V. The Principle of Rhythm
15 "Everything flows out and in; everything has its season; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing expresses itself in everything;
the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates." -- Summum
16 This Principle embodies the idea that in everything there exists a measured motion to and fro;
an outflow and inflow; a swing backward and forward; a pendulum like movement; a tide like ebb and flow;
a high tide and a low tide. All things "come in and out of bond" between the two opposing points which exist in accordance with the Principle of Opposition described previously.
There is always an action and a reaction; an advance and a retreat; a rising and a sinking.
This is in the affairs of the universe, suns, worlds, humankind, animals, mind, energy, and matter. This law is established in the creation and destruction of worlds; in the rise and fall of nations; and finally in the mental states of humans.
The students that realize this Principle find its universal application and discover the means to overcome its effect upon themselves.
They apply the mental Law of Neutralization.
They cannot annul the Principle or cause it to cease its operation.
They do not escape the effect the Principle will have on them at one level, but they have learned how to escape its effects upon themselves to a certain degree.
They have learned how to USE it, instead of being USED BY it.
In this and similar methods consist the art of the masters.
The masters immerse themselves at the point at which they desire to rest, and then neutralize the rhythmic swing of the pendulum which wants to carry them to the opposite point.
All individuals who have attained any degree of self mastery do this naturally, more or less unconsciously, but the masters do this consciously by the use of their Will.
They attain a degree of poise and mental firmness beyond belief of the masses who are swung backward and forward on the pendulum of Opposition.

"I am in the blessed place of the Holy Land and thou art in foreign parts and I do not see thee with my material eyes, but I see thee with the eyes of my heart and I remember thee in recalling to thee that which the Christ promised to the believers, the great blessing and favor, the light of which illuminates those present and those absent."

It is said the eyes are the window to the soul,
it is my personal belief, and i have seen it with my very own eyes,
If you SEE eternal life, it shows up in your eyes.
IT IS SEEN.....
You can be 100 years old or 25 years old.
The beauty is in the eyes, makes no difference the age.
It don't matter about the money, the wrinkles, or the flab either

We are timeless, ageless, beingness.

FIRST RATE INTELLIGENCE

THIS is ONE creation.
Creation is every-thing all at once. ONE WITHOUT A SECOND
Mother Earth Gaia, .. SHE has given US so much, it's embarrassingly abundant her bounty and beauty.

EARTH this awesome paradise. [Our Original Mother]
Your Physical mother is not your mother.

Paradise is at the feet of mothers.



We are what we only pretend to be. So we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ~ Kurt Vonnegut

"The secret of man/woman's being is not only to live but to Have Something To Live For." ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

The earth is spinning at 65,000 miles an hour, although we don't feel this.

This is because the atoms that make up our body are the same atoms that make up the earth.
No-'thing' is separate,every-'thing' is interconnected.
All movement therefore is illusional, movement is only apparent,
and it is not going anywhere, there is nowhere for it to go.

It is nowhere and everywhere all at once. [ NOW_HERE ]

The centre of the earth is motionless, like the centre of a wheel looks stationary while the outer spokes are rotating around the axle, but going nowhere.

We are both Motion and Motionless we are the essential eternal absolute,
The motion within/without the motionless is the relative aspect of the absolute,
It is a 'self referential' awareness, consciousness / witness of the movement of ITself.

It moves via desire and will of intent.
A constant vibration.

I could be wrong though.
As I have made that story up.

Are you familiar with the Apology of Socrates?

The one's who dance are thought insane by those who do not even hear the music.

Originally Posted by neutralino Oh, I'm sure he's extremely happy, sitting on the street, begging for money, and sleeping in a box in the rain, with no family or friends to care about him. Come on, get in the real world, melanie. This is nonsense, at best.

The Divine Physician cures all myopic astigmatisms.

When I look deeply into the eye's of anyone, I see Buddha.

Such centering of one's sight affords one the vision of a Seer.

You can't buy "That" in a store.
