    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

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    5/24

    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

    6/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 6

    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

    7/24

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    8/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 8

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    9/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 9

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    17/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 17

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    18/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 18

    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

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    19/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 19

    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

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    20/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 20

    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

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    21/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 21

    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

    *The Bretton Woods Conference in July, 1944, established the new international

    financial system

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    22/24

    The Cyclic Law Kabalarian Philosophy Ltd. Page 22

    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.

  • 8/3/2019 Cyclic Law The

    24/24

    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.
