Many of the basic concepts of the Kabalarian Philosophy are covered. 2. The Principle of Life Excerpt from © Kabalarian Writings ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Kabalarian Philosophy often speaks of the Principle of Life. To many people, life is the magnificent expression of an omnipotent power. We look at life as the expression of something beyond our full comprehension, but sufficiently within our grasp of understanding for us to appreciate that life is the manifestation or expression of a completeness. Life is not a whim, but is the result of an expression of intelligence and the unfoldment of the plan of the reality of being. Life is not a created expression where Earth was made by God in six days and on the seventh day he rested. The Principle of Life includes the expression of everything: the whole universe. The whole universe in its vastness, its unknown expression, is the manifestation of a law, an immutable unfoldment of actions that follows definite procedures or patterns. Life is a principle and not something that is evolutionary. The Principle of Life is not changeable by the whim of thought of this one or that one. There would be no consistency, no continuity, no logic, no intelligence to life. Intelligence is relative to a pattern of unfoldment or a pattern of consistent reason and relativity of logic and order and system. The Principle of Life is the unfoldment of greater intelligence and unfolds in a systematic way relative to the law of growth and unfoldment. 3. Unknowable and Knowable Excerpt from © Kabalarian Writings ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Principle of Life includes both the unknowable and the knowable. We might ask, "If it is unknowable, how can we possibly say there is anything to it? Is there any principle to it?" Quite often we deal with form when form is only part of the factor at hand. For instance, if we pick up a little package of seeds, we see the shells of the seeds, but the part that is not known is the power within the seeds. However, it requires the power in the seeds plus the seeds to make the plants grow. If we look at an electrical wire, we do not know whether it is hot or not until we use a meter or instrument or touch it, causing our hair to stand on end. There is an unknowable aspect to electrical power because it is beyond the visual senses until it makes a meter needle move or is felt as a shock. Similarly, there is the unknowable aspect of life which is part of the overall completeness of life. What is the seed without the power? What is the electrical wire without a current to flow through it? What good is form or materiality without a reason behind it, without a purpose to it, without a greater potential to it? The Principle of Life in the Kabalarian concept is the total encompassing concept of the unknowable, which is beyond our immediate comprehension and what we can readily see or ultimately may perceive--be it a distant galaxy or a new energy from molecular power. The Principle of Life is everything combined into one package of invisible and visible, unknowable and knowable. 4. Duality of Being Excerpt from © Kabalarian Writings ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To explain the Principle of Life, we use the term "duality of being". Duality is the higher and lower, the opposites, the cause of life expressing and life itself. Duality allows us to think of the Principle of Life as a two-part expression. One part is the invisible, unknowable, and the other is the knowable or the visible. We refer to the duality of being in many different terms-- positive and negative, reason and reality, cause and effect. These are further definitions of the duality of being in an attempt to explain the unknowable and the knowable and to define the upper and lower halves of a circle that represent the entire encompassing Principle of Life. When we refer to the top or bottom, we begin to bring the whole into finer shades of understanding or measurement. The duality of being refers to the higher, the unknowable, the intelligent aspect of the Principle of Life, and the lower, representing the intelligence in definable form. 5. Use Cycles to Plan with Confidence ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time and Life are Synonymous © Alfred J. Parker Every day, month, and year, the human mind is supposed to grow, and unfold new ideas and new activities. Everyone should have a specific purpose and goal, the activities of which evolve according to his or her cycle, just as does the plant. Time and life are synonymous. All life manifests within time, it being the gradations or steps and the measuring stick of the growth of human mind which is supposed to fill the ages with a specific intelligence relative to that age. No matter what you start to do, you invoke the law of cycles, even in the smallest undertakings; and from the outset, all the actions, experiences, and gradual completion have their own specific mathematical gradations of time, each relative to the type of experience. 2004 represent a potential of time to be used constructively.

Your Questions Our Answers ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C.L. asked: What is the Kabalarian definition of mind. Mind is everything about us that is non-physical: memory and our identity as a human being, feelings and desires, likes and dislikes, urges and ambitions, will power and determination, personality and behaviour, but, most important, the uniquely human ability to think, which is based upon the understanding and use of the symbols of language and mathematics. Mind is created through the use of language in the form of an identifying name. Through language mind becomes the channel of consciousness, thereby completing thecircle of life. Through consciousness, the reason behind life, its purpose and potential, becomes a knowable reality. Without mind, the conscious awareness of life would be held in abeyance, leaving the world without form, and void.

Quote of the Month - Epictetus ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and cannot control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness becomes possible. 11.
