If a thing is composed of two or more units, it is not Eternal. May I ask, does anyone see this statement as true? Trying to keep it simple.

What is temporary is the form that is created by the two or more things. All form in the physical universe eventually changes or loses its shape. As old as the earth, sun and universe itself is, their form constantly changes shape and will eventually disappear only to take another form in the future.

All matter which creates form is made of wavelengths and these wavelengths are made of an unknown creative force which I call Purpose. When the three parts of the wavelength are stilled it appears that there is nothing, but there is still a creative something unknown to our science.

Even though all form (which is created by various wavelengths in relation to each other) is temporary, the idea which creates them is not.

The idea of a cube is eternal and without change, but when manifested as a child's toy block it does change and eventually break down and disintegrate. But because the idea behind the cube is eternal it will incarnate infinite times in the future.

You are also an idea in the mind of God and as such eternally manifest somewhere, even though your form is in a state of change.

Dan writes, first quoting me:

Now let us continue our discussion of Principles and laws. As we do so there will be occasions when they will be spoken of almost as being synonymous. Why? Because natural laws are built on principles and are two arms of the great duality of creation.

The principle is the great mystery that reveals how things work (female) and the natural law is a description of the principle in action (male): - http://www.freeread.com/archives/1097.php

Regarding the sentence above: "Because natural laws are built on principles and are two arms of the great duality of creation."

Does this say "natural laws" form "two arms of the great duality of creation" OR that natural laws and principles form "two arms of the great duality of creation"?

The latter. The two great arms are natural laws and principles.

Dan:

Regarding this sentence: "The principle is the great mystery that reveals how things work (female) and the natural law is a description of the principle in action (male)."

What is the mediating principle formed by the interaction of the two?

The principle behind the law is an understanding of how the law works. The law is an observation of the principle at work. One can observe the law, but not understand it.

The two do not interact but are two parts that we observe and understand in creation. The principle is the invisible part that we cannot see. The laws are the effects that we can see.

Dan:

The polarities seem reversed, i.e.: seems like principle (reveals how things work) ought to be the positive and natural law (description of the principle in action) the negative force?

Seems to me like either:

a.  Principle (pos/male) interacts with matter (physical) (neg/female) to create natural law (mediating). or

b.  Principle (pos) interacts with natural law (neg) creating (physical) reality.

The understanding of a principle reveals how things work, but the observed action is the observing of a law. Action is male, stillness is female. The seen is male the unseen is female.

Dan:

I'm not sure why the idea of principle seems more primary and emanative to me than natural law, but it does.

From one way of looking at it the principle is more primary, but one must ask, what is more primary, the chicken or the egg?

On this earth the male force dominates, but in other spheres the female dominates.

You have heard the truism that behind every great man there is a woman. Even so, behind every law describing action or effects there is a principle.

Fools rush in where fools have been before.
