73 RealityBites #14 The 7 Hermetic Principles of Reality Series #5 “The Principle of Rhythm‪”‬ Reality Hub

Welcome to the fifth episode of a 7 part RealityBites Series featuring and exploring the 7 Hermetic Principles as told in The Kybalion -  In The Kybalion, a book first published in 1908 by the “Three Initiates” the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus are conveyed in the study of hermetic philosophy.
In Hermetic thought, the movements of the planets are believed to have meaning beyond the laws of physics and actually hold metaphorical value as symbols in the mind of the All, or God, which have influence upon the Earth, but do not dictate our actions; wisdom is gained when we know what these influences are and how ...
My hope and intention with these series of podcasts is that you can become aware and familiar of how these principles show up in your own reality - and how you can best utilise, take advantage or co-create your experience in accordance with these universal laws. 
The idea is to start noticing how these principles or laws if you like govern the universe, and therefore influence our reality - 
To recap we have introduced the Hermetic wisdom in our first episode in the series- and we’ve explored the principle of mentalism, correspondence, vibration and polarity. I encourage you to check out the previous episodes to know more about these principles.
Which leads us to the 5th principle-
5. The Principle of Rhythm:
Everything flows, out and in; Everything has its tides; All things rise and fall; The pendulum swing manifests in everything; The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; Rhythm compensates.
The fifth principle states that between the opposing poles, there exists an inherent rhythm. The tides move in and out. We inhale and exhale. Everything is in motion. Nature has its seasons and so, too, do we.
This principle embodies the truth that everything exists in a measured motion, from here to there, moving in and out, swinging backward and forward, the rise and fall of the tides, ebbing and flowing and never truly sitting still. Never stopping, always changing.
This is also relevant in the ability to come back to balance or homeostasis, to come back to a neutral point. “The mental law of neutralisation”
This encompasses the dualistic nature of everything.
As with all the principles, we can learn to utilise them to interpret and create our reality - the principle of rhythm can have an over arching theme esp in this time and stage of humanity ad we see more and more people awakening and aligning to their greater selves.
One could look at the cycles of evolution that we as humanity are and have been going through - the bigger picture - 
It isn’t hard to recognise that even though we live on a planet that surrounds us with beauty, that there is a lot of darkness happening within humanity. The ancient Sanskrit teachings understood that civilization goes through distinct cycles of creation and destruction. Native traditions have similar stories to describe different ages of humanity as well. It can be easy to lose hope sometimes, but there many possibilities for spiritual growth and awakening during this time. Let’s look at the bigger picture knowing that the warm glow of dawn always follows the coldest, darkest moments of the night.
What is a Yuga?
The ancients understood time as a circle, not linear, and the circle of ages are known as the yugas. Like the four seasons in our year, there are four yugas in the full cycle (Mahayuga). Each cycle has distinct themes and spiritual lessons for humanity.
Below are the four yugas in order from beginning to end. It is important to note that the first yuga is the longest with each one getting successively shorter (4:3:2:1) until the cycle starts again.
The ancient Greeks called these four ages of human civilization the Age of Gold, Silver, Bronze, and the Age of Iron. The Phoenix always rises from the ashes of its predecessor. 
If we are actually living in the Kali Yuga now, then any and all behaviour that
