This is the fourth in the seven part series of the Seven Hermetic Philosophic Principles, also referred to as the Seven Universal Laws or Principles.
The principle of polarity states that every aspect of the Universe exists on a continuum between two, opposite poles. Nothing can be known without knowing its opposite. For instance, you can’t know what darkness is without knowing light. New has no meaning without reference to old. You can’t appreciate good without bad. Happiness only holds value in relation to sadness, etc. Understanding this fundamental need for polarity helps you appreciate even those parts of existence you don’t like. The interaction of Yin and Yang isn’t good or bad, it’s just necessary for…
The dance of life.
