*

The human soul carries the code and patterns of the universe in meaning and appearance.

*

All opposites have their roots in the one source from which they emanate and to which they return.

*

There is a ceaseless interplay between all opposites in creation. All opposing principles or energies are never apart and each contains the germ of the other.

*

Understandable causal connections and reasons lie hidden behind every difficulty and conflict. With insight, order will be discerned within chaos and perfection within what was judged as imperfect.

*

Gold is purified by blazing fire and the self by wordly affliction and constriction.

*

It is darkest before dawn. Anything which reaches its maximum limit will only turn to its opposite.

*

Enlightenment is to witness perfection within every situation.

*

It is only the wise who are constantly awed by the realisation of how immensely sublime every situation is, how glorious every moment is, how shattering god's presence is.
