SUMMARY AND REVIEW
This summary gives you a comprehension of the primary points of the chapter in the text. Fill in the brackets with words or phrases that complete the ideas.
1. "The Principles of knowing [ ] are Seven; those who know these possess the [ ] [ ] to whose touch all locked Doors open to [ ]." -- Summum
2. These seven great Principles will be discussed and explained at length in this work. A short explanation of each, however, will be given at this point, for all the [ ] of Summum have an [ ] with each other.
3. "SUMMUM is MIND; the universe is a [ ] creation."
4. This first great Principle embodies the idea that "All is [ ]."
5. This living [ ] performs gastrulation, which is a turning of itself inside out, manifesting its esoteric NATURE outwardly. Therefore, all the phenomenal worlds and universes are simply a [ ] [ ] of SUMMUM (MIND) subject to the laws of created things, and the universes, as a whole, and in their parts or units, have their existence in the Mind of [ ].
6. "As above, so below; as below, so [ ]." -- Summum
7. Just as a knowledge of the principles of geometry empowers the astronomer to measure distant suns and their movements while seated in an observatory, a knowledge of the Principles of Correspondence empowers you to reason intelligently from the known to the [ ].
8. "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything [ ]." -- Summum
9. This Principle embodies the idea that everything is in motion; everything [ ]; nothing is at rest; facts which science endorses and which each new scientific discovery tends to verify.
10. "Everything is dual; everything has an opposing point; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are [ ] in nature, but different in degree; extremes bond; all truths are but [ ] truths; all paradoxes may be [ ]." -- Summum
11. It explains that in everything there are two opposing points or opposite [ ] (complementarity), and that opposites are really only the two extremes of the [ ] event, with many [ ] degrees between them. To illustrate, "hot and cold," although opposites, are really the same [ ], the differences consisting merely of degrees of the same "[ ]."
12. "Everything flows out and in; everything has its season; all things rise and [ ]; the pendulum swing expresses itself in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the [ ]; rhythm [ ]." -- Summum
13. All things "come in and out of [ ]" between the two opposing points which exist in accordance with the Principle of Opposition described previously. There is always an action and a [ ]; an [ ] and a retreat; a rising and a [ ]. This is in the affairs of the [ ], suns, worlds, [ ], animals, mind, [ ], and matter.
14. "Every cause has its [ ]; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to Law; [ ] is a name for Law not recognized; there are many fields of causation, but nothing escapes the [ ] [ ] [ ]." -- Summum
15. This principle embodies the idea that there is a [ ] for every effect; and an [ ] from every cause. It explains that "everything happens according to law"; that nothing ever "merely happens"; that there is no such thing as [ ]; that while there are various fields of cause and effect,the higher [ ] the lower fields, still nothing ever entirely escapes the Law ([ ]).
16. "Gender is in everything; everything has its [ ] and [ ] principles; Gender manifests on all levels." -- Summum
17. The NATURE of the [ ] of CREATION displays in this principle. This is a fact not only of the physical level, but of the mental and even the [ ] levels. On the physical levels the Principle presents itself as [ ]; on the higher levels it takes [ ] forms, but the Principle is ever the same. No creation, physical, mental, or spiritual, is [ ] without this Principle.
