The Eight Fundamental Principles
The Eight Fundamental Principles
Teachings from Earth Medicine
By
Kenneth Meadows
Earth Medicine helps us to come to terms with human existence and to recognize that we are each part of the dynamic nature of the earth environment in which we are experiencing consciousness in physical manifestation. Earth Medicine helps us to see ourselves as part of a greater whole yet, paradoxically, to recognize that the whole is also within ourselves.
Earth medicine is about character and the development and unfoldment of character because the character is our true face. Everything else, including our physical looks is but a ‘mask’
Earth Medicine is about extending the range of our perception and
developing our inner senses so that we become more aware. Some people describe this extension of awareness as extrasensory perception. But this kind of perception is not extra at all. It is not a question of developing extra senses. We can’t obtain them from some external source of supply.
We can’t be awarded them from some educational establishment. We can’t qualify for them. We have them already. The trouble is that we haven’t made use of them so they need to be awakened from their neglect. Earth medicine helps that awakening.
Earth Medicine embraces the eight fundamental principles of ancient wisdom.
THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM
All is mind. The universe is mental. Everything you see around you is solidified thought. Every man made object is the result of thought. Matter and energy are different expressions of thought one manifests the other unmanifest.
THE PRINCIPLE OF SIMILARITIES
Mind whether manifest or unmanifest is constructed of circles within spiraling circles and parellal spheres. So what is within is mirrored without. If one sequence is known on one circle, another sequence of a similar type in a parallel sphere bears a proportional resemblance to it.
In some philosophical schools of thought this is known as the law of correspondences.
THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM AND VIBRATION
Everything vibrates. Everything flows in and out and pulsates. The pendulum swing manifests in everything the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left. And he rhythm compensates. The atom is vibration thought is vibration change your mood or mental state and you change your personal vibration.
THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY
Everything is dual. Everything has polarity and its pair of opposites. Opposites are identical in nature but different in degree. Everything is yang or yin and has its masculine or feminine principle. Gender manifest on all planes. Conflicts are clashes of opposites . They can be resolved by bringing the opposites together to form a harmony and earth
medicine shows how this can be done. Otherwise one opposite is repressed by the other and this dominance adds to the conflict.
THE PRINCIPLE OF CONNECTIONS
Everything in existence is an energy system within a greater energy system and comprises whirling and dancing groups of interpenetrating energy forms. Individual manifestations whether human animals’ vegetable or mineral or celestial are thus connected like the strands of a spiders web.
THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
Every cause has an effect. Ever effect has its cause. There are many planes of causation and everything happens according to law. Chance is the name of a law not yet recognized.
THE PRINCIPLE OF FREQUENCIES
Every individual is a set of personal frequencies. Everyone and
everything has a personal vibratory pattern that is unique. Each pattern is different from all others, just as fingerprints are not matched by any other person. Earth medicine provides knowledge of some of the frequencies that are shared with others so that they can be made use of to discover others. These frequencies are called totems.
THE PRINCIPLE OF SELF-REALISATION
You are not your body. You only use your body during earth life because it is the most suitable vehicle for the earth environment and for this lifetime. You are not your mind. Your mind is used to think and to feel and to evaluate impressions reached through the physical senses and to discern physical reality.
You are the one who does the thinking. You are the one who chooses what to think. You are the watcher within. You can think and with your thoughts you can create. You create through the power of the mind. You are not matter at all but spirit, which is eternal and does not suffer death only transformation.
