THE SEVEN HERMETIC PRINCIPLES
The principles of truth are seven; the seven hermetic principals, upon which the entire Hermetic philosophy is based, are as follows:
1.The Principle of mentalism: "The All is mind, the Universe is mental."
2.The Principle of correspondence: "As above, so below; as below, so above."
3.The principle of vibration: "Nothing rests, everything moves; everything vibrates."
4.The principal of polarity: "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are all the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."
5.The principle of rhythm: "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."
6.The principle of cause and 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."
7.The principal of Gender: "Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principle; Gender manifests on all planes."
