From the preoccupation of today we can recognize certain indications which present the tendencies and directions for the future development of humankind. We must be very mindful in order to distinguish the characteristics of the driving forces of the epoch among all the variables today. These indications are only signs, but from them, the far-sighted person can determine which processes are penetrating the depth of society and foresee the coming future. Such an indication is the Paneurhythmy.
"Paneurhythmy" is derived from three roots:
The background and principles of Paneurhythmy. It is a harmonious creative Manifestation of the Divine Origination within the whole cosmos.
At the beautiful sacred hour when all of nature is filled with joy for the sunrise, the living circle of Paneurhythmy is formed. Early in the morning, amid flowers and trees in bloom the rhythmic movements start. Who are these people who are forming the living circle of Paneurhythmy? These are the ones who strive to enter a world of poetry, freedom and creativity.
The following seven principles underlie the Paneurhythmy:
1. The Law of Supreme Intelligence
This states that everything is infused with Mind and supreme Intelligence. Everything in the world is manifestation of supreme Intelligence.
2. The Principle of Correspondence
This principle can be explained as the existence of correspondence or analogy among all things. In hermetic philosophy there is a saying, "As it is above, so it is below." For instance, there is an relationship between idea, tone, form, movement, color and number. There are correspondences among the chemical elements in the periodic table, among the colors of light and between natural processes such as: birth and death, the ebb and flow of the tides, the changes of the seasons, the ebb and flow of the inner life of man.
3. The Principle of Vibration or Movement
Everything moves, everything vibrates. Nothing is absolutely still These are facts confirmed by contemporary science. The vibrations of matter, energy, mind, even of the spirit are at different frequencies which increase as they move from matter towards the spirit. There is a multitude of types and levels of vibrations according to their frequencies. Natural phenomena can be investigated from the perspective of vibration as well as by other methods. For instance, one can study the vibration of light, sound, electricity, magnetism, the vibration of matter in its different states, in various organisms.
4. The Principle of Polarity
Everything in nature is dual and polarized. Duality is a basic Universal Law. For instance, there exist masculine and feminine principles in nature and positive and negative electricity. The earth, the human body, plants, eggs, crystals, etc. all have two poles; they are polarized.
5. The Law of Rhythm
Another Universal Law in nature is rhythm or periodicity. Everything in nature is rhythmic. For instance, there is a rhythm in the vibration of light, in the changes of the seasons, in the ebb and flow of the tides. There is also rhythm in the movements of the earth: the terrestrial axis makes fine little vibrations which form a whole circle around the poles for 25,000 years. Periodicity exists in the movements of the comets, in human life, in human history, etc.
6. The Principle of Cause and Effect
Everything in the world has a rational cause. Sometimes we think that the cause is irrational, but there is always a rational cause behind it .
7. The Law of Unity or Relatedness
All things in nature are similar and related to each other on the basis of unity. For instance, although the chemical elements seem very different at first, they are all based on electrons and condensed ether. All elements in reality are only different combinations of the same electrons. The relationship is more obvious with things in close connection to one another, but with those further apart, the connection simply lies deeper.
