The  Universal Principles.  

Are you familiar with the Seven Universal Principles expressed back in human antiquity by Hermes Trimegitus?   Are you familiar with the Three Universal Laws of Thought?   If not, we highly recommend that you examine, study, and understand them.   Why?   Because understanding these Universal Laws offers you opportunities to see, hear, and to experience aspects of reality that would otherwise remain in the unnoticed shadows of your life. 

The Seven Principles of Hermes and The Three Laws of Thought are listed below along with a link the the TLC-Life-Center website that describes them in detail.   There are several additional principle that are equally as important, but are not yet listed on our other websites.   See  the Above list.

We bring them to your attention because many of them, such as The Principle of Spirals,   The Principle of Integration,  The Principal of Abundance and the The Principle of the Blended Being are among of the most ignored universal laws, and humanity is paying a very heavy price for its ignorance and/or its apathy.  We'll briefly describe them on this page.

This incredibly important scientific truth
is being completely ignored
by almost all political and corporate leaders,
and by most everyone else, as well. 
The ignored truth is: 
All Systems Are Closed Systems.  
There are no open ended system in nature.  

Many people believe that their actions are open ended -
that their actions have a beginning and an end
and that their actions are independent
and separate form the rest of the world.   T
hey also believe that they can destroy something
and not reap the consequences.  
The evidence tells us otherwise.  

Everything Moves in Spirals:  
Nothing happens that is independent and separate.  
Everything has a context in which it occurs.
Everything is part of a cycle and
all cycles are spiral in nature.  

Every human action is an act of
stepping into and altering
a pre-existing cycle.  

Every action alters the entire cycle.  
Every action even what seems like
a small and insignificant action
is part of a cycle.  
That small cycle  is part of a larger cycle,
which is also altered.
The larger cycle is part of a still large cycle,
and that, too, is altered.    
The effects and the changes may be small,
but non the less, they are always there.  
The problem, from a human perspective is that
we have no idea and no concern about
what the long-term consequences of our actions will be.

Because the universe moves in spirals, nothing ever returns to its exact origin.   By the time it returns to what appears to be it's origin, the conditions and circumstances of its origin have moved and changed.    A coil spring is a good visual metaphor.  

For example, each time you leave and return to your you life partner, he or she has changed.   Each time you return to your home, both your home and you have changed.   The change may be so slight that you do not notice, but the change occurred, non the less.   Everything in the physical universe is in motion and that motion is spiral in nature.   The motion may be so slow or so fast or it may occur on a bio-electrical and bio-chemical level that is too small to see, but everything is constantly in motion.

Why is this important?   Because humans are an integral part of nature.   All human actions are closed loops in that they move in spirals and return to their origin in a slightly changed or radically altered form.     

This principle affects not only your life, it affects everything in the entire universe.   Most people believe that their actions have beginnings and an endings.   Physical actions often appear to have clear beginnings and clear endings, but appearances are incredibly deceiving.   What you see and what appears to be the whole picture is only a small fraction of a completely integrated circular/spiral process.  

The outward experiences are like what you see in the beer and hard liquor commercials.   The scene depict happy party goers who are feeling incredible good and they are on their way to having sex.   They ignore the drunken stupors, the mindless actions, the drunk drivers, the painful hangovers, the unsightly beer bellies, the irreversible liver poisonings, and all the other negative aspects of alcohol consumption.   Advertisers mention only the pleasurable actions and imply a positive result.    Technically, they deceive their potential customers with lies of omission.   Why lie?   Because the corporations that sell beer and hard liquor have interests that are far beyond  money and profits.   And, they have absolutely no concern whatsoever about their customer's well being. 

Before we start thinking that self deception is someone else's ball game, we need to understand that most of us are deceiving ourselves just about every aspect of our lives.   One has but to examine  what humans have done to the environment and how completely we deny responsibility for our behavior to become aware of the consequences of seeing only the pleasant and/or the profitable parts of life.

We need to teach ourselves and our children that every action produces a consequence.   Every action has a reaction.   As you sow so shall you reap."   "What goes around comes around."   "Garage in garbage out."  As Einstein said,  "Every action is the inevitable result of that which came before it."  

Nothing stands alone.   Nothing ever simply ends.   Everything evolves into something else.   "Everything has a price."  "There is no such thing as a free lunch."  Every action you, I, or anybody else takes produces results.  

Before you do something, you'd be wise to examine, as best you can, the full and long-term consequences of the action you about to take.   Because everything is an integrated, mutually-affecting part of everything else, anything and everything you do TO someone or something else, you do TO yourself, and anything and everything you do FOR someone or something else, you do FOR yourself.  

You may think that life is linear and that it stops with the death of the physical body.   The overwhelming evidence indicates that that belief is another illusion.  Reincarnation is a reality.   You and several of  your own ancestors are one and the same being.   Look out world, here I come -- again!  

The most arrogant, most mindless, most incredibly destructive, and  the largest scale example of ignoring this principle, can be found in a real life version of a pact with the Devil.   We invite you to take a close look into the coal-burning, electric power industry.   http://www.TruthSpeaker.net/coal-devils-bargain.html#34    

Everything is inside of and intimately related to everything else.  Nothing stands alone.   Everything is dependent upon everything else.   Everything is part of everything else.  

Many of us, particularly in the United States, have been taught that human are separate from The Source of Creation, (Source/ Creator/ God) that we are separate from nature, and that we are separate from each other.   These beliefs are strongly contradicted by the evidence.   They are even contradicted by the Christian Bible.  

For the Spiritual/Religious Perspective,  readers are directed to:

Before you can answer the question, "Does God exist?" 
you first must define what you mean by the word " God."

The evidence indicates that the source of everything is consciousness -- that everything is consciousness.   The evidence also indicates that every one of Source/ Creator/ God's seemingly-separate creations has/is its own consciousness and that the individual units of consciousness are all intimately, integrated into, interrelated with, and part of a greater unified whole.

The belief in separation creates conflict, fights, and wars:  

Time:   We have about five years from now (2010)  to begin dramatically reversing Runaway Global Climate Change  before it becomes unstoppable, but the full effect of Runaway Global Climate Change will not begin to show up as major, global-level disasters until about twenty years from now.   The illusion is that because the future disasters are not here now, we can deal with our environmental problems later.   Unfortunately, later will be way too late.   Check the page describing the problem and see for yourself:  
http://www.truthspeaker.net/urgency-for-action.html#34    

Our physical bodies are animal in nature and thus, we are blessed and cursed with everything that that entails.   But what about our minds, our consciousness, our beliefs, our attitudes, our emotions?   None of these aspects of our being are physical, and yet they are an integral part of who and what we are.  

Most of us look at life from a physical perspective and believe that everything non-physical is not real.   If that's true, then love and your beloved are only a figments of your imagination.   We don't directly perceive Source/ Creator/ God, and yet, billions of us believe in God.  

So where does reality end and fantasy begin?   The evidence is telling us that they're is no line -- that there is no such distinction  -- that one part is in the physical world and the other part is simply reality in its non-physical form.  

Humans are blessed with the privilege to live in both worlds at the same time.   We are blended beings.   Unfortunately, most of us are still unconscious blended beings.   We suggest that a more productive approach is to live life in full consciousness of ourselves as blended beings.  

The overwhelming evidence points the the conclusion that the non-physical world is the context in which physical reality exists.   In other words, the  first cause of everything physical is in the non-physical world.   (Readers are directed to The Universal Law of Thought.)  

By living as if reality is limited to only that which is physical, we discount and disconnect ourselves from  most of who and what we are.   We live as victims.   We lose our creativity.   We lose our power of conscious creation.  

Those of us who are conscious of ourselves as blended beings have the potential to re-create our lives within the Earth-plane reality that we find ourselves in.   We have the capacity to re-create by our thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, intentions.   Our non-physical thoughts stimulate us to take physical actions.   Thus we have the power to be, do, have, express and experience a reality that is profoundly more joy-filled, and much more abundant with the things and situations we choose to experience.  

You also might want to be aware of the fact that we take external actions to produce internal, feel-good feelings.   Those feel-good feelings are not part of the physical world, either.   So here's the bottom line.  

Physical reality begins and ends
in the non-physical world of
thoughts, feeling, emotions, beliefs,
attitudes, and perceptions.   

Welcome to the world of the blended being. 

When we realize who and what we really are, we can give up victimhood.   We can stop blaming others for what's wrong in our lives.   We can give up the illusions of being separate form God, separate from nature, and separate from each other.  We can give up the illusion that violence solves problems.  

We can give up the illusion that we can destroy our Earthly environment and not reap the devastating and deadly consequences.   We can end the rape of everything and anything for the sake of short-term profits for those who are already wealthy.  

We can cooperate instead of fighting.   Collectively, we can end all the major problems plaguing humanity.   The bottom line is that everything begins and ends with consciousness and you and I are at choice regarding what we focus on.   In the process of changing ourselves, we also change the context in which we live, do, have, express and experience ourselves.   Thus ,we have the capacity to recreate the context in which we live, and that, my friend, starts the creation cycle all over again.   Welcome to the world of the blended being.     

Being Versus Doing

BeingVersusDoing:  
One of the techniques available to enhance your awareness of the non-physical portion of yourself is to intentionally and consciously engage in one or more of the activities that cannot be learned through the intellect.   As a baby, you didn't learn to walk because somebody taught you.   You learned from that internal, non-physical part of yourself.   As a child, how did you learn to create the balance it takes to ride a bicycle?   Without a sense of balance, you can't ride a bicycle.   Take a moment, sit quietly and ask yourself, "Where does the balance come from?"   

As a child, I practice juggling baseballs and tennis balls.   Although I still know how to juggle, I cannot teach you how to do what I can do.   During my Freshman year at college, I taught myself how to walk on the steel cables between the posts that were placed along the on-campus roads.   The posts were about ten yards apart and had half inch steel cables running between them.   I could easily walk a hundred yards on these cables without falling off. 

What's the point of telling you this?   The first point is that, without knowing about the distinction between learning by my mind and learning from my being, I was becoming proficient at learning from being.   The second point is that I encourage you to do likewise.   Take up some activity that can only be mastered from who you are -- an activity that you cannot learn through your intellect --  preferably an activity in which the your entire body gets to participate.  

Ice skating is probably the best activity for accomplishing this.   Dancing is an activity that almost anybody can participate in but, unfortunately, many people try to dance from their heads.   The goal is to dance from your soul.   Michael Jackson was a master at dancing from the from the core of his being.   Whatever you do the goal is to be here and now, in the moment, with whatever it is.  

Here's another example of this distinction:   If you want to learn math, you seek out a teacher.   If you want to learn to be a master athlete, you seek out a coach.   The teacher can point the way.   A coach can guide you as you learn to do things that are, in many cases, way beyond anything he can or ever was able to do.   

On the internet (at YouTube) you can find a musical example of singing from being.   There you can find an old black an white video of Tom Jones singing a song titled "Delila"   Watch and listen.   Notice his eyes, his facial expressions, his body language.   Listen to and feel the emotions that fill his words.   He is in the moment and is dripping with feeling.   He takes his listeners into their emotions -- into their own space of being.    

In sharp contrast, and again on YouTube, there's a second version of Tom Jones singing the same song many years later in a highly-staged production number at Cadriff Castle.   Again note the facial expressions and the body language.   This is an example of a stage performer pumping up is faltering ego in front of an audience.   He's no longer in the song.   He's in the audience.  

The Principle of Light   

Light is the transition point between non-physical reality and the physical universe.   The energy waves we think of as light are infinite, un-manifested potential.   That potential appears to be controlled by consciousness.   When light waves are observed, they become particles and are condensed into physical matter.   Readers are directed to two videos that explain the science clarifying the above statements.  What the Bleep Do We Know  and Down the Rabbit Hole.   Both are available at:
http://www.whatthebleep.com/community

The entire physical universe is a creation by light,   All of life on planet earth is made up of three basic components -- carbon, oxygen and light/energy (with a rather minor amounts of the other elements).   Light plays a central role in all of physical realty.   All the chemical components that make up the physical universe (hydrogen oxygen, carbon, et cetera)  were created from light- created in stars.   Light has some of the most unique properties in all of creation.   The wave/participle phenomenon is just one piece of a very unique puzzle.  

For example, billions of light waves are crisscrossing the space between these words on your computer screen and your eyes.   Those waves are invisible to you.   They do not interfere with each other.  They are the fastest-moving "things" in the entire physical universe.   Each point where light strikes a physical object becomes a point from which it bounces off and radiates out in every direction.  

Light and heat are interchangeable.   Light can be stored in biologically-produced physical matter.   Coal and oil are storehouses for light.   All biomass on the planet is filled with stored light.  Plants use light as their energy source when they transform carbon dioxide gas into a carbon-based bio-mass and release the oxygen back into the atmosphere.  

We perceive objects in the physical world because light is shining onto them.   When someone becomes aware of how the universe functions, he or she has accessed the non-physical world of consciousness, and is said to have become enlightened.   When our physical bodies die, we go to the light.   Why?    Why?    Why?   Because light is the doorway between physical matter and the un-manifested portion of reality.  

At the moment, your core assumptions dominate or control most, if not all, of your life.   Because the ultimate source of life is unknown (and, at this point in human evolution, unknowable) the best we have to offer is to examine the evidence and come up with your own best guesses as to what is most likely reality.   Then live you life as if your assumptions were true, but remember they are only best guesses, so when additional evidence comes along, be prepared to readjust your assumptions and be prepared to readjust your life.   Again we refer you to the information on TLC-Life-Center websites mentioned in the above Paragraph.

Nothing is static.   Nothing ever stays the same.   Everything is inconstant motion.   Life, on Earth can be defined as a function of self expansion, of self movement, self growth, of being self directed.  

The Law of expansion is closely associate with the law of freedom.   Humans are constantly in the process of self expansion.   Where the problem comes in is that they believe that in order for themselves to expand, someone or something else in the physical world must contract.   This perspective violates the law of freedom, and is at the core of all conflicts, all fighting, and all wars.   

When you examine how the universe functions, you'll notice that it is in constant movement of expansion and contraction.  It's always in balance.   Wherever it is contracting, it is expanding somewhere else.    Wherever it is expanding, it is contracting somewhere else.  

Another Mystery of God:    Consciousness is similar to Light in that it appears to humans to have no opposite.   We say that darkness is the absence of light.   Ignorance appears to be the absence of consciousness.  

Can The Law Equal and Opposite be broken or not applicable here?   It's more likely that we are seeing only a portion of this picture.   The inner feeling tells me that there is still something missing here, something that is still part of the unsolved mystery we call "Creator/God."   The All That Is appears to be a form / function of consciousness.   Is poverty simply a function of the absence of the consciousness of abundance?   Are pain, grief and misery simply the absence of the consciousness of love?

Then the question is:  How do we apply this to our lives and enhance our well-being?  David Neagales refers to marketing a product of service by giving others "The impression of increase."     

The observer affects that which is observed.   Everything is a vibration.   Everything is a function of consciousness.   Light is the link between the physical and the non physical.
