Fill in the blanks with words or phrases that complete the ideas. "As above, so ____________; as below, so _____________." -- _________________ The second great ________________ Principle embodies the idea that there is a _________________, agreement and ____________________ between the many fields (___________) of manifestation, __________ and being. This is so because all that is in the universe _____________________ from the same source. The same __________, __________________ and characteristics apply to each __________ , or ______________ of units of _____________ as each _________________ its own __________________ in its own field. Note that as you examine the _______________ of ________________, the rate of __________________ expresses the ___________ or __________ of that field. It is a well-known fact of ___________ __________________ that everything is in ______________; everything ___________________; nothing is at rest. From the _____________ manifestation to the ___________ , everything and _____________ ____________________ vibrate. Not only do they vibrate at different rates of ____________ but in different ______________ and in ________________ manners. The _____________ of the __________ of vibration _____________ the degrees of ________________ on the scale in the fields. These degrees form levels. The higher the degree of ____________________ rate, the higher the level, and the higher the _______________________ of life occupying that level. The lowest point is _________________________ matter and the highest point is that of _____________ . The different _____________ shade into each other so that no hard and fast division may be made between the ___________________ on adjoining levels. The atom of matter, the ____________ of force, the mind of the ___________, and the being of the _____________ are all but _____________ in one scale. All are fundamentally the same, the difference depends solely upon the degree and rate of vibration. All are creations of _______________, and have their ___________ solely within the Infinite Mind of ______________. Many of these ___________, as well as the ____________ host take the greatest interest in the affairs of the universe and PLAY an important part in its destiny. These unseen ______________ and angelic _____________ extend their __________ freely and powerfully in the process of __________ and __________ progress. Known as the Summa ______________ they have ________________ their __________________ and _________ upon the _____________, again and again, all under the Law of _____________, of course. Their occasional ________________ and assistance in the affairs of ______________ have led to the many legends, beliefs, __________________ and traditions of the race, past and present. The Principle of ____________________ manifests in everything, for there is a _______________, harmony and __________________ between the many levels. The Principle of ___________ manifests on all levels. In fact the very vibratory composition of matter and energy defines its level or field of existence. The Principle of _________________ is also operational throughout the cosmos, the extremes of the opposing points being apparently opposite and contradictory. The Principle of _____________ can be seen in the movement of phenomena having its ebb and flow, rise and fall, incoming and outgoing. The Principle of ___________ _________ ____________ is constant; every effect having its inescapable cause and every cause having its effect. Lastly the Principle of _____________ manifests on each level, operating along the lines of its masculine and feminine aspects.
