IMentalism

The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.

Mind is the first cause; form is the visible consequence.

Keys

  • — Mind precedes form
  • — Attention is a tool
  • — Imagination shapes substance
  • — Clear intent stabilizes

Practice

  • — Observe the quality of your attention before beginning work.
  • — Hold a single image steadily for one minute.
IICorrespondence

As above, so below; as below, so above.

Patterns repeat across scales, and order is echoed in every plane.

Keys

  • — Scale is a mirror
  • — Ratios recur
  • — Analogy reveals law
  • — Unity across levels

Practice

  • — Compare a natural pattern at two scales and note what repeats.
  • — Draw a simple form and enlarge it by a constant ratio.
IIIVibration

Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.

All things are in motion, from the subtle to the dense.

Keys

  • — Motion is universal
  • — Rate defines state
  • — Resonance binds
  • — Harmony clarifies

Practice

  • — Listen for a steady rhythm in a quiet space.
  • — Match your breath to a slow, even cadence.
IVPolarity

Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.

Opposites share one nature, separated by degree.

Keys

  • — Opposites are degrees
  • — Inversion reveals law
  • — Balance is movement
  • — Paradox resolves

Practice

  • — Choose a quality and locate its opposite on a single scale.
  • — Shift your focus gradually between two extremes.
VRhythm

Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.

All motion moves in cycles; balance is restored by return.

Keys

  • — Cycles govern
  • — Return is law
  • — Cadence stabilizes
  • — Timing is power

Practice

  • — Mark a repeating cycle in your day and note its return.
  • — Pause before reversal and observe the shift.
VICause & Effect

Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.

Events are linked by law, even when the link is unseen.

Keys

  • — Law binds events
  • — Chains are layered
  • — Intent seeds outcome
  • — Sequence reveals structure

Practice

  • — Trace one outcome back to three preceding causes.
  • — Choose a small cause and observe its effect.
VIIGender

Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.

Generation arises from the interplay of complementary forces.

Keys

  • — Directive and receptive
  • — Forming and formed
  • — Union generates
  • — Balance creates

Practice

  • — Note where you initiate and where you receive in a process.
  • — Hold a structure and a curve together until they harmonize.
