The Principle of Polarity

    Everything is dual; everything has poles; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree.

    The Axiom

    "Everything is dual; everything has poles; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree." This principle comes from The Kybalion (1908), which presents seven laws drawn from the Hermetic tradition attributed to Hermes Trismegistus.

    Meaning

    Hot and cold, love and hate, courage and fear are two ends of one scale. The Hermetist transmutes a state by moving along its scale rather than fighting it.

    Practice

    When you feel fear, ask what courage would look like one degree further along the same line.
