The Law of Correspondences

I stand corrected Zina. I indeed left out the influence of the group in planting a fruitful seed in you. I am proud to be associated with such a fine bunch.

Let us review the Principles of Discovery covered so far. They are:

(1) Take the things you know (for reasonable surety) to be true and use them as a foundation or stepping stones for testing additional truths.

(2) Be willing to let these foundation beliefs be either altered or dropped as some of them are replaced by higher vision.

(3) The teaching should be in harmony with common sense

(4) It should increase the power of Decision and free will.

(5) It should bring you to a new level of awareness and usefulness.

(6) Seek out true sources of knowledge, study and incorporate them into your life. Knowledge dispels error and illusion.

(7) Gather all the reliable information you can about a subject of interest and try and see the principles suggested by the data. Then draw conclusions and run the conclusions by your soul and see if you receive a response.

(8) Follow all the aspects of the Will of God that is within your perception and your sensitivity to the truth will increase.

(9) Another instrument of discovery of truth is the Process of Elimination. How do you suppose this principle works? Have you used it yourself to discover truth? Many of us have used this in the game "Twenty Questions."

(10) Effective Communication (A) Communication through perception of the outside world. (B) Person to person communication. (C) Communication through the soul.

(11) Truth is in harmony with spiritual principles; therefore we discover that which is true through the application of those principles.

(12) The principle of planting and harvesting.

The thirteenth principle of discovery is called "the Law of Correspondences." The principle behind it is "as above so below," and visa versa.

Question: Can anyone tell us what this law is and how it can be used to discover truth? Does the evolution of human life as we have been discussing it fit into this law?
