The Fourth Hermetic Legality

„The Law of Polarity“

 

 

If someone asks me what my favorite Hermetic Law is, I have to say with a sincere heart: "I have two Hermetic Legalities that I think are great." One is "The Law of Polarity" an the second is the "The Law of Gender". Where the fourth Hermetic Law is so beautifully reflected in the principle Dao, I believe the seventh Hermetic Law is adept at bringing peace and tranquility in many contexts. How? I will communicate this to you when I write for you about “The Seventh Hermetic Legality”. Now I want to address “The Law of Polarity". Are you still provided with everything? Or do you need drinks and co? You already know what's coming ... the saying about the kitchen and such :-).

 

At the beginning of this writing I told you a little bit about the principle "Dao", which belongs to the philosophy of Daoism. The Dao is that which cannot be described, for which there are basically no words. One can only feel the Dao. Feel what constitutes this wholeness of the cosmic principle of a composition of energy, spirituality, and visible matter. In Daoism the polarity of the cosmos and all things plays a role. “Feminine” is assigned to the minus pole and “male” is assigned to the plus pole. In my world, despite all my love for the principle of Dao and the philosophy of Daoism, I keep this assignment at a distance. I don't conform to this attribution because - when I feel into it - I perceive it to be a principle established by patriarchs. I want to “lose” two or three sentences. It's my point of view (and I come in peace. My "view of things" has no claim to be universally valid). I'm now going into the cosmic shamanic context and maybe it will be more, than three sentences :-). In the hermetic principle - according to the Seventh Hermetic Legality - we assume, that "everything carries both female quality and male quality in itself". Depending on the role and polarity, an individual energy then appears in a physical body assigned to femininity, or in a physical body assigned to masculinity. I now go to the beginning of the time when Mother Earth was created and - without human population - was in her prime. Mother Earth is natively spiritual in nature because on the one hand, she is a creation of the Cosmic Universe. And on the other hand, at the beginning of its conception it was only an intention of the cosmic nature - pure energy. Through various processes which are chemical - physical – crystalline, in nature, it has evolved and has become this dreamlike planet. Mother Earth is a giving planet. She gives her resources freely. In her planetary system she has - among other things - a fantastically functioning Sun and an unbelievable Moon, in her team. Mother Earth is a warm planet. She is fertile, she is: Giving birth! She has created an unbelievably fertile potential in herself. As a female aspected planet she gives birth to a fantastic nature. It offers living space and food to human beings and fellow creatures. Mother Earth is a female aspected planetary being. The primal principle of this planet and the energy that works through it is - primarily female. At some point in the course of human evolution, this principle was reversed. The masculine energies took control of planet Earth and undermined the importance of the feminine - the birthgiver - the Holy Grail!

 

Around here the curve for polarity in the hermetic - in order to get the law - I want to put my opinion in here. It works like this :-): All of the characteristics that Mother Earth unites - not only in the cosmic shamanic context - that make her up are: Sun - warmth - giving birth - potency. Their quality and emphasis is clearly of a female nature. If we go by the formulation in Daoism - referring to the qualities of the minus pole, associated with the Moon and the "feminine" and the plus pole, associated with the Sun and the "masculine" - Mother Earth predominantly unites "sunny " characteristics. The Sun is hot, makes life possible, and makes fertility possible. And if we visualize how the strengths of men and women are in general - and if we recall who carries life, who gives birth, who (as society expects) gives himself to the family - one may (as I also do) consider this assignment of the qualities of "female" and "male" to the polarities, at least from a distance. In order to come back to the principle "Dao", I now want to come thematically to the Cosmic Universe. In Daoism everything is polarized. This principle is reflected among other things in the context of "Yin and Yang". The hermetic space Cosmic Universe is a vast magnetic field, in which there are self-sufficient magnetic fields, by means of the various planetary systems, star systems, huge galaxies, gives. The huge magnetic field of the Cosmic Universe has a gigantic minus pole and a corresponding plus pole. The magnetic field of the Sacred Infinite Source of Creation also has a positive and negative polarity. Everything that comes from the Cosmic Universe is polarized. There is no exception to this principle. It's not just this story of "the macrocosm in the microcosm and the microcosm in the macrocosm". For all individual energies the Cosmic Universe is mother and father because everything that is individual-energetically on the move in the Cosmic Universe, is created in that hermetic space. One such principle is that, which you physically hold when you are born the child of your earthly father and mother. Depending on your individual energy, you can only be what your parents are. Apart from the fact that you energetically carry an inner father and an inner mother within you - which is not my intended topic in this context - you carry the cell quality of your mother within you and you carry genetic information from your father within you. Your spirit is connected to the spirit of that family, into which you have incarnated. This makes you a member of the ancestral line of your family of origin. You are what you came into being from, you are that kind and you function like what you came from: Your parents. They carry a physical body with certain attributes and are latched into a family spirit - all THAT are YOU as well. That's exactly how it is for you in the context of "you and the Cosmic Universe". In your native form as individual energy, you are polarized by means of the minus pole and plus pole. This is how you keep yourself balanced and able to communicate in the Cosmic Universe, or in that planetary system in which you are currently traveling. Your polarity, which depends on various factors, causes what you resonate with and what attracts you. And vice versa - who or what resonates with you and is attracted, or repelled by you. If you are in the role of a human being on planet Earth to have a spiritual experience, you can only influence your polarity latently. Yes you have always anchored your minus pole and your plus pole in you. However, they are not static but changeable in their quality and strength. You are traveling with a soul plan. This implies that you do some situations in a certain state, that you are connected to certain other energies or events, resonate you feel attracted to, or repelled by this-that.

 

So there are long stretches on your life path, where you cannot influence your polarity because you need this or that condition for your experience. Poles attract and poles repel. That's a very simple story. What you can temporarily influence, is the constitution of your energy - and as a result your vibration as well as the frequency on which you communicate. Or as well by means of which you communicate. But I have told you in detail about vibration and communication. In the sum of the whole, polarity plays a massive role for you as an individual energy - even if you are traveling in a physical motorhome. Why? Because polarity is your nature and you move in a magnetic field. Always! No matter where you are in the Cosmic Universe - polarity is one of your native attributes. It doesn't matter, whether you travel through the Cosmic Universe purely energetically or treat yourself to the experience in a planetary system like planet Earth, in whatever form. In the next chapter I describe to you the Fifth Hermetic Legality "The Law of Rhythm". I still remember how it felt to me, when I wrote about this Fifth Hermetic Legality for the first time - I wasn't in the mood for this "rhythm theme". I found it bland and wasn't sure if there were more than five sentences to get around". Let's see what flows out of the pen now. If you like, please read along :-).
