Principles to understand the world and live by

[DarkFictionParticipant 71]

The following material is based on the works of Mark Passio and various writers too many list. Fragments of the material have been taken from the presentation, but most of the text below is my own interpretation and summary. As a de-occultist Marc uses a lot of occult symbology and language, which I have omitted from this text for the sake of brevity. However, if you spend any time thinking about what I written below you will soon find a host of academic occult concepts.

Since I have been offered the figurative Red Pill by this community, in return I would like you to see how deep the blue pilling goes. There’s a whole different seminar, which concentrates on the deliberate lies and falsehoods of the New Age movement. It’s very interesting, because a lot of feminists and other “progressives” draw inspiration from the New Age movement. However, before we get into that can of worms I would like to introduce you to a few core concepts that I’m sure you will find interesting.

Let’s begin with the basics.

The non-aggression and self-defense principles

I live in a world that is real and I accept the world as it is around me. I work every day to change the world around me, because I want to make this a better world for those people that I care about. I subscribe to both the non-aggression and the self-defense principles. I will not engage in violence against you, but if you attack me, then I will respond with force – including deadly force – when necessary.

The non-aggression principle can be summed up with a single sentence: don’t take what isn’t yours. Don’t take life, property or rights that aren’t yours. Respect the free will and rights of other people. Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you.

The self defense principle states that sentient beings have the inherent right to use force to defend themselves from violence conducted upon them by another.

The Principle of Mentalism

The All is Mind. The Universe is Mental. Thoughts lead to the manifestation of things and events. Thoughts create our state of existence and the quality of our experience here on Earth. Therefore, be responsible for everything you create by being responsible for everything that you think.
Basically what this means is that if you think of something as difficult and complex then it becomes difficult and complex to you regardless of how another person perceives it. Moreover, if you explain something simple to another person in an overly complex and convoluted way they are much more likely to think that it is complex and difficult. How we perceive the world is affected by what we think about the world. More importantly the quality of our existence on this earth is affected by our thoughts. If you concentrate on the negative experiences then you are going to find more negative aspects, while consciously or subconsciously dismissing positive aspects – regardless of how many negative or positive aspects you encounter in reality.
Our thought processes are behind everything we create. We should be responsible for how we think, because our creative processes are driven by our own beliefs. Our thoughts and emotions drive our actions. Conversely, if you want to change your behavior then start with your emotions and thoughts. If you want to change the reality that you live in then the work begins from within you. Changing the way you think changes the way you perceive reality. Changing the way you perceive the world changes reality for you.

The Principle of Correspondence

That which is above is like to that which is below. That which is below is like to that which above. That which is very large is governed by the same laws as that which is very small. In a more practical sense this means that the same laws that govern large entities or groups also govern the individual. Conversely, the large is a reflection of the small, and the small is a reflection of the large. Mind you, I say reflection of, not identical to. The fact that I come to the MGTOW forums on a regular basis means that I find similarities, or reflections, of myself on these forums. I am naturally drawn to that which is similar to myself and functions with the same mechanics that I function with. Not in totality, but in a significant enough part where the community as a whole is a reflection upon myself.

To understand the workings of the individual will lead you to understand the group as a whole. Similarly to understand the workings of the group will help to understand the workings of the individual. Having said that we are not all that this group is, nor is this group all that we are, so don’t get your boxers or briefs in a bunch over that one. On the other hand by bringing ourselves to this group as authentic individuals we shape the group, and the group shapes us. Of our own free will a connection is created, which ties the macro to the micro and the micro to the macro.

The Principle of Vibration

Nothing rests. Everything moves. Everything vibrates. At the most fundamental level, the Universe and everything which comprises it is pure vibratory energy, which manifests itself in different ways. There is no true solidity to the Universe. Matter is simply energy that vibrates in a way that can be physically interacted with. This whole experience that we are having right now is therefore spiritual. If you touch a physical object you are interacting with energy in a way that is both comfortable and expected. If you try to touch the air that you are breathing then you will find it a very different kind of experience. Yet both are merely energy that is vibrating in a specific way. If you can perceive the difference then you can perceive that you yourself are nothing but a complex energy-form that is vibrating. It therefore follows that consciousness is also energy, which you can either grow by bettering yourself through living in the real world or suffocate by turning inwards and attempting to silence everything around yourself.

The Principle of Polarity

Everything is dual. Everything has poles. Everything has it pair of opposites. Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree. Extremes meet. All paradoxes are reconciled. To clarify that language a bit let us look at temperature. Are hot and cold simply the the presence or absence of heat energy? Again we return to energy. The concentration of energy in a specific area makes it hot, while the absence of said energy makes it cold. We perceive them as different through our senses, but if you look at it from an energy standpoint what is the real difference? Presence or absence of energy. Not that different after all.

Why is this significant? Extremes can be blended. You can take a person apply both logical and emotional characteristics to them. They will remain a functional person even, if they are at the same time analytically calculative and emotionally driven. This flies in the face of modern concepts, which usually start with “you can’t X, if you are Y”. We as human beings are incredibly complex and capable of managing opposite extremes within ourselves, if we simply don’t listen to the public narrative that tries to drown out this simple truth. We can find a comfortable middle ground that is specifically suitable to the individual, even if it is not accepted by a larger group.

The Principle of Rhythm

A lot of people say and think: well that’s just the way things seem to be. There’s nothing to be done about it, and you shouldn’t waste your energy fighting against the inevitable. The principle of rhythm states that there is a tendency for something to swing a certain way, but it doesn’t mean that that is absolute truth. As a simple analogy, if you are attempting to do something and the general public opinion is against you then you are going to experience a lot more resistance. If you do something that follows general public opinion then you will experience acceptance and support by expending a lot less effort.

Simple concept, right? Right now the tendency is that women are being given all sorts of preferential treatment and men are being systematically oppressed, but very few people want to talk about it. Even talking about the topic creates a very powerful backlash no matter who is doing the talking. The pendulum is swinging against the rights and well-being of men. It doesn’t mean that we can’t force the pendulum to swing the other way, but it takes more effort – more willpower – to make the pendulum to swing the other way.

The Principle of Cause and Effect

Every Cause has an Effect. Every Effect has a Cause. Everything happens according to the same laws that govern our existence, and we can’t escape those laws. If you say that something happened because of chance then you are simply pointing to a law that you don’t understand. There are many ways to examine cause and effect, but nothing escapes it.

The important thing to take away from this is that not every effect can be immediately linked to a cause, and vice versa. Sometimes there is a delay and you can’t immediately connect the two, but the connection is still there. Sometimes you simply have to stop and take a closer look before you understand what is happening around me. It drives me to frustration when people simply jump to assumptions or throw up their hands at the first sign of complexity. We live in an incredibly complex universe where everything is interconnected from the macro to the micro, but some people just want to close their eyes and walk around blindfolded.

You are free will to do as you wish, but you cannot escape the effects of your actions. You can break the principles that I discuss in this text, but there will always be a consequence. It is up to you to recognize that consequence or suffer in ignorance.

The Principle of Gender

We are talking about mental gender here. The Left Brain Hemisphere largely facilitates masculine aspects (logic, analytical, and linear thought processes), while the right brain hemisphere largely facilitates the feminine aspect, or intuition (creative, compassionate and holistic thought processes).

Imbalance of one hemisphere or the other is equally undesirable. Balance between the two creates a whole and healthy human being that can operate within the world without too many extra obstacles. It’s easiest to explain this by showing you an image. Warning: you will probably be triggered by this image, so view at your own discretion. Schism of the mind

Principle 8: the lost principle

This is the encapsulating principle. See also “the seed of life”. Without this principle no real change can really happen. It is called the generative principle. It is the causal factor that generates everything that we have worked towards up until now. It has a different name as well: care. This is not the same as compassion or love. In this instance “care” can be summed up in a question: what you giving attention and helping to grow? What are you focusing on? That is going to be generated and created.

A lot of people will now tell you that to focus on negative aspects means that they will grow disproportionately. No! If you spend all of your time trying to ignore the negative aspects of your life you are assuring that more of it occurs. You are creating ignorance.

Instead think of care as an important part of your life. This is what you are focusing on. This is what matters to you. This is what will change, because you are willing to make the change within you that will eventually be generated and reflected in the world around you.

Care – knowledge – action.
