The Principle of Mentalism
The world is mental. Consciousness precedes material. Action is preceded by desireAction is preceded by desire
This is perhaps a contentious statement to some philosophers, but that contention comes from the fuzzy definition of desire. When I talk about Desires in this case- I am simply stating that bef... .
The ALL… May be thought of as an universal, infinite, living mind.

The Principle of Correspondence
There is always a correspondence between the laws and phenomena on the various planes of existence. This means that we can reason about the phenomena of higher planes by making observations on our planes. The macrocosm is like the microcosm. We can reason that the realm of the spirit behaves similar to the realm of the material. The relationship of cells within the body is like the relationship of bodies within a city… etc
This seems to imply that our understanding of physics will probably need to shift so that we can see relationships between the quantum and the macro
This principle has been summarized in the axiom As Above, So below- As below, so aboveAs Above, So below- As below, so above
Refers to the principle of correspondence from The Seven Hermetic Principles
This principle was first mentioned on The Emerald Tablet an ancient hermetic text
The microcosm reflects the m...
The Principle of Vibration
Everything is in motion- everything vibrates.
I believe what this is getting at is that ultimately all of reality exists like light photons in a wave-particle duality. There is no finite point only frequencies of vibrations that intermingle.
Matter is just the spectrum of energetic vibration that is tangible to the mundane sensesMatter is just the spectrum of energetic vibration that is tangible to the mundane senses

Not just matter but All exists... , All exists on a spectrum of vibrationAll exists on a spectrum of vibration
All things which exist- the material universes, the archetypal worlds, the Godhead - all exist on a spectrum of vibration. This is affirmed by the Principle of Vibration of the The Seven Herm...
This is supported by my vision of existing along an infinite thread that stretches from the unity into dispersion.
The Principle of Polarity

All things exist on a spectrum between two opposites.
Thesis and antithesis are identical in nature but different in degree.
This means that opposites are indeed the same thing just different ...
The Principle of Rhythm
High tide/low tide. Seasons. etc… All things change on a slower pattern. Masters should strive to not swing in seasons, but minimize their own rhythm. This is similar to what I was discussing when I said Magic is the art of making a true DecisionMagic is the art of making a true Decision
…I think what I am mainly saying is that if you want something, then all you need to do is decide to have it or do it- the ritual is just symbolic of that decision - not causal

All actions have a reaction.
The Principle of Gender

Many magical and occult texts and teachings involve references to gender from ancient times into the present. This gender I think is a poor naming convention because I think it distracts much of th...
