• Principle of Mentalism
  • “THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental.”
• Principle of Correspondence
  • “As above, so below; as below, so above.”
• Principle of Vibration
  • “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
• Principle of 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.”
• 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.”
• 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.”
• Principle of Gender
  • “Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.”
