The Seven Hermetic Principles

       The Seven Hermetic Principles: MENTALISM, CORRESPONDENCE, VIBRATION, POLARITY, RHYTHM, CAUSE and EFFECT, GENDER.   MENTALISM: “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental”. CORRESPONDENCE: “As above, so below; as below, so above”. VIBRATION: ” Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates”. POLARITY: “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”. RHTYHM: ” 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”. CAUSE and EFFECT: ” Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to the Law; chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law”. GENDER: ” Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine principle; Gender manifests on all planes”.
” The Principles of 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
