Principles

Robert asks that if principles are always true then are they operating and affecting us now, in the present?

Yes. True principles are always in effect all around us. The universe is built upon true principles, held together by them and will be dissolved by them. True principles govern our lives, our deaths, our relationships, our sorrow and our joys.

The bird flies making use of true principles, yet does not understand the principle of flight or realizes it exists. So it is with us. We live in a sea of principles which govern all things, yet until, we touch the soul we do not even realize what a principle is.

Next Robert asks:
Would other authors write about them and not really know them in fullness? like in business, self help and just the common talk of people today?

JJ:
Yes, many of the best authors touch upon a principle. Some have a sense of that which they have discovered while others do not discern them from facts. Sometimes you can find a principle in a book written by an author that does not know what a principle is.

When the seeker gains a true understanding of the language of principles his learning is greatly accelerated.

Again Robert asks:
Could we be really close to understanding these principals as a whole humanity that they come up in modern literature, movies, songs, etc...?

JJ:
Yes, principles are touched upon more and more through the media as humanity progresses. These principles are usually lightly touched upon but are rarely explained.

Some principles touched upon in the movies, for instance, are:

(1) The force from Star Wars. This is actually the life principle that flows through us from and through higher lives and spheres. The highest among us only has a vague understanding of this principle.

(2) The female creative principle of allowing the male seed to be planted. The best movie that illustrates this is Rocky #2. Rent this and watch the principle work when the wife revives and tells Rocky that he must "win." This stirs the spirit within you because a principle is at work.

(3) The principle of sacrifice illustrated beautifully at the end of Titanic.

(4) The principle of the intuitive approach to problem solving illustrated by Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek.

(5) The principle of illusion from the Matrix.

(6) The principle of Faith in Seabiscuit

(7) The principle of duality as demonstrated daily by the political debates on TV and radio.

Robert:
Could they be on the edge of the common reality in this time?

JJ:
Yes.
