The rule of opposites

The next principle is the rule of opposites. Everything in the universe has an opposite Opposites can manifest themselves as literal opposites or as counterparts. Opposites are needed in order to define anything. For example, how can you define something that is high, if you don't know what low is and vice versa. It seems necessary to have opposites in the universe. Counterparts are necessary for relativity. A plane flying in the sky can be high to an observer on earth, but to an observer on the moon it is low. It just depends on what two counterparts or opposites you are comparing in order to define anything. Opposites are needed for relativity to exist. Opposites have a geometric meaning that can be represented by a star polygon called a hexagram.

STAR POLYGONS

Star polygons convey a wealth of mathematical information while at the same time symbolic information which can only be understood by the trained eye. Those who understand these underlying meanings see a whole new world in them. One example is the pentagram. It has historically been considered by many magical and religious cults to have important symbolism. The hexagram along with the heptagram has symbolic significance in the Kabbalah and the Wicca. Many ancient cultures used to calculate certain things and teach sacred or occult knowledge from generation to generation with star polygons. Star polygons represent cyclical as well as geometric knowledge--both mathematical and symbolic. Later on, we will learn about other star polygons and their meanings and applications to the universe.

For right now, I will show you the star polygon that corresponds to the rule of opposites--the hexagram. It has two equilateral triangles opposite each other. Long ago, it represented information coming down from heaven to the earth and man and information going back up. But here, it represents opposites.

FEMININE AND MASCULINE

Everything has an opposite. The opposite of cold is hot and the opposite of light is dark. The night has the day. Life has death. The opposite of man is woman. In this case, the opposite is a counterpart. Sometimes opposites are true opposites or counterparts. All things have thier own name or label but can all be classified as feminine or masculine. Looking at all things in this way makes it easier to understand how things work in the universe. Everything in the universe has a male and a female part. It's just a question of being able to identify which is masculine and which is feminine. Opposites make things definable and also provide the mechanism for change. One example is electricity. It has two parts which are labeled + and -. In my system they are feminine and masculine with positive being masculine and negative being feminine. When you have a charged battery with no connection between the poles nothing happens. The moment you connect the two opposite charges a current appears. This is what happens with other things in the universe as well. This is what gives the universe the force to change. The numerical representation for this is the number 2. That is why in a lot of physics equations you will see the number 2 pop up or see the feminine and masculine in things. It doesn't only have to be 2 times something, but even something squared, for instance, can be a representation of this.

Here are some examples:

A circle. The first half is masculine and the second half is feminine. In fact the equation for the circumference of a circle is 2*π*radius. There's the 2. Also 1*π*radius is half a circle.

Earth and sun. Earth is feminine and sun is masculine. In respect to gravitation you have the 2 m's in the equation (masses) and we have r * r. As far as life on earth is concerned, you need both the earth and sun. Even tidal flexing is caused by an earth-sun relation.

Wave. Upper part is masculine, lower part is feminine.

Night and day. Night is feminine and day is masculine.

Atom. Nucleus is masculine and electrons are feminine.

Relativity. Observer and object. Observer is masculine and object is feminine.

Human brain. Left side is masculine and right side is feminine.

Here's a beautiful example of this principle with this exponential equation:

e^x=sinh(x)+cosh(x)

There they are. The two great halves of the universe with sinh(x) being masculine and cosh(x) being feminine.
   

SUN--EARTH RELATIONSHIP AND LIFE ON EARTH

Life is a product of feminine and masculine parts. Without the feminine and masculine working together there would be no life. Let's take the case of life on earth, the sun is masculine, and  the earth feminine. Without both, life is not possible. If there is no sun the oceans and the atmosphere would freeze and no free energy would get to Earth, thus, no life. Without the Earth, it would be pure sun--no water and extreme heat, thus, no life. So we mix the feminine, earth and her water, with the masculine, the sun and his energy, and we get life. The sun hits the water and makes clouds appear in the earth's atmosphere. Currents in both the ocean and the air appear then clouds of water vapor--the change due to the masculine and feminine forces acting on each other that I was talking about earlier. Afterwards, lightning is produced and strikes the water. This gives certain chemicals the ignition energy to start propagation and be "alive." Thus, lightning is the product of its feminine and masculine parts thanks to the earth and the sun. If earth-like life exists on other planets, lightning would probably be one of the precursors necessary for its existence. On planets where tidal heating starts life, the masculine and feminine forces would still be needed to produce such energy.

Lightning is a product of the sun and the earth working together

Another example of the feminine and masculine forces is the double helix of DNA. One side is feminine and the other side is masculine. All life on earth has a masculine and feminine side. I am sure that, on other planets, female and male in species exist.

DNA molecule

Another example of feminine and masculine is chirality in chemistry.

Feminine and masculine sides in molecules 

We must always remember that nothing is 100%. Nothing is 100% masculine or feminine. They come in degrees. Furthermore, everything is relative. For instance, earth is feminine when compared to the sun. However, the earth is masculine when compared to the moon.

Unfortunately the rule of opposites always has consequences which are not so pleasant. For instance, "good" and "bad" beings in the universe. Not only on earth will there be "good" and "bad" beings. But also in the rest of the universe. So we better hope that some advanced bad beings don't come our way. And we better not be so naive as to think that they're going to be friendly to us. Humans aren't even friendly to each other. Remember what the Spanish conquerers did when they arrived to America. It was a big mistake for the indigenous people to believe that they were going to be friendly. At the same time, there is a possibility that we will make contact with friendly beings first.

The universe takes no sides. In fact, it needs opposites to exist. That is the reason that the bad can win just as well as the good and we shouldn't have a false sense of protection for being good. The universe isn't for any side in particular, it is both sides. So we must simply choose our side and stick to it. What side are you on?

Another consequence of this principle is 2 sides of most multicelled organisms. With one side being feminine and the other side masculine. This includes humans; the left side is feminine and the right side is masculine (opposite the sides of the brain. For this reason, multicelled life on other planets would tend to be 2 sided.

In the human brain there are definitely differences between the left and right sides of the brain--one side is masculine and the other is feminine.

Masculine and feminine forces are the main factor of pair production in quantum mecanics.
