Note to Reader:
As you carefully read and study this book, you will undoubtedlycome to appreciate the universality of Mr. Parkers mind and
recognize the universal truths revealed through his writings. Use this
newfound knowledge to develop your universal potential and come toenjoy the beauties found in establishing individuality of mind and
universality of purpose.
During Mr. Parkers lifetime the reference to man and mankindhad a universal meaning that included both sexes. Today there is
much greater emphasis on identifying the separate sexes in order to
make clear their equality. Rather than alter the original writings by
changing all such references to humans and humankind, interpret thesereferences as universal terms that include both sexes on an equal basis.

THE CYCLIC LAW
Prologue
For centuries man has divided life into entirely opposite phases,
actually diametrically opposed to each other. The first is the material
aspect of life wherein man deals only in fact and form, his onlyinfallible key being mathematics. To the scientist, mathematics is the
ultimate in revelation; it is the basis of all his scientific data. It
actually represents the quantity of being and of time, life having itsbeing within the confines of time. Reason having become involved in
being and time, being or mind has to seek within self to its true reason
for existence. Man being the only conscious part of this life, it is he
alone who can discover the true pattern of being and his responsibilityto it.
The second phase of life opposite to the material aspect is that of
the abstract: the Conscious Intelligent phase of life that should
motivate all human existence. Time is the path of spiritualunfoldment, whilst Conscious Intelligence is the quality and the
fulfilment of time. Quality and quantity in proper perspective and
balance is the completeness of God's Plan.
Sincerely,Yours in Service

Why must we accept tragedy as a natural phenomenon? Why
place it in the accident class as though it were an act of God? Is theresuch a thing as an accident? I doubt it. On every hand we hear about
the epidemic airline tragedies, which have taken a heavy toll of human
life--not mentioning the military losses that are not always made
public. Tragedy is not confined to air travel, it has always been withus; but air travel is superseding all other forms of travel and is
naturally in the limelight. Man learns through research and experience
but should endeavour to minimize human sacrifice in the learning.
To facilitate discovery, the airlines have an official investigatingcommittee whose duty it is to assemble the pieces of a plane after a
crash to determine whether the error was mechanical or the pilot's,
although what is usually left over after a plane tragedy would not be
enough to arrive at a logical, basic conclusion; however it seemssufficient to satisfy an apathetic public, who provide the human
sacrifice for the disaster. The wrecking of a plane is not actually a
disaster because the plane is insured: it is the loss of lives thatconstitutes a tragedy.
Often after each tragedy we read in the newspaper that the
commission, after considerable research, has come to the conclusion
that a certain airline disaster was the result ofpilot error. Just what is
meant bypilot error? Could this include a fit or mental confusion?Finding a mechanical or structural error merely represents mechanical
research for better planes--a step in advancement. What does the pilot
error represent--the necessary sacrifice for better planes, or just analibi to the loved ones of the deceased, put forth to bolster public
morale? Unfortunately, the finding of pilot error does not producebetter and safer pilots; all the safety gadgets in the world cannot
compensate pilot responsibility and error, and we will never have
completely foolproof planes.
Why Not Better and Safer Pilots?
It seems that scientists have not made much progress in the
understanding of human mind. They have merely catalogued human
weaknesses and inhibitions, but the cause is still a mystery and will
remain so while the answers are left to psychiatry. A weakness mustbe discovered beforehand. What can happen to a pilot's mind whilst in
the air is not entirely unknown to those of the flying profession, only itis not known why orwhen certain dangerous phenomena may occur to
cause a blackout or a panic and mental confusion; a pilot may not have
exhibited any previous weakness, but, of course, there is always thefirst time.

I suppose that all airlines demand regular physical check-ups of
their pilots which, however, tell nothing logical or basic about themental pattern or possibilities for the future. I once knew a pilot of the
Second World War who one day hired a private plane and, whilst
flying, suddenly lost all cognizance of plane mechanics. He looked at
the controls as with blind eyes, not knowing anything about a plane.He had the urge to jump, yet was afraid to do so. His mind was in
confusion and panic, but luckily he had plenty of altitude and he
fought down his panic so that he could experiment with the control andbalance of the plane. His next fear was how to bring the plane in to a
landing without crashing. He could not stay up too long as daylight
was fading, and so he decided to take a chance; while he was losingaltitude, his mind suddenly regained normalcy and he brought the
plane in safely.
As an example, there have been many incidents where a pilot who,
having lost one motor of his plane and being hampered by icing-up
conditions, has asked permission to return to his original field; but inturning he did not take into consideration the strong wind that was
blowing. Even though used to the mountainous terrain and the
distance between points, he thinks he has cleared the mountains andasks permission to reduce altitude, but crashes, killing all aboard.
Could a miscalculation like this be termedpilot error? In which case,
science had better learn to eliminate the error, or remove the pilot fromhuman responsibility.
Human Nature Can Be Changed
Allow me to state here and now that there is a way of determining
the stability of a person's mind, of knowing when a mind is going to besubject to a severe mental and emotional test, and how to avoid it. It is
generally thought that human nature cannot be changed, but this
statement is erroneous and misleading and stops further research. It isbecause human mind is a mystery that science knows not where to
start, but dislikes to admit it; instead, science is lost in removing the
lobes of the brain and boring holes in the skull to stimulate the brain
cells, erroneously thinking that the brain is the mind.
Mind and time are the two greatest forces known in this finiteplane of ours. Consciousness gives us intelligence and mortal being,
which manifests through that universal and eternal power called time.
As a business executive you may ask: "What in thunder could possiblyinterest me in such a subject as time? My answer is: "If yours is an
intelligent and progressive mind, you will naturally be interested in
knowledge that could well put your business on an entirely new status,
one where all gamble and force of circumstance are removed. Mind is
-

The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 5
a quality of being manifesting in thought and verbal expression." You
well may ask: "What has this to do with the airlines industry?" Youcould be astonished to learn how much you do not know about life and
time, and how man is influenced by time. You would be equally
surprised to know that your life is measured by time, and that time
actually represents a chart or map of your life upon which you candepend with the utmost certainty. Time is something we are born into
and cannot get out of until death; it is eternal and immutable; it cannot
be borrowed, paid back, nor retrieved. It is associated with everyliving thought; perhaps it could be expressed as that great eternal void
that is to be filled with human thought and eventually Consciousness
in the spiritual expression of mind. Now, man is lost in mere livingand self-satisfaction, with little desire to lift his mind above the
mundane things of the desires. Thus, little is known about the divine
laws that govern human existence: the quality andReason of being.
Man, Lost in Living--No Spiritual Objective
Following the average pattern of life, there are two opposite paths:
that of business, materiality, and science, and that which is known asthe spiritual or religious path on which man is supposed to meditate
upon things divine. The unfortunate points concerning these two
opposite paths are the over practical, scientific, and factual aspect ofthe first-mentioned path that has led us to the verge of atomic
destruction, and the lack of practicality and fact of the religious path
that offers no alternative. One's religious studies should encompassreason of being, man's relationship and duty to the source of his being
and to his fellow man, and the fulfilment of his destiny in creatingharmony and balance in his own life and that of others.
All this would necessitate making his material existence only
incidental to a spiritual existence; but, knowing nothing about aspiritual duty or objective, man has just become lost in living itself.
Herein lies the reason why man's duty and control over self is
negligible, because man knows practically nothing about self andabsolutely nothing about his own mind. Man has lost his individuality;
he is a creature of mass-mindedness. Even his thoughts are not his
own, for medical science tells us that the condition called
*schizophrenia has become a major problem. This means that mancannot guarantee that his own mind will always be in the driver's seat,
for he may contact a mental interference at any moment and exhibit
some form of mental phenomenon such as fits, blackouts, insanity,childishness, mental confusion, temper, criminality, suicide, self-pity,
or jealousy, etc. Any of these conditions could be the cause of a major
* Now called Dissociative Memory Disorder

air tragedy. How many times has a passenger gone berserk and had to
be forcibly subdued? How many have held a gun to the back of anairline pilot and demanded some form of concession? This is the
reason that more time and finances should be used for the study of
human mind: to assure a greater measure of safety to the travelling
public and not dismiss a major tragedy with the simple remark, "justpilot error." Either cause-- mechanical or mental--has the same
significance in that no effort is being made to teach man mental
control over his emotions and thinking, and complete individualitythrough positive thinking.
Lack of Individuality
It is public knowledge that millions of Americans are living on
tranquilizers. How many pilots use them to control their nervoussystems or to enforce relaxation? Anyone who takes tranquilizers is a
*schizophrenic in the first place; otherwise his mind would govern hisemotions and actions at all times and he would relax naturally. There
is a religious axiom that reads, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." If you
live on tranquilizers, you will lose your individuality and die through amental interference.
Man carries on through life with no specific mental or spiritual
goal, merely existing, a slave to social customhis mind moulded by
television, radio, periodicals, entertainment, and social ethics which, ofcourse, are not really ethical but only functional to a degraded standard
of existence with his guiding star a disc jockey.
Ignorance and Confusion
Time is the period of existence in which man lives from the cradleto the grave, and man has learned to dissect it down into seconds,
minutes, hours, weeks, months, years, and ages; thus is man able to
hear his earthly existence ticked away by his watch, and every tick is athing of the past that can never be retrieved or redeemed. Thus man
lives in mental confusion with no constructive objective, living but
only to have riches and an independent standard of living to satisfy his
desires. This is not what nature intended, but it is the human pattern ofexistence. This is what is termed civilization, which is of mind
governed by liquor, tobacco, finance, clothes, credit, and racketeer
barons; they build the maze of confusion for profit in which manbecomes hopelessly lost. What has this to do with time and tragedy?
you may ask. To explain anything, one must get down to cause and
pattern, both of which I am explaining. If man lives in ignorance hewill die in confusion.
-
8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 7
It is obvious that man's pattern of living is degenerate and contains no
spiritual objective relative to living and progress; consequently, eachgeneration becomes more degenerate, leaving the "...iniquity of the
fathers upon the children..." (Exodus 34:7) Only the evolution of each
generation, each a step higher than the last, guarantees freedom from
the evils of the previous generation. Thus we see that wisdom is ouronly positive protection against complete annihilation through human
ignorance. Man becomes either the only creative and regenerative
power in existence, or the complete destroyer--symbolized by the fourhorsemen of the apocalypse--"the destroyer of his own soul."
Man Colours the Age
Time is the unfoldment of the reason of being through its being,
the involutionary and evolutionary forces of nature endeavouring to
create and mould a constructive pattern of living through the creative
mind of man. Time is the mathematical and dimensional law of life; itdiscerns movement and motion in mathematical gradations of time and
symbolizes distance, which we term the ages, the quality and nature of
which are the sum result of human thinking. Whether an age isprimitive, confused, one of murder and repression, chivalry, culture, or
of musical and dramatic expression, is the result of human mind. Thus
man colours the age, and not the age, man.
Life Is Dual
All life is dual in its creation, and the pattern is laid out in religioustheory as God being the nucleus of being, termed spirit or abstract, i.e.,
beyond and above human sense and concept--the Father Principle. On
the other hand, we have the negative manifestation of this GodPrinciple as the Mother, or world of dimension, the power of fertility,
or the earth. The abstract power of Universal Consciousness
represents the reason and cause of life, or the quality of being, which is
endeavouring to manifest its wisdom through the mind of man to fillthe ages with harmony and balance, to create perfection, love, and
service upon earth among all men; this is often termed universal
brotherhood. It represents peace, health, constructive progress, and the
equality of all men.
Thus we see that time is the essence and quality of life. The
quantity side of life manifests through the finite or dimensional plane
of existence. Thus quality is expressing through quantity. These are
the positive and negative phases of existence and the duality of being.

God's Plan
If there is complete co-ordination with this divine quality (wisdom)
and the human mind, then will we have unity of man, or mind, with
the Godhead or quality of being. This is what is termed God's Plan, orthe complete balance between the positive and negative forces of
nature. God's Plan, so-called, is not where we are going after death,
but our duty and labours here as stewards of the earth. Some religioustheories have become lost in mysticism, i.e., striving to reach out
beyond human concept, logic, and reason; whilst others are living only
the Mother or negative principle, lost in matter and mortal concept.
Neither has discovered the steps that man must take to find the properbalance between quality and quantity, known as the middle path.
If man is ordained to reach spirituality of mind through an earthly
existence, there must be basic laws creating a foundation from which
to build a spiritual civilization. Each phase of life, abstract (mind) and
finite (materiality) must have its individual laws and expressions ofbeing.
Rhythms of Nature
Let us view time as the vehicle of expression, expressing the
mathematical gradations of spiritual unfoldment. This we see working
through the law of growth in plant life, through what is termed theCyclic Law.
Cycles have been termed by science as rhythms of natureexpressing through mathematical balance pulsating in perfect
regularity and bringing specific conditions or qualities of life, such as
seasons of growth and of weather and the rhythmic movements ofplanets and comets such as the reappearance of Halley's Comet, which
occurs every 76 years. Then there is the phenomenon of dry and wet
seasons, sun-spots, and booms and depressions or fat and lean years.Nature maintains the balance of animal existence through periodic
destruction of prolific species, e.g., the rabbit, which is conspicuous by
its absence from the woods every seven years; also the lemmings thatmake their periodic mass migration to the sea as a suicide mission.
These, and numerous other examples of the cyclic rhythms, bear outhow quality or Universal Reason manifests through dimension or formand quantity--called nature and life. This is the proof of the divine
intelligence behind all phases of existence.

The Measuring Stick of Time
All nature expresses through laws based upon absolute logic and
reason, which in itself represents absolute truth. Thus we see the link
between time and the intelligence that manifests through it. Up to thispoint I have been speaking of the natural laws of rhythms as affecting
form, nature, and species.
The greater concept I am endeavouring to paint is that of Divine
Consciousness through human mind. If time expresses the gradations
of the growth of life and each gradation shows a specific quality as inthe seasons of nature (i.e., spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and
the movement of the planets in conjunction with time) is it not plain
that mathematics through time is the measuring stick of life, bothuniversally and personally?
Thus, if man has a specific duty to perform in life--which we
believe is to be the eyes, ears, mouth, and concept of these divineforces of Consciousness or Universal Intelligence known in religious
parlance as the temple or instrument of the Supreme Power--is it not tobe expected that such duties would have to come under the jurisdiction
of time? And if time represents the law of growth and production,
then man would not have to adjust his duties and efforts to time. Thusman would reap what he has sown, according to time.
Man has made the mistake of accepting time only as a form ofmeasurement of the clock or calendar and not as a quality of
preordained conditions to which man should direct his mental effort.
For instance, it is a preordained law that certain seeds must be sown onthe proper calendar date relative to the season and weather conditions
because the nature of the seeds is relative only to the quality and
quantity of time. The same law applies to everything, including man.Man is told that nothing supersedes mind, that mind is not subservient
to any law. This is erroneous. Man, or mind, is born into time, which
is this life, and he must work in unity with the law of existence, whichis time.
Man Must Harmonize His Efforts with Time
Time does not force man to do any specific thing, except to
advance in age; neither can mind interfere with or stop time, but mancan and must harmonize his efforts with it and do the things relative to
it. For instance, we realize that winter is a quality of time bringing
changing and cold temperatures; so mind clothes its body with warmclothes for benefit and comfort. This is only relative to personal
comfort, but man must also record mental growth relative to the nature
-
8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The
10/24
The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 10
of the age in which he lives. If each age is supposed to record human
growth and achievement, is it not logical that man should create thatachievement--a specific age, the things relative to that age? Is this not
God's Plan?
For instance, we live in the mathematical age, which, according to
some people, is called the Christian Age, when man as a whole should
endeavour to lift his mind above the mundane things of the senses andlook for absolute logic and reason. If man did, he could well personify
truth, justice, and wisdom; and thus fulfil his spiritual duty or destiny.
Man has failed to do this, and instead of this age exemplifying God-like qualities through man, it has hit its lowest negative level of evil,
confusion, and murder. This represents degeneration, not the results of
a conscious, religious attitude of mental and spiritual progress. When
human mind knows how to dissect itself and understands itsrelationship to time, it will understand how to read the secrets of life
and time and know what seeds of material and spiritual progress to
sow, and how to sow them according to time.
When man attempts to do things out of season, his efforts are notcrowned with success; and thus man destroys the true nature of the
season, and earthly confusion causes man to think that nature has
turned its hand against him. This is actually opposite to the true
picture. Man goes through the ages divested of the power to controlthe forces of nature or to create success and happiness in place of
confusion, and so he becomes a prisoner of his own creation. Man, not
having learned to unite his mind and efforts with the natural law oftime, has created indifference and mental confusion and thus destroyed
the unity of mind with purpose. Such indifference destroys sanity andmakes one prey to disembodied minds or entities and one becomes
*schizophrenic, or not entirely in control of one's mind and actions.
"A Time to Every Purpose"
Today man ignores time, representing it only as a hollow void in
which to accomplish the things he desires. He lays out his business
agenda for the year and tries to complete it, disregarding the scriptural
admonition: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every
purpose under the heaven..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) meaning that there isUniversal Intelligence connected to time and seasons. Consequently,
he fails to complete his undertakings successfully.
Man cannot do the things he desires to accomplish just any timethat he desires to do them; this is why there are so many failures in all
walks of life. Man must plan his affairs according to timehoping
things will turn out fine is not enough. So little is known about the
-
8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The
11/24
The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 11
human mind; that is why there are so many conflicting theories and so
little discussion on the subject.
Getting down to a practical basis, every living individual is born
into his personal cycle; as a matter of fact, so are animals but they donot know it, being connected with their cycle only through instinct--
which is their protection. They instinctively know when to do the
right thing. Man, having no instinct and a mind that knows nothing ofthe laws of nature, has become lost in misleading things of the senses
and the desire mind, and is therefore not protected. Some people
follow hunches; these are the extremely sensitive people who live veryintensely in their emotions and sense of feeling. Thus they sense much
that they do not understand. This is not an asset because uncontrolled
emotion leads to mental and emotional confusion. Man is supposed to
know through logic and deduction. In this way, he is able to discoverfacts and create workable theories that reveal the many patterns of life.
A thorough study of mathematics as applied to human mind,
through the Cyclic Law, will convince any intelligent person that there
are natural forces working through life, of which man knows verylittle. If all human minds were working in conjunction with the Cyclic
Law of nature, there would not be the confusion in the natural forces
that comprise the weather elements, and there would not be the many
disasters caused through confusion of the elements, such as byunseasonable weather--floods, hurricanes, etc.--through excess rain out
of season.
It must be considered that human mind, being a conscious power
whose duty it is to become a creative power within the limits of timeso as to give meaning to the ages, must be a terrific influence; but
without wisdom, it is bound to have a destructive and confusinginfluence upon the laws of nature as in weather and season. The
Godhead, who represents complete balance and harmony in all things,
the ultimate in perfection and wisdom in the complete pattern of life,could not possibly have intended confusion within the seasons of
spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Only the destructiveness of
human mind and its refusal to follow the natural path of constructive
progress causes confusion and destruction in nature. This is how mancreates his own punishment and so bears out the admonition: As ye
sow (mentally), so shall ye reap.
Science Wants To Know How
Science is prone to separate human mind from the reality of being,
so as to give undue credit to the mechanics of life rather than touniversal and human intelligence. This is why shattered planes are
-
8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The
12/24
The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 12
reassembled in an endeavour to discover mechanical or structural
weakness. If human mind were properly understood, there would notbe the human error in construction in the first place, nor would there
be pilot error which, in any case, is mere carelessness or
miscalculation.
This power working through the Cyclic Law in conjunction with
human mind is the key to life that Einstein was seeking just before hisdeath. There is an unconfirmed quotation attributed to Einstein
wherein he said: "Somewhere, somehow, there must be a conjunction
between mathematics (the universal rule) and human mind." Theuniversal rule represents all form and dimension because both are
measurable and thus existent, whilst the mind is that conscious power
that manifests within the dimensional law of life. Thus is God (mind)
clothed in flesh (dimension and mathematics). Being, or dimension,has its own reason contained within itself as a natural pattern
designated by the universal mind. It is the duty of mortal mind to
discover itself and the universal plan of being, and learn to make it aguide and reality in mortal existence. Thus would reason govern in
conjunction with being itself. This would represent balance between
the positive (reason) and negative (dimension) forces of life.
Many people are willing just to believe that God rules the earth,
but science wants to know how? Science is based upon themathematical mechanics of life, the knowledge of dimension and all
its ramifications. Life is based upon divine and natural laws, and man
must discover them and apply himself to them. This is the divine plan.
Pilot Error under Duress
Let us assume that there is a power within human mind that far
surpasses all finite powers; this must be so or man would not have
such creative ability to produce a machine that will permit him to flyin comfort in the air by overcoming gravitation through propulsion,
speed, and mechanics. The pilot who flies the plane is not the same
person who created it, yet he has the responsibility of its flight and ofthe passengers within the plane. The integrity of the pilot's mind and
the mechanical perfection of the plane together guarantee the safety ofthe passengers' flight. It stands to reason that human mind supersedesall other powers, such as natural law that governs weather and natural
conditions. Thus man or mind should know itself and the power it
represents.
If there is a discord in the forces of nature at a particular time and
the pilot is in a test or adverse period of his own cycle (which is in
-
8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The
13/24
The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 13
itself discordant because the combined discords will continue to exist
as he knows nothing of his relationship to the Cyclic Law), under suchdiscordant conditions a pilots oversight may occur causing his mind
not to operate efficiently in making decisions--and tragedy results.
This may be aptly demonstrated in many disastrous crashes that take
the lives of many people. In many cases, there may be mechanicalerror as well as pilot error and the pilots oversight is fatal.
One situation, as an example, happened in this way: the external
elevator lock was left in because of pilot oversight. On take-off the
pilot found that control of the aircraft was restricted and, as stated,knew the fault to be his; so, upon electing to return to the shorter
runways at point of take-off, he informed the tower operator it was not
an emergency and he would not need the fire truck (a fatal mistake in
itself), possibly to avoid filing a report with the Department ofTransport on the reason for declaring an emergency. The crash was
caused by the scissoring of the control lock between the elevator and
the wing. The type of aircraft involved in this incident is not capableof dumping fuel, but by flying to the military base the pilot would have
burnt off considerable fuel, had an 8,000 foot runway to land on, and
would also have had crash equipment available capable of handling jetand bomber crashes.
This is what I mean by pilot error under duress or discordant cyclicinfluences. In the first place, neither a pilot nor his airline know when
he is in an adverse or test period on a particular day and that he would
find himself in difficulties. Had that possibility been known, he couldhave done one of two things: either asked to be grounded, or, knowing
the time of the expected miscalculations and confusion, he could haveavoided the disaster by a more complete check before leaving the
ground. Either would have saved his own life and those of his
passengers, and saved the plane. But he does not know that the cyclicmeasuring stick could inform him of mental conditions in the same
way he, as a pilot, is informed of expected weather conditions for a
flight. The fact that he created a tragedy shows that it was in theoffing through a test he could not pass; for it was evident that he lost
his head, allowing his emotions to govern his reasoning.
A pilot under better cyclic conditions thinks out a plan for a safe
landing with a minimum of risk. This theory may sound radical to theaverage mind, but it has been demonstrated in the lives of thousands ofpeople in all walks of life, as well as in the aviation industry.

Pilot Error--an Alibi
I have a very close friend, a pilot, who, knowing he was in an
adverse period in which anything could happen, was prepared for an
emergency and against panic. He was flying a two-engine plane witha complement of passengers when one engine threatened to seize
because of trouble in the lubricating system. He immediately cut the
engine before it seized completely and continued on one engine. And,
strange to say, while losing altitude preparatory to making a landing,the good engine "conked out." However, because he had used his
head, he was able to start the engine that had been shut down for lack
of oil and it brought him in safely. He told me he was in an adverseperiod at the time, had anticipated some such trouble, and had resolved
to keep his head at any cost, which he did, and not just literally
speaking, as well as those of his passengers.
The average human mind is so unpredictable and in most cases so
affected by the emotions, especially by fear in an emergency, that onecan never be sure how he will react under different conditions. Just
suppose that the airline had put forth an honest effort to safeguard their
pilots by a conscientious search into the mental aspect, and had foundthis cyclic principle: how many good pilots and hundreds of
passengers would be here upon this earth to testify to the good
judgment of the flying profession and its endeavour to classify piloterror properly?
Mental Aberrations
Pilot error is not the legitimate answer to a plane disaster; it is onlyan alibi. If man is the controlling factor of a plane or anything, then he
should merit first consideration. Surely we have sufficient reasons to
arouse the desire for mental discovery: child prodigies, mathematical
wizards at early ages, children suddenly speaking foreign languagesfluently without education, people changing their sex, mental
obsessions causing sudden insanity and murder, and people of dual
personality who live each personality separately and unknown to theother mind.
Take, for example, the case of the policeman in England years agowhose beat was suffering systematic robberies that defied detection.
The policeman felt mortified and was determined to discover the thief,
so he set traps. How horrified he was to find it was he himself, througha dual personality, who was planning and executing the robberies. He
arrested and charged himself for the crimes and accepted the
punishment.

Mental Disturbances
There are situations that demand a logical solution, situations that
have no relation to the mechanics of nature but rather to human mind
and all its ramifications. Too much money is spent in attempting to fly
to the moon and too little, in endeavouring to find out how the moonaffects the human mind.
Science does classify an insane person as a luna-tic, which brings
to mind the fact that many people have mild mental disturbances at
different times of their cycle whilst at others they are normal.
There are thousands of businessmen and executives who have their
personal astrologer, even after intensive surveys have been madeproving that astrology is not a one-hundred per cent practical and
dependable theory. It does prove that these men are seekingsomething that business knowledge does not contain, and that themental angle contains something very vital to man's effort in every
sphere of endeavour. Through the years there have been many
experiments to find the key to the Cyclic Law; so far they have notfound the answers although they have presented much data to prove
the existence of the law and its influence upon business booms,
depressions, and natural phenomena. *Science accurately prophesies
disturbances in the atmosphere and in all weather conditions--why notthe disturbances in human mind?
There never was a logical explanation given as to why two planeson June 30, 1956 crashed while flying over the Grand Canyon in clear
weather conditions, with visibility one-hundred per cent. Was thatpilot error in both cases? If the pilot ahead could not see, how about
the one following? There are too many mysterious airline disasters to
dismiss them with the pilot error excuse. Every man knows he has off
days when nothing seems to go right regardless of how systematic andcareful he is; whilst on other days everything seems to fall into place.
All that is needed is the knowledge of how to pinpoint those days
accurately, and to realize that they are the cyclic conditionsmanifesting through human mind and affairs. As previously
mentioned, rabbits die by the thousands every seven years andlemmings go into a mass migration and suicide periodically becausethey have no reason or protective mind, but follow instinct. Man uses
mind as a means of self-extermination because his mind cannot use
reason about the influence and cause of adverse conditions as related

to self and nature. Man in his ego thinks he is above and beyond
natural law--until he is riding a few million dollars down to a majordisaster! Of course, the plane is insured liberally and so is the pilot, no
doubt, but the commission cannot put his pieces together to discover
the mechanical and mental difficulty.
It is so difficult for a layman to imagine air crashes where there is
so much wide open space, for instance the Grand Canyon disaster.The crash over the Grand Canyon was reconstructed from known
factors on flight plans filed and facts proved from the wreckage. Both
aircraft were off controlled airways. Number one aircraft wasclimbing from a position ahead of and below number two aircraft. The
latter was cruising in level flight and was consequently moving faster
and overtaking the former. Both pilots were unaware of the presence
of another aircraft in the area as there had been no warning issued byAir Traffic Control, who were not legally responsible for aircraft
flying in areas off controlled airways, though a moral responsibility is
indicated. Pilots in the first aircraft naturally could not see the secondaircraft above and behind them, and the pilots in the second one were
unable to see an aircraft coming up from ahead and below them, with
the result that one aircraft had the tail section broken off and thesecond aircraft lost a wing. Fault was laid to extremely poor visibility
incorporated in many modern aircraft designs. Still, though the
reasons for the crash are known, the odds are astronomical againstsuch a series of incidents building in a chain of events whereby two
aircraft on converging courses meet under just those circumstances.
What was the final factor, chance or cycles, that drew pilots andpassengers towards the point of collision?
How could this cyclic theory be used in conjunction with the flying
profession to minimize accidents and loss of life? I have been told that
it would be impossible to ground a pilot on certain days to ensuresafety; in which case, the pilot is literally sent out on a mission of
death and disastrously grounds his passengers and himself for eternity!
One of these times, after every other precaution has failed, this theorywill be a universally accepted and established system, especially in all
fields of transportation.
A Natural Blueprint
The Cyclic Law is a natural blueprint of time in relation to all
nature and to human mind. We know that booms and depressionsshow through the rhythms of nature as do seasons; the difference is
that seasons are a natural phenomenon designed to take care of growth
and fruition in all phases of life; this is seen most clearly in plant life.

Booms and depressions appear rhythmically because all human
activities, being subject to time, must show an established rhythmicpattern relative to time itself. Does this mean that naturally and
rhythmically we must be subject to depressions and lean years? It is to
be presumed that all life is based upon the positive and negative
principle, which represents the duality of life, the principle ofopposites: hot and cold, winter and summer, north and south, bitter and
sweet, light and dark, day and night, male and female, abstract
(reason) and finite (the physical and material plane of existence), blackand white, etc.; all phases of life have their counterpart within the
natural law. Booms and depressions in man's activities over the ages
have been almost as exact as the swing of a pendulum. To show howopposite man's mind and thinking is to the natural law, he has
seemingly known of these rhythms through repetition and has
endeavoured to use his knowledge destructively, basing businessethics upon principles designed purposely for profit, regardless of
mental and spiritual progress.
Reversing the Natural Trend
For instance, when nature decrees a fat year--when crops areprolific and humanity as a whole should benefit through the
bounteousness of nature--the opposite occurs as far as man's affairs are
concerned. Because bounteous crops mean low prices in the businessworld, profits and business progress are restricted. Thus man's living
and buying power are affected, and conditions are classified as bad.
When crops are scarce and prices are higher, business is more activebecause of the larger profit. Thus, when there is a scarcity because ofa lean year, man finds it more difficult to buy food; or, should I say, he
pays higher prices for what he buys. In this way man is stopped from
benefiting through the bounteousness of nature--which naturallyinterferes with his accumulation, through lower prices. This condition
has often caused purposeful destruction of crops and the misuse of
subsidies to help present the business failures in bounteous fat years.
If man could find the happy medium of sowing and storing through
the fat years to alleviate the shortage of the lean years, then prices
could be kept stable at all times; of course, this might eliminate booms,which allow cunning and avaricious minds to gain control of goods
and commodities that are scarce and to make huge profits forthemselves. Booms and depressions represent nature finding a
balance, because as far as a pendulum swings one way it must equalize
itself by swinging just as far back in the opposite direction.

We have summertime and wintertime in nature, the two opposites.
Booms and depressions in the business world are engineeredmovements reversing the natural trend to take advantage of the
gullibility of human nature; they are supposedly subject to the law of
supply and demand, with the supply never in doubt as far as prices are
concerned even though the quantity may be purposely curtailed. Thusare major movements in market conditions relative to the natural law,
only reversed for business reasons. What should be good conditions
by nature are bad in business and vice versa. This is what is termedtaking advantage of the natural law profitably.
The Time Clock of Nature
Yes, nature does endeavour to maintain a balance as shownthrough the action of the pendulum, but man must always maintain the
middle path between the higher and lower. To do this he must learn
the natural movements of nature known as the Cyclic Law, the time-
clock of nature. What I mean is that it should be general knowledgethrough which all could benefit. Unfortunately, the Cyclic Law is
known only to a favoured few who comprise the basis of our business
structure or economic system, and the manipulation of markets of theworld testify to their knowledge, for the mass public invariably buys
into the market near the top instead of selling, and sells near the
bottom when it should be buying, and thus adds to the swing of themarkets to bring about more profitable conditions for those who are
cognizant of natural trends or rhythms. When financial credit is
restricted, it always has an adverse influence upon business progress
and accumulation; nevertheless, there must always be a depression tofind the bottom of the market where a few might benefit from the folly
of the masses, who through over-buying at the wrong time create the
right conditions to break the market profitably and bring the rightbuying point for those not caught on the wrong side of the market
trend.
Thus does man misuse the Cyclic Law for personal gain at the
sacrifice of the many. Man, in his ignorance, always goes against the
cycles because he uses his emotions through greed and personalfeelings instead of using his mind and spiritual principle.
Adjustment of Opposites
This brings us back to the point that the Cyclic Law is man's guideas far as nature is concerned; what man does with that knowledge or
what happens to man without the knowledge is quite evident in the

confusion and chaos of our present conditions. A natural depression,
or lean year, represents the winter period of a long protracted period,in the same way that we have spring, summer, autumn, and winter, in
the yearly periods; so we also have the same seasons over greater
periods of the lesser and greater ages. All of nature is governed by the
same law, only in various degrees relative to time.
Bringing the Cyclic Law down to a practical basis and according tohuman and natural events, we find that the lean years--which represent
the depression or wintertime periods of nature--create the most
destructive conditions, such as: floods, storms, earthquakes, and lossof life through unnatural and unseasonable conditions. This reaches
out into all forms of life affecting crops and wild life and, in the
ensuing confusion, man's mind is also affected and man lives in
negative thinking; of course, he always does, but more so when natureis in a depressed condition. This is when nature is over-bounteous on
the wrong side.
When man observes the cyclic rhythms of nature working both
constructively and adversely, he should realize that nature is merelytelling the story of the duality of nature or the adjustment of the two
opposites, and that human mind is supposed to set the balance or
middle path to demonstrate man's stewardship and control over the
natural law. It could be said--although instantly disputed by thelayman--that man, being the only known creative channel upon this
earth, should have and express that power of balance that would insure
complete seasonal rhythms as intended by nature, and thus eliminatefloods and destructive storms which represent excesses of nature with
their attendant destruction to property and lives.
Mind and Time
I am attempting to establish the connection of human mind withthe rhythms of nature, showing that human mind being born into the
finite plane of existence is subject to, or guided by, the cyclic rhythms,
which when understood point to human mental progress. When mansees the divine plan working in nature he will be able to conform his
plans to the divine plan, and thus become One, or the completepositive and negative: the reason and being combined in balance.
As nature expresses both negative and positive conditions in the
depressions and plentiful seasons of nature, so does the human mindhave its negative and positive conditions: times when man is up and
down in his thinking, when he tends more to depressed and emotional

thoughts and his analysis and good judgment are affected, and his
convictions are completely negative.
You should know the cyclic conditions affecting your thinking and
judgment and you will know why you made poor decisions in the pastand could never understand the cause of your mistakes and bad
judgment. Only now, as you look back to any bitter experience of the
past, do you realize what vast changes can take place in your thinking--depending upon the time and conditions surrounding you at the time.
There are times when everything seems to come your way with the
least effort, and at other times, despite all you do, nothing seems towork in your favour. These are the cyclic conditions through which
you are passing.
Few people couple the events in their lives with cyclic conditions,
or the nature of the hour, day, month, and year. With knowledge,
one's mind is never affected adversely because of the depressedconditions of the day or month; yet thousands of people obey the urge
to commit suicide, to fight, show anger or fear, or to express strange
mental and emotional phenomena on certain days. Is not a lunatic'smind adversely affected at the full of the moon?--thus showing how
strong are the forces of nature relative to one's thinking. Even dull
days affect millions of people's thinking and health, whilst on the
sunny or positive days everyone feels stimulated and inspired in theirthoughts.
The point is to find the direct relationship of one's mind to the
hours, days, months, and years, to know whether one's thoughts are
positive or otherwise; the nature of one's decision may well affectone's entire life materially, emotionally, and through the health. Every
thinker knows that his thinking and judgment may be affected byoutside conditions. The vital thing is that in the past no one seems to
have had any positive standard of measurement.
Quality of a Day
Every day you observe the calendar to establish the date and the
day of the month, and you listen for weather forecasts to determine theday weatherwise, and then you study your business and personal
agenda. What could be more systematic, logical, and complete? But
there is one very vital point that is overlooked, and that is: "What is the
quality or nature of the day business wise? Will your efforts succeed?Will there be tests, adverse conditions, and bitter experiences? Is it the
time to further your efforts along particular lines? Is it a promotional
day, a technical, detailed day, a day for social contacts, a day to buy

and sell profitably?" This has nothing to do with astrology, which
bases earthly conditions upon the position and movement of heavenlybodies.
The Cyclic Law is based upon the divine law of mathematics; allsecrets scientific and otherwise are revealed through mathematics as
are the nature and conditions of the hours, days, months, and years of
the calendar year--as well as the great ages. Let us take for instancethe great ages of empires, which, like all lesser cycles, are based upon
the principle of nine and multiplied in the greater ages.
Life of an Empire
It was in 1215 A.D. that King John of England signed the MagnaCarta at Runnymede. This established the British Empire under the
existing laws and tenets, the same as now incorporated in the UnitedStates' legislative structure. The life cycle of empires is seven hundredand twenty-nine years; thus *1944 saw the passing of the British
Empire as dominating the financial and economic structure of the
world. It still has a strong influence politically because of pastexperiences, but through inferior trade balance it has surrendered
world leadership. Thus, the period from 1215 to 1944 represents the
life cycle of the British Empire.
Would it not seem uncanny that mathematics in the form of the
Cyclic Law should play such a vital role in determining the birth and
death of an empire? It always has and always will; but so little isknown of the vital influence of mathematical cycles--even in relation
to our physical and finite existence.
No Life Without Mathematics
Nothing is existent without mathematical measurement, which is
dimension itself and the measurement of dimension. Mathematical
measurement is fact and rule, and expresses as dimension, form, andtime, to measure its infinite gradations of existence.
The principle of thirds to make up the complete trinity of nine is
symbolized in the heavens through the nine planets. Thus conditions
upon Earth are subject to the divine law of mathematics, only
symbolized by the planets and positions but not affected by the astral

body itself. Each planet has its mathematical position, which is
significant in itself. Where would astronomy and astrology be withoutmathematics? By the same token, there could be no life without
mathematics. Every day of one's life has a quantity or position in the
calendar; but the most vital point overlooked by man is the quality or
divine essence of the day, its characteristics, opportunities,experiences, and its complete picture that expresses constructively
only when man's mind is tuned to harmonize with that day; lacking the
timing or balance, the negative conditions predominate.
Everyone should know his cyclic conditions; this knowledge isextremely vital to a businessman whose activities are linked with so
many. You should know what you are capable of accomplishing and
the nature of your planning so as to get the most out of your efforts.
One must not blame the cycle days for bringing destructive conditions;no day is cyclically destructive or adverse; only man makes it so
because he does not know the nature of the day and, therefore, does
not plan his affairs and activities relative to the cycle day. On atechnical day one should not attempt promotional or creative ventures,
nor make changes or travel to any extent, but should look after detailed
development such as systematizing, putting things in order,bookkeeping, mechanical pursuits, or any detailed work that requires
system and order.
A Right Time To Sow
When one attempts to do things contrary to the nature of the day,events do not work out as desired; wherein lie the mistakes and
disappointments. The nature or quality of the day is very important to
know; doing what one should do insures success in one's undertakings.The daily cycle is part of a nine-day cycle extending from seeding to
fruition; the same is true in the yearly cycles. Each year has its own
specific cyclic vibration or quality, and one's plane of mind and one'splanning should be relative. If the cycle day shows that one should go
out, make new contacts, and promote something necessitating travel
and much activity, then one should not get involved in small technical
details and system. Get busy on those days and you will succeed in
your endeavours.
Technical days are not conducive to quick thinking and action, nor
is the mind versatile and sensitive; one lacks snap-judgment, and that
is why one is apt to be involved in accidents of a minor or majornature. Knowing the nature or quality of each day is man's protection.
It is only as one goes against nature that unfortunate conditions arise.
There are no lucky days; only when one has sown constructive seeds in
-
8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The
23/24
The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 23
his affairs and carried through the growth of the cycle to the fruition
period does he receive fruitful and accumulative conditions so oftenexpressed as lucky days. If one starts into business at the seeding
period of the cycle with the necessary knowledge relative to that
business, and expresses initiative, positive thinking, and action
according to cyclic days, months, and year, success should be reachedby the eighth year of the nine-year cycle. This also applies to daily
cycles. Starting into business is like sowing a seed; there is a right
time to sow--not just any time. Business, like all other things, shouldgrow and succeed the same as all other things under the universal
cyclic year.
A Country's Cycle
Every country has its own cycle, depending upon its confederation
date, and this date denotes the business conditions and the part it isplaying in international affairs. Let us take, for instance, the United
States of America which was in its two-cycle year in 1961; its majorproblems of that year was that of associations with other countries,
internal troubles affecting its peoples, and unity. It was a year of much
propaganda, diplomacy, and much endeavour to keep its nationaldignity in the eyes of the world, as many mistakes were made because
of lack of co-ordination, system, and initiative. In other words, "Much
talk and little action." There were many diplomatic leaks and muchmistrust between political and committee executives, and much
difficulty in retaining herstatus quo. It was a year when "the least said,
the soonest mended." The Cuban fiasco was a good example of thingsdone without proper systematic forethought in a two-cycle year.
The above are the conditions of a two-cycle year. The two-cycle isreally a good year to make friends internationally, and not enemies.
Unfortunately, the leaders do not know how the country's destiny is
shaped cyclically and so they go on making their mistakes. This isdiscovered by the close of the year.
Every state or province has its own individual cycles, which showthrough the difference in financial and business standing, through
weather and crop conditions, and material progress. The same appliesto cities. They too differ in crime ratio, employment, tragedies,amount of progress in building, attraction of industries, and their
financial standing in relation to other states or provinces.
-

World Cycle
Then there is a universal cycle governing the world, with each
country having its own national cycle within the universal cycle, just
like a watch with wheels within wheels. It is a very wonderful pictureto see and contemplate the individual cycles working within the
universal cycle, each showing its own national and international
standing in world affairs. It is interesting to note the belligerent
attitude between the United States and Russia for such a long time, andthe puny attempts to establish summit meetings--at which nothing is
done. When one understands the influence of cyclic conditions upon
nations, it is easy to see the reason for diplomatic and economicmanoeuvres that are not understood by the layman. When diplomatic
moves are made by countries, the knowledge of cycles enables one to
determine their stability and their ultimate success or failure. Thecycle dates of the country when leaders of countries are elected tell the
story of their success or failure.
Basic Laws of Life
It stands to reason that every action and reaction in the lives ofpeople, both great and small, must have some relationship to divine
law. What greater universal law could there be than mathematics?
Are not numbers the pathway to God? In Freemasonry, in Morals and
Dogma, we are told, "Everything lies veiled in numbers."
Mathematics is designated as the universal language because it is thesame in all races, past, present, and future. It is the revelator of allsecrets.
Learn through the Cyclic Law to see the negative and positiveconditions that will come in the future, and learn the basic rules of life
so that your decisions may be made while your mind is in a positive
plane of thinking; do not attempt to tackle problems when undernegative conditions arising from the adverse influence of your cycle
days. Knowing the Cyclic Law allows you to plan constructively, to
find your natural balance in nature, and to suit your mind always to
positive conditions. You will know when you are in a depressedperiod and you will know how, through emotional and mental control,
to place yourself in the driver's seat and be able to handle any
situation--as everyone should!
Do not be afraid of the future; master it by linking your mind withtime, which represents your past, present, and future, and learn to
create your future as you wish it. This is your birthright.
