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.
