According to Hermetic philosophy, which is summed up nicely in the Kybalion, a 1908 work written by “the Three Initiates” (speculated by some to be William Walker Atkinson), one of the seven principles of nature, otherwise known as the Seven Hermetic Principles, is the principle of polarity. Everything can be seen from two perspectives and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 141: Hermetic Principles of Polarity & Gender

500 WORDS, DAY 132: Dual Nature
We live in a world of duality, where everything has a certain degree of polarity. As human beings living in this world, we are not separate from it, but a part of it. W are one with nature, since we are really no different from the rest of it. We have our own polarity, and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 132: Dual Nature
500 WORDS, DAY 120: The Importance of Balance
Balance is really one of the most important things we can learn and practice in this life, if not the most important thing, since it applies to absolutely everything. Everything, and I really do mean absolutely everything, has to be balanced. Not everything is, but everything should be, in order for some degree of order … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 120: The Importance of Balance
500 WORDS, DAY 97: A More Individualistic World
We really do live in a time that is very different than any other time before it. Of course, no second is equal, and life and the world are constantly changing, but what I mean by this time being really different than any previous time in history is that there is so much that is … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 97: A More Individualistic World
500 WORDS, DAY 87: What is Normal? What is God?
I wonder if I’ll ever feel normal. I wonder if I ever did. It’s easy to say I did… but then again, it’s easy to say I never did. What am I even talking about? Does normal even exist? If I said it doesn’t, that would make sense on one level, because we all operate … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 87: What is Normal? What is God?

DAY 29 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
The days pass and everything changes like the year's seasons. We search for meaning but things happen seemingly without reason. We laugh and we cry and we try our best to forget the fact that we were born to die. We were born to die but we were also born to live. We were born … Continue reading DAY 29 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
DAY 20 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
Life. I feel like whenever I sit down and start to write, whenever I want to get something important written down, not anything specific but just something important and deep, the word "life" always pops into my mind first. I guess it's because I'm always contemplating life in general, and it's cool but scary how … Continue reading DAY 20 (1000 WORDS, 3rd attempt)
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 76: Mistakes Are For Us to Learn From.
Life is the opposite of death, yet it includes it. The nighttime forms part of the day's 24 hours, yet is the opposite of daytime. The best feeling of satisfaction contains the experience of all the suffering which preceded it, of all the past longing for it, without which it wouldn't be half as profound … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 76: Mistakes Are For Us to Learn From.
