The Fourth Value

The Fourth Value of The Everything: Strength of Mind – A Sacred Law Perspective

The following is an excerpt from Sacred Law School materials. For more information, see www.sacredlaws.com

The fourth value is ‘strength of mind’ and it is the most determinant value. The Great Spirit expresses it’s strength of mind through the Fourth Universal Law, the 0-9 Law, or constant interaction with the Everything. The 0-9 Law teaches us that all energy follows a pattern of movement from 0 to 9: all energy starts at 0, moves outward 9 times and then folds back in on itself. Between 0 and 9 are ten steps; each of these ten steps carries a particular energy that describes an aspect of energy movement: 1-Focus; 2-Substance; 3-Form; 4-Determination; 5-Understanding; 6-Imagination; Freedom; 8-Pattern; 9-Chaos; 10-Completion. In following the movement of the Everything to completion, we align our minds with Great Spirit’s strength. It is necessary to know which aspect of the movement of energy we are engaged with in order to apply our strength of mind, intent and intending with correct action. The 0-9 Law movement and the values inherent at each step create the pattern of the Universe. Understanding of the movements leads to the wisdom of the mind, the knowing when completion is achieved and the ability to catch the timing to begin the new focus (start again at 1). This teaching reminds us that there is value to everything including the process and that the attention we place on people, experiences, places and things must be deserved.
Strength of mind through the 0-9 Law teaches us how we as humans can align our will with Great Spirit’s will. Strength of mind leads to clarity and sobriety. Clarity, in this sense, means that the mind is not limited to puny and purely tonal attractions but that we are also able to put what is happening around us (mental coordination) into the perspective of the greater picture. We gain the ability to focus on the highest attractions, the highest possibilities once our minds are free to move at the speed of fast thought and not slowed down by the sludge of pretense and predetermined thought forms (inherited or cathected belief systems). Sobriety is gained through the determination to free the mind from pretense and projection allowing us to free think, gain the ability to solve problems with reason, have an open and unlimited imagination that stretches to see the potential in the future and the flexibility necessary to challenge the mind and to never stop learning.
The connection and degree of communication between the conscious and unconscious minds and the collective consciousness and the collective unconsciousness is an indicator of the strength of mind one possesses. In the years of the razor’s edge, we are all being challenged on every level on a daily basis. It is imperative that we learn to open our conscious minds to the downloads from the unconscious, collective consciousness and the collective unconsciousness and become wise and kind teachers to ourselves. One of our greatest challenges we face right now, is understanding what is happening in our everyday world, determining who we can turn to for ‘expert’ advice and how to discern what is real within the environmental, social and political arenas. We cannot afford to rely on outdated ideas, concepts or belief systems we inherited from our parents, peer groups and teachers – no matter who they are! This is a painfully edgy situation for many of us as we sift through years of action/reaction behavior searching for our own truths. We must remember that searching for strength of mind and our own truths is a part of our hero’s journey and a worthy endeavor. Keep in mind one of the basic tenets of this path: believe nothing! Gather information from all sides of every issue and take it into contemplation and ceremony. Filter and synthesize until you have built your own four-sided pyramid temple based on your four bottom line principle truths that form the foundation for your strength of mind.
If you look at the 0-9 Law in sigil form, it takes the shape of a triangle. The triangular structure underscores the non-linear nature of this law and the non-linear nature of your strength of mind. In a triangle, as in a circle, there is no beginning and no end. However, a triangle, unlike a circle, illustrates the inter-reliability of three structural components that make up the whole. If one of the sides is removed, the entire triangle collapses.



Your ‘baseline’ truth

Now imagine that the base of the triangle is one of your four principle truths that contains the entire movement of 0-9 within it. Test your truth by determining what the 0-9 steps are within this truth. Your truth will teach you what your focus should be, what the substance of the truth is, etc.
Once you have your four truths, marry them together to form your pyramid temple of your strength of mind. This pyramid of self-truth will allow you to navigate the razor’s edge with more grace. Inside the pyramid you will discover there is a secret fifth truth, which in sacred geometric sigil form, creates a tetrahedron inside your pyramid temple. The tetrahedron contains the secrets of the spirals of life. Work with it until you can See.
