SUMMARY AND REVIEW
This summary, when completed with answers, gives you a comprehension of the
primary points of the chapter in the text. Fill in the blanks with words or
phrases that complete the ideas.
"The Principles of knowing __________________ are Seven; those who know these
possess the _____________ ___________ to whose touch all locked Doors open to
__________________." -- Summum
These seven great Principles will be discussed and explained at length in
this work. A short explanation of each, however, will be given at this
point, for all the ______________ of Summum have an _________________________
with each other.
"SUMMUM is MIND; the universe is a ____________________ creation."
This first great Principle embodies the idea that "All is ________________."
This living ____________ performs gastrulation, which is a turning of itself
inside out, manifesting its esoteric NATURE outwardly. Therefore, all the
phenomenal worlds and universes are simply a _______________ ________________
of SUMMUM (MIND) subject to the laws of created things, and the universes, as
a whole, and in their parts or units, have their existence in the Mind of
________________________.
"As above, so below; as below, so ____________________." -- Summum
Just as a knowledge of the principles of geometry empowers the astronomer to
measure distant suns and their movements while seated in an observatory, a
knowledge of the Principles of Correspondence empowers you to reason
intelligently from the known to the ___________________.
"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything __________________." -- Summum
This Principle embodies the idea that everything is in motion; everything
_________________; nothing is at rest; facts which science endorses and which
each new scientific discovery tends to verify.
"Everything is dual; everything has an opposing point; everything has its
pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are ______________
in nature, but different in degree; extremes bond; all truths are but
_________________ truths; all paradoxes may be __________________." -- Summum
It explains that in everything there are two opposing points or opposite
________________(complementarity), and that opposites are really only the two
extremes of the ______________ event, with many _____________ degrees between
them. To illustrate, "hot and cold," although opposites, are really the same
___________________, the differences consisting merely of degrees of the same
"______________."
"Everything flows out and in; everything has its season; all things rise and
_____________________; the pendulum swing expresses itself in everything; the
measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the
________________; rhythm _____________________." -- Summum
All things "come in and out of _____________" between the two opposing points
which exist in accordance with the Principle of Opposition described
previously. There is always an action and a ______________; an ______________
and a retreat; a rising and a ________________. This is in the affairs of the
________________, suns, worlds, _______________, animals, mind,_____________,
and matter.
"Every cause has its ___________________________; every effect has its cause;
everything happens according to Law; ______________________ is a name for Law
not recognized; there are many fields of causation, but nothing escapes the
___________ _____ _______________." -- Summum
This principle embodies the idea that there is a __________ for every effect;
and an _______________ from every cause. It explains that "everything happens
according to law"; that nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such
thing as __________; that while there are various fields of cause and effect,
the higher ____________________ the lower fields, still nothing ever entirely
escapes the Law (____________).
"Gender is in everything; everything has its ____________________________ and
______________________ principles; Gender manifests on all levels." -- Summum
The NATURE of the ___________________ of CREATION displays in this principle.
This is a fact not only of the physical level, but of the mental and even the
________________ levels. On the physical levels the Principle presents itself
as _____________; on the higher levels it takes ______________ forms, but the
Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental, or spiritual, is
________________ without this Principle.
