We go through life without becomming aware that , in the functions of our life plan, we act completely wrong and blindly. We constantly violate the rules and laws which govern our actions in this world.

We don’t do this knowingly, but unconsciously. Thus we do damage to others; we take things without paying the fair value for them; we persue ends which become our desires (lives), converting us into machines; we chase our pleasures, convinced we are acting properly; we enter into conflicts and counterdictions which take us to repeat the same errors over and over again. All of these things, and many more, keep us in constant repetative wrong actions and hold back our true spiritual unfoldment. The whole time we think we are doing the right thing. We think that because others are doing the same things, we should also. But these are the actions of slaves, causing untold damage to ourselves and the world by repeating the same errors over and over without end.

This manner of acting is so ingraned in us that we consider them as normal. Well, arn’t these things taught to us by our parents, teachers, institutions, and by our friends and family members? Much of what we accept and learn as normal has caused us to view life in a manner completely different then intended by our Creator.

Man has separated himself from the virtues of this life, he no longer sees the purity and glory of our Creator Father. His senses have been seduced by his external pleasures and he has been induced to think he must judge all aspects of his life, causing errors in subjectivity and partiality. These have given man a body of habits which are false and harmful to him, and which rule his life.

Man should try to return to the life he left long ago, it being the only way he can come to learn his purpose in life and how to carry it out. These Principles can give him the tools he needs to perform the true work of his life, allowing him to act his way out of his darkness into the Light of Consciousness.

Man has also disassociated himself from his environment, nature and humanity, thinking himself an entity separated from things and the people with whom he shares his life. This dislocation causes much much hinderance in his evolution, none being possible if he does not share himself with his close human ties and environment.

This is why we (mankind) need tools to help us advance in our evolution, bringing us back to our intended path, becomming able to serve the Divine Plan and our own.

The study, and the placing into practice of these Principles will render much benefit to ourselves and humanity by helping us achieve our LIBERATION and creating the necessary space for ourselves and the people with whom we travel in this life.

These Principles represent hope and certainty for us; certainty to bring about the needed changes in our lives, putting us back on the path the Creator intended for us.

This course, made up of twelve Principles for the Liberation of Man, and has been adapted from a series of audio cassettes. We made changes only where we had to so as to not change the origional meaning and tone of the whole. Some places may read a little rough in places because of the conversational nature of the original presentation, but the meaning is intact.

Good morning, good morning, companion on the road of life, companion on the path... This message is to transmit to you one of the most important Principles that governs human behavior. With the help of this Principle you will be able to realize more light on your path. So be attentive; reflect on each word and phrase of this message; listen carefully to your inner voice as you meditate on it. Reflect on it again and again, until its contents becomes a part of you. Done this way it will become instinctive and automatic in your approach to life.

To go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself. Let me repeat this again, if you go against the evolution of people, things, situations, happenings in the world, you are at the same time going against yourself. This principle is based on a Cosmic Law, the most important Law that governs the Universe. It is the Law that states that the Creator resides in all of His Creation. As the Creator has created everything that exists, He then is present in each particle, in each atom of his Creation. Everything is in everything - everything is in all things. This is why if you go against the evolution of things you are also going against yourself. Life is One and beats in all of the Cosmic Kingdoms; it beats in the animal and mineral kingdoms; it beats in planets, suns, water; in all that is. Wherever you look there is movement and movement is life, and life is evolving. Life itself is evolution. Life is One. It is the impulse you feel in your chest, in your heart. It is the same consciousness that beats in you, also in stones, animals, in the trees, and in other people. Life evolves from the imperfect to perfect forms, from the most dense to the most subtle, from the most material to the most spiritual; this is why if you stop the evolution of any particle of life, you will also be delaying the evolution of the same life that beats in you.

Now let's see how this Principle can be applied in the way of life we are living today? Reflect with me. If this principle says "to go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself ," it is also saying, in other words, "if you commit yourself to help other things to evolve according to their plan, then you yourself will evolve." That is, if you help other forms of life to evolve, won't you be helping the same particles of life that beat in you to evolve as well? Simple, isn't it ?

Very well my friend, let's see what obstacles we might find on the road so as to be able to put this principle to work for us. The most important one is that from the moment of our birth we start thinking that we are a separate entity, that I am only myself, Peter is Peter, and John is John; that I have nothing to do with the sun, the moon, water, fire, the eucalyptus tree, our dog - isn't this right? This has been the education we have received. It is not enough to understand the principle that we are one with everything else, that our life is part of the same life with that of the rest of humanity. It is necessary to feel it, to feel this understanding penetrate each of the cells that form your mind, your emotions, and your body. It is necessary that you remember this as you walk the several paths of life. The first obstacle to recognize is that we think we are separate entities, independent and individualized from the whole.

The next obstacle that we will encounter on the path is not holding firmly in our minds and spirit that everything is in evolution or involution. If I toss a rock upward it will go up, then fall back. In life, to ascend is called evolving, to descend is named involution. There cannot be anything static in the universe, nothing is inert, nothing is paralyzed; everything moves, vibrates, either forward or backwards, inbound or outbound. Everything evolves or involutes. My friend, let's concentrate and meditate on this. A seed evolves into a tree; a boy evolves into a man; a little puppy evolves into an adult dog, and so forth. Ideas and thoughts evolve also, so do feelings and situations. You get married today and you have evolution or involution in your life; your union can go into more advanced phases of life, or you can involute, or degrade into something worse. You can start an activity today such as a new job, and by dedicating yourself to it with good effort, rise in the evolution of your good effort; or you could involute by not caring or paying attention to your work. This is the daily struggle inside our small worlds.

We are made of basically three entities: mind, emotions and body. Consciously, no individual wants involution. If we were to be asked which of the two we wanted we would naturally choose evolution. We all want to be a better person, better workers, better professionals, better friends, better brothers, better children, better parents, to be rich, have creative ideas, isn't that right? Even though this desire to evolve is in our mind, our mind is weak. By the Law of Duality, our emotional instinct naturally opposes our mind. Our emotional instinct is a justifier, it has a sweet tooth, is lazy, holds back, runs away from effort, looks for the easy way, and tends to involute. Inside you, inside me, and inside all other people, there is a constant struggle between the side that wants to go forward and the other that wants to hold back or go backwards.

Our body is in the middle of that battle. The reaction produced by the friction between our minds and our emotions can cause weakness, sickness, destroy our organs and embitter our life because our body receives the results of the battle taking place inside of us between the two forces. Going back to the Principle: "To go against the evolution of things, is to go against yourself". This means that if you support the involution of something external to you, you will at the same time be strengthening the part in you that involutes. On the other hand, if you help, in your world or other forms, beings or persons to evolve, you will be supporting the part in you that wants to evolve. How can we make this happen? The people that have walked that path into evolution before you and me have asked themselves the same question. Those who have crossed the barrier and have evolved, step by step, season after season, left for us the following legacy of their experiences.

Before we continue, I would like to suggest to you that you follow the instructions in the first part of this message for seven days; that you meditate and reflect on them. This is the first part of their legacy to you, so practice and understand it thoroughly. It will provide you with the light of this Principle and is the reason why it is the first of the twelve that can give man his total liberation from life and the maximum evolution possible. Unless you follow this first instruction, coming from those who have walked this path ahead of us, it won't be worth continuing with the rest. So be conscious, my friend; be prudent, pull yourself out from the masses, don't be afraid of being different, take seriously this advise. Here the only purpose is to make a free person out of you.

The second instruction they have left us, after understanding the first part of this Principle, is to make an analysis of our own life. Get a sheet of paper and a pencil. Ask yourself the following question, write... "Can it be that unknowingly I am doing, saying or acting in a way that is contributing to the involution of my own life and that of the people around me?" I am not saying that you are doing so, but could it be? Remember, the part in us that involutes our life works very secretly, hidden from our consciousness. Since we don't realize it happens in this manner, we need to bring it out into the light. To start, write down the thoughts that come to your mind which hurt you. Ask yourself, what are the emotions you feel once in a while that involute you? Do your actions contribute to the evolution of your physical body? Is everything you do evaluative? Now, lets look at the situation with the people you live with: your mother, spouse, children, work-mates. Write them down too, one by one, and ask yourself the following questions: "Can it be that I am doing something that involutes or makes any of them go backward instead of forward?" Analyze your reactions thoroughly and write them down from the point of view of your thoughts, emotions and actions. Then, after doing this, you will "wake up" and understand more fully the identity of what is within us, what is also part of us, but under the Law of Equilibrium tends to involute us, and now wants to help us evolve.

After doing this analysis, you will discover many unknown things about this hidden part of yourself. But my friend, you must be true to yourself, sincere, impartial, as if you were doing this about somebody else. Now, after doing it once a day for seven days, each time as if it was the very first time, not forgetting to be prudent and sincere - this becomes the first part of your liberation from the involutive influences of the world.

The third instruction is as follows: Choose an hour of the day for your private use over the next 49 days. During this hour you must be away from all your activities and relations, where you can do this work of understanding the ways of evolution in action. As an example, you could go to a hospital and see a new born baby, see another born 1 day before and another born 5 days before. Notice how they evolve. Or you could plant a seed or a plant and watch it over the following 49 days, and you would see that if you watered it, it would evolve and grow. You could go to a laboratory and observe through a microscope the cells of life, watching how they evolve. Look, search, investigate until the idea is a living part of you; until every cell in your body can respond to the idea of evolution; until you really see that everything evolves. Then comes the second part. You must also see the involution that is in this world. Buildings are demolished to build better ones; students are flunked in school; husbands and wives get divorced; people die; employees are fired from their jobs; accidents and violence are all about you. All of these are examples of involution. All people and things involved in these situations are involuting. Then analyze your own life and notice how many times in the past you have wanted to go forward but you went backward instead. Notice how many times the involution within has held you back, and you did not finding the strength to advance. How many ideas have you had in your mind to do "evolutionary" things but did not follow through? Well, try to remember how many times have you inflicted harm on other people and they have involuted because of it? How many times have you helped other people and they evolved because of your action?

My friend, the secrets that have led other people to liberation are in your hands. You have it in your hands to make a better world for yourself and others, or make your world a hell. In your hands you also have that others have a heaven or a hell. To go against the evolution of others is to go against your own evolution. After the 49 days, after this thorough analysis and acquired knowledge of yourself and of others, you will have awakened to the reality that everything evolves from involution, and that you can help the rest to evolve, as well as to contribute, even unknowingly, to the involution of others; not willingly of course. Nobody consciously hurts others, not even a flea.

We must remind ourselves that within us there is an entity that is our real self, an instinctive entity, an uncontrollable entity that when we sleep or are not alert, or day dreaming, can overwhelm us with our fears, our needs, our fights; that we forget that others are ourselves and that the life in them is the same as the life in us. That entity makes us do things that we consciously are not willing to do. You can understand, my friend, nobody wants to watch a baby cry. Nobody wants people to die of hunger. Nobody wants war, conflicts and discord. Consciously we want to see everybody happy, progressing. But what we see all around us are the signs and effects of involution. Who causes this? Who causes this, my friend? Simply put, it comes from within you and me, in the part of us humans that we cannot control, the part that tends to involution. For whatever reason, be it need or fear, isolation or trauma, it dominates our essence and makes us do the things we do. This is involution.

Think about it. Can you imagine if every person in this world decided to follow the Principle that says:" To go against the evolution of others and of things is to go against my own evolution." If each and every world citizen would do this, what kind of world would we have? Wouldn't we have a marvelous world? a beautiful world? a world that our Creator has foreseen as perfect and that is why He gave us the facility to evolve. The best way to arrive at a better world is for you, me and others to start working on evolving our own worlds. We have started this work, my friend, and we are making it. You can also do it my friend. You can also make your own world a better one. When you learn how to do it, following the instructions of those who preceded you on this road, you will also be able to teach it to others. You will be able to help others evolve in their own worlds. It is not a dream, my friend, it is not a dream. It is a reality.

This message now reaching you is new for you, but there are millions of people who have been working on this for many years. You just were not in contact with them so you didn't know of it. We are doing this because we either help people to rise up or they will fall, and if they fall they will carry us along with them. Think about this, my friend, think about this possibility. If you do not accept this message and do not follow its content, in your fall you can take us with you. If the life that is within you involutes, I will involute with you as well. I know you are surprised by this analysis, but it is the truth. This message is for people who are eager to develop, to change and reach their liberation.

Let's review this Principle again, it says "To go against the evolution of things is to go against yourself." Said in different words my friend, if you help others to their evolution you will be evolving yourself. This is the key. This is THE key. My friend, I hope you have complied with the steps and information you have received in the first part of this message; they are fundamental to your future. You will not be able to continue with what follows unless you have practiced the instructions step by step. The reason for this is that evolution is like a ladder, you can evolve step by step, but only step by step. Be prudent, be conscious, be intelligent about this my friend. You can do it. If you have not yet seriously carried on with what you have read in the first part, don't worry; read and contemplate this message again. Go over the first part again until the Principle is part of your being; until it reaches the deepest part of your conscious and subconscious minds; until the part within you that tends to involution understands that you, right now, wish to evolve. If all the work from the first part has awakened within you the desire to evolve, to stop going against the evolution of people, situations and things; if you have realized that the involution of all is also yours, then I know you can continue with these Principles.

Your key questions are: "How can I evolve? What do I have to do?" Simply put: there is a Law called the Law of the Ternary, or the Law of the Trinity. There cannot be evolution unless a person balances the forces of evolution and involution within himself. To say it differently, you will not be able to evolve or help things and people to evolve unless your mind and emotions work together. Unless your mental desire to evolve penetrates your emotions, they will not want to evolve. By joining these two forces, the active and the passive, like in the case of electricity, you will be able to produce a third force, superior to the first two, which is totally evolutive.

My friend, I would like to call your attention to the word evolution, which implies will. Write it as e-volu-tion. It means action of the will to go forward. Will comes from the union of the idea that you have in your mind and the desire to carry this idea through. This is clear, right? Hopefully you will be able to accomplish this Principle. From our place in time, we are sending you all the vibrations and all the necessary energy so you can work it out.

Do it in the following way. Over a period of 49 days, the first thing you will do when you wake up and the last thing when you go to bed is the following: Relax your body; lie down facing up; eyes closed; visualize in your mental screen one dot and one circle, black on a white background. Visualize this in your mind, a dot and a perfect circle around it. Under them, visualize a phrase that says "Everything is in all and all is in everything." The explanation for this is: "Life is in everything, and everything is life". Visualize the principle below the circle. "If I help others to evolve, I will evolve myself." Hold this image in your mind for 3 minutes: the dot with the circle on your mental screen. Wish it firmly from the deepest part of your heart; wish so profoundly that it becomes a reality in your life. Talk to your emotions as if talking to another person, different from you, and make "him" see the circle, with the dot in the center, and have "him" see that evolution is the "Mother Principle of the Universe". My friend, do this repeatedly over a period of 49 days, morning and evening. Remember this seven times a day; recall seven times a day that you have taken the decision to experience evolution, that you have decided not to stop or interfere with the evolution of others or any other living thing.

Remember, "everything is alive". The rock evolves, the water evolves, the animals evolve, the minerals evolve, all vegetables evolve, businesses evolve, your ideas evolve, your body evolves - everything does. Through the visualization of the circle and this Principle, you will start to join your mind with your emotions. You will start to join the part in you that wants to go forward to the part that tends to go backwards.

Then after doing this you should get yourself a notebook, a notebook that has 100 pages. Divide it into 4 sections. The first section will be titled: "The evolution of my own will, the evolution of myself". The second part will be: "The evolution of my world". The third: "The evolution of the people that live in my world" and the fourth "The evolution of nature-humanity". With this notebook you will have the basis for your evolution, something precise and concrete, not something vague.

In the first part which deals with the evolution of your own will, write down the Principle of the Circle and the Dot. Then, divide this first section into 4 parts. The first one is: "Evolution of my physical body", the second is: "Evolution of my emotional body and my emotions", the third one is "The evolution of my thoughts", the fourth, "Evolution by Cosmic Law application."

Let's now see the second part of the notebook that is titled: "The evolution of my world". This part will be divided in two. The first is: "Evolution of my activities" and the second is "Evolution of my possibilities."

The third part of the notebook will be divided into 4 parts. The first is "The evolution of my friends," write here the names of all the friends whom you see frequently. The second is "The Evolution of my family." There you will write the names of your mother, father, wife or husband, children. The third, "The evolution of my work mates," write down all names of the people you are in frequent contact with. The fourth, "Evolution of all the people that I see daily."

Now, lets see the fourth part of your notebook. It should read "Evolution of nature-humanity." This section you will divide into two parts. First, "Evolution of humanity" and the second, "The evolution of nature."

After all this is done, write down the key question on the first page of the notebook: "What can I do to help everything and everybody in this notebook to evolve, to advance to a higher level?" This question will be the basis for the entire content of the notebook. Dedicate 20 to 30 minutes to it every day to it. As you apply yourself to this, you will gain solid ideas on how you can help your acquaintances, your work mates, and humanity. You will be able to contribute to them in a concrete way.

Even though the involutive part of you will try to make you see that there is not much you can do for others and for yourself, don't give in to this feeling, my friend. (I am giving you the way to be a part of the evolution of others. If the involutive part of you cannot give you an appropriate answer on how you can aid others and yourself to evolve, then utilize this message and your experience; use this Principle and take it with you so others can get to know it and can practice it.) You can help them to include in their lives this First Principle for The Liberation of Man.

But let's suppose that you have been able to see that you certainly can help others evolve, others and yourself. Then the process of joining the two parts, the evolution and involution (to be in agreement) and the image of the dot and the circle becomes a conscious part of your life. Also, when you decide on something you wish to accomplish, apply this principle over a seven day period, twice per day; when you go to bed and when you wake up. You must picture in your mental screen a symbol or the outline of something you have decided upon, something that you want. Visualize what you want to accomplish and wish for it firmly. Clearly transmit the image in your mind to your emotions and do it over and over during seven days, and seven times per day. Remember, this is how you can experience evolution.

As you are able to experience this new consciousness, my travel and life companion, there is work to be done. One must work, sweat, even fight at times, because what you have in this message is not for lazy people, nor for the indolent, or for people that have failed in life, and certainly not for people who have not made the necessary effort to evolve in their lives. This is for those that have made the effort over and over again and because of a lack of method, or knowledge of the Principles, or a lack of light, have tripped on supposedly unsurpassable obstacles. I hope that you are a part of those people who put a value on their lives, people who have understood that The Cosmos is order and all that order comes from order itself. It does not matter what you call it or how you conceive it. The Cosmic order, the planets, galaxies, suns, your life, all life grows under principle and rhythms in perfect harmony together.

Perhaps you will ask: "And why were these teachings not given to us when we were children?" My friend, I will answer with the very wise words of an ancient man: "Everything has its own time; there is a time to sleep, a time to eat, a time to work and a time to rest, and also there is a time in the life of a person when he can receive the necessary teachings that will take him to the accomplishment of his plan of life." There is a well known phrase: "When the disciple is ready to listen and receive the teaching, the master will be there with the necessary knowledge." My friend, don't permit anything within to fool you, just don't allow it. Be intelligent. Your Creator has given you a mind to think, emotions to perceive and feel, and a vigorous body with which to act.

You have ideas, emotions, and can put them into action. You can understand by yourself, without help from anybody else, the truth that lies in this message. Don’t listen to the part in you that says that it is difficult, that you can't carry it through to the end. This is the part that we call "the involutive force within." It is the part in you that is happy to see you involved in mistakes, in failures, and in the gutter. It is the part that is happy to see you down; the part that has caused all the disgrace in your life. Will you continue to listen to this? Or will you be sensible and prudent? I am appealing to your other part, the part that wants to evolve, the part that appreciates the gifts of wisdom and intelligence, the part that realizes that it is necessary to try and put forth an effort to be able to achieve something in this life. I'm calling to the part that knows that without effort what you get is not of value. I do not want the two parts within you to argue, the involutive and the evolutive. Stop them now, enough of conflicts and contradictions. The hour is finally here to do something about it.

From this message you can receive HOW your evolutive part can influence your involutive part, so that both, as brothers, can make peace and move the body to reach the ends that will take you to a world full of light, a happy world. So make your decision, you have to decide today, tomorrow, every day. Seven times per day make the decision to evolve.

Don't get frustrated if on the first, second or third attempt you are not able to transmit the image of the dot and the circle, or that you still are not able to wake up your inner desire to evolve. Don't stop trying, try over and over again. When you accomplish this, nothing, nothing will stop you; nothing will come between you and evolution. No obstacle will be unsurpassable. But all of this has a price, not the price of this message nor the price of your effort, but some other price. If you are able to accomplish everything that you have learned in this message, you must stand before the Creator of the Universe and commit yourself to use it only and exclusively for the purpose of evolution of life. To use it only for the service of the well being and perfection of your brothers and yourself, transmitting it to others who are in the same condition you are today, in a relative obscurity, not knowing how to evolve nor how to move forward.

Today we are doing what we promised by transmitting this message to you, so you as well can commit yourself to do the same by taking it to others. Wouldn't you like it if in your small world all the people you know would progress, be successful, and be really happy? Well, you can you know. Do your part first by accomplishing your happiness first, then they will benefit from your subsequent actions.

When you force something towards its end, you get the opposite effect. Again, when you force something towards some end, you produce the contrary of what you originally wanted. Remember, when you force, you get the opposite. To force... an end... opposite. To force ... end... opposite. When you force something to an end, you will get the opposite.

Repeat after me, slowly, visualizing a double dish weight scale, where you force one side down the other moves up. Visualize the scale and repeat after me: When I force something towards an end, I will create the opposite result. I must not force. I must not force. I must not force. I must not force anything towards some end. When I force something towards an end, I will get the opposite effect of what I originally wanted. Visualize on your mental screen the scale, see the process of adding and then subtracting weights on one dish in order to perfectly balance some item on the other dish.

This represents what you can do to reach balance in your life and master this Principle. One dish represents the effort you are making to accomplish your purpose, and the other is what you want to get. What you want to accomplish has a price, a fair price. If you don't try hard, you will not achieve what you want, because you will be paying a lesser price by your effort than what its fair price is. So, if you have not made the necessary effort, you cannot get what you want. Also, you cannot force it to your end because you would be violating the law of Balance. Everything you want requires an amount of effort and of work, not more nor less than its price. This is the reason why, in the past, you haven't been able to reach many of your goals. This is the reason why, instead of reaching your goal, you have accomplished the opposite of what you set out to do. You have forced the situation; you wanted your goal without paying its fair price. Remember, when you force something towards an end, you produce the opposite.

Review this part of the message over and over for a period of 49 days when you wake up and when you go to bed, always visualizing the scale dishes (represented by a circle split equally right and left) shifting until reaching equilibrium. Recall this situation seven times per day. Seven times a day say in a loud voice this Principle which governs the accomplishment of all human effort: "When I force something towards an end, I will get the opposite effect." Everything I wish to get has a fair price, and I must pay for it with effort, work or some other way, no more, no less than its fair value.

Alright, my friend, get comfortable and let's converse seriously. If your parents had taught you this Principle when you were between the ages of, let's say, seven to ten years old, where would you be now? Yes, yes, I know, sadly we were not taught this Principle. How many times in the past have we forced things to happen; we wanted something and acted to get it by force, but what we got was the opposite result. This concept must be clear that in you, in me, and in every human being, our conscious side knows very well that we must pay for everything we wish to get. Isn't this true? Then, who is the one who forces things? Who is it?

Simply put, something inside of us, an impulsive person inside of us, a person that wants to do whatever he wants to do, a person that does not follow laws, that whenever he wants something, forces his way through you in order to get it. He does not care if it has a price or not, and in this moment this impulsive person is in you, in me and inside every human being. This person has to be balanced by the conscious part of us. Our mind, when it's up and awake, knows that there is a price to pay for the things we want, but our impulsive part does not know of laws, nor does it care for these things.

Visualize again the dishes and the scale, let's put on the right dish our conscious part and on the left our emotional, impulsive part; that part that wants to do whatever it wants, knowing no laws. When the conscious part does not take into consideration the impulsive part, it has little strength to give to any effort; therefore, it cannot accomplish its goal. If the impulsive part in us is the one that governs us, it forces its way into some outer action, causing you to get the opposite of what you set out to accomplish. Then you will say: "What can I do about it?" The answer is simple: Our conscious side and our impulsive side have to be in an agreement in order to do things well. The impulsive side is the strong side of us, and the conscious side, the mind, is the one that knows exactly how to accomplish things, what the price is, or how to find out the right price to pay to accomplish the goal.

As you do the exercise I'm giving you, over a period of 49 days, your conscious side will be transmitting to your impulsive side the image of this Principle; it will be educating it that it is not possible to just do whatever it wants; it will be telling it "Lets get together on all that we do." This is the Binary Law, the Law of Duality. Everything in the Cosmos is One, and the One becomes two. One side active and the other passive; one side positive and the other negative; a right and a left side; and unless, my friend, both parts are in agreement within you, you will continue harvesting failures, you will continue to force things towards some end and, of course, getting the opposite effect. Or you will continue to give a lesser than necessary effort in getting those things you want, but falling short of getting them.

The Law of Duality, or the Binary Law, also called the Polarity Law, manifests in all of us in the following manner: One pole is your mind. Your mind, when you are awake, knows the law. It knows very well that everything has a price, no more, nor less than its fair value; and this price cannot be forced under any circumstance. What happens is that this is not the side that always governs us. The impulsive side is the other pole; the side with our emotional strength; it is our animal part that knows nothing of laws, that wants to do whatever it wants, and if possible, accomplish everything without paying any price. You know this pole well! We are all made from the same mold.

Now then, how can we achieve an agreement between these two parts of us, the mind and the emotions? How can we get a clear idea of the proper balance between our mind and emotions? We want our mind and our strength to work together. We want our goal and our motive force to achieve without forcing a situation, and to be prepared to pay the fair price.

One way to accomplish this condition is through the exercise I gave you earlier. Another is by awakening to the fact that time and again in the past we have forced things to happen, and have gotten the contrary. Or simply put, we have not given the right amount of effort needed and didn't get what we wanted! My travel and life companion, my friend, do you want to continue living this way?

Get a notebook and a pen, recall the times in the past you gave your time and effort to get something, forcing your way through, and the only thing you got was the opposite of what you set out to achieve. Each time you have tried to force yourself into accomplishing something, it does not matter what, write it down in your notebook. Do so on each of the 49 days to the best of your ability. Then, on each of the 49 days write down all of your ideas, goals and projects that you wanted to achieve but were not able to accomplish because of lack of strength. These were the times you were not able to do them because your other (emotional) side was not with you with the necessary power and strength needed. Do this over the next 49 days. Then write the names of seven people that you see frequently, and write down the times that they have tried to accomplish something by forcing their way to the end but accomplished the opposite. Make this work the most important thing in your life for the next 49 days.

Think about it, over and over until you are convinced of this truth. Do it until every cell of your body, until your impulsive side, your emotional side, and your mind accept the truthfulness of this Universal Principle, until you see it clearly. Are you ready to give the necessary effort? Are you ready to do this? Are you willing to pay the price? Or would you prefer to force the issue once again? Do you think you can bypass this Law without paying a fair price? This Law simply says that if you do not give the right amount of effort, you will be violating this Principle. If you don't agree then this message will not serve any purpose, but you would be wasting a golden opportunity, the opportunity to be a balanced man, in harmony and peace with yourself. A man with his mind and emotions working together, with his will and power joined together, struggling towards the same purpose.

My friend, be prudent, be intelligent, be sensible and don't permit anything to discourage your efforts. Our emotional side normally tends to forcing and justifying itself, it is the side that wastes our energy. But have courage! If you are prudent and intelligent now that you know this situation and make the decision to carry through with these exercises, you will change your life to your liking. Now, if I were to insist that you do this exercise, I would be forcing your effort and the only result would be the opposite. I would accomplish your not doing anything about what you have learned from this message. This is how the Law of Balance works. Like a Great Master said: "He who has ears, should hear; he who has eyes, should see." There you have it, my friend. Be prepared to pay the price in this life. Every effort spent according to this Principle will pay you back a hundred times over.

Now then, relax, lie down if you wish, calm yourself, shut your eyes and visualize a circle with a dot in the middle. Below it, on the left side, visualize a circle split into two halves by a line. On the right side of the circle split in two, visualize a third circle, a circle looking similar to the Mercedes Benz emblem enclosed in a circle, a circle divided into three equal parts. These circles represent the three phases of accomplishment. The first one we will call your 'wish.' The circle in two parts has two names; the left side is 'wish,' the right is called 'can.' In the third circle, if the wish and the can are in balance with each other then both must also be in balance with the 'do.' This is your visualization of idea, emotion and action in perfect balance. If your body, ideas and emotions are perfectly balanced and if you are ready to pay the price for what you want, without forcing anything, you will be a person that can do; that can accomplish everything because you understand that everything has a price, not more nor less than its true value. Three times a day over the next 49 days you will draw the three circles and meditate on them and the relationships they represent. You have in your hands the key of the doing. use it well.

I know you are a person of good judgement, having a real desire to evolve and accomplish the purpose of your life in harmony with yourself, your co-workers and those who are in your little world. If you have carried through with all the instructions received in the first part of this message, you now know a lot about the forces inside of you. You know a lot about the forces of your mind, your emotions and your body. If this is the case, let's proceed to the next part, which is how to carry through with the Principle of the three forces, the Principle that states that: "When you force something towards an end, you get the opposite."

Prepare a notebook and pencil. Write down the name of seven people, seven people with different ages, whom you appreciate and like; and who also like and appreciate you. These seven people must have in common the fact that they are accustomed to forcing things with the result not expected. People you know who perhaps don't try hard enough to get what they want. It does not matter if you can't think of their names right away, but keep at it and make the list. From the many you first consider you should make your first list; these are your pre-candidates. Then, by using your knowledge and memory you have about them, you can decide which should be the seven people.

Ask yourself and write down: "What can I do to help these people understand this great Principle and help them start living by it?" Your work in this second part is to deliver this Principle to the seven people on your list and help them apply it throughout their lives. This is based on another Cosmic Law that states: "You will affix within you, forever, that which you teach to another." My friend, what is the use of a personal balanced world? What can you get from knowing this Principle and Law, carrying it though successfully in your own small world, while those closest to you are still ignorant about it and continue to force things towards their incomplete end? What good can you get out of it if your closest friends or relatives aren't harmonious, balanced and happy, reaching their goals? It is logical, you see, truth and knowledge have an agreement that says: He who benefits from the truth and knowledge of the ones who went ahead on this Path, has the obligation to pass it to others. This is the pre-requisite for affixing this Principle and Law to your body, your mind, and your emotions.

You cannot master this Principle 100% unless you try to transmit it to other people and encourage them to carry it through for their own equilibrium. Remember, if you force something to an end you will get the opposite, that is, if you force them to learn the Principle and follow it, you will not be able to see them successfully accomplishing it. Don't try to force them.

Picture one person you are willing to help on one dish of the balance scale and see your effort to help on the other. The two dishes will have to balance each other before your friends will be able to put this Principle to work in their lives and gain their new happiness. Remember, the steps you have to go through are as follows: First, make a list of pre-candidates. Second, analyze each to see who are the ones that violate the principle; that is, the ones that force themselves at something and always get the opposite, or those who do not try hard enough and never reach their goal.

Third, decide to transmit the Principle to them and on the manner with which you will carry it through. You can't make this decision unless you yourself are in balance, but if you paid the price of doing the work indicated here, you are. Everything has its price.

The price for what you have received, the price of the harmony you have accomplished by carrying through the first part of these instructions is the transmission and help you render to the seven people you placed on your list. The understanding of this idea will let you make your decision without conflict or contradiction, without a struggle between your mind and your emotions, between your desire and your "can do."

Fourth, be alert to the side in you that will tell you it does not know how to do it, or that it can't be done, or that these people are not going to listen, or that these people are not able to do it, or any other excuse. This is the fourth step, to be alert to this side in us, the negative, passive side. You will not be able to fulfill this work unless you convince this side that doing this effort is a necessity, that working at this is to pay a price for something that has been received. This is the secret way of being able of accomplish anything.

Fifth; set up a time, a good way is every two or three days, when you can dedicate your effort to each person, until he or she has reached balance and harmony in life. To say this differently, you have to continue your effort until they "make it". Sixth step, start your effort from the beginning of this Principle, don't skip anything. Consider that each and every one of these people are in the same place you were before you started to see the Light of this teaching.

Last step, teach them to do it exactly the same way you are doing it. That is, they have to pay the price by teaching the seven people they selected in the way to accomplish the Principle of Equilibrium that says: "When you force something to an end you get the opposite." While this takes place, you should write your goal and the Principle in little sheets of paper, placing them in several different places in your home to remind yourself of what you're doing. Change the places often until you constantly have in your mind the purpose of what you want to accomplish, and that you are willing to pay the price for this Principle of Light for your personal liberation.

Now then, review this teaching for seven days, every night when you go to bed. I already hear your protest from the side in you that does not want to pay the price; the side that considers that this is too much work; the side that says that it is not necessary to listen to this seven times, that once is enough; that you are not stupid; that you can understand it after reviewing it a couple of times. I can hear it! Don't pay any attention to it. It has always acted this way in the past; but don't permit it to do what it wants this time. This has happened to me as well, my friend, I know it well. It kept me in the mud for a long time. I know hundreds of people that have the same problem. I deal with this side like I would do with a young child; I do not struggle with it; I let it see that I will not listen to it for seven days. I will listen to its protests, but inside my heart, I will not follow it.

Be astute my friend, we are talking about your life. Are you going to allow failure here? Are you going to allow your emotional side lead you to destroy your life? I did this same procedure in the past too; one day I realized that life is One and that it is something incredibly great to be incarnated in a body and be alive. I understood that one incarnates to do something concrete. You have something to do! Each one of us has something to do in the Cosmic Plan.

Can't you see my brother, this is a world of order ? Don't you see that this is a perfect world ? Don't be concerned any longer with the side of you that says it is not so. Everything in the Cosmos is in order. When you accept this, your life will start to make sense. My life started to make sense when I started to obey and follow the Cosmic Laws. I realized that success, harmony, peace and happiness, friendship and love all obey precise laws; they are not at all related to chance or something that just happens. No, my friend, no, no; it is something that we can produce in our life if you follow the laws.

I also had my doubts and my struggles. Be positive in the morning and negative in the evening. Think " I can " in the morning and consider it impossible later on in the day. These are laws and principles that thousands of people before us have used and proven to be true. You yourself have used them many times. Think, if an item is worth 50, why argue and try to force yourself into buying it for less. If it is worth 50, then it has to be purchased for 50; the price has to be paid. It's that simple. You cannot rape a woman and at the same time have her cooperate with you; you can't force a child to study if you want him to learn, you have to find a way to show him that it is good for him. A mother might want to see her child eating well, but if she forces the child, it will oppose her efforts. But this is the way we have been brought up. " You must study ", then we don't. "You must work", then we don't want to. "You must do this, you must do that, you must be good. You must love other people, so nobody "Loves their neighbor." You see we have always been forced to do things, and without noticing , these ways have entered into our "blood" (DNA).

We also try to force others to do things. We force everything and we accomplish the opposite! We have to get rid of these ways of behavior. We can if we awaken ourselves, if we observe and realize what our ways of doing things are. It's simple: make your mind up to observe yourself and others, notice how people force things to happen, see how people force things, and the results are not what was expected. Then, observe yourself, and you'll see that these ways are in you as well. That is why you are where you are. But, when you awaken to this fact and decide to follow the law and the teaching given in the first part of this program and if you do what is said in the second part, you will in all certainty change your habitual ways of forcing things or not trying hard enough, and you will become a harmonious person.

As you can see my friend, in the same way that there are "traffic laws," "income tax laws," "laws for banking ," for work, for marriage, for commerce ,etc., nature and the Order of the Cosmos has provided Laws for living that apply to the vegetables, the minerals and the humans as well. Laws that permit growth and evolution in perfect harmony for the accomplishment of Cosmic and personal plans. Carrying through with the Laws, you find you will have light on what you do and where you go. You will be able to shine it on your small world and on that of others, who themselves will have the light shine in their world and that of those they work with. We must place our pride and ways of thinking that we are such important beings under constant watch and restraint while we search for the ways to improve the quality of our lives, and of those close to us. Doesn't our past life show, and don't we each one know deep inside that this principle is true and will improve our lives? That it is hard to do, well, OK, maybe at first, but once it is started it doesn't look hard. Isn't' it worth it? Everything requires work, what doesn't!

My friend, think and meditate, be patient with yourself, don't act in a hurry. Do this slowly, and you will enter into the circle of the Friends of the Law. You will enter the circle of the Friends of the Cosmos; of Nature; Friends of Order; the circle of the ones that have understood; of those who can carry through everything they wish, for they do not go against the Law of Order. Instead they back it up, they defend it. You will overcome and will help others to overcome. Or will you fail and be one of so many that fail because they don't know they have to pay for what they want? Do you know someone who wants to act the way 'he wants', and doesn't go any further than that?

Well, there you have the balance scale of life in front of you, and it's your life on the scale. You can make your own heaven or hell out of it on this earth, and you now have the way to improve it. May our common Creator guide your steps. Thanks for your attention. Thanks. We are One.

THE PRINCIPLE OF STRENGTH

Hello, my friend, hello! To go backwards or to go forward, to advance, to wait, or to retreat, these are important doubts. During the course of our lives we face situations, happenings, occasions, and problems, but most times we do not know how to face them or to retreat. We do not really know when to wait or when to go forward. Imagine how often in the past you have been faced with this situation; the same as the rest of us. How many times did you go forward on something instead of waiting for the situation to mature? How do we humans know what we should do and when? My friend, for a long time our decisions, reactions and behavior on these matters have really been based on our instincts and experience. This way carries a high risk of failure because the chances of being wrong are quite high. You have at least a 90% probability of making the wrong decisions when faced with choices such as advancing on a problem, waiting or retreating. We can still choose between two possible decisions: our instincts, intuition and experience, or follow certain Laws and Principles which can guide us more certainly through these uncertainties.

Our life, even if we're not aware of it, obeys laws. Everything that happens to us comes out of Just and Perfect Laws which function in this world. We live in a Cosmos of Order, in a Universe of Order, created intelligently by an Ordered Force, no matter what you may call It. The Cosmos, our Creator, has provided all of life with the laws that maintain order, and if we use them consciously, they can guide us through every situation we face.

This third Principle, the third among 12, says: "The light needed for the liberation of the individual has been provided for your use." The Principle goes like this: "Retreat when confronting a stronger force, wait until it weakens and then advance with resolution". Back away from a stronger force, wait until it weakens, and then go forward in a firm, assured manner. As you can see, my companion on the path, if we come to understand this, to be conscious of and follow it, and practice this very wise Principle of Light, we will be able to avoid 100% of the wrong decisions we make, as well as prevent us from doing wrong to others 100% of the time. Isn't this ability worth having?

Let's see, my friend, what the precise meaning of this Principle is. The first part is "to retreat when confronted by a stronger force." This means we have to stop and step back from it when we recognize it. This is the way to avoid any danger or damage that may result from such an encounter. What obstacles do we see that could prevent us from carrying through with the first part of this Principle? Right! You figured it out! The only obstacle is our ability to size up the force that comes up against us; when is it a stronger or weaker force as compared to ours? Now then, if you are the type of person that overestimates yourself, then you would usually be the type of person that has received quite a few blows and problems in life, because a person who believes he is on top of everything, one who overestimates himself, usually gets into many problems. If you are one of those who underestimates himself, then you overestimate your problems, situations and the people you deal with, and then you spend most of your life holding back, tormented and unable to do much! As you can see, it is a serious problem. One must be very balanced, awake and acknowledging always the size of our forces, our value, power and capabilities to be able to size up the incoming opposing forces. To be able to carry through with the first part of the Principle, all you need to have is an impartial judgement. You have to really want, from the bottom of your heart, to solve your problems, for on this depends whether you are going to continue with them or be free of them.

Search within yourself and notice your behavior of the past, analyzing the problems and missed chances in your life which resulted from your actions plus the reasons why you have not advanced as you wanted. Then you will be able to find the secret that lies behind the image you have of yourself. First, ask yourself: "Do I over or underestimate myself? Do I consider myself a great thing, or do I consider myself not much of anything?" "Have I made many mistakes in the past regarding my forces"?

Second, make a list of seven people in your life, seven people that like and appreciate you. Ask them what they think about you. Ask them: "Do you think that I over or under estimate myself?" Let them answer this, it will help you to search within yourself a great deal. The root of the problem is that we are made up of three parts, a mental, an emotional and a physical part. Our mental part always overestimates itself. It believes it is the king of the hill, while our emotional part is the cautious one. It is the one that has received the sometimes hard lessons of life; it is the part that has always listened to the "You can't do this, you can't do that," so it is the part that always underestimates itself. There is an eternal conflict between the part that overestimates itself, called the personality, and the part that underestimates itself, called the essence, or our emotional part. The one who suffers the effects of this fight between these two parts is your body (unless you can arrive at a true and real evaluation of yourself).

My friend, your mind and my mind want a lot. We have great imaginations. Our minds go into fantasy quite a bit, but finally you must remember that it is not our minds which do the things that we want in life. Our mind always puts us into problems, into undesirable situations.

On the other hand, our emotions, our impulses, the part within us that underestimates itself, the part that has registered all of the failures we have had during our lives gets smaller each day. It tends to keep us in a corner, not letting us try situations for fear of failure.

These two parts, my friend, must make peace between themselves, and the only way to accomplish this is to objectively analyze yourself. Do an evaluation of your own reality, of what really and truly can be done by the mind and of what really and truly can be expected from your emotions. Then, the joining of the thoughts and ideas with the desire to carry through these thoughts in a balanced way will harmonize you and will harmonize the external forces around you. In any case, until you have done this analysis, until you have finished with your evaluation, until you know with certainty the ground you are standing on, until you can differentiate between the wanting of your mind and the desires of your emotions, and until you have learned to balance both, you will have to back away from stronger forces.

Well then, what about the stronger force? Where do these situations and circumstances come from? Are these the problems at work or with the family, with friends, or even with myself? Where do they come from and why do I have to accept backing away from them? Again, my friend let's ask for help from our common Creator from the Cosmos that has provided us with Laws of Light to shine on our paths and to help us carry through with our life plans. In this case what comes to aid us is the Law of Cause and Effect. This Law states the following: "Each cause has its effect, and each effect has its cause." This means that you are the cause of all mayor situations and events, problems and conflicts with people, work, friends and family that come your way. You are the cause, you have triggered the stronger force, either knowing or not knowing that you did. This is why you have to accept and back away from this force.

The root of our problem is that there is a part of us, an impulsive part, the emotional part, the part that is afraid, the part that tends to failure, the part that does not follow the law, the part that does whatever it wants. This part, when we are not awake or aware, when we do not actively control it, causes us to take some action or other. By the Law of Cause and Effect, some effect is going to (has to) come back on us. In this case, it will be a strong force. This is why, if at the instant when you find yourself in circumstances or situations of this kind, when a stronger force is coming to confront you, my friend, do not face it, do not argue; be humble, accept the situation and back away from it.

Then just wait, wait until it weakens, wait in your new knowledge until this stronger force weakens because of inaction while you wait and analyze the reason why you came to face this situation. In the exact instant that you know the reason for the triggering of this situation to have happened to you, the reason your conscious or subconscious behavior caused this force to overcome you, at that instant the force confronting you will weaken. So that is what you have to do, wait until it weakens. Wait until you have found the reason for it to be there, then this force will weaken in the same instant that you acknowledge that it is yourself that has caused it, that you know where it came from and that you have learned an important lesson.

From your experience you can then avoid similar situations in the future by not triggering them yourself. Your subsequent activities will be more confident. You will be able to advance with resolution, with light on your path (the word resolution comes from the root word: sun, which is light and reasoning, and which means to decide to do something without making the same mistake again).

So back away - wait, advance when you know the cause of the situation. This all depends on you, depends on the reasons for your behavior of today, on the causes of your actions. Your actions, good or bad, will inevitably trigger stronger forces which will come back to you, which themselves would be good or bad according to why you caused them. Back away from a stronger force, wait until it weakens and then advance with resolution. This is the Principle that could shine on your life for you, but only if sincerely and deeply from the bottom of our heart, you decide to accomplish the analysis objectively and impartially, then make the adjustments, bringing your inner parts into balance and working as one. This depends on you, right now, while you consider this message.

In years past, consciously or unconsciously, you have been the cause of the situations in your life. If your actions have been for the good, you have received your deserved payment for them; if not yet, you will receive them in the future. This is an irrevocable Law, just and perfect. All your actions, good and bad, will come back to you as a stronger force in your life. Follow the Principle, my companion on the path, wake up to it, and prepare yourself to acknowledge the stronger forces you encounter. Know the causes and realize the good and the mistakes so you can keep on advancing. But never forget, it is not important who you are, what you do or how old you are. Know that before you were aware of this principle, both consciously and not, you have acted rightly and wrongly. For the good you will be paid, and for the bad you have to prepare yourself to stand in front of their effects.

This is the Law, a just and blessed Law; without it our world would be much more chaos than it is today. Thousands of people, my friend, of all ages and from all times, have received this message. Some were prudent, ambitious and intelligent; they saw the Light of this message and decided to work at it by putting it into practice. It is because of their effort that it has arrived to us from past ages. We were able to do it, and we are carrying through with it, according to the Law by passing this message on to you. What will you do with it? Will it be a message received once and then lost in time? Will you underestimate or overestimate yourself anyway? And will you permit your mental part, the one that overestimates itself, to judge this message badly? Will you permit your emotional part to underestimate your emotional force to carry through with it? As you can see, this is for people who want success. It is for people who want peace and harmony, for people who do not want to harm anything or anybody anymore, neither consciously or otherwise; not to themselves nor to others. It is for people who want to be useful to their world and to their Creator. It is for people who want to wake up from their long sleep. It is for people who want to balance the duality of good and bad. It is for people who can do it.

My friend, we know the difficulties that are encountered on the road to this Light, don't let yourself be disappointed by them. Read this message seven times, once a day before going to bed, then come to your conclusions on this first part.

Dear friend, if you paid close attention to the first part of this message for seven days and if you meditated and deeply reflected on the Law of Cause and Effect, you must have arrived at your conclusions, isn't that right? Your conclusion cannot be other than the following: Each time that life puts you in circumstances where you are facing the danger of a stronger force that can strike you down, you must back away and ask yourself why is this happening? Why am I facing this situation and problem? You must look within yourself for the cause or causes that have triggered this situation, and you must find it. Only when you find it and you accept that you triggered it, and when you decide not to repeat the cause that triggered the situation, then the stronger force will weaken and you will never have to face it again. The second question you should ask yourself is: "Has this happened to me in the past? In the past, have I ever been in the face of a stronger force like this one? Why?"

My friend, these two questions about facing a stronger force are your keys in the search for your answers. If you do this with good intentions and full seriousness, something in you will show you the cause; what happens after you have your answer depends on your arrogance or your humbleness, on your desire to get what you want but denying guilt; or if you are humble, sensible and prudent enough to acknowledge and correct the condition that started it all, then you will be able to advance with resolution. Each and everyone of us, my friend, has tendencies like these. Inside of us, in our emotional part, we have these tendencies to make mistakes over and over. The blows we receive for making these mistakes are the ones that one day will bring us to the understanding that behind these mistakes are the lessons that we have to learn, inviting us to correct them. It's not too difficult to reign in our emotional body, bringing it to cooperate consciously with our mind so as to eliminate the tendencies that lead us to our problems, conflicts, contradictions and blows.

Get a paper and pencil, and during seven days, once per day, ask yourself these questions: "What kind of problem is repeated over and over in my life? Which are the situations, events or happenings that I am involved over and over? Which are the blows that I am receiving over and over?" Be impartial and objective with yourself, give a true and honest answer to these questions from deep within you. The Light will show you which are the problem causes that are repeated, and you will have your answers. You will know that ever since you had reason this Law has been at work in your life, placing the strong forces before you so you would look within for their causes. You have paid for many of these already, but there are still a few left to be paid.

So, knowing the causes that you triggered in the past because of your emotional tendencies, you can now tell which are the effects that resulted. You can also remain alert now to the forces that will be showing up in the future. Again, your analysis will turn on the light in you mind and heart. It will carry you to the discipline and auto-correction you need by being alert and prepared to pay for that which you have done in the past. Now you won't be surprised by the stronger force when it shows up. Will you be able to back away in humbleness before this force? Will you wait until it weakens? Remember, it will not weaken, but will return even stronger, over and over, until you acknowledge the causes and you decide not to make the same mistake again. Only then will you be able to advance with resolution. The effects could show up in various ways, but the Law, which is just and perfect, and is magnanimous with those who wait for it and with those who support and defend it. Also, when one knows the Law, when one acknowledges that he has to pay, the blow hurts less.

My friend, in order that this Principle and the Law of Cause and Effect be fixed in your essence and become the normal and daily way for you to face life, that is to make it a part of yourself, you must start and then continue to work with it. Remember, everything has its fair price.

Now, open up a 50 page notebook, divide it into 4 sections. In the first write down: "My duty with myself". In the second write: "My duty with my neighbor," in the third: "My duty with humanity," and in the fourth: "My duty with the Law, with the Cosmos, with the Creator." You must initiate the following plan which will last many years of your life, and it is as follows: Start creating, in a conscious manner causes for the good, causes for harmony, causes for unity, without conflicts or contradictions. Also causes for which the effects are harmony, peace, love and well being. Ask yourself the following question: "What can and what should I do to lead a harmonious life? What can I start doing today, tomorrow, every other day? Which seed actions can I take so the effects are equal to the seed?" Sow causes of care towards your emotional body, They are in need of harmony, beauty, art, balance and must withdraw from the fear of failure and of itself. You can create causes of clearness, of understanding, of consideration in your mental body, causes of order and causes of balance. Search, inquire, investigate, then create, create, create. And then just wait for the results. The Sacred Law of Increased Compensation will return to you a hundred fold for each seed you plant.

Then, do the same for your neighbor, for your wife, your friends, your parents, your relatives, your work companions. Start to sow in them, start to induce in them harmonious actions; in a conscious way make it a goal for them to achieve in them, to bring out the best part of them. The same will be your duty with humanity. Which causes can you sow? What can you do for your neighborhood? Your area in town? For the small world that is humanity to you? This will later compensate you a hundred times over.

In relation to your duties with your Creator, my friend, you must know you were created for a very specific reason. An intelligent and perfect Creator cannot make a mistake, He can not create a being without some purpose. There is a purpose to your life, there is a plan, your creator is expecting something from you, something that is very real, something that he does not expect from anybody else because you are unique. He has not created any two humans alike, none but you has the combination that you are. If you are aware of this fact, if you search inside of yourself where your Creator resides, and if you do not slack off until you know the reason for your existence, you will find why are you here. Where are you going and what do you have to do? You can know these things, my friend. This could be the great cause that you could sow. Its effects will show up when you are ready, at the moment when you have learned to obey the Laws of your Creator, both for yourself and for the rest of Creation.

One of the causes you can sow is this message to seven people you have to choose. It is guaranteed that you will later have much fruit for your labors, fruits of peace, balance and harmony which will give you a much better world, a clearer world, a world at peace with your neighbors, your friends and your family. A world with order. Think of seven people, that like you, live the effects of long ago causes they don't even suspect and would like to follow the light, living in peace and harmony also. You can sow this cause. The effects will be Light in your life; you would contribute to the illumination of this world and to the Mansion of our common Father. Let's think together, how much suffering, how many errors, how many problems could be avoided if each and everyone of the people that live in your small world could receive and carry through with this message.

This message is a chain. We do not know the people that live in your world, but you do. You are already a keeper of this message and now possess the knowledge of how to use it in your life.. Write down the name of seven people. If you have followed all the instructions, if you understood and have conquered this Principle and this Law of Cause and Effect, I assure to you that you will not have any difficulty in transmitting it. They, as well, will spread it to others, and those others to others, and so on. Do not permit the pessimism that is within you to keep you from this action, nor allow thoughts that there is no one who would understand or be interested in carrying through with this. There are many who under their outer mannerisms, their looks, under the show of vanity, their pride, the types of people that know it all, people that perhaps at the beginning will tell you that they know about it, you will find those who are ready for this message. Be alert, understand! They are like us. Deep within them is the desire to learn; the need to realize and accept their mistakes and then to find their correction. So be alert in your effort; listen patiently to them; study their external appearances; then, when you sense they give you their attention. Instruct them patiently and with an understanding heart, knowing that inside those bodies there is a spirit that is eager to evolve, a spirit that does not want to fight or receive any more blows from life, that would anxiously receive the help offered.

If you are aware, if you are alert, you will be effective; you will be preparing a better world. Nor will you talk nonsense again like the person down at a coffee shop criticizing the mistakes of this world. No, you will not have the time for this, for any criticism. You will be, either a man or woman, a doer. You will be a person capable of changing circumstances in your world and of that around you. You will stop being the type of person that only criticizes and creates only conditions to receive more blows. My friend, being that we ourselves have thrown dirt in the past, now we have to clean up this world of our making. It is also in your hands to get it dirtier and live in filth if that is your desire. But with this Principle you have the possibility to start your cleaning, and what is of most importance, not mess up your world ever again. You can make of your life either heaven or hell. You choose. In this moment you are awake and alert, and you have your free will, so you can decide. We have done so before you, now it is your turn. You can too, you can.

When we did these Principles we too doubted (at first) as to our capabilities, thinking we wouldn't be able to understand and carry through with the actions, nor be able to transmit the material to others. In my own situation, I even thought that in order to re-transmit these teachings I would have to turn myself into a radio broadcaster and would need to go to a university to learn how to give speeches. But one day I understood that if I can talk well or not, that if I try to transmit this to someone, and this someone is like me, a human being with problems and happiness, with struggles and a will to evolve, this person would understand me and would not criticize me for my presentation. First we were willing to try, then we learned, then we dared. Venture it my friend, it is your life, it is not the life of somebody else. I know we are used to receiving the blows life dishes out, even further, our pessimistic side has turned us into hard and thick skinned people that can receive many blows and not feel them very much. We wake up in the morning and are not surprised anymore when we start receiving them, but deep inside of us we say...enough, enough. The time to do something about it is now, now is the time to act, to build up the courage and the enthusiasm needed, to get the strength and move forward with it.

The cosmic teachers will guide you step by step, as they have guided all that were willing to progress and advance, as a mother would help a child when he wants to do the homework, as you would help anybody willing to try. I trust in you, my friend. I trust in your kindness; I trust in the creating spark that vibrates in you. I trust in your knowing how to do this.

Read this message as many times as you want and do not forget that the key parts are the idea, the emotion, and your action, your mind, the heart, and the body have to function all together. Never do anything against your emotions. Never do anything against your mind, for it will bring conflict and then the stronger force will arrive. Collect the other Principles because they are closely related to the Law of Cause and Effect. Make this the most important matter in your life. Make this your primary goal. If you do this you'll "make it."

THE PRINCIPLE OF HARMONY

Why do we have problems? Why do we struggle? Why can't we do things right? Why doesn't everything come out perfect instead of all the problems? Why, even with all the efforts, struggles and the good intentions we place in this life and our daily actions, we still don't have the peace and harmony, the tranquillity and well-being that we so much long for? I am certain that you have asked yourself these questions more than once. The reasons are many and in each case they are different. Even so, the fundamental reason is that we live outside the law. In a world of order in a perfect universe, human beings have their place. You have your place, and your life is governed by laws and principles, even though you are not aware of them. Peace, balance, harmony and well-being are the result of the application of the laws of life. No human being, no matter how capable or intelligent, will ever be able to achieve peace, balance and harmony, unless he consciously and subconsciously applies the blessed Laws our common Creator has given us for the accomplishment of our plan of life.

One of the these Laws, and one of the most important Principles that can produce such peace, tranquillity, harmony and well-being is the fourth (of the twelve) Principle created by the Cosmos to lighten the path for all good natured human beings.

Things go well when they proceed in unison. I repeat, the Principle says: Your actions will go well when they proceed and advance as a whole, together and harmoniously. Your goals will come to fruition much easier when you try to bring them through together in harmony. Things go well when they proceed as a group. Nowadays this is one of the hardest principles to carry to fruition because of the times we live in. What can we do to put this principle into practice, to place our life into harmony and reach the desired peace, happiness and balance for the fulfillment of our Cosmic Plan?

The first obstacle that comes to mind for the realization of this Principle is to consider the education we have received. In a material world such as ours, our parents and educators have placed their effort in making us see the importance of money in our lives. They have placed excessive effort and emphasis on this part of the whole to the detriment of the other parts that are as fundamental for our well-being as the material parts.

Second, the education we received disagrees with one or another of the necessary factors needed for the fulfillment of our success and well-being. Our parents insisted in providing us with an education as physical individuals and also insisted we prepare for some profession. But if we observe our surroundings, we can see many people with high level of economic, social and professional positions who do not possess peace, harmony or a sense of well-being. This you can attest to in your life. It's true in mine and true for the people around us, differing only in degree. Let's take as an example a married man with twelve children who spends his time taking care of only two or three of them, hardly paying any attention to the rest who could get sick for lack of care, or perhaps even die. This would be a terrible disgrace for the family and cause an imbalance in the man who was not conscious of this realm of his family life. How can this person advance? If he only takes care of two or three out of his twelve children? Doesn't this sound impossible? He can have two or three children well taken care of, and perhaps they will progress in life, but think of the sadness and conflicts of these three successful children when they observe their brothers, dirty, hungry and forgotten. How could there be peace, happiness, tranquility and harmony in the life of this man and his three successful children? The education we have received from our parents is similar to the case of the married man with 12 children because it has emphasized the importance of money and a profession, while totally ignoring the other factors necessary for a life with peace, harmony, tranquility and well being.

The fourth Principle states that things in your life go well when they march together as a group, referring specifically to the fact that you will do well if your twelve children advance together, if they are well taken care of, properly nourished, each according to their needs and if all are advancing as a group. This is the fourth Cosmic Principle in gathering of Light for the individual liberation of man.

My friend, inside your small world, you also have twelve children, twelve focuses of interest. But regretfully you are conscious of only a few, while the rest do not exist in your daily struggles; the rest are not present in your consciousness so you can't tend to them, if at all, you give them part of your time. Here is one of the biggest reasons for the violation of this fourth Principle, and thus of sorrow, of problems and of the lack of the peace, happiness and tranquillity we mentioned earlier. Let's see what these twelve children are, these twelve focuses of interest within us.

Get hold of paper and pencil and draw a big circle on a sheet of paper, as big as the sheet of paper. This circle represents your family and everything that you are. This circle represents the whole of your interests, your life, and also the wheel of a carriage. Divide this circle into 4 equal parts, two diameters crossing through the middle point. Write "Myself" in one of the four parts, which is where 4 of your favorite children are living, and of which you are not very aware of. In the second part write down "My Family" where 4 more of your children are and other very important interests and of which we are also not too close to. In the third part we will have a very important center of interest for your evolution, here write "My Fellow Human Beings." In the forth part write down "My World." Now observe carefully the whole of your life, it is made of yourself, your family, your fellow-mate, and your world. It is a perfect sphere, a perfect circle divided into four parts. Now, from the center of the circle to the edge of the circumference, make a scale from 100 where the line crosses the circumference to zero in the center. Do the same for the 4 lines. Each radius will be divided into 10 parts...10, 20, 30 and so forth until 100, where it reaches the circumference.

All right, now let's work it out. Let's see, how do you rate yourself? Be impartial and objective, be reasonable and fair, for on the account of these answers most of your life will depend. From zero to one hundred, if 100 you give full attention, harmonic and perfect; zero being the minimum, the least attention you can give yourself. So, from zero to 100, what kind of attention are you giving to yourself? What is it? Zero, 10, 40, 70, or even 100? Draw a line on the number that you consider to be right for you, this is your reference point. Let's do the same regarding the attention that you place on your family, from zero to 100. Also mark the sections you marked "Fellow-Mate" in the same way. You have graded your effort, how much you try and your dedication to yourself and to your fellow human beings. Now do the last part, the one you labeled "My World," where your Creator, your nature, your work, your society, and so forth are included.

Now then, in each of the four sections, draw a curved line parallel to the circumference and at the level you graded each section. Let's see now what kind of drawing you come up with. Happiness, peace, harmony and well being should be represented by a perfect circle so it can roll with little effort, and when it rolls everything works out well. Now let's see, what you have obtained in your analysis, is it a perfect circle? Not quite, right? It could roll partially and then stop, right? OK, all right my friend, I think you understand. I see you're getting the idea of the 4th Principle. Things go well when they march together, harmoniously. This does not mean that the focus of your interest has to be 100% in each of the parts of your life, it could be 20%. For example: draw a circle surrounding the four radiuses at the 20 level of the four sections you have been working with. Now, isn't this a perfect circle, a wheel that would have no trouble rolling? Isn't it a wheel that can produce harmony? Very well, I think you understand, I think that you clearly see, at least in a graphic way, the reason why the 4th Principle is one of the most important ones that rule human happiness - things go well when they march together, harmoniously.

What can we do to accomplish this and which are the obstacles that are in our way? First, visualize in your mind, for 49 days, this drawing you made; when you wake up and when you go to bed, twice a day, every day. You must be relaxed for 5 minutes, then shut your eyes and project the circle of your life onto your mental screen. Look at it in its 3 parts, the small circle at the 20 level you drew last, the other pseudo-circle, which is the representation of your life today (and has trouble rolling) and the other at 100%. Visualize the 4 parts for your world, your family, your fellow human beings and yourself...all rolling together. When you do this, breathe deeply and slowly, wish from the deepest part of your heart that the pseudo-circle will adjust to form a perfect circle, allowing you to move closer to the fulfillment of your perfect harmony.

The largest obstacle that you will find on your way to harmony and the fulfillment of the 4th Principle will be "your habits, what you are used to doing." You see, my friend, we are used to doing things our individual ways and dedicate time to the activities we prefer the most. We have to admit that what we like is not always what is best for us and others close to our life stream. Therefore, we have to apply our duty on the one side and balance it with our "preferred ways" on the other side, allowing us to change the ways that are leading us into a life lacking in balance and harmony. These "habits" I refer to are the "I have so much work to do,""So many things undone in the house, family,""appointments, etc.," Right? You know the routine. These are the things that asphyxiate our lives, everything is a pressure between us and our world! "I don't have any time left to dedicate to my fellow human beings, nor to my family and even less to myself.""From morning to night I work, I come home tired, and I need quiet to clear my mind.""I don't have time and I don't feel like doing anything." You recognize these comments, don't you? The pressures for material things are overwhelming. This is one of the responses that one hears every day in relation to the wheel of harmony, the wheel of the 4th Principle; and even though I know this is true, my friend, I also know that if you are able to wake up to the desire of balance, peace, tranquillity and harmony within your essence, you will be able to do it.

You can have all the necessary strength to start eliminating the ways that lead you to be careless or being inactive towards those extremely important parts of your evolution. Unless, that is, you are satisfied with living with nine of your children dying and only taking care of three during 90% of your time. But I consider that you are a sensible person, interested in your evolution, a person ready for this work and the effort required. Let's see what we can we do to realize our own wheel of harmony. Let's see how can we change our habits. First, for 49 days and every day at the end of the working day, you have to do a self analysis, an impartial and conscientious analysis. You must honestly observe yourself. Ask yourself this same question everyday at the end of your day, "Where did I place my highest interest today?" "Where did I place most of my attention and to what did I dedicate most of my time." Write them down. Have you given time for yourself, your family, your fellow beings or to the world? At the end of each day, make for yourself a wheel of harmony for that day. A wheel per day, a circle divided into 4 parts, with a scale of zero to 100, evaluate yourself and consider the results of your drawing. Observe yourself during 49 days by analyzing yourself at the end of each day. "To what have I dedicated today my time and effort?"

Dear friend, if you carefully follow the instructions given in this first part of this 4th Principle you will get to know yourself much better; you will be aware of where you have been placing your time and efforts. By this method you are going to be able to acknowledge the factors that influence your life, and that hold you back from your peace, success, harmony and tranquility, and from your development of this 4th Principle.

Remember, things go well when they move together as a group. What is the meaning of this? This means that after I spend the whole day working, overlooking my health, I could find myself in a hospital bed in a few days. The whole effort I put into my work will end up paying doctor's bills and for medicine. We have to give proper attention to our mates, our children, parents, friends and our own advancement. We are not an island; we cannot live alone, not taking care of the world we live in nor having a relationship with our Creator. We would not know anything regarding how our mind, spirit and physical body works. How can we expect peace, harmony and tranquillity when we disregard so many aspects that are so important to us?

My friend, we have all gone through this. You need your physical body and your balanced emotions healthy and vibrant; they are very important in life; they are the cause of creativity. A harmonious mind, without conflicts and contradictions can be a marvelous instrument in the creation of everything you want. A strong will and spirit that can control your mind, emotions and body, and balance them, can give you command of your life, perfect relations with your wife and children, with these same people with whom you have been planting your seeds of cause and from whom you hope for a harvest of good fruit. You can achieve a better and more organized world and a radiant and balanced economy. You need all of these. You just cannot continue dedicating 90% of your efforts to such a limited part of yourself and your world. This is where the secret of harmony is, the secret of balance. By the means of the daily analysis over 49 days and through the visualization of the wheel of harmony - twice a day over 49 days - you will find out and become conscious of yourself and of where you are placing your efforts.

Are you going to permit your "ways" to slowly destroy your life? Will you disregard the most important factors for your happiness and success? I know you will not! I well know that you are a careful and intelligent person. Even so, let me warn you, my friend, that this is not easy at all, no. We have done this ourselves so we can tell you, if you have the will to do it, how to accomplish it. Prepare yourself for quite a bit of effort and work. You have to do it as if you were to prepare and plant a garden that will give you fruit for quite some time. But we guarantee that it is worth it to you in the end. It is worth doing! It is worth doing because it is the key to your success, the key to your harmony, and happiness, of your well being and the well being of many other people who are a part of your world. So start, this Principle will help make your life much better.

Well then, go to a bookstore and get yourself a thick binder and place in it 120 sheets of paper. Divide this binder into the above mentioned 4 parts, each part having 30 pages. The first part will be titled "Myself," the second "My Family," the third "My Fellow Human Beings," and the last of the four "My World." This binder will represent your reflections, your goal plans, and your action plans.

Now, let's take the first part labeled "Myself". Let's divide this part into 4 parts as well. The first is "My Physical Body," the second "My strength to Do and my emotions," the third part "The Ideas to do It," and the fourth part "My Spirit - My will to do it." As you can see, my friend, here we're saying you are a physical body, an emotional body, a mental and a spiritual body. These 4 of your parts must be perfectly balanced and will require the maximum of your attention. If you are in harmony, if you are well, you can pay your full attention to your family, your work, your fellow human beings. But if you're not well, you're going to miss much in this life.

Now, do the analysis of your physical, emotional and will power "habits". Ask yourself the following questions: "Are my ways tending towards harmony" in the physical part; which are my "habits" that harm me? Write them all down. What could I do to improve my physical health. Then go to the emotional part. What wears down my strength? What wears down my emotions? Anger, upsetting situations, jealousy? etc, etc. Which are my emotional ways that wear down my strength? What can I do, which new ways can I improve my emotions? Let's go now to the mental part and ask yourself the same questions. Record and review your answers with interest and care, identifying which are negative thoughts that bother and hold you down. Which positive thoughts do you have that could form into habits until a new mental equilibrium is accomplished? In the next section let's cover spirituality, ask "what is my level of will?""What can I do to develop a stronger will?" "Which are the habits that undermine my will?""Under what conditions do I not express will?"

My friend, I'm going to share with you a secret that will help you reach a perfect equilibrium between your wanting, your knowing, your strength and your doing. Stop doing all the things you like and start doing everything you dislike. Surprising, isn't it! This exercise will help you to develop your will by renouncing every physical, mental and spiritual thing you like; it is the key to obtain a very strong will that will allow you to reach harmony between your wanting, knowing and doing.

Now let's go to the section called "my family" and lets work in the same manner. Write down all your responsibilities to your parents, your brothers and sisters, wife and children. Record their names and ask yourself "are my habits with each of these persons building or maintaining harmony between us?" "Which new habits could I develop with the strength of my will in order to improve our relations and comply with my responsibilities to these people?"

Next section: Relationships with your fellow human beings. Write down the names of every person you have contact with every day, ask yourself the same questions as above, and work to make your adjustments.

Now the section we call "my word," divide into four parts, "my duty with nature,""my duty towards my fellow beings,""my duties towards my own activities," and "my duties to my Creator." Again ask the same questions; "are my habits building harmony?""Where do I have conflicts?""What do I do that damages the harmony in my relations?" "Am I fulfilling my duties, what more can I do?""What new habits could I develop to improve in all departments of my life?" My friend, by asking yourself these questions and then analyzing the answers will allow you to set new goals and identify your purpose. From here it is not difficult to define your life plan, the one purpose for your life. Record the things you have to do and classify them by their priority into Urgent, Important and Needed columns. Now you will have a more complete and clear picture of your life plan. Allow me to warn you, unless you do all the work described previously and unless you have the courage to be impartial and subjective with yourself, you will not be ready to take care of yourself.

Keep in mind that you are the center of this circle. Therefore, your answers must be honest and sincere in describing all your habits or "ways" that can disturb or take away the harmony from your life. And work most of all in the relationship between your will, your desires, your knowing, your mind, your emotions, and your physical body. You must accomplish control and self discipline, self correction of yourself, your emotions, and your mind. You are not your physical body, you are not your emotions, you are not your mind, you are not your thoughts. You are the Life Spirit that possesses the power and the will of its Creator. This is the great key for yourself to become harmonized; try it.

Get yourself a drawing sheet, with the following dimensions: 24 inches in length by 18 in width. Draw in it at maximum size your wheel of harmony. First divide the circle into 4 parts, that is 4 radius lines starting from the center. Then, on the part dedicated to yourself, draw 4 more radius lines dividing it into 4 equal parts: one for your mind, one for your will, another for your mind and emotions, and the last one for your physical body. Do the same with the rest of the distributions on the rest of the circle.

The zero point is the center and the circumference is 100. After you have structured your binder and have completed your analysis, after you have clarified clearly in your mind what are the things holding you back from reaching the light, once you have it quite clear about what is it that you have to do in each department of your life, and once you have it organized according to a scale of values from the most urgent to the most necessary, you will draw your own scale inside the circle. Then you will have a map; a guide and a vision to meditate on every day, to visualize daily for many months of work.

My dear friend, this is not made for the lazy, nor for those used to failure. This work is for the people who are awake to their reality, that have realized that their lives can be lost to them. Days seem to go by in less time than we can blink an eye. If one has a sick physical body, that person would lack the physical strength to do anything. Without emotional strength there would be not enough courage to start new goals nor carry through with previous ones. Under these conditions, the mind has trouble holding positive thoughts, it tends to dwell on the negative and helping the suffering along. Then your consciousness tends to become dormant. My friend, days go by fast, this I can guarantee you. Your negative habits harm you just the same. I mean, the habits that damage your life from the relations with your family, your work, your neighbors, and your friends. Everyday they consolidate and crystallize even more within your system, and every day that passes it becomes harder and harder to change them. Things go well when they march as a group. Remember, your goals will be fulfilled if you dedicate the same effort to all of them and to each as well. It is not important if you do not reach the 100% mark. If you first harmonize them at 10, then at 20, 30, 40 and so on, but always in a way that can last, but together in harmony, peace and balance.

It is a matter of starting. First, correct the easiest habits to change, by doing this you will learn. Do you think you are ready? Yes, you are going to go though with this 4th Principle. I foresee it and think you will be able to carry it through. So I am going to give to you a very important key to use in changing your habits.

Relax, shut your eyes, and visualize yourself on your mental screen. Visualize one of your "ways" that you detest the most. Let's suppose that you are used to jumping in anger when furious. Visualize yourself on your mental screen with somebody talking to you, and that you are starting to get angry; then visualize yourself shouting, screaming and fighting. Feel this anger towards the person that is with you, that has caused this anger in you; feel the violence. Watch yourself as you start calming down as a result of your "will". Visualize on your mental screen the orders you are giving yourself, see your face muscles relaxing and starting to smile as you say you're sorry. "Wish" to do it, wish it from the deepest part of your heart that this reaction of yours will change.

Repeat this exercise for 7 days, and do the same with each of your habits. Remember, always feel repulsed towards the habit you wish to change. Put your best effort into this desire from your soul to become the person that you are projecting onto your mental screen. See yourself being the calm and serene person instead of the person with the nasty habit you want to eradicate from your life. Do it in relation to your physical, mental, emotional and will bodies, and then in relation to your spouse, your children, your work. You can, through this system, build a new you, a new you in harmony that will be born from the rubble of the individual you now are.

My friend, we have traveled this road, we have been able to accomplish this too, so we know you will also be able to do it. We not only have done it but are fulfilling our agreement with those who have preceded us by transmitting to you this same system of bringing your life into harmony. You have all possibilities open to you. No obstacle can delay your evolution towards the acquisition of this Principle, towards peace and towards Harmony if you will it.

Now then, what I have left to tell you, my friend, is the price. Yes, the price, for everything has a price. This is not a price in currency, but a formal promise on your part; the promise of an adult and mature person that has respect for his word. The promise is to transmit and teach this principle to the 7 people closest to you. Teach them the secrets of harmony through this 4th Principle. Things go well when they march together. Among your goals, set this one up among the others you have already identified, the goal to teach the wheel of harmony to 7 people of your liking, so then they can as well transmit the procedure to some other seven close to them. This way we will be creating a better world, a world in harmony, a world in light, the same world conceived by our common Creator.

Thank you, my vibration will be with you even though I do not know you. Each individual who makes an effort to carry through with the Laws and Principles is part of the Cosmic Plan, is with us, and is one of us.

May you receive the blessings from our common Creator, may you receive the Light, and may He provide you with courage and strength to start this important change in your life. Thank you.

Good morning, friend. You are my life companion, a companion on the path, a struggling companion, and I greet you as such! In the name of all the people of the eons, centuries and ages, the people that have received this message and have reflected and meditated, and decided to carry it through in their lives. In the name of all of these people I greet you.

My friend, can you mentally review everything that has happened in your life during the past week? Isn't it true that you have experienced pleasant and unpleasant times? Isn't it true that you have enjoyed certain happy occasions, and as well somewhat sad ones, or adverse situations, and just about everything else. And it is the same for everybody, you see...this life has everything, everything a mind can imagine; its full of all kinds of experiences.

We live in a dual planet under the Law of Polarity. Everything is made of two parts. Good and bad. Hot and cold. Hunger and satisfaction. To be alone or to have company. To be sad or to be happy. To feel vigorous or tired. Good mood or bad mood. To tell the truth or lie. To opt for right or wrong, the real or the illusion, the wanting to do and the act of doing and so forth. Our entire life is made of these dualities or polarities.

Now then, how do you respond to these experiences? What happens to you when you come across an unfortunate situation? How do you face it? Are you afraid? We all are! Afraid of criticism, afraid of loneliness, fear of lacking things. Fear of being rejected, of failure, sickness, old age, and death. Many fears are located in the deepest part of our hearts. We also want things; we desire things. We have all kinds of wishes and needs. Everyday the wheel of life will put you before these situations and, according to your essence, according to your being, you are attracting that which you love and that which you fear. You try to run away from what you dislike, that which causes you pain, suffering, sadness; you look instead to that which you find pleasant, right? Yes, my friend, we are this way. But if we select from our situations those things we like and run away from those situations we fear, those that are painful, we give ourselves over to involution, or experience regression in our lives. The only result will be to go backwards into more and more of the same. Isn't it paradoxical? Think about it...and you'll see that this way will take us backwards.

You must be asking yourself if there is a way to change this situation, that is, if it is possible for the wheel of life to bring us only whatever we like. No, my friend, this is not possible. The wheel carries everything we need in this life; it has everything in its dual form for us to learn from. No, its not possible my friend. So then, what is the answer you ask...My friend, we live in a Cosmos of order, in a Universe created by an intelligent Creator; and this Cosmos is governed by Laws and Principles. These are perfect Laws and wise Principles that, if a person gets to know, understand and practice them in his life, instead of falling backwards, he will simply move forward. He will experience liberation as an individual. He will free himself from the wheel of circumstances and events. This person will himself become the master of circumstances and will be capable of managing himself when facing any situation that shows itself in his life

The fifth of the twelve Principles for the liberation of man is the appropriate principle to handle the so much desired liberation of the person, plus the control over himself and towards all other circumstances in life. The Principle states the following: "If the dualities (good-bad, up-down, etc.) that life presents you do not bother or upset your life, you have overcome life's contradictions." I repeat, the fifth Principle states:"If the dual nature of this life is not an obstacle to you in life, you have overcome its contradictions." What is the precise meaning of this? What is the meaning of night and day, and the summer and winter being right or wrong for you? It simply means that if you can adjust and feel well to night and day, to hot and cold, to summer and winter, to hunger or not, to be alone or not, to be with or without money, in any occasion, and that you can remain firm and in control, no matter what the occasion, you will have already overcome the contradictions of life.

I can hear you wondering...Why do we have to overcome the contradictions? Because a person full of contradictions has not overcome these situations, has not balanced them, simply put is going backwards, or at least not advancing in his life. This person is trapped in a vicious circle.

What is a contradiction? It is when your mind knows that something must be done, and your emotions will not do it. This is a contradiction. It is when in your emotional center you feel like doing something but your mind knows that you should not do it. This struggle is known as a contradiction. It is like having in front of you a delicious dish, but in your mind you have made the decision to eat less and should not take it. Here you have a contradiction between the mind and the body. We are basically made of three centers, plus a will. We have a physical body; a body of desires, an emotional body where our power and strength is; a mental body where we have the thoughts and ideas, our goals; and the will, more or less strong according to the individual. The contradiction arises when the will, the conscious part of you, knows that something must be done, and any of the other centers refuses to do it. This is a contradiction. Your needs are in your mind. That which you love and fear is in your emotions. Your physical body is used to tastes and feelings, and it is ruled by five senses: taste, smell, touch, vision and hearing. And these five senses turn into sex, which is the sixth sense. These six senses connect you with the world about you. Your emotional center, which is somewhat impulsive, is the one that produces fear in you and your mind, which carries all the ideas and thoughts you have received since you started learning, participates with your other parts. You have constant clashes between your mind, your emotions, your body, and your will. This is the area of your contradictions.

This fifth Principle is saying that if you're able to balance the polarities, the dualities, that life throws at you in your daily life experiences; if you can adapt to them, simply put, you are able to overcome your contradictions and are on your way to become a free person. When a person remains unable to overcome his contradictions, between his body, mind, emotions, and his will towards a common end, this person has not yet arrived at his liberation and needs to work in this area.

My friend, we all have contradictions. We are all full of them, but in itself this is not the problem. The problem is not to be aware that we have them; the problem is if we can wake up to them, to realize that contradictions are a part of this life, that they exist so that we can learn what to do about them. Let's look at these contradictions and see what they're made of. What is day and night? Why do we understand them to be different? Get a stick, any stick. Hold it in your hand at one end, you choose; call one night and the other day. The whole stick is 24 hours. One end can be called cold, the other hot, and in the middle it is warm. One end could be the light, the other darkness, and in the middle, twilight. At one end you could have pleasure and in the other pain, and so on. Now, this stick which represents all things also has each end representing one of the centers within us. The day could be your mind, while the night could be your emotions, and the body the middle point. Think about this, for it is extremely important for your understanding and for you to later master this fifth Principle. Remember, to go forward you will have to overcome your contradictions. Our mind has its part in our dualities, we think about comfort, wealth, love; we think about success; we think about kindness. All of these extremes are in our minds, but our emotional center has something different that it contributes to our contradictions. It thinks in terms of fear, of failure, sickness, being unable to pay the bills, the spouse might run away, children are not learning, I might be fired from work, and on, and on, and on. There are thousands and thousands of bits of information in your mind, and all of them are extremes; thousands of ideas in your emotions and they also are all extremes too. And then there are thousands, of habits, all mixed within your physical body, bringing out your tendencies. This information or data, which resides in your emotional center is female in nature. The information that resides in your mind is male. To conciliate, or balance, the contradictions between the two is to marry them so they can give birth to a child which would be the harmony with both, and in this way you will have overcome a contradiction. How do you do this? Let's assume that in a given moment you were sad; try to remember such a moment and hold it in your mind. Let's see how the fifth Principle can help us with this instead of just feeling sad and miserable. If you think of your stick, you'll see that on the opposite side of sadness is happiness; automatically your feeling of sadness will be changed into something between the two, overcoming the original contradiction. If over and over, and for each time you have the tendency to feel sad, or any other extreme, you do this, you will overcome your contradictions. This is how the great secret of the fifth Principle and the principle of liberation helps you to adjust to your inner life. You must adapt.

My friend, I repeat, don't be worried by the fact that you are full of contradictions. On the contrary, for the more contradictions a person carries, the wealthier that person is. A large amount of mental information carried by a person means that person has had many experiences in life, giving him a wealth of experience stored in his mental, emotional and physical centers. Such a person is wealthy. The opposite has to also be true - few experiences, little information stored in the centers yielding few contradictions makes that person poor. A person, to achieve liberation, must have complete self control, a full control of circumstances within his/her little world by having overcome all contradictions.

This work which we're outlining for you in this fifth Principle can last you many years. This is not a job for a few days, nor for failures; this is a task for people who don't want to continue the way they are now. It is for those who want to experience evolution, who want to become better people, better citizens, better parents, better husbands, better friends, better companions, and have in them a strong desire to learn, to act and to evolve. It is for people who are tired of swinging like a pendulum between joy and sadness, failure and accomplishment, fighting and agreements, of feeling well today and indisposed tomorrow. The wild mood swings that life seems to throw at us is not for those who want to understand the laws that govern duality, our polarities, the wild pendulum swings of life.
