Re-education
can be turned into guidance
by your soul, using the art of
polarization. An empty bank
account can be transformed in a
full bank account. We just need
to polarize our consciousness
differently. A person who is run
by the emotional body needs
to become polarized in their
mental body. A person who
is identified with their mental
body or intellectual self may
need to become polarized to the
soul. A person merged with soul
will need to become polarized to
the monad. A person merged in
the monad will need to become
polarized to God. All varying
degrees of the same thing.
The Principle of Rhythm

This law stated above, we see
manifesting in every aspect
of our lives. We see it in the
tides of the oceans. We see it
in our need for sleep after a
day of work. We see it in the
54 | we tell the true afrikan story
creation of a star and sun and its
eventual collapse. We see this
law operating in the rise and
fall of nations, and even in the
operation of the omniuniverse.
For every action there is an
opposite and equal reaction.
We see this in our breathing, and
we see it in the way God breathes.
God breathes out creation and
then He breathes in creation.
We see this in the movement
of stars and in the science of
astrology. As the earth moves
through the different signs of
the zodiac. We also see this law
operating in the mental states
of man, where the Hermetic
practitioner finds its greatest
and most useful application. The
Hermetists apply the mental law
of neutralization.
The Hermetist cannot annul or
cause this principle to cease
operation, however, they have
learned to escape its effects
upon themselves to a certain
degree. The degree to which
this is obtained depends upon
one’s application of this law and
upon one’s level of initiation at
later stages.
Hermetists have learned how
to use this law instead of being
used by it. The Hermetist’s
understanding the previous law
of polarity, polarizes himself at
the point at which he desires to
rest, and then neutralizes the
rhythmic swing of the pendulum
which would tend to carry him
to the other pole. I am speaking
of this now on the mental and
emotional level.
The Master does this by the
use of will and detachment to
create a state of consciousness
that is not swung backwards or
forward like a pendulum. The
masses of humanity live on a
mental and emotional roller
coaster. The ideal is to attain a
state of consciousness of divine
