsing between each beat swing or impulse in either direction the period of time between the two alternating impulses constitutes the rhythmic rate Degree or beat its rhythmic measure of periodicity the term periodicity so often employed in connection with the subject of Rhythm means state of occurring or recurring at fixed intervals of time every phenomenal thing manifests periodicity by reason of the presence and activity of the principle of Rhythm every phenomenal thing has its own rhythmic beat or measure of periodicity all scientific investigation tends to Corroborate the ancient occult Axiom everything beats time Rhythm is a

necessary characteristic of all motion given the coexistence everywhere of antagonistic forces a postulate which is necessitated by our experience and Rhythm is a necessary Cory all motion alternates be it the motion of planets in their orbits or ethereal corpuses in their undulations be it the Cadence of speech or the rise and fall of prices it became Manifest that this Perpetual reversal of motion between limits is inevitable the atoms in their vibrations manifest Rhythm the swing of the planets and the whirling of the earth manifest Rhythm the rise and fall of the tides manifest Rhythm the

swing of the pendulum is interrupted by Rhythm completed rhythm is represented only by a completed Revolution or circular movement uninterrupted Rhythm always manifests as a complete movement in an Orbit but in as much as the center between the two extremes is itself moving in response to a higher order of Rhythm we see at last that all completed Rhythm manifests as a spiral a circular movement that at the same time is moving forward by the principle of Rhythm day is followed by night and Night by day summer and winter alternate in their appearance sleeping and waking

alternate work and rest exchange places involution is followed by evolution and evolution By involution all changes proceed according to rhythmic order and sequence the conduct of mankind is regulated by Rhythm fashions in dress in taste and in feeling all come and go and come again everything comes back in time races rise and fall and then rise again again to fall the course of Empires WS its way in a cyclic procession around the earth history repeats itself even our emotions have their tidal movements nothing swings beyond the Limit of its extremes nothing can pass beyond its

rhythmic limits consequently if a thing swings far in One Direction it swings back equally far in the other its reaction is in the measure of its action though in an opposite direction if its swing is great its extremes are widely apart if the swing is small then the extremes are close together the pendulum illustration may be applied to the phenomena on all planes a short beat of the metronome allows the rod to move Only a short distance each way the long beat admits of a wide swing and in the same way those who suffer keenly

also enjoy keenly while those whose Natures admit of but little suffering are also incapable of more than a limited capacity for enjoyment a pig suffers little and enjoys but while a highly organized sensitive individual suffers the torments of emotional and mental hell at times while at others he mounts to the Heavenly Emotional and mental Realms the pendulum swings as far in One Direction as in the other in some of the higher teachings of the rosicrucians the student is instructed in the application of the principle of Rhythm to the Mastery of his emotional states and feelings

the essence of this secret teaching is that the wise perceiving the inevitable reaction following action the E tide following the high tide managed to escape the consequences of the Reaction by rising to their higher Realms or ples of Consciousness just before the time of the backward swing of the emotional pendulum thus allowing the reactionary movement to be manifested only on their lower planes the Masters taught that by an understanding of the principle of Rhythm man could Escape many bewildering and perplexing changes in his emotional states and feelings they called this the process of neutralization the

operations Of which consisted of raising the ego above the vibrations of the ordinary conscious plane and onto the higher this was akin to Rising above a thing and allowing the thing to pass beneath one the occult Masters and their Advanced students polarized themselves at the positive pole of a particular emotional state and by a process of refusing or denial they managed to escape the effects of the swing of the emotional pendulum to the negative pole of that Emotion all individuals who have attained any degree of self-mastery really proceed in this same manner though usually unconsciously

and without a true understanding of the law they are operating by refusing to allow their negative mental and emotional states to manifest in them they really neutralize them and cause them to pass under them on a lower plane of consciousness the advanced occultist however proceeds consciously and deliberately to this end And acquires a degree of balance Poise and power almost incredible the further the student penetrates in his investigations along the lines of the physical the mental or the spiritual the more will he become convinced of the truth of the ancient occult Axiom everything beats time

the principle of Cycles manifests that Universal circular direction of process or progress which is apparent in all the manifested world from its highest to its Lowest manifestation the spirit of this principle was expressed in the ancient occult Axiom everything proceeds in circles it is apparent to all careful thinkers and investigators that all progress or procession of things or events follows the path of the circle all things physical mental and spiritual manifest the cyclic or circular Trend world and atoms the cosmos and man all are under this law this principle is Understood more clearly when we

understand that a completed and uninterrupted manifestation of Rhythm results in the completion of a circular movement therefore the circular or cyclic trend of things is really closely Allied to the principle of of Rhythm and both Rhythm and cyclicity are closely Allied to the principle of vibration cyclicity is akin to Rhythm and arises by reason of it all events tend to move in a cyclic Trend in Constant circular movement the law of cyclicity manifests in the Universal tendency of things to swing in circles cyclicity is the outgrowth or more complex form of Rhythm the Primal manifestation

of rhythm is action to and fro in a straight line or path a movement backward and forward between two extremes or poles of action this would be the invariable movement if the particular Force manifested were the only manifestation of force or energy in That particular field of the cosmos but when The Swinging pendulum free to move in any direction is subjected to the conflicting attractions and repulsions of other manifestations of force and energy then there is manifested the universal tendency toward the circular Trend the tendency to convert the straight path of the swing into a

circular path or cycle the action and reaction the attraction and repulsion arising from the conflict Between the force of the rhythmic swing in a straight line on the one hand and the attractive and repellent forces from without on the other hand tend to swing the moving thing in a perfect circle around a central point Axis or pivotal Center and these conflicting forces are in operation throughout the cosmos and the manifestation of cyclicity may be noticed on all planes there is ever the evidence of the cyclic trend of things And events the tendency to move in

circles the electrons in the atoms move in circles just as do the planets around the Sun and just as the sun moves around some other Center in Space the highest occult teaching as well as the highest speculations of science inform us that there is always a movement in circles around some given point and the movement of the said point or Center of motion around some other Center and so on and on to Infinity all events tend to move in cyclic Trend in constant circular movement of continuous recurrence the experience of man aided by the reports

of History be out this statement the student of human history is struck by The Continuous cyclic Trend manifested throughout the ages of History the student of philosophy is attracted by the same evidence in his own field and so it is with every field of human thought the cyclic trend is noticeable Everywhere races and nations rise flourish Decline and fall only to be succeeded by others traveling over the same lines Westward the star of EMP Empire takes its flight the center of political power is constantly changing the civilizations of lamuria Atlantis Egypt Cala Rome and Greece

arose and passed away and so will the current civilization our own civilization is but traveling over the same general lines all forms of political government Monarchic autocratic and Democratic in all their variations were known in the past as in the present the same law is observable in the history of philosophical thought philosophical theories popular in Greece over 2,000 years ago fell into disrepute but are now again forcing their way to the front the scientific theories of causation continuity determinism and evolution were popular in ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago and they were likewise Popular in

ancient Egypt and India centuries before that time fashions in literature dress and manner constantly recur traveling round and round their little circles laugh as we may at the absurdity of fashion in dress nevertheless it is proceeding according to cyclic law religious ideas are as old as the world pantheism polytheism monotheism and Atheism all have played their parts of fashion in religious thought over and over again and will Play them again the present day Revival of interest in the occult teachings arises from from the operations of the same law and the lives of individuals manifest the

same Trend and tendency a little thought will convince you that the majority of people travel in circles throughout their entire lives the same old thing over and over again recurring at intervals of greater or lesser duration according to the nature and character of the person many people are Like the squirrel who travels all day on his whirling wheel always going but getting nowhere ever ending just where he began the thoughtful student considering what has just been called to his attention will naturally ask us how it is if this be so that there is any real

progress at all if says he there is nothing but a continuous running around in circles a constant traveling around without getting anywhere how is it that there is Evident a real progress a real Evolution a real advancement in the scale of life and being the answer is simple given a circular movement around a given point Axis or Center of Attraction and further given an advancing movement of that Center Point or axis it follows that the first circular movement will also be a spiral movement if the central point is Advanced then the circular movement is converted

into a spiral movement and while their persists are going round and Round as before each going round process travels on a slightly higher plane or a more advanced position and this is just what exists in the cosmos a cosmic spiral process onward and upward in advancing and Rising circles an old aphorism of an ancient School of occultism is the only escape from cyclicity is by means of transmutation into spirality by advancing the central point of motion the conversion of the circle into the Spiral is one of the highest forms of alchemy and in this aphorism

is found one of the secrets of Rosicrucianism the rule operates on each and every plane of being physical mental and spiritual the ego May convert the circle of its life motion into an advancing and Rising spiral which while carrying him around the life circle will at the same time raise him a stage higher at each turn the mountain of attainment around which wins the spiral Path is traveled only in this way around and around the pilgrims travel seemingly retra tracing their steps but in reality constantly mounting upward by advancing the Central Point by means of

the will the wise and the strong convert the circles into Spirals and thus advance and attain this indeed as the old aphorism States is one of the highest forms of Mental Alchemy the further the student penetrates in his investigations along The lines of the physical the mental or the spiritual the more will he become convinced of the truth of the ancient occult Axiom that everything proceeds in [Music] circles the principle of polarity manifests that Universal fact of the pairs of opposites or the antinomies which is apparent in all the manifested world from its highest to

its lowest manifestation the spirit of this principle was expressed in the ancient Occult Axiom everything has its opposite which is the other pole of its manifestation the principle of polarity may be stated as follows all phenomena manifest polarity or opposite and contrasted sets of qualities Properties or Powers operating in opposite and contrasted directions the ancient philosophers made this one of the chief features of their teachings under the name of the Opposites the pairs of opposites or the Antinomies according to the usage of the respective schools they held that every phenomenal thing possesses and manifests these

pairs of opposite qualities properties and Powers they also held that each and every set of polarized opposites constitutes a Unity consisting of a Reconciliation and balancing of the opposing poles they also held that every phenomenal thing itself is one of a pair of polarized opposites which together constitute a greater unity and so on Either to infinity or until the Opposites find final reconciliation and Harmony in an infinite reality the simplest and yet the most characteristic of the many examples and illustrations of polarity is seen in the presence and activity of the two opposite and contrasting

poles of the magnet the positive and negative poles the magnet is one a Unity consisting of a balance and a Reconciliation of the two two opposing poles and their respective Activities and Powers the illustration is typical and fully illustrates the general principle we may see evidence of polarity in any direction toward which we may turn in our search there is always an up and a down a top and a bottom a high and a low a right and a left a forward and a backward there is always a past and a future a now and

a then a before and an after a day and a night a Time and an eternity there is always a fast and a slow a motion and a Rest a hot and a cold a good and a bad a light and a dark a conscious and an unconscious an active and an inactive an involution and evolution an analysis and a synthesis a thesis and an antithesis a male and a female a positive and a negative a youth and an age a health and a disease a building up and a tearing down a birth and a

a death a coming and a going a life and a death material and an immaterial a heavy and light an abstract and concrete a long and a short A broad and a narrow a large and a small a north and south an East and a West a love and hate courage and fear faith and doubt a belief and a disbelief a truth and an error and so on at infinitum whenever we see a phenomenal Quality Property or characteristic a state or a condition we are fully justified in assuming the existence of an opposite to it

which opposite thing will be found to act in the opposite and contrasted direction to it this is an Infallible and invariable rule of phenomenal existence in case the opposite of a thing is not known to us because it has not as yet been discovered by or made known to us nevertheless in such case we are fully justified in ascribing to the unknown OPP opposite the qualities and characteristics diametrically opposed to the known opposite the rule is this whatever is affirmed of one of a pair of opposites must be denied to the other And whatever is

denied to the one must be affirmed of the other so true and infallible is this rule that it may be applied and employed as the basis of logical reasoning from the known to the unknown for the purpose of discovering the latter one of the most most surprising features of this discovery is that we finally perceive that the two contrasting sets of qualities are really but two aspects or phases of the whole thing the real thing or thing in itself The unity of the two instead of being two separated and distinct things or stating it in

other words we discover that the two opposing sets of characteristics are merely relative to each other and together form a correlated unity and balance Ed hole as an illustration of the fact just stated we may consider the two opposites known as hot and cold respectively surely there can be no two qualities apparently more distinct and separate from each Other more diametrically different from each other but careful examination shows us that the two contrasting things are really but degrees conditions and states of the same thing there is no such thing as an absolute hot or an

absolute cold there are merely different degrees of this hot cold pair of opposites which for convenience we call heat we cannot point out a place on the thermometer where hot ceases and cold begins or vice versa the two states or conditions blend Into each other and any statement regarding them is found to be merely comparative if we place one hand in a bowl of very hot water and the other in a bowl of ice cold water and then suddenly withdraw both hands and plunge them into a bowl of lukewarm water what happens is simply that

we find that the hot water hand feels a sensation of coolness while the cold water hand feels a sensation of heat each experience resulting from the comparison with the Previous experience we may consider the emotional states of love and hate as another illustration of the same principle surely these two emotions seem irreconcilable and impossible to harmonize but let us see at the one end of the emotional scale of LoveHate we find intense love and then descending on the scale we find varying and gradually lessening degrees of love then we find the balanced point of Indifference

which seems to be neither love nor hate but which in reality is the subtle balancing of the two emotions then descending the scale we find a faint degree of aversion or dislike then a series of grad increasing degrees of dislike until finally real hate is met with and so on until we reach the degree of intense and extreme hate yet all are seen to be but degrees on the same emotional scale of LoveHate sometimes there is a rapid Change and shift on the scale of the Opposites love is quickly transmuted to hate the best friends

and most Ardent lovers become the bitterest enemies and on the other hand person who originally detest each other frequently become Ardent lovers after a time and old enemies when reconciled frequently become the closest friends the swing is often as far in One Direction as was its former swing in the opposite direction up changes to down as The Earth revolves and hot becomes cold when the vibrations are changed this also applies to hard and soft tenuous and solid Etc the conditions depend entirely upon the rate of vibrations and the relative positions of the particles of matter

from which things are composed moreover constant emphasis or activity of one opposite frequently leads to a manifestation of the other opposite we often fly to the Other Extreme of Feeling and action when we have overemphasized the former emotional states we get tired and disgusted with one set or condition of things and feel a desire to fly to the opposite condition or set too much of a good thing often causes us to dislike it likewise if we travel far enough West we finally reach the extreme East and vice versa if we travel far enough North we

pass the pole and find ourselves proceeding South at the North Pole no Matter in what direction we may travel we always find ourselves traveling south while at the South Pole we can travel North only no matter which way we may step out the discovery that opposites are identical in the sense of being but the two contrasting poles of the same thing opens up a wonderful field of Mastery to the occultist who has acquainted himself with the law of polarization in its phases of Transmutation and balance the understanding of the principle of polarity enables the occultist

to transmute one mental state into another along the lines of polarization things belonging to different classes cannot be transmuted into each other but the opposing poles of the same thing may be so changed that is may have a change in their polarity affected and thus be transmuted one into the other thus love can never become East or west or red or Violet but love may be changed into hate or hate Into Love by a shifting of polarity courage may be transmuted into fear or fear into courage hard May be changed into soft dull into Sharp

hot into cold and so on the transmutation always being between things of the same kind the fearful man May shift his polarity and by thus changing his emotional vibrations may become filled with courage likewise the slothful man May shift his polarity into Activity and energetic action the key lies in the fact that in this process of transmutation there is not an actual change of one thing into another distinct thing but rather a shifting of the center of polar force from one extreme of the scale to the other just as one would shift The Carriage of

his typewriter from 1 to 70 or change the focus of an opera glass in addition to the changing of One's Own mental states by the operation of the Art of polarization the principle may be extended so as to embrace the phenomena of the influence of one mind over that of another of which so much has been written and taught in recent years when it is understood that mental induction is possible that is that mental States may be produced by induction from those of other persons then we can see how readily a certain rate of mental

vibrations or polarization of a certain Mental state may be communicated from one person to another and the polarity of the second person be changed accordingly it is along these lines that many excellent results of mental treatment are obtained though the practitioner may not understand the nature of the principle he is using for instance a person is blue Melancholy depressed in spirits and full of fear a mental scientist bringing his own mind up to the desired vibration by means of His own will which thus produces the desired polarization in his own case then by induction communicates

these polarized vibrations to the mind of the patient the result is that the patient's emotional states are converted from from the negative polarization to the positive a knowledge of the existence of this great occult principle will enable the occultist to better understand his own mental States and those of other people he will see that these states are All matters of degree and seeing thus he will be able to raise or lower his mental and emotional vibrations at will to change his mental poles and thus be a master of his emotions instead of being a slave

to them by his knowledge he will be able to Aid his fellow men intelligently and by appropriate methods change their mental and emotional polarization when the same is desirable in concluding our consideration of the principle of Polarity I ask you to study carefully the following words written by one who has knowledge of the great subject of balance the art of which consists in finding the center between the two extremes and thus maintaining a Poise and balance which is undisturbed by any mental or emotional storm Poise is power poise results from balance balance is secured by

adjusting and maintaining the center between the poles of the pairs of Opposites by balanced Poise the master neutralizes polarity and Rhythm by resolving them into unity in the heart of the storm is peace in the center of Life there is Poise and power see seek it ever o neoy for in it Thou shalt find thyself the foregoing sentences compose the substance of an ancient Arcane aphorism in which is contained the seed thought generated in the centuries of thought and experience of the Arcane teachers do not pass it by because of Its Simplicity poised balance is

the aim and goal of the Arcane initiates it is the secret of Mastery there is always a center of everything but the center exists only because of the existence of the circumference there is always a point or Poise between the poles of every pair of opposites but that point exists only because the extremes exist and in the central point is always found the power Of the whole event or thing in the center of gravity of the earth one would be able to remain in a position of perfect Poise unsupported except by the concentrated gravity of

the whole earth so nicely poised that a mere effort of the will would exert sufficient energy to propel him in any desired Direction the power of the Opposites is concentrated at the central point there all power is to be found and there only the Axiom action and reaction are equal Indicates a central point in which lies the true lever which will move the whole at the center one is able to use action and reaction without being subject to either the initiate strives to attain a state of equilibrium and absolute Poise he yearns to master the

art of traversing the razor edge of Life balancing himself perfectly like the trained mental athlete that he is by means of the balancing pole of the Opposites which he Has firmly grasped pitting the Opposites one against the other balancing law by law the master traverses the Slender tight RPP thread that separates the world of Desire from the world of will oh neopit in the center of Life shalt thou indeed find Poise and Power in the heart of the storm shalt thou find peace in the center of the cosmos shalt thou find thyself he who finds

the center of himself finds the center of the cosmos For at the last they are one the student when confronted with questions and problems in which a choice is difficult by by reason of the strong activity of both extremes of polarization of both of the pair of opposites is advised to seek out the center between the two opposing poles and to stand firmly there feeling assured that there and there only is the place of Peace Poise and Power in the one word balance there is To be found the secret of many or most of the

perplexing questions of Life seek ever Poise and balance and you will have power and peace the further the student penetrates in his investigations along the lines of the physical the mental and the spiritual the more he will become convinced of the truth of the ancient occult Axiom that everything has its opposite which is the other pole of its manifestation the principle of sex manifests in the Universal presence of Sex SE distinction and activity which is apparent in all the manifested world from its highest to its lowest manifestations the spirit of this principle was expressed in

the ancient occult Axiom sex is omnipresent and all pervasive in the universe all creation is Generation and all generation proceeds from sex all deep students of occultism and many students of modern science perceive the truth of the rosicrucian ancient Doctrine that sex is all pervasive all present and is the cause of all creation for creation always results from generation and generation proceeds from sex activity there is sex manifested in everything the masculine and feminine principles are ever at work in the universe this is not only on the physical plane of being but also on the

mental and spiritual planes of being on the physical plane sex manifests physic physical generation on the mental plane It manifests in mental generation and on the spiritual plane it manifests spiritual generation an understanding of the cosmic principle of sex will give one a clear insight into many subjects which have proved perplexing to the majority of thinkers we have called your attention to the fact that the activities of the electrons the atoms and the corpuses of which matter is composed are purely sexual activi ities that all attraction Is sex attraction and that as all Cosmic activity

results from attraction therefore sex is the Motive Power behind the activities of the cosmos A careful examination of the discoveries of modern science which are being announced from year to year will convince the student that all are explainable under the rosicrucian theory of the principle of sex and are explainable under no other hypothesis passing on to the plane of Mind we find that many of the discoveries of modern psychology tend to verify the rosac crusan theory also modern psychologists are devoting much time and space to their presentations of the various theories and discussions of that

other mind which they variously call the subjective mind the subconscious mind the subliminal mind Etc in all of their theories however one point stands out prominently I.E the point that this other mind is subject to Stimulating influences from the conscious or objective mind and after being so subjected to the influence of stimulus of the latter the other mind becomes fertile and produces a wealth of ideas thoughts and actions but so far none of the psychologists have even attempted to explain the nature of the influence or stimulus of the one mind upon the other and here

is where the rosicrucian teachings are much needed for the rosicrucian recognizes and Realizes at once the fact that the other mind is feminine and the stimulating mind is masculine and that the process is clearly one of fertilization followed by mental conception and generation so clear is the analogy that one has but to have his attention directed toward it to realize its truth and its proper application to the case before us it is so clear that one on learning it cannot see why the promulgation of the Dual mind theories And their commentators can have failed to

perceive the secret underlying the phenomena discovered by them and embodied in their various theories Thompson J Hudson in his book The Law of psychic phenomena in which in 1893 he announced his celebrated theory of the Dual mind came near to perceiving the secret hidden in the teaching of the ancient occultists but his prejudices caused him to pass it by in his statement at the beginning of the second Chapter of said book he says the Mystic jargon of the Hermetic philosophers discloses the same general idea the general idea of the duality of mind but he failed

to follow up the promising lead and thus lost the opportunity to complete his Discovery or rediscovery for The Duality of the mind's activities has been known to occultists for ages the other mind of the human individual may be regarded as a mental womb in fact the Ancients so styled it In which is generated a wealth of mental Offspring it is a mine of latent possibilities of generation the generation of mental progeny of all sorts and kinds its powers of mental generative energy are enormous but it does not generate except under the stimulus of the conscious

mind of its owner or some other individual the phenomena of suggestion and hypnotism are explainable under the rosicrucian theory of mental sex suggestion and Hypnotism operate in the same way as the masculine principle projecting its vibrations toward the feminine principle in the mind of the other person the latter taking the seed thought and allowing it to develop into maturity when it is born on the plane of Consciousness the masculine principle in the mind of the person giving the suggestion directs a vibratory current toward the feminine principle in the mind of the person who is the

object of The suggestions and the latter accept accepts it according to Natural laws unless the will interposes an objection the seed thought thus lodged in the mind of the other person grows and develops and in time is regarded as the rightful mental offspring of the person whereas it is really like the Cuckoo's egg placed in the nest of the sparrow and like The Offspring of the cuckoo It destroys the rightful offspring of the owner of the nest the proper method is For the masculine and feminine principles in the mind of a person to coordinate and

to act harmoniously in conjunction with each other but unfortunately the masculine principle in the mind of the average person is too lazy to act the activities of the will too slight the consequence being that such persons are ruled almost entirely by the minds and wills of other persons whom they allow to do their thinking and willing for them the majority of persons Are but mere shadows and Echoes of other persons having stronger wills and Minds than themselves the strong men and women of the world invariably manifest the masculine principle of Will and their strength depends

materially upon this fact instead of living by The Impressions made upon their minds by others they dominate their own minds by means of their own will obtaining the kind of thoughts desired and moreover they dominate the minds of others Likewise in the same manner look at the strong people and see how they manag to implant their seed thoughts in the minds of the masses of the people thus causing the latter to think thoughts in accordance with the desires and wills of the strong individuals this is why the masses of the people are such sheeplike creatures

never originating an idea of their own nor using their own powers of mental activity the manifestation of mental sex May be noticed all around us in our daily lives the magnetic persons are those who are able to use the masculine mental principle in the direction of impressing their ideas upon others the actor who makes people weep or cry as he Wills Is employing this principle more or less unconsciously so is the successful orator Statesman preacher writer or other person who is before the public The Peculiar influence exerted by some Persons over others is explainable in

this way the operation of mental sex activity in the form of vibratory mental currents here we may find the secret of personal magnetism personal influence Fascination Etc the principle of sex manifests and operates also on the spiritual plane of being according to its characteristic principles and its results are spiritual generation and regeneration we regret that we are not Permitted to go deeply into this phase of the subject in this book but a detailed consideration of the operation of sex on this High plane would be contrary to the interests of the best in occultism and would

invite a misuse of power on the part of unprincipled persons who fail to understand the evil consequences to themselves coming as a reaction following actions of this kind the true student however by using his power of reasoning by analogy Doubtless will be able to work out some of the problems concerned with the phase of the question thus mentioned will find the secret in the old Axiom As Above So Below as below so above the further the student penetrates in his investigations along the lines of the physical the mental and the spiritual the more he will

become convinced of the truth of the ancient occult Axiom that sex is omnipresent and all pervasive in the universe all Creation is Generation and all generation proceeds from sex the aspirant occultist now equipped with the understanding of these seven rosicrucian principles is ready to apply them practically to daily life this journey of application transforms mere knowledge into experiential wisdom allowing the Seeker to truly embody the ancient truths the principle of Correspondence invites you to observe the microcosm and Macrocosm understanding that the laws governing the smallest atom reflect those of the vast Cosmos use this principle
