answers, gives you a comprehension of the primary points of the chapter in the text. Fill in the blanks with words or phrases that complete the ideas. "The Principles of knowing __________________ are Seven; those who know these possess the _____________ ___________ to whose touch all locked Doors open to __________________." -- Summum These seven great Principles will be discussed and explained at length in this work. A short explanation of each, however, will be given at this point, for all the ______________ of Summum have an _________________________ with each other. "SUMMUM is MIND; the universe is a ____________________ creation." This first great Principle embodies the idea that "All is ________________." This living ____________ performs gastrulation, which is a turning of itself inside out, manifesting its esoteric NATURE outwardly. Therefore, all the phenomenal worlds and universes are simply a _______________ ________________ of SUMMUM (MIND) subject to the laws of created things, and the universes, as a whole, and in their parts or units, have their existence in the Mind of ________________________. "As above, so below; as below, so ____________________." -- Summum Just as a knowledge of the principles of geometry empowers the astronomer to measure distant suns and their movements while seated in an observatory, a knowledge of the Principles of Correspondence empowers you to reason intelligently from the known to the ___________________. "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything __________________." -- Summum This Principle embodies the idea that everything is in motion; everything _________________; nothing is at rest; facts which science endorses and which each new scientific discovery tends to verify. "Everything is dual; everything has an opposing point; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are ______________ in nature, but different in degree; extremes bond; all truths are but _________________ truths; all paradoxes may be __________________." -- Summum It explains that in everything there are two opposing points or opposite ________________(complementarity), and that opposites are really only the two extremes of the ______________ event, with many _____________ degrees between them. To illustrate, "hot and cold," although opposites, are really the same ___________________, the differences consisting merely of degrees of the same "______________." "Everything flows out and in; everything has its season; all things rise and _____________________; the pendulum swing expresses itself in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the ________________; rhythm _____________________." -- Summum All things "come in and out of _____________" between the two opposing points which exist in accordance with the Principle of Opposition described previously. There is always an action and a ______________; an ______________ and a retreat; a rising and a ________________. This is in the affairs of the ________________, suns, worlds, _______________, animals, mind,_____________, and matter. "Every cause has its ___________________________; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to Law; ______________________ is a name for Law not recognized; there are many fields of causation, but nothing escapes the ___________ _____ _______________." -- Summum This principle embodies the idea that there is a __________ for every effect; and an _______________ from every cause. It explains that "everything happens according to law"; that nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such thing as __________; that while there are various fields of cause and effect, the higher ____________________ the lower fields, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law (____________). "Gender is in everything; everything has its ____________________________ and ______________________ principles; Gender manifests on all levels." -- Summum The NATURE of the ___________________ of CREATION displays in this principle. This is a fact not only of the physical level, but of the mental and even the ________________ levels. On the physical levels the Principle presents itself as _____________; on the higher levels it takes ______________ forms, but the Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental, or spiritual, is ________________ without this Principle. MATCHING EXERCISE Write the number of the appropriate answer in the blank corresponding to the description.
