Creation

Romans 1:20

Law of resemblence

“Ever since the creation of the world

God’s invisible qualities – his eternal

power and divine nature – have been

clearly seen…from what has been

made.”

So what is the world like?

Every entity possesses the dual

characteristics of

yang/masculinity/positivity and

yin/femininity/negativity

These dual characteristics are

complementary and mutually attractive

All Beings Masculinity Femininity

Humans Man Woman

Animals Male Female

Plants Stamen Pistil

If all things in the universe have masculine and feminine aspects, the

Ultimate Cause or Creator of the universe must also possess the dual

characteristics of masculinity and femininity. Within God these

characteristics are harmonised into oneness.

– + + –

So what is the world like?

Everything has two aspects: an outer form and an inner quality

The visible outer form resembles the invisible inner quality

The inner quality has a structure which is manifested in the outer form Palm reading

These two aspects are called “Dual characteristics of internal nature and external form”
