Fill in the blanks with words or phrases that complete the ideas. It is impossible for two things to join in ___________ or discord without the presence of a _________________, for a 'BOND' must exist to _________________ them, and this ___________________ is OBJECTIVELY OBSERVED in its relation to ____________________. -- Summum It is the influence of the rule of ________________ on the objective observer which causes _________________ to ascribe to Creation human ________________, feelings and characteristics. This depiction of Creation is the natural _______________ held within every cell of your body ________________ from the evolution of the race The objective observer, bound by the rule of _____________ in the examination of the existent universe, discovers both an organized universe and a universe in chaos, rational and irrational numbers, beauty and ugliness, _________ and hate, pleasure and pain, _______________ and discord, sanity and ___________, truth and falsity. This harmony is viewed within ________________ and the universe as THE DIVINE ______________________. Although the proportions seem to be ________________ in NATURE, they are not. The only reason they seem fixed is because they are __________________ within the observer's mind. Time and lengths, _______________ and mass are all altered in proportion when the body concerned is in motion relative to the observer. In other words, moving bodies appear to be ____________________ in terms of their shape, size and speed, depending on your viewpoint. Apparent increase of ____________ in swiftly moving particles has been observed. The Divine Proportion, is also known as the ______________ ____________, Phi, the _____________ Ratio, the _______________ Series, etc. The Divine Proportion can be found throughout this universe; from the _____________ of galaxies to the swirls of _____________; from the harmony of _____________ to the very physical nature of Creation. The states of ______________________, insanity, and chaos in the universe are observations of states seemingly opposed to the accepted Divine __________________. The masters are not bound by these ________________ which restrict the normal human being. For they have set themselves _____________ from the lower law of a single viewpoint and observe existence from a ___________________ viewpoint within the same moment. The masters freely observe SUMMUM ________________ by the constraints of the fixed mind. MATCHING EXERCISE Write the number of the appropriate answer in the blank corresponding to the description.

Using the Principle of Proportion examine the segments of a line which is divided at any point between the two ends. a. Write a description of the relationship in numbers to the lengths of the proportions. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ 2. Using love and hate as extremes, examine like and dislike to see how they can have a relationship with proportion. Create a mental situation where you like or dislike someone. Move yourself from dislike to like and visa versa. Establish a scale of numbers for your degrees of like and dislike with beginning in the middle. +1 would be like and -1 would be dislike. a.

The Divine Proportion can be found throughout this universe; from the swirls of galaxies to the swirls of quarks; from the harmony of music to the very physical nature of Creation. With this in mind find an example of The Divine Proportion not yet mentioned. a. Write a description of the example you find. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ STUDY AND REVIEW QUESTIONS Formulate answers to these questions.
