How The Universe Works: The Principle of Rhythm

Imagem
  In our series of studies on the Hermetic Principles described in the book The Kybalion (Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece) , we arrive at the fifth Principle, the Principle of Rhythm. This Principle teaches 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." We have already learned in the Principle of Polarity that everything comes in pairs, everything has two poles. Rhythm adds that everything manifests itself in a proportional movement between these two poles, a swing backward and forward. Imagem From If we have a high tide, we have a low tide; if we have a flow, we have an inflow; if we have birth, we have death; if something "goes", that something also "comes". But the interesting thing here is to understand that this Principle does not say th...

How The Universe Works: The Principle of Polarity

In this fourth article in our series on the 7 Hermetic Principles (1-Mentalism, 2-Correspondence and 3-Vibration) described in the book The Kybalion, we arrive at the Principle of Polarity that teaches us: "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" In order to understand this principle, let's start by looking at Love and Hate. Answer me: Do you love some people? Do you like some people? Do you like some people just a little bit? Are there people you neither like nor dislike? Are there people you don't like very much? Are there people you hate (who has never seen a movie, series or reality show and felt hatred for someone)? Do you realize that Love and Hate are polarities of the same energy that only vary in intensity and direction ("up" you go towards lo...

How The Universe Works: The Principle of Vibration

  Continuing our series on the 7 Hermetic Principles, we arrive at the third principle, the Principle of Vibration. This principle teaches us that "Nothing rests; everything moves, everything vibrates" To understand better, let's do an exercise: look at anything around you that you consider to be still, motionless. You may, for example, have looked at a table. It is there, visually standing in its corner. But what makes up a table? Wood, metal, plastic? And what makes up wood, metal and plastic? Zooming in closer and closer, you end up arriving at molecules created by a cluster of atoms that are vibrating at a specific frequency for the wood. A cluster of atoms vibrating at another frequency specific to metal, plastic, etc. Molecules Also, this table is on the floor over the ground. This ground is on our planet Earth. The Earth is rotating around itself. The Earth is also moving around the sun, which is moving in our galaxy, which is moving in space, and so on (in additio...

How The Universe Works: The Principle of Correspondence

  In this second post about the Hermetic Principles (the first is the Principle of Mentalism ), we will talk about the Principle of Correspondence which explains the following: "As above, so below; as below, so above." Above? Below? Of what? When we talk about above and below, we are talking about vibration frequency ranges. For example, the color Red is in a frequency range between 405 and 480(THz). Orange is between 480 and 510 (THz). Yellow between 510 and 530(THz) and so on. So what is more subtle (invisible to our eyes) has a higher (above) frequency and what is denser (closer to matter, more visible to our eyes) has a lower (below) frequency. But this does not mean that one is better than the other, it just means that each manifestation occurs according to its frequency. In Hermeticism it is understood that we live on 3 different planes of manifestation (this division was made for a rational understanding, not that there is a physical barrier that divides the planes)...

How The Universe Works: The Principle of Mentalism

Hello! My name is Ricardo Tinti, I work with Spiritualist Psychoanalysis and Humanoterapeuta (Energy and Spiritual Healing Treatment). This is the 1st in a series of 7 articles on the Hermetic Principles. What Are The 7 Hermetic Principles? There are 7 precepts brought by Hermes Trismegistus in Ancient Egypt about the functioning of the Universe (Spiritual/Mental/Physical). These are the teachings that Alchemists of the Middle Ages relied on to perform their internal alchemy disguised as chemistry to avoid religious persecution and which today is the basis for much of Holistic thinking.  The Kybalion  is the most famous book today that contains these principles. I bring this series not to convince the reader, but so that they see these principles as hypotheses and analyze their applications (after the 3rd principle it becomes easier =) Let's go? The first of these 7 principles is the Principle of Mentalism: "The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental" What would be The All? ...
