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 133: Life is Love, Love is Life
All that we are is a result of what we have thought. A thought is a seed, that if cultivated, can grow into a deed. Actions have reactions, and if repeated, they become habits. Habits are the fabric of our lives, they are what make up our days, and what we fill up our days … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 133: Life is Love, Love is Life
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 121: Can’t Hide From Life’s Lessons
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while then you know I’m a stoner, and have been one for a while now, and I’ve gone through many different stages of use, setting up all kinds of goals for moderation throughout the years, at times following through and at times not so much.

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 119: All You Need is Love
Love can be such a beautiful thing, but I feel like it's unfortunately severely misunderstood by society at large. I think people underestimate the power of love because it seems to many like little more than a nice concept, only a mere fantasy which hardly translates to real life, especially when it comes to romantic … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 119: All You Need is Love
500 WORDS, DAY 116: Words from a Mind
Appreciation for those who paved the way. Gratitude towards those who came before. Respecting tradition. Understanding it isn’t the end-all be-all. Some rules are meant to be broken. Things are meant to change. Change is the only constant. We need to exercise caution. There are so many ways to mess it all up. Venturing into … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 116: Words from a Mind
500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It
Time moves forward regardless of our opinions. The days are shorter and the past is fading. Every day farther away. Everyone claims to know the truth, yet we all are truly blinded, if not by one thing, then definitely by another. Illusions. Mind games. Division. Reality is too real to ignore. It isn’t healthy to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It
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?
