The guiding principles that the religious group Summum wanted to place in a Pleasant Grove, Utah, park where the Ten Commandments are also displayed:
The Seven Aphorisms of Summum
- The Principle of Psychokinesis: Summum is mind, thought; the universe is a mental creation.
- The Principle of Correspondence: As above, so below; as below, so above.
- The Principle of Vibration: Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.
- The Principle of Opposition: Everything is dual; everything has an opposing point; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes bond; all truths are but partial truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.
- The Principle of Rhythm: Everything flows out and in; everything has its season; all things rise and fall; the pendulum swing expresses itself in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.
- The Principle of Cause and Effect: Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is just a name for Law not recognized; there are many fields of causation, but nothing escapes the Law of Destiny.
- The Principle of Gender: Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; Gender manifests on all levels.
