Cause and Effect
This says that under the same conditions you will always get the same
results. One example is that all planets have a certain amount of
gravity. Another is that with gravity all liquid seeks the lowest point
possible.
Patterns
Patterns take into consideration the ideas of cause and effect. A
pattern is something that happens under similar conditions more then anything
else will happen.
In other words, you cut yourself and you will bleed. It usually doesn’t
matter where or how you cut yourself. The end result is you will
bleed.
Every aspect of life is based on patterns. Everything that exists will
tend to act the same or a similar way under a similar set of conditions.
Using this idea everything can be predicted with in a reasonable
degree of accuracy. Just beware of instances where you don’t know all the
conditions, or that you think you know all the conditions. In this
instance you can find the results quite surprising.
The Elements
This takes the idea of the cross into consideration. Everything has
potential to move one way or another. An element is anyway in which it is
possible to interact with the world around us.
Power
To obtain true power and influence or control the world around us a person
must understand the world around us. To understand the world around us we
must first be able to control and influence ourselves. To control or
influence ourselves we must be able to understand ourselves. Following
this idea once we fully understand ourselves there is nothing we can’t
accomplish.
It is my hope with this work that if nothing else we can finally
understand what it means to be human. If we can’t have that, there is
nothing.
