We began to discuss Canons, constitutive rules foundational to any construction, and defined them as universally applicable formulas.
Following the Canon of Sound established by the science of Harmonics, we might try to identify key relational formulas of the seven major human, and thereby also cosmic, activities.
It is clear that countless activities intertwine in Space, yet just as for sound intervals, these can be distilled to an essential and universalizing septenary which can be fixed as follows:
1) Governing: the activity associated with the energy of the first sound interval (unison); Will that liberates.
2) Educating: the activity which saturates the field; the octave, the second interval of Sound; Love that magnetizes.
3) Planning: the dynamic activity of the third interval (fifth); Light that innovates.
4) Expressing: the mirror and harmonizing activity of the fourth interval; Beauty.
5) Working: the building activity of the fifth interval (third); the force of Joy.
6) Communicating: the evidence of the sixth interval activity which reveals the value of Truth.
7) Organizing: the ordering activity of the seventh interval of Sound; the power which unites Spirit and Substance, asserting Unity.
From these correspondences we can draw the following principles:
–
Freedom is the basis of Governing
*
Love is the basis of Educating
*
Light is the basis of Planning
*
Beauty is the basis of Expressing
*
Joy is the basis of Working
*
Truth is the basis of Communicating
*
Unity is the basis of Organizing
*
–
Seven related formulas are also worth contemplating:
–
Freedom is the supreme Common Good
*
Love is the universal motive
*
Light is the Being which draws the Universe and colors it
*
Beauty is the splendor of Truth
*
Joy is a special wisdom
*
Truth is the Way that leads to the One
*
Unity is the maximum Power, hence inviolable.
*
Having identified these first fiery principles, we can begin to fashion serviceable cornerstones of the new human Culture/Civilization in all domains, from which a creative sound will arise, capable of harmonious interaction with the planetary and solar one.
A “kind” of beauty…. Hmmmm. Well using the word beauty so broadly we could say all things are beautiful, yes? Philisophically we could say that all things are all the same depending on perspective, yes? Skipping blythly forward I think we need to establish a concise definition for the word “beauty” it being in the eye of the beholder.
In essence beauty is a thing extraordinary, a thing that impresses in the positive. If this is at all the standard “truth” is not extra ordinary. Truths are not rare. Principles being the true understanding of a function chemical, emotional, or mechanical, how can one possibly describe these ordinary true things as beautiful?
My understanding is that the word is used misapropriately due to simple lazy articulation attitudes.
Truths might best be discribed as way totally awsome!! Beyond beautiful. 🙂
Joy and wisedom? Hmmm… It would seem that the idea that a truly wise person would become joyful for some reason is logical. Why would wisdom render someone joyful? What is wisdom? Is it a type of knowing? Knowing right from wrong, this what the dictionary says in essence. So, knowing right from wrong makes one joyful?
There is no anolgistic relationship to the chicken and the egg conundrum. Principles and philosophy are like bricks/principles and the wall which is made of bricks, millions of bricks. Small philosophies are not philosophies at all, just as paragrphs are small stories but not a chapter and chapters are small stories but not a book. Of course one can say a paragraph is a book just as one can twist any word to suit ones twisted argument to suit any purpose.
If ones intent is to comunicate reasonably then words need to have clear and fixed definition and meaning. Otherwise truth is a rare thing. :). Yes?
Nothing I wrote supports the imagined reality posted to this site by others as far as I have been able to explore.
Please understand this truth; the truth, the light, and the way are only found in Christ Jesus the son of the Lord and God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.
Scott, Let’s leave interested readers to compare our posts and make up their own minds. You seem to be optimistic and so am I. Cheers, Simon
I am glad you take no offense.
Freedom is inherently and profoundly beautiful, and as you say Scott, truth is freedom, Hence truth, being freedom, is a kind of beauty (contra your first claim).
And since it’s comical at best to imagine the utterly joyless as wise, joy and wisdom appear to have something to do with each other (contra your second claim).
Whether principles or philosophy do or should come first might be a point of interest, even if analogous to the chicken-and-egg conundrum. Yet as for your definition of principles, all you suggest on these purely generic points seems entirely compatible with everything in the blog post.
You further suggest the post is flawed due to an ulitmately speculative basis. Yet irrespective of the truth of your generic points, this estimation could simply be incorrect and ironic speculation.
On a more constructive note, the perrenial hylozoic system as summarised by Henry Laurency (google delivers) strikes me as “working,” notwithstanding anything “long recognised” about philosophy. You’re free to similarly dismiss his work, but if you appreciate pithy and lucid mental engagement you might find the research worthwhile.
Foolishness that.
Truth is freedom not beauty.
Joy and wisdom have nothing to do with each other.
I’ve never read anything more hyperbolic balderdash in my life! Oh wait, complete blarney ranks up there with what it proposed.
Apparently it isn’t understood what a principle is.
Let me explain and expound upon the subject.
A principle is a truth with width, a perfect center line, unending length, no thickness, and no rules or laws applicable. A principle cannot be expressed in words, only internalized and expressed in action, for it is the expression of the function of an activity.
No principle is used singularly but always in groupings no fewer than three.
Christ Jesus is the truth that leads to the one,yes.
The rest of the stuff expressed on this web site is just stuff. I don’t understand how a sane person could spend their time writing it down and and spending time and recourses attempting to communicate it.
It would appear that a philosophy was the starting point and that the supporting principles were then sought.
An intelligent mind would build a philosophy up from truths, but that might be more work than one is capable of performing.
As a matter of fact, that is the issue.
It has long been recognized that no one has ever succeeded at constructing a working philosophy.
Scott, truth surely leads to freedom, especially interior, and for this reason is also the bearer of beauty, at least for all those who have no preconceived thoughts to defend.

This seems to be in perfect harmony with the qualified energies of the seven rays. These rays – it is said – originate from the seven Rishi’s of the Great Bear, in Their triple relationship with Sirius and the Pleiades.
This triple relationship is transferred via a pattern of triangular relationships to the Earth (Shamballa – Hierarchy – Humanity) thus reaching us consciously.
