Gloucester/Ottawa Seven Principles of Self-Defense

The Methods of Spiritual Self-Defense:

The Seven Hermetic Principles:

Mind (Mentalism): Reality is what we think it is. Everything in reality is manifested into existence due to first thinking of it. For creation to take place thought much be the seed that is planted. When a thought takes place, you must understand the responsibility required to bring it into reality. Thought is the beginning of all that is created in the universe.

Correspondence: There are no limits to the mind. As above, so below. What you create with your thought, emotion and action is what you will receive in response. The universe (both physical and non-physical) is a reflection of everything you produce. You will get what you ask for. You get what you create.

Vibration: Energy goes where attention flows. The universe (both physical and non-physical) vibrates throughout reality. Everything moves at all times. What you manifest into reality will respond in all different and unexpected ways. There is no part of reality that is solid. All matter is energy.

Polarity: Embrace true power. All of reality has been dual counterpart. Everything has its opposites to each other. Opposites are identical to each other but differ in degrees of operation. Without one you cannot have the other.

Rhythm: To love is to seek knowledge, to understand knowledge and to bring knowledge into right and moral action. Everything flows through a rising and falling path. The measure of the swing one way is the measure of the swing to its' counterpart.

Cause and effect: All power comes from within. Every cause has its effect. Every effect has its cause. Everything has a reaction equal to the action. All positive and negative actions will have a positive or negative consequence.

-The plane of effects (the physical world): This is where a manifested reality can form due to an underlying cause that has already taken place. No power to effect change lies here because it has become that which is truth. The truth cannot be undone.

-The plane of causality (the mental world): This is where a cause is set into motion before a manifested reality takes place. All power to effect change lies on this plane. The truth is created only when a cause becomes an effect.

Gender: Effectiveness is the measure of truth. Gender is in all of reality. All things have its masculine and feminine equality within the human mind. The left-brain hemisphere facilitates the Masculine aspect of the mind; intellect, logic, analytical and liner thought process. The right brain hemisphere facilitates the feminine aspect of the mind, intuition, creative, compassionate and holistic thought process.

To practice these principles of reality there is a requirement that is necessary if you are going to live in accordance with SPIRIT. Not employing these requirements will lead to negative outcomes. If the requirements are employed, then a positive outcome with occur.

Care (Thought): To give full intention to all behavior. What we practice care in will fuel our thoughts, emotions and actions to create the reality we choose. Behave properly.

Non-Violence (Emotion): To live without violating others’ rights. This includes all physical and non-physical aspects of Spirit. Do not harm.

Self Defense (Action): To protect yourself and others when rights are being violated. This includes all physical harm done to your own body or the physical body of others. Take no shit.

The trinity that creates all of reality and works hand-in-hand with the Law is a simple combination of behavior.

Thought: What we think about and say is the power of our creative minds. Thought gives birth to all things in reality. Without thought nothing would exist. Every idea has to start with a thought and/or a spoken word whether it is negative or positive.

Emotion: Once a thought or spoken word has been conceived intention is the next step. We must truly connect with our divinity and feel like the thought has already taken place. Emotion is what drives the intention into physical reality. It is the push that Spirit needs to assist you in manifesting the reality. When you ask for it then Spirit will respond to the request.

Action: This takes place after thought and emotion has been fully developed within the mind and body. After this happens an action will always take place. This is when manifesting reality occurs as a result of the thought has been realized and the emotion has been fueled with intention.

Beware this is a two-way door. Either the thought is positive and develops into a positive manifestation or the thought is negative and manifests into a negative result. Everything you think, feel and do will shape the person you turn into.

For example, if you were of the mind to always be thinking about the hardship you experience, and everything is always against you than the result will eventually be your continued suffering and will only attract the like-minded who also build that negative perspective. You will be surrounded by it to the point that you get the impression that this is how all life is. The thing is you invited it. You "talked" to Spirit (even unintentionally) by producing only negative thoughts and words and Spirit responded by giving you what you asked for. You said, "I want to suffer" and Spirit said, "Well, if that is how you want to spend your time".

We have the power to make a more positive and spiritually healthier world if we use our thought, emotion and action the way it was intended. This is no easy task. It's not supposed to be easy, but it is that simple. That is all you need to start with to begin your journey in building a relationship with yourself, your highest self and Spirit.
