This fundamental law consists of the fact that every phenomenon, on whatever scale and in whatever world it may take place, from molecular to cosmic phenomena, is the result of the combination or the meeting of three different and opposing forces. <\/p>\n<p>Modern thinking recognizes the existence of two forces and the necessity of these two forces for the production of a phenomenon:<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u2022    force and resistance,<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u2022    positive and negative magnetism,<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u2022    positive and negative electricity,<br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u2022    male and female cells, <br \/>\n&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u2022    and so on. <\/p>\n<p>But it does not observe even these two forces always and everywhere.  No question has ever been raised as to the third, or if it has been raised it has scarcely been heard.<\/p>\n<p>According to real, exact knowledge, one force or two forces, can never produce a phenomenon.  The presence of a third force is necessary, because it is only with the help of a third force that the first two can produce what may be called a phenomenon, no matter in what sphere.  The teaching of the three forces is at the root of all ancient systems.  <\/p>\n<p>The first force may be called active or positive; the second, passive or negative; the third, neutralizing.  But these are merely names, because in reality <u>all three forces are equally active and appear as active, passive, and neutralizing, only at their meeting points<\/u>, that is to say, only in relation to one another at a given moment. <\/p>\n<p>The first two forces are more or less comprehensible to us, and the third may sometimes be discovered either at the point of application of the forces, or in the &#8216;medium&#8217;, or in the &#8216;result&#8217;.  But, in general, the third force is not easily accessible to direct observation and understanding.  The reason for this is to be found in the functional limitations of the human being&#8217;s ordinary psychological activity and in the fundamental categories of our perception of the phenomenal world, that is, in our sensation of space and time resulting from these limitations. <\/p>\n<p>People cannot perceive and observe the third force directly any more than they can spatially perceive the &#8216;fourth dimension&#8217;.  But by studying oneself, the manifestations of one&#8217;s thought, consciousness, activity, habits, desires, and so on, the human being can learn to observe and to see in themselves the action of the three forces.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: right;\">-Paraphrase from Ch.1 of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lulu.com\/shop\/daath-gnosis-and-pd-ouspensky\/in-search-of-the-miraculous-fragmentos-de-una-ense%C3%B1anza-desconocida-vol1\/paperback\/product-21672394.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>In Search of the Miraculous<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Three Primary Forces and the Work upon Oneself<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLet us suppose, for instance, that a person wants to work on themselves in order to change certain characteristics, to attain a higher level of being. <\/p>\n<p>[1] Their desire, their initiative, is the active force. <\/p>\n<p>[2] The inertia of all their habitual psychological life which shows opposition to their initiative will be the passive or the negative force.<\/p>\n<p>The two forces will either counterbalance one another, or one will completely conquer the other, but, then, as a result of this battle, the winning force will become too weak for any further action.  Thus the two forces will, as it were, revolve around each other: one absorbing the other and producing no result whatever.  <u>This may continue for a lifetime.<\/u> <\/p>\n<p>A person may feel desire and initiative, but all this initiative may be absorbed in overcoming the habitual inertia of life, leaving nothing for the purpose towards which the initiative ought to be directed.  And so it may go on until the third force makes its appearance, in the form, for instance, of <em>new knowledge <\/em>, showing at once the advantage or the necessity of work on oneself and, in this way, supporting and strengthening the initiative. <\/p>\n<p>[3] Then the initiative, with the support of this third force (in this case the new knowledge), may conquer inertia and the person becomes active in the desired direction.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of the action of the three forces, and the moments of entry of the third force, may be discovered in all manifestations of our psychic life, in all phenomena of the life of human communities and of humanity as a whole, and in all the phenomena of nature around us.  But at the beginning it is enough to understand the general principle: <strong>every phenomenon, of whatever magnitude it may be, is inevitably the manifestation of three forces<\/strong>; one or two forces cannot produce a phenomenon, and if we observe a stoppage in anything, or an endless hesitation at the same place, we can say that, at the given place, the third force is lacking. <\/p>\n<p>In trying to understand this it must be remembered (at the same time) that people cannot observe phenomena as manifestations of three forces because <u>we cannot observe the objective world in our subjective states of consciousness<\/u>.  And in the subjectively observed phenomenal world we see in phenomena only the manifestation of one or two forces.  If we could see the manifestation of three forces in every action, we would then see the world as it is (and therefore see things in themselves). <\/p>\n<p>But <strong>remember that a phenomenon which appears to be simple may actually be very complicated, that is, it may be a very complex combination of trinities<\/strong>.  But we know that we cannot observe the world as it is, and this should help us to understand why we cannot see the third force.  The third force is a property of the real world.

Anytime there is Creation, anytime something is created, these 3 Forces work together (in unison) to do so.  Therefore, we have a saying in Gnosis: \u201cthe Law of Three Creates\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is the Trinity, the Triple-Unity, that is both 3 and 1, because the three aspects always work together.  This is the Logos, the Verb or \u201cWord of God\u201d (and God keeps his Word).<\/p>\n<p>If you remember in the Gnostic Psychology series (<a href=\"index.php\/psychology\/gnostic-psychology\/counteracting-negative-emotions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Class 7<\/a>), we talked about how Negative Emotions make us into Slanderers and Liars and that \u201cthe lie produces a mistaken connection with our own Divinity\u201d.  Lets understand this in more detail:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cthe energy of the Ancient of Days (the Being of the Being), flows harmoniously through the 10 Sephiroth of the Hebrew Kabbalah, to finally reach the kingdom of Malkuth (the psycho-physical person)\u2019.  And when this energy \u2018becomes misconnected it produces an intentional dislocation or disconnection of the mind, and as a consequence of it, the lie appears\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Lie, which we tell intentionally or unintentionally, creates a disconnection of our Essence or Consciousness with our Divinity.  This lie can often be not wanting to face the truth for whatever reason, which is why we recommended in the Gnostic Psychology class to take these things to meditation so that we can discover the Cause of this \u2018avoidance of the Truth\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that Negative Emotions are often the result of our unwillingness to cooperate with the inevitable, and in life, we have to LEARN TO COOPERATE WITH THE INEVITABLE. <\/p>\n<p>So one of the first things we can do to start applying the Gnostic Kabalah within ourselves is to look at our words, our speech, and whether or not it is consistent with the facts.  Lets make efforts to stop our misuse of our word so that we can stop disconnecting ourselves from our Inner Divinity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Necessity of becoming Conscious of our Words<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is urgent to end the mechanicity of words, it is necessary to speak with precision, in a CONSCIOUS and opportune way.  It is necessary for us to be CONSCIOUS of the verb.  There is a responsibility in words and to play with the verb is a sacrilege.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody has the right to judge anyone; it is absurd to slander our fellow men; it is stupid to murmur about others\u2019 lives.  Criminal words fall back upon us sooner or later, like a ray of vengeance.
