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.
It is impossible for two things to join in ___________ or discord without the
presence of a _________________, for a 'BOND' must exist to _________________
them, and this ___________________ is OBJECTIVELY OBSERVED in its relation to
____________________. -- Summum
It is the influence of the rule of ________________ on the objective observer
which causes _________________ to ascribe to Creation human ________________,
feelings and characteristics. This depiction of Creation is the natural
_______________ held within every cell of your body ________________ from the
evolution of the race
The objective observer, bound by the rule of _____________ in the examination
of the existent universe, discovers both an organized universe and a universe
in chaos, rational and irrational numbers, beauty and ugliness, _________ and
hate, pleasure and pain, _______________ and discord, sanity and ___________,
truth and falsity.
This harmony is viewed within ________________ and the universe as THE DIVINE
______________________. Although the proportions seem to be ________________
in NATURE, they are not. The only reason they seem fixed is because they are
__________________ within the observer's mind.
Time and lengths, _______________ and mass are all altered in proportion when
the body concerned is in motion relative to the observer. In other words,
moving bodies appear to be ____________________ in terms of their shape, size
and speed, depending on your viewpoint. Apparent increase of ____________ in
swiftly moving particles has been observed.
The Divine Proportion, is also known as the ______________ ____________, Phi,
the _____________ Ratio, the _______________ Series, etc.
The Divine Proportion can be found throughout this universe; from the
_____________ of galaxies to the swirls of _____________; from the harmony of
_____________ to the very physical nature of Creation.
The states of ______________________, insanity, and chaos in the universe are
observations of states seemingly opposed to the accepted Divine
__________________.
The masters are not bound by these ________________ which restrict the normal
human being. For they have set themselves _____________ from the lower law of
a single viewpoint and observe existence from a ___________________ viewpoint
within the same moment. The masters freely observe SUMMUM ________________ by
the constraints of the fixed mind.

RESEARCH EXERCISE
Using the Systematic Law of Learning, apply the following Principles.
1. Using the Principle of Proportion examine the segments of a line which is
divided at any point between the two ends.
a. Write a description of the relationship in numbers to the lengths of
the proportions.

2. Using love and hate as extremes, examine like and dislike to see how they
can have a relationship with proportion. Create a mental situation where
you like or dislike someone. Move yourself from dislike to like and visa
versa. Establish a scale of numbers for your degrees of like and dislike
with beginning in the middle. +1 would be like and -1 would be dislike.
a. Write a description of the proportions you come up with.
