Note To Reader:

As you carefully read and study thisbook, you will undoubtedly come to

appreciate the universality of Mr.

Parkers mind and recognize theuniversal truths revealed through his

writings. Use the newfound knowledge

to develop your universal potential andcome to enjoy the beauties found in

establishing individuality of mind anduniversality of purpose.

During Mr. Parkers lifetime thereference to man and mankind had a

universal meaning that included bothsexes. Today there is much greater

emphasis on identifying the separate

sexes in order to make clear theirequality. Rather than alter the original

writings by changing all such

references to humans and humankind,

interpret these references as universalterms that include both sexes on an

equal basis.

Prologue

How strange that man has always felt such a strong akinship to

magic powers that many have sought through strange rites and magicwords to reveal all the secrets of nature and the answers to human

problems. There is such a power, but it is not revealed through

incantations, nor mystery; it is the basic key to science, time, space,

economics, health, balance of mind, and to every conceivable thing,including human nature and destiny. This profound power is not

unknown, although it is misunderstood in its entirety. It is the power

to analyze, theorize, weigh, measure, and deduce, to arrive at definiteand logical conclusions. Of such is the Power of the Word and the

Divine Principle of Mathematics working through the Cyclic Law,

which reveals the quality and unfoldment of the human mind through

time.

Time represents the unfoldment of the evolutionary forces of

nature working in the finite plane of existence through our calendarprinciple of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, and ages; it

is based upon the movement of the earth around the sun. When man

fully realizes that numbers are symbols of Divine Intelligence as wellas being mathematical gradations, that they have quality as well as

quantity, he will realize the relationship of season to time. A plant

grows according to time and season, which are predetermined. Thus is

God discernible through his own laws, governing the growth andunfoldment of all life upon the earth.

Perhaps, you as a businessman have been dreaming of the key thatwould reveal the nature and trends of our economic cycles. We are

told: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose

under the heaven," (Ecclesiastes 3:1), the secret being to find the

nature and experiences relative to time, so that it might be revealed ina practical way.

It is only logical to assume that the reason and plan of being iscontained within being itself, and it is man's duty to become the

interpreter. There is a magic key to the growth and unfoldment of

human mind, as well as to that of all existence, such as the nature ofthe ages. This magic key is the Cyclic Law, that reveals the

relationship of economic and natural conditions to the divine

measuring stick, mathematics, as the contents of this book will reveal.

Sincerely,

Yours in service,Alfred J. Parker


4/21



In this, the greatest age of science, system, and specific detail,where the completion of contracts embracing millions of dollars is so

vital, where the successful completion of national programs involvesnational pride and perhaps future security, it is of paramount necessity

that the greatest of all mysteries be solved: man's greatest investment

of all time, and that is TIME itself.

Have you ever stopped long enough to study time in all itsramifications? It is a most profound, yet satisfying, study and reveals

practically all the answers to life, especially the specific problems of

the businessman. There is an ancient passage so often quoted withoutlogical translation, as follows: "To every thing there is a season, and a

time to every purpose under the heaven . . . a time to plant and a time

to pluck up that which is planted." (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2) There is only

one way to understand anything and that is to go back to the basic lawof cause and effect. One must understand cause before he can

logically discuss effect.

Thou Shalt Not StealTime

What is man's relationship to time, to cause, and to effect? Timerepresents the life span of all things-the great ages, the birth, life and

death of man-all brought down to mathematical deduction where man

can count the ticking away of his life, second by second. It is the onlything that a man can really steal, because he does not create or own it;

it cannot be borrowed nor returned and, once gone or spent, can never

be retrieved. That is why in Christian parlance one is admonished,"Thou shalt not steal." (Exodus 20:15) Apparently, man was placedhere upon earth as a steward, to have dominion over all things, within

the period of time. It is a natural conclusion that man was intended to

make use of it in a constructive and progressive way, that each age oftime may exceed the previous one in human progress toward a specific

mental goal, where man would make constructive use of the fruits of

the earth and emulate divine qualities. This is the natural phenomenonthat all religions and philosophies use as their basic principle, yet

without any definite and practical plan. Science is definitely taking

advantage of time, with the result that man is hundreds of years ahead

of himself, scientifically, whilst mentally and spiritually he is agesbehind; consequently, science is perfecting powers of destruction so

much more vast than man's humanitarian progress is capable of

controlling. This is the universal aspect of time as related to the agesand to the masses.

Let us bring time down to a logical and practical basis and ask,"What is time?" To some, it represents an unknowable void, a never-


5/21


ending or perfectible vacuum that is discernible only in mental and

scientific growth in which the history of man is written upon the scrollof life.

Time, A Natural, Universal Phenomenon

To a thinker who realizes the basic reason behind all being, time isa natural unfoldment of life, and therefore, best expressed as the law of

growth, based upon the principle of seeding and harvest in every phase

of life. Seeing that it is a natural phenomenon, its relationship willhave to be defined logically so that its effect will be discernible in the

affairs of men.

To digress for a moment from the actuality of time as a calendarand systematic principle of mathematical deduction, we must first

establish time as a natural and universal phenomenon, and then bring it

down to a practical and workable basis as applied to the affairs of man

and especially along business lines. When you, Mr. Businessman,fully realize the quality and potency of time in your business affairs,

you will have control of a power so vast as to be beyond your wildestdreams.

When you look around and observe the uncompleted plans of men:

business programs that never work out as outlined, leaving muchunfinished and unsuccessful business despite most detailed agendas

and financial backing, you wonder how your planning and time could

be so far out. No wonder Robbie Burns said, "The best laid plans ofmice and men gang aft agley." A businessman should be able to plan

his business agenda with mathematical and systematic certainty. The

reason he cannot do so lies in the fact that he only recognizes thequantity principle of time and not the quality. A man knows howmuch time he has over which to measure his efforts for the year, but

disregards the admonition, "To every thing there is a season, and a

time for every purpose under the heavens," (Ecclesiastes 3:1), a time tosow seeds in every phase of endeavour.

Rhythms Of Nature

Now, let us discuss this quality and quantity side of life and time.

Time is deduced from the rotation of the earth around the sun. Thisgives us our calendar; it also gives us the seasons, which represent

quality because each season represents a quality of weather and

temperature in which grow the many species of flowers. Thus does

time express quantity and quality, with quantity giving time, distance,and calendar. Each species of plant has its own season in which it is

planted and will not naturally grow out of season. This natural law is

applicable to people, who also have their own individual cycle orseasons of time, both quantity and quality. Scientists have known for


6/21


many years that the quality of time runs in rhythms known as the

Cyclic Law; they also know that these rhythms bring certainconditions such as dry seasons and wet ones, sun spots, electrical

disturbances, high and low tides; they affect the breeding and death of

animals in their natural habitat and they denote the migration periods

of certain animals. Earthquakes, the exact movement of Halley'scomet and other heavenly bodies, the fat and lean years in crops, as

well as epidemics such as the plagues of the past, all manifested in

certain rhythms of time. Coming closer to home, we observe thechanging bull and bear markets in grains and stocks and what is known

to business as booms and depressions in all major industries, in real

estate, in general depressions, and the movement in individual cyclicconditions. These movements are based upon the number nine, the

basic rule of mathematics.

Science has known about these rhythms of nature but so far hasnever discovered the key that would unlock the exact knowledge of

application in a practical demonstration.

The proof of this principle makes us wonder why the knowledgehas not been discovered and revealed before, for, truly, time is man's

greatest investment; it is his very life, his happiness, success, health,

completeness in all things, his material and personal balance; it gives aclear picture of the present and of the future and replaces the element

of chance with an exact mathematical rule.

All nature comes under the one great universal law of growth and,

properly to understand this unfoldment of nature, a close study of plantlife will reveal the picture. The principle of mathematics is based

upon the trinity, or thirds; thus three times three symbolizes nine. Thefinite scale of natural growth is based upon nine; thus we will apply it

to plant growth as follows, each mathematical gradation standing for a

degree or phase of growth, with the number nine representing thecompleted pattern.

The Pattern of Plant Growth in Each Cycle

1st Cycle Seeding Time The seed is planted in the ground.

2nd Cycle Duality or Division The seed starts a root and stem.

3rd Cycle Manifestation Time Stem appears above ground. Itbecome acclimatized.

4th Cycle Test Period Growth of plant is suspended

temporarily whilst the life force is

diverted to strengthening the rootsystem. Plant is tested for coming

growth or failure.


7/21


5th Cycle Active Growth Strengthened root system addspower for concentrated growth.

Plant sprouts branches and leaves.

6th Cycle Budding Time orProcreation

Buds are formed and fill out ifplant is healthy, a promise and

indication of fruit depending upon

care and soil.

7th Cycle Flowers Appear Plant completes growth of leavesand branches, and rests from

labour or active growth. It divertsenergies to size, colour, and

fragrance of flowers.

8th Cycle Fruit On Flowers drop petals, and fruit orseed pods ripen. Fruit is plucked.

(Period of accumulation inbusiness).

9th Cycle Close of Cycle What fruit is not picked falls to

the ground. During fall and wintertime, seed pods are shaken by the

winds and distribute seeds for the

next season and cycle. Fruit liesunder leaf mulch and rots, leaving

seeds to create a new plant in the

spring.

Thus do we relate the old cycle with the new to show the law of

growth working through plant life.

A Natural Law for Human Mind

In the following table I will relate this natural law to activities ofthe human mind and to business affairs, to show the basic analysis

used in formulating a business agenda that will unfold according to

natural growth. It teaches how to apply certain forms of business

activities to certain years, months, or days, yes, and even to the hours.A plant never slips its growth-everything is in continuity. The same

applies to business affairs. There may be many phases of business

activities in your agenda, such as new business, establishing a clientelethrough association or advertising; this is the "formative period" in

business. Then there are the new contacts made and the business of

becoming established, weeding out poor contacts, putting one's rootsdeeper and justifying one's efforts. There is the period of


8/21


systematizing business methods preparatory to enlarging and

facilitating one's growth and preparation for promotion to benefit fromone's efforts in the following period. There is the period in every year

when money goes out almost faster than it comes in, when one is

assailed from all sides with bills. This is the period of redistribution of

wealth so as to facilitate buying power. We cannot make a profit onwhat we owe so we pay out to complete our obligations.

There is always that refinancing problem when funds for growthare urgently needed. Is the time ripe for borrowing funds? Can we

plan ahead on it with certainty? When should one expect the most

accumulative period? When should one buy and sell commodities orproperties at the best price? When are the times for a successful

department sale? How should one analyze the integrity of a business

client or his business? How can one tell the future financial conditions

of any stocks and bonds? When should one buy and sell? Whenshould changes or mergers be made? When is the best time to take a

vacation? To have a family? or to increase overhead expenditures?When is the most propitious time to meet and interview that specialclient or financing committee? Every action pertaining to your

personal and business activities must be arranged according to your

cycle chart, and your efforts combined with the natural andmathematical law, a divine or universal law, which provides the right

time and conditions for your every action.

A Key To Remove Uncertainty

How many business agendas are completed as expected? How

much is left to chance, and why? If you are engaged in competitivebusiness, why not use the key that will remove uncertainties and

confusion and put you ahead of the gambler type, who lives in hopes

and blind faith? You are under the cyclic law; I can prove it throughyour past mistakes and actions. A plant grows, not by chance but by a

natural pattern. Why don't you learn to gain by observation and

application to the natural laws, and thus remove the myst frommysticism?

How many times have men started into business only to fail, then

some time later again go into business with complete success? Why?

"There is a time to sow and a time to pluck up that which is sown."

Man, being out of tune with nature, invariably does things at the wrongtime: this is how bull and bear markets are formed. The public

invariably buys just at the time it should be selling and vice versa.

This is how markets are loaded and why success upon the stockmarkets is negligible. How completely can one prove the

dependability of the knowledge of cycles in the real estate profession?

One should know: when to make contacts; when to dicker for bestresults; how to recognize a good, clean deal; whether or not to hold


9/21


off, and for how long; when to collect money promised; when to be

careful of a proposition; how to understand and influence clients andbusiness associates.

A Badge of Ignorance

Millions of American business executives suffer through an ulcerof the stomach, necessitating operations and the use of drugs: this fact

has been linked with their success as though it contributed to it. It

actually is a badge of ignorance of the laws of nature that governharmony and peace of mind, and health. The reason for the ulcer is

too much intense concentration and worry, an exhausting applicationto long hours, and a negligible attempt to assume marriage

responsibilities. This destroys happiness, marital understanding, and

health; however, it is the price one must pay who does not haveknowledge of the Cyclic Law. One must pay with sacrifice of health

and happiness what one could gain with wisdom, understanding, and

peace of mind. Why remain on the casualty list?

Let us study the following chart as applied to mathematics and thelaw of growth-the Cyclic Law-relative to the nine-year cycle as

previously applied to plant growth.

1st cycle This is the year or month to seed or start businessactivity, under proper cyclic conditions.

2nd cycle Build through association, make friends, join clubs that

create good contacts. Your success lies through others-make yourself known. Remember the old adage: "One

good turn deserves another." Make use of associationsand entertain the right people. Help others. Be a goodfellow. This could be a happy and fairly successful

year. You will make many friends. The proper type of

friends determines your success.

3rd cycle Continue the above, but be careful of a loose tongue,criticism, and too much sociability of the wrong type.

The first half of the year could be very promising. Savefinances against a test period ahead. This year will offer

many promises and opportunities which should not be

pursued; carry on with what you started two years ago.

Do not pull up the roots. It is best to completeunfinished business by September, if possible;

otherwise, you are bound to have a disappointment.You will feel the first indication of a let-down in July.

Expenses could be heavy, involving a serious decision.

Over-financing or extended overhead in the first part of

the year could bring you a heavy test with some veryadverse conditions the following year that could be


10/21


disastrous to your business affairs. If you follow the

advice to save during the first half of this year, then yourtroubles will be minimized. The plans or suggestions of

the first half to make a change could well be disastrous

if carried through. Sit tight. "Save and cut down on all

overhead expenses" is the keynote of the third cycle.Your integrity and that of your business, your patience,

and forethought will be tested by the close of the year.

4th cycle This is what is termed the test year. (The same appliesin the monthly cycle). It represents in plant life and in

your business affairs the period when the shoot, havingappeared above ground, must become acclimatized to

the changing weather of the early spring; your affairs

will be tested. The plant is creating a stronger root

system to take care of growth above ground. The sameapplies in business and personal affairs. Growth is

taking place, only it is beneath the surface; i.e., it is notapparent and this could be quite disconcerting if you arenot prepared, and could influence serious decisions. In

business parlance, it represents similar conditions. Your

actions and growth will be tested should you havebecome misled by one of the spurious opportunities that

seemed so desirable in the first half of your last, or third,

cycle year. Increased overhead and any gamble entered

into last year will be heavily tested this year and couldcause you to have to refinance and adjust your affairs.

Lack of good judgment and finances could well be your

undoing. Only expert advice could save the day. Itdoes not have to be tragic, but it will be a test year. Do

not broaden out or assume financial responsibilities

above your normal ones. Do not make any majorchanges, invest, buy, or sell in a major way. Strengthen

your financial position by reducing overhead.

Systematize your affairs and prepare for activities of thenext five years. Be careful in your living habits or

nature will catch up with you, and your health could

suffer. "Draw in your horns" this year and play it safe.

Just carry on cheerfully and "stay with the ship."

Consolidate your business. This is the cycle year inevery businessman's life when, if he has not been wise,

he could be forced out of business. Be careful in yourdriving. Watch the other fellow.

5th cycle This is the year or month that you have been waiting

for: one of great activity, of expansion, and of businesspromotion. It is the year when you could expand your


11/21


investments to a great degree and try out schemes for

promotion. There could be changes and travel, andmany new and valuable contacts made. Take advantage

of opportunities. Try to relax between activities, and try

not to worry or your ulcer could bother you severely;

i.e., if you have one. If you follow this advice, you willnever be bothered that way. It removes uncertainties.

This could be the most active and progressive year of

the last five years, bringing into realization theseemingly good opportunities that were offered in the

early part of the third cycle year, but which did not

materialize satisfactorily. This is the cycle to try yourwings. Keep busy; do not be afraid to take a chance.

Let action be your keynote this year.

6th cycle Like the budding time in plant life, this year shouldshow good promises and opportunities for future

growth, promises of financial accumulation for the nextthree years to the close of the cycle. This is not anaccumulative year, but allows you to clear all

indebtedness to leave you free for the next three years of

the cycle. Plan wisely; refinance for greater businessexpansion; make important decisions and settle up

indebtedness, pay-out is the keynote of the year. This

means consolidation of your affairs for future growth.

Invest with due caution. The next two years shouldrepay you for the care and conservativeness of the third

and fourth cycle years. This is not the year in which to

liquidate your assets or to sell important holdings, but toaccumulate more real estate and good investments for a

successful and accumulative liquidation two years hence

in the months of July and August.

7th cycle This represents the opening of the bud in plant life. In

business, it means the beginning of your accumulative

period for the next three years at least. The first half ofthe year could seem slow, but do not be fooled, for after

July matters could turn over very quickly and wonderful

opportunities present themselves. The efforts of the past

six years should begin to repay you the latter half of theyear, although the month of June could represent the

darkness before the dawn. Do not make any changes inJune, but sit tight. Get out into nature more this year

and take those trips you have promised yourself and

your family. Relax your thinking and your body, for

any undue tension this year could affect the heart, lungs,or bronchial organs. Do not expect it; avoid it. Like


12/21


plant life, the flowers of accomplishment should begin

to show on your business plant and you should be ableto relax more from extreme activity, particularly the

second half of the year.

8th cycle This is the year of accumulation, the best and most

accumulative of the nine-year cycle-if you are prepared.It is a good year to liquidate assets, to sell property at

the best price, or for a quick buy and sell. It is your yearto make money and buy and sell at your own price, but

you should have a cycle chart to advise you on the best

months and days in which to act. This is what iserroneously called your lucky year; however, nothing is

gained without effort, so you merely reap what you have

sown. This is your fruition in business accumulation

and in finances.

9th cycle This is the closing year or winter time of your cycle, onein which to reflect over the past years and planaccordingly for the next year's sowing for the coming

cycle. This is not the year to start anything new, as

things are merely working under the surface preparatory

to next year's activity. Its financial conditions should bethe carry-over of last year's accumulation and

liquidation. Take it easy this year and learn to serve

your fellow man. This is the year in which to give, towork in service to your fellow man. Do not start any

new enterprises or invest to any extent. If possible,

travel and see the world and do not worry. Think andplan for the future, starting next year. Spend more time

with your family, if married. If not, look around this

year, for it is particularly vital in close associationsrelative to the emotions. You will feel that you need

more love and understanding this year. July is a very

emotional month which could bring a test in this respect,

or someone could come into your personal life.

If you study the first chart dealing with the principle of growth andthe unfoldment of nature, you will readily see how all things in life aresubject to this law and quality of growth. It is a demonstration of

quantity (time) and quality (the nature of). The same law applies tothe ages in respect to the evolution of life, of species, and the physical

and mental evolution of man. This knowledge gives you themathematical key to life and thus removes the gamble and uncertainty

in human effort in all phases of life. We know that life as it is

presently understood is nothing but a gamble, for out of the millions ofmen who go into business, only a very meager number succeed-and


13/21


then only with an intense application through which they develop their

ulcers, or become drug or tranquilizer addicts.

Man, Without Mental and Spiritual Wisdom

Anyone respecting Divine Intelligence and knowing that man is

the steward of this earth, being endowed with thinking and creativeability and having dominion over all things here, must believe that

there are certain natural laws of being and a key to them. How else

could man assume supremacy over all?

Man has developed his ego instead of wisdom. This is why he is

lost in the finite plane of materiality for which he is paying the toll of

mental confusion, sickness and disease, enmity, and degeneration, withultimate destruction-the same as in the past. Man has had many

chances in bygone ages but he never seems to learn his lesson. I

suppose there will be a time when he has earned the right to the divine

privileges he so foolishly believes are his due rewards in this age.Man is destroying everything that is refined and good, and his time is

spent in chasing money and attempting to overpopulate the earth,regardless of the scriptural quotation: " . . . and better it is to die

without children, than to have them that are ungodly," (Ecclesiasticus

16:3), meaning without mental and spiritual wisdom.

All Life Must Follow A Pattern

Man has been given the key to constructive progress if he willsearch for it. We are told, "The kingdom of God is within," (St. Luke

17:21), which means that wisdom, which is the reason of being, is

contained within being itself. All life must follow a pattern, for life isthe pattern. Man is the eyes that should perceive it and follow the plan

constructively. Man has ever sought to understand the source of his

being, but his efforts have been nullified by diverse theories. He hasset up false gods, such as the search for financial accumulation, to the

sacrifice of all that is fine. This is why his system of financial

illusions is killing him and why nations are existing upon tranquilizers

and drugs. Man's mind has become lost and no longer understandsitself and its instrument, the human body. Man has become so

involved in the ramifications of his own living that he is completely

lost as far as spiritual objective is concerned. The world is in a state of

severe degeneration and man is too blind and confused to see it. Ourcivilization is rotting at the core; termites are busy in the foundation,

despite the new paint job we continue to apply to the superstructure. Itis not necessary, to mention all the major problems we have with us, in

order to prove the truth of this statement. The disaster lies in the fact

that man assumes these personal and national tragedies withoutquestion or attempt to find the cause and cure.


14/21


Man Has Lost the Art of Living

Man must live, so he must become somewhat involved in businessmethods; his greatest trouble is that he has lost the art of living, if he

ever had it, because he does not understand the necessity of that most

vital power, balance. Man goes off the deep end in everything that hedoes. In the early periods of time, man had to learn to defend himself.

Nowadays, he has made defence a major and national industry, for

profit. There are times when some of the most intellectual people

wonder about the reason for our present degeneration. They donothing about it because they try to solve human problems only

through the mechanics of life and not through wisdom, or the

knowledge of human mind.

Sum Total of Human Thinking

If you are the practical type of person, you will question the

foregoing in respect to man's status in this old world of ours with itshuman transgressions and degeneration. However, being a practicalnature, you will appreciate that there is a very vital principle involved

that, if understood, would allow you to realize the spiritual connection

between the state of affairs, the time, and the reason of man's

degeneration as related to the cyclic law of time. You may take theattitude that it does not concern you, or ask, "What can you do about

it?" You must admit you are a personal part of it and therefore vitally

interested in, "Where do we go from here?" Everything must have astart and finish, and the completion is naturally the sum total of human

thinking from the start of the age.

Sowing and Reaping

Herein, lies the practicality of this theory. Everyone is interested

in his future and that of his nation, and on every hand we hear people

asking: "Do you think there will be an atomic war, and when?" Thisinformation is of vital interest and concern to all people for it could

well concern their very existence. To a businessman, it involves his

life's efforts and investments and would allow him to plan forwhatever future there may be, or perhaps might stir him to use his

financial power to forestall such destruction as would follow atomic

warfare. In the past, when warfare was a major industry, yet without

so great a sting as today, the conditions called business were alwaysaffected and stimulated by the thoughts and possibility of war, as in

rising markets and prices. It was a well-known fact that if one could

accurately foretell the starting of war, one could use the knowledgeprofitably, which some did, not because they had a hunch, but because

they were advised and their advisors knew of the practicality of the

law of cycles. They knew by the time of sowing that they coulddeduce the time of reaping which, in this case, was war, demonstrated


15/21


through human affairs. This principle should be known and practised

by governments and in national affairs, for seeds of any endeavour canbe planted only at a specific time in the cycle if success is to be

assured.

Time and Life are Synonymous

Every day, month, and year, man's mind is supposed to grow and

unfold new ideas and new activities; every human being should have a

specific purpose and goal, the activities of which evolve according tothe gradations of his cycle, just as does the plant. Time and life are

synonymous. All life manifests within time, it being the gradations orsteps and the measuring stick of the growth of human mind which is

supposed to fill the ages with a specific intelligence relative to that

age. For instance, we live in what is termed the Christian age, inwhich man should become cognizant of the source of his being known

as the Christ Consciousness; yet in lesser periods during the great ages

man must make material progress so that the negative and positivephases of life are balanced and man learns to walk the middle path.

Man must live, but he must have an objective for living, or

otherwise he becomes submerged in living without actual mental and

spiritual progress; in which case, degeneration becomes the path.

Why? Because man knows not the nature or season of his existence:he is unable to coincide his efforts with the pattern of life. Today, man

has set finance, greed, nationalism, and selfishness as the pattern of the

age, and wonders why he is beset with epidemics and major diseases,and why each year brings greater confusion in the seasons and the

weather to disrupt man's activities and progress. On every hand, wehear this remark, "The weather and climates are changing and

becoming very unpredictable."

What greater power is there in the universe than human mind,

which has been given dominion over all things? Without wisdom,which is the study and knowledge of mind and nature, man is bound to

become confused and destructive and an interference to the

harmonious rhythms of nature. What else could have such a vastinfluence? It is man's duty to understand the pattern of life and to

understand his own mind with its limitless potential, because his mind

is his life. "As he thinketh in his heart so is he:" (Proverbs 23:7)-in

health, degree of happiness, and success. Every man should havesome philosophical knowledge of life and the laws that comprise the

limits of his being. If nature works through definite seasons and laws,

man should understand those laws with which he should coincide hisefforts and thus take advantage of them for the benefit of himself and

his family.

From the Cradle to the Grave

The following demonstrates how the knowledge of cyclicconditions may be used in all ages of life. Let us follow it from the

cradle to the grave.

Everyone is born upon a specific calendar date; his time of birthand the cyclic year of the universal cycle determine his individual

cycle and the position that he is born into in his cycle. One's cycle does

not start at number one of one's birth year; one is born into the cycleand has to complete it before starting a complete new cycle.

Let us apply this to a young baby. The birthdate of the baby shows

us what time of his cycle he is in and how the conditions could affectthe baby. One knows whether or not the following months are going

to be sensitive ones and what part of his anatomy could be affected,

such as with head colds, weak stomach, constipation, lung or bronchialtrouble, or mastoid, etc. One knows the specific nature of each month

and can act accordingly, especially in regard to feeding, clothing,

handling, and proper sleep.

Parents may be concerned with their children's time of play duringchildhood; whether or not adverse conditions could cause minor

accidents or interferences; when to exercise special care and

understanding; whether or not conditions could cause constipation,irritability, or fevers, (this depending upon the care and feeding of the

child); when to guard against tragedies such as we read of in the

newspapers, of kidnapping and molestations. All conditions show in

one's cycle chart.

In teenage, a knowledge of cyclic conditions can bring much

confidence, and remove mental and physical tension. You can gain anunderstanding of the time to start endeavours for a successful

conclusion; what days are best for accomplishment; when you can

look forward to examinations knowing the cycle conditions involved;

knowing that the date and cyclic conditions at the time of meetingsomeone denotes the constructiveness or destructiveness of such a

friendship; when to be very careful in association and how to act

accordingly; the best time for a vacation; whether or not anyundertaking will be successful; the best days for shopping; and when

to be careful of losses.

I once noted a very tragic combination of conditions that would

manifest in a boy's cycle in the near future and wrote the date down so

that his mother would remember. I wrote that, upon a certain date, the

boy should be kept home and away from all hazardous conditions;otherwise, there would be a tragedy. The day was a Saturday and, on

the Friday, the boy asked to be allowed to take a group of younger

boys for a hike and picnic the next day. His mother said, "No," and


17/21


read his chart to him. The next morning, bright and early, the group

arrived and said they could not go without the older boy. His motherput sentiment before logic and let him go, with a caution. That was the

last she saw him alive-he fell into a canyon and was killed. The

mother knew it was a tragic or adverse period-the chart said so;

nevertheless, she broke the law and paid for her ignorance. Howmany times do such calamities occur: the disappearance of children

and other major tragedies? Yes, they can be avoided, but not through

blind faith.

This knowledge helps in the choice of a marriage partner and

reveals the propitious time for marriage for a harmonious relationship.The time of marrying is largely contributory to the happiness and

success of a marriage, thus determining the outcome. It also suggests

the proper period for having children so as to facilitate the birth.

Childbirth at certain periods of the cycle can cause disastrous results;past experiences testify to this statement. A woman may have two or

three successful deliveries and the fourth may prove disastrous to herhealth, or interfere with the completeness of the child.

In maturity, if, as we are told: "To every thing there is a season,and a time to every purpose under the heaven," then the affairs of man

could not be exempt from this law. To demonstrate the use of cyclesin business affairs, I will relate an incident: I was approached by a

man who felt it particularly vital to dispose of some very valuable

property within a limited time. He had been given a very good offerand wanted to know whether to accept it. My answer was: "Do not

sell until next month, at which time you will receive a better

proposition." He took my advice, but so anxious was he to sell that hequestioned me afterwards as to the logicality of the move and

expressed his fear of not having another chance for a sale within the

next month. I hastened to reassure him and gave him the actual dateof the expected contact for sale. He sold on the date advised at a

better price and a cleaner deal. Thus, "To every thing there is a

season, and a time..." Perhaps, you have been given delivery dates of

certain goods that have been promised your customers. Without aknowledge of cyclic conditions, you could not guarantee time of

delivery. How many times have you been held up by goods lost in

transit-weeks lost whilst the freight car is being located?

So, you want to start into business. You have the capital and thetechnical assistance. But, are the conditions auspicious? Yes, the time

you start your business creates the cyclic conditions under which youoperate. So many people start into business with money and

confidence, but how small are the number of successes. Why? You

answer the question logically. How about that vacation? Can you besure of not losing any business opportunities in your absence? Or are

you sure that you will not encounter driving difficulties through


18/21


adverse conditions? How about the driver who arrived at the scene of

the accident in time to be a party to it, with tragic results? An earlieror later vacation would have avoided the accident. There is the right

month for a vacation, both from a business and pleasure viewpoint.

Perhaps, you desire to broaden out in your business activities, to make

a change, a merger, or a sale. Is the time propitious?How many times have you wished you had not invested, or bought

something that did not come up to expectations? How could you tell?Naturally, by the cyclic time the proposition was offered to you. How

about that court case that could cost you money if conditions are not

right on that date? What would be the right date to have the casereviewed? Would cyclic conditions warrant an appeal? How would

you choose your personnel so as to get the best results from them?

When should you not have that operation that might well prove

disastrous? Are you and your partner in relative, good cyclicconditions for success?

Know Result Beforehand

Even to know of the future condition of crops-the type of season

and weather expected-would come as a boon and a blessing to many

business men. To know things of a vital nature makes life more vital

and complete, for it creates greater self-confidence and foresightednessand practically guarantees greater peace of mind, which comes from

self-confidence. Is not business a system with vast ramifications? A

man may learn all the ethics system of business, but without theknowledge of the cyclic conditions as affecting time and man's efforts,

even the most astute businessman is confounded; to wit: the disastrousmarket crash of 1929, which completely ruined many millionaires.

Money has power only under certain conditions: not in major market

crashes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and numerous other so-callednatural conditions. How many fortunes could have been made and

saved had men known of the cyclic conditions and the time element

with which to plan their affairs and activities?

We read of summit meetings and conferences between leaders ofmajor countries, and they are used to affect investment markets; only

before the completion of such meetings, the result is not known to the

public. It is quite possible to those understanding the cyclic

influences to know the result beforehand. One knows, by the timethey are started, the nature of the action and the intent, even before the

completion; but the completion and result can be diagnosed. Whether

or not human actions will be successful depends upon the time ofseeding of such action.

We even wonder why a man in his prime of life and apparentlyhealthy would suddenly drop dead, leaving his business affairs in


19/21


confusion. We are told the cause is cerebral thrombosis, but this is not

the cause, only the effect of the state of mind upon the body. Had heknown himself, he would have known about the result of his thinking

upon his health and the time the harvest could be expected-unless he

changed his thinking and outlook upon life. Is this not a practical,

logical, scientific, and basic conclusion of life-with its individual stepsto mental and spiritual attainment? Without such knowledge the

human race is bound to degenerate into mental confusion and chaos.

We cannot attribute such conditions to a deity or a devil, but must lookfor a more logical and natural interpretation for human degeneration.

The churches place the onus upon their God's shoulders in the biblical

quotation that "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit," (St. Matthew7:18), thus implying predestination.

Involution and Evolution

There are many theories, all human concepts, of course, as there is

no actual and provable evidence of any divine dispensation of wisdomto any human being or church; and it is claimed the Scripture is

divinely ordained. Why has it been translated and mistranslated

through the centuries? Man has never been given the proper

perspective of involution and evolution.

The word involution means to become involved. The spiritbecoming clothed in, or involved in, the flesh; or God the Principle or

reason of being becoming a living, breathing entity through physical

birth in the form of man: is the spiritual translation of involution. Noone knows exactly what God is, because we read: "No man hath seen

God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of theFather, he hath declared him," (St. John 1:18), and also it is written:

"And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of

me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape."(St. John 5:37)

However, we do know that there must be the reason of being, or

there would not be a physical reality. The reason is termed the

nucleus, the Absolute, God, Jehovah, etc. Taking it from a Christianconcept, it could be explained as follows. Involution is a process of

God, or the reason of being, becoming involved in reality or physical

life, the lowest form of life being the water molecule. From the lowest

form starts the principle of evolution, or the progression of the spiritup and beyond materiality, rising higher in the scale of evolution, up

and beyond species-then, through the channel called human mind, into

the more abstract planes of concept, perspective, and consciousknowledge. The greatest manifestation of God the Principle or

nucleus is that of mind.

Divergence Between Reason and Reality

Reason must always be contained in being because it is the causeof being. And, reason is conceived only through mental phenomena.

Thus the divine channel of intelligence and consciousness is expressed

only through human mind.

Mind is the greatest mystery of this life; we know it is the channel of

intelligence-our only means of thinking-and yet, it does not generallymanifest the spiritual quality of its own origin; thus we have good and

evil. The reason of this duality has never been properly translated; aproper understanding would dispel the foolishness of the devil

concept and would logically express the reason of the divergence

between reason and reality, or God and man. If God is the essence ofbalance, goodness, wisdom, and love, why then has his involutionary

process created confusion, discord, and so-called evil? This is the

question of the age.

If reason is contained in being, why does it not expressthrough the human channel called mind?

Clothed in Flesh

We know that what is termed God, actually and logically expressesthe reason of being and the Consciousness of life, or Supreme

Intelligence. This power is translated as spirit or abstract, i.e., being

above and beyond all human sense, emotions, and mind. It is thehighest conceivable power. This Universal Consciousness, so

generally referred to as the Christ Consciousness, is the reason of

being; thus life is the involutionary manifestation of Consciousness,or God become clothed in flesh. Thus are joined the highest and thelowest forms of life: the positive and negative principle, or the two

direct opposite forces of life.

When God, the positive Principle, becomes involved in the finite,

or physical plane of existence, the highest becomes involved in thelowest and subject to his own natural laws of material existence. Thus

is spirit born into flesh. We now see that Consciousness has become

involved in matter and manifests under the finite law of growth. Thespirit is seeded into the flesh every time a newborn baby draws his first

breath of life. This power of Divine Consciousness, often termed

wisdom, now has its physical instrument through which it desires tomanifest but cannot do so until the maturity of the body, the emotions,

and the mind; and then only if the mind desires to reach out and searchinto the reason or origin of its own being, for mind is the only

physical channel of intelligencestarting at its lowest level of

emotional desires with an unlimited growth potential to a finalmergence or conjunction

with its source of Consciousness. This state is often symbolized as an

at-Oneness with God.

Spiritual Destiny

When man has learned to merge his human mind with its divine

source of Consciousness (wisdom), he has fulfilled his spiritualdestiny; the spirit has become involved in, or seeded into, flesh, thuschanging its state of universality to that of human individuality. This

starts the cycle of involution at the lowest point of human existence;

and then evolution, growth, and unfoldment take place until human, ormortal, mind progresses from a material and limited concept to a

universal, or Godlike, state of mind. Thus does Universal

Consciousness become clothed in mortality and then, through mental

growth and concept, evolve back again to its original state of SpiritualConsciousness; these states represent the imprisonment of the spirit

within man, who actually represents the cross, and its emergence

through spiritualized concept of man; thus has Christ Consciousnessbeen freed from the cross of mortality and individuality.

Individualityis the direct opposite to that of Consciousness;

thus mortal life is only a reflection of God, or the opposite and

lowest manifestationjust like ones reflection in the mirror is not

the original because it is backwards and directly opposite, and

cannot be touched, nor has it any feeling. It might better be termed

an illusionor only an imitation of the real thing. Our mind is in the

same category in relationship to Divine Consciousness; thus, we

have good and evilthe highest and lowest states of mental

existence. Birth brings the submergence of spirit or Consciousnessinto flesh and all physical limitations. For mind to grow requires

seeds of wisdom, system, and order; mental balance and

understanding must be planted into every childs mind through

theorythrough reason and logic.
