The Laws of Polarity and Life

   There is an internal and external aspect to every created thing. There is more to everything than meets the naked eye. You cannot know anything that you do not examine and understand from inside and outside.

   Much of your difficulties and confusion come from your habit of accepting the externals of a thing as the true and absolute reality of that thing. Your refusal to go deeper into the thing to discover the internals of the thing causes you to remain ignorant of the true nature of the thing.

   The Law of Polarity teaches that there is always an opposite to everything: if there is an outside, there must of necessity be an inside. If there is a right, there must be a left. When you look at yourself and others only from the externals, you miss the substance of yourself and others that exists in the internals.

   Only by combining the external and internal of a thing can you learn the Truth of that thing. To learn the Truth of a thing is to Know the thing.

   So long as you focus simply on the appearance (external) of a thing, you can never make any progress in knowing anything. When you persist in viewing life and the things you encounter in life from a superficial (external) point of view, then you are making it impossible for yoursef to grow. You are denying the principle of growth that is the root of all life—whether spiritual, intellectual, or material.

   What you see as the external part of things can only be the result of a reproductive principle hidden deep within the internal part of the things themselves.    

   The Law of Life teaches that all growth occurs from internal expansion at the center of things. This is the great principle that is the key to your understanding of life—on any plane and in any dimension. It is the key that opens the outer to the inner.

   Once the door to your understanding of the working of the Law of Life has been opened to you, then you are obligated to share with others that there is an inside and an outside to everything. Your life will become fuller and richer to the extent that you penetrate to the inner side of things and add to your learning the invisible essence of the thing from inside to the visible manifestation of that essence which is outside.

   Then and only then will you know the Truth of the thing, and that Truth will set you free to examine all things from inside and outside.

   Armed with this knowledge, you will come to see that everything is a symbol of that which is its inner being. All of Nature is a mysterious gallery of symbols that reveal great truths to those who have disciplined themselves to decipher them.

   Symbols are used to represent the nature and being of God. They are used again to speak of how human life is related to Divine Life. The entire character of your life is the result of what you genuinely believe about God and your relationship to Him.
