"The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of
Understanding."
"The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these,
understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the
Doors of the Temple fly open."
Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted from state
to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole;
vibration to vibration. True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental
Art."
"Under, and back of, the Universe of Time, Space and Change, is
ever to be found The Substantial Reality -the Fundamental
Truth."
"The Universe is Mental - held in the Mind of THE
ALL."
"The half-wise, recognizing the comparative unreality of the
Universe, imagine that they may defy its Laws-such are vain and
presumptuous fools, and they are broken against the rocks and torn
asunder by the elements by reason of their
folly.”
While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in All.
To him who truly understands this truth hath come great
knowledge."
"As above, so below; as below, so above."
"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything
vibrates."
"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."
"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."
'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."
"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine
Principles; Gender manifests on planes.”
The student of the Hermetic Philosophy is tempted to smile when he
reads and hears of these many "new theories" regarding the duality
of mind, each school adhering tenaciously to its own pet theories,
and each claiming to have "discovered the truth." The student turns
back the pages of occult history, and away back in the dim
beginnings of occult teachings he finds references to the ancient
doctrine of the Principle of Gender on the Mental Plane-the
manifestation of Mental Gender.
"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation
and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals-a
vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like Wealth, is intended for
Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by
reason of his conflict with natural
forces."
