You are Job (The Series, Part XII)
“The Lord giveth and Lord taketh away.” Job 1:21
“Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” Job 2:10
The Job mysteries encourage the initiate to master “Self,” pierce through the veil of illusion and gain active use of the seven divine cosmic principles. Within the scope of the physical components of the earthly experience, the life process as a system of initiation, urges the adept to first learn two universal principles that begins the chrysalis process of higher self fulfillment. These two principles are as follows: 1) the principle of rhythm and 2) the principle of polarity.
The mastery of these two universal and cosmic principles increases the growth potential of the initiate that undergoes the journey of the Job mysteries. Once completely understood, life as an initiation process begins to make more sense and the initiate then begins to seek greater challenges for greater enlightenment and psycho-spiritual mastery.
The life process can be symbolically observed from the standpoint of a swinging pendulum. If life were to be dissected and manipulated with the understanding that chaos has an origin of order, the initiate could then learn to utilize the seven universal and cosmic principles against one another to produce more definite outcomes in the chaotic expression termed life.
As stated earlier, the life process if viewed as a pendulum swinging in equal measurements to the left and then to the right, one could then grasp the sequences of human existence. This represents the principle of rhythm. This principle states that if goes to the left, then it ultimately has to come back to the right in equal distance and with equal time.
The next principle to be master is the principle of polarity. This principle teaches that if there is a positive, then there also is a negative. Combined, these principles (polarity and rhythm) teach that good (positive) will not always exist just as evil (negative) will not always exist. The pendulum that swings to the left of negativity has to eventually swing to the right of positivity with equal distance, equal momentum and in equal time. With this understanding of the universal and cosmic principles, the initiate quickly learns that God is not the blame for destruction, calamity, the fall of nations, economic hardship and health deficiencies. It is not God, but the universal order of physical existence that has to obey the cosmic and universal principles that govern man and other creations in the plane of Assiah (plane of manifestation). After the mastery of polarity and rhythm, the initiate then moves toward the understanding of the principle cause and effect. Combine these three principles and the law Karma then begins to take shape.
The ills of life are not personal as man is not singled out by God. Man in his state of natural growth, must learn to utilize the universal principles for his benefit as he learns to master self, his environment, his mind, his emotions and his vibrations. Then man will learn to be a governor instead of the one being governed.
