Seven Key Principles

The following are excerpted from The Hermetic Kybalion ~ g

I. The Principle of Mentalism

"The ALL is Mind; The Universe is Mental."

II. The Principle of Correspondence

"As above, so below; as below, so above."

III. The Principle of Vibration

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."

IV. The 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."

V. 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."

VI. 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."

VII. The Principle of Gender

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes."

These are seven very important principles. They are explained in further detail in the above link. It would be helpful for the Seeker to understand these principles. Here is a bit from the section on the Principle of Vibration:

"This Principle explains that the differences between different manifestations of Matter, Energy, Mind, and even Spirit, result largely from varying rates of Vibration. From THE ALL, which is Pure Spirit, down to the grossest form of Matter, all is in vibration–the higher the vibration, the higher the position in the scale. The vibration of Spirit is at such an infinite rate of intensity and rapidity that it is practically at rest–just as a rapidly moving wheel seems to be motionless. And at the other end of the scale, there are gross forms of matter whose vibrations are so low as to seem at rest. Between these poles, there are millions upon millions of varying degrees of vibration."
