there are two sides to everything. Things that appear as opposites are in fact
only two extremes of the same thing. For instance, heat and cold may appear
to be opposites at first glance, but in truth they are simply varying degrees of
the same thing. The same applies to love and hate, peace and war, positive
and negative, good and evil, yes and no, light and darkness, energy and
matter. You can transform your thoughts from hate to love, from fear to
courage by consciously raising your vibrations. This is what in the ancient
Hermetic Teachings is called the Art of Polarization.
Rising Above the Law of Polarity: This Principle of Duality may appear to
be very real in your life but it operates only in the physical and mental
realms, not in the spiritual realm where All is One. As it says in the
Bhagavad-Gita, "God is Above the Opposites". By always placing the allpowerful, all-knowing Great Spirit of which you are a part behind your
every thought, statement and action, and by always focusing on the "good",
even when things appear to be going "bad", then in time you will rise above
the Law of Polarity.
5. The Law of Rhythm (Mutable): The fifth of the seven Universal Laws
tells us that "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." It is the second of the mutable or transcendable Universal
Laws and means that the pendulum swings in everything. This principle can
be seen in operation in the waves of the ocean, in the rise and fall of the
greatest empires, in business cycles, in the swaying of your thoughts from
being positive to negative and in your personal successes and failures. In
accordance with this Law, when anything reaches a point of culmination
then the backward swing begins almost unnoticeably until such time that any
forward movement has been totally reversed, then the forward movement
begins again and the process is repeated.
Rising Above the Law of Rhythm: To transcend the swing of the pendulum,
you must become aware of the subtle start of the backward movement in any
of your endeavours whether it be to improve your health, your finances, your
relationships or any goal you may set in motion. When you feel the Law
start to draw you back do not become fearful or discouraged. Instead,
knowing that you are one with the Omnipotent Universal Mind for which
nothing is impossible, keep your thoughts focused on your outcome and
fight to remain positive no matter how far back this transitory Law pulls
you. Even if your efforts meet with failure, find comfort that by virtue of this
very same Law, the upward motion must start again. In time, your
perseverance will be rewarded as the backward movements become less
negative relative to your previous backward swings and you raise yourself
higher.
6. The Law of Cause and Effect (Mutable): The sixth of the seven Universal
Laws tells us that "Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause." In
accordance with this Law, every effect you see in your outside or physical
world has a very specific cause which has its origin in your inner or mental
world. This is the essence of thought power. Every one of your thoughts,
words or actions sets a specific effect in motion which will come to
materialize over time. To become the master of your destiny, you must
master your mind for everything in your reality is a mental creation. Know
that there is nothing like chance or luck. They are simply terms used by
humanity in ignorance of this Law.
Your Intentions are Instantly Created: The Law of Cause and Effect applies
on all three planes of existence - the spiritual, the mental and the physical.
The difference is that on the spiritual plane cause and effect are
instantaneous such that they appear inseparable, whereas on the other planes
our concept of time and space creates a time lag between the cause and the
eventual effect. Know that when you focus on your chosen goals with
intention using creative visualization, that which you want to create in the
physical world is automatically manifested in the spiritual world, and with
perseverance, practice and continued concentrated thought, it will also come
to materialize in the physical world.
7. The Law of Gender: The last of the seven Universal Laws tells us that
"Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine
principles". This mutable Universal Law is evident throughout creation in
the so-called opposite sexes found not only in human beings but also in
plants, minerals, electrons and magnetic poles to name but a few. Everything
and everyone contains both masculine and feminine elements. Among the
outward expressions of feminine qualities are love, patience, intuition and
gentleness and of masculine qualities are energy, self reliance, logic and
intellect. Know that within every woman lie all the latent qualities of a man,
and within every man those of a woman. When you know this you will know
what it means to be complete.
The Law of Attraction as Part of the Equation: You will notice that the Law
of Attraction is not specifically mentioned as one of the seven Universal
Laws. This is not to diminish its importance but rather to highlight it because
the Law of Attraction is the basic Law of the Universe which runs through
all the seven Universal Laws discussed here. It holds everything together. It
is through the knowledge of the Law of Attraction that one can rise above
the mutable Laws of Polarity and Rhythm and gain a better understanding of
each of the seven Universal Laws.
Credit to The Science of Being and The Kybalion: This article draws largely
on two sources of incomparable wisdom on the seven Universal Laws. First,
on the Baron Eugene Fersen's 1923 masterpiece, The Science of Being,
which is one of most comprehensive books ever written on the innate power
of humanity, the subject of metaphysics and self-mastery; and second, on the
1908 seminal work on the Universal Principles, namely The Kybalion,
which is a study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece,
itself based on the mystical teachings of Hermes Trismegistus and written by
the so-called Three Initiates.
"The Principles of the Truth are Seven; he who knows these,
understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors
of the Temple fly open" - The Kybalion
There are seven major Universal Laws by which the entire Universe is
governed - three are immutable, eternal Laws and four are transitory,
mutable Laws. As stated in the Kybalion "the Universe exists by virtue of
these Laws, which form its framework and which hold it together." Knowing
these Universal Laws and the basic Law of Attraction, and learning how to
transcend the mutable Laws, is fundamental to changing the circumstances
of your life so that you can consciously create your intended reality and
achieve true mastery.
