The Seven Creative Principles: A Series of Seven Lectures Delivered Before the Society for Esoteric Culture of Boston

Hiram E. Butler

4.9/5 (32626 ratings)

Description:James Allen (author of As a Man Thinketh ) reviewed this book, saying:Mr. Butler is pre-eminently a mystic, but his mysticism is sane and wholesome, for he is nothing if not practical. In this work of nine chapters, or "Lectures," he deals first with "The Idea of God" as contained in, or expressed by, the various names throughout the world which signify God: this constitutes the first chapter. The seven succeeding chapters are devoted to the expounding of the "Seven Creative Principles" which are the basis and cause of visible nature, and the last chapter explains "The Esoteric Significance of Colors." The Seven Principles laid down are:—1. Force; 2. Discrimination; 3. Order; 4. Cohesion; 5. Fermentation; 6. Transmutation; and 7. Sensation. The combined working of these Principles in physical, or what are called "created" things, is clearly and elaborately described; but the principal object of the book (and herein lies its great value) is to show the reader the necessity of guiding, controlling, and utilizing these Principles within himself, and so attain to a pure and perfect manhood or womanhood, to wisdom and the mastery of self. According to the author, all men in their natural state are subject to these Seven Principles, and that the way to wisdom, power, and conscious immortality is to cease to be their passive subject or slave, and to become their master. This being done, the Seven Principles, in their order already named, are converted, in the consciousness and life of their master, to the following seven spiritual realities:—1. Power; 2. Riches; 3. Wisdom; 4. Strength; 5. Honor; 6. Glory; and 7. Blessing. Thus the work takes the form of a textbook on self-mastery, but one which is so original in the presentation of its subject, so comprehensive and profound in its range of ideas, and so systematic and scientific in its manner of classification as to render it unique. In the chapter on "Discrimination" (the best in the book) the author says,—"We have reasons now to believe that there are a great many people who have become so unfolded in their interior or higher nature that they are ready and anxious to let go of this lower nature—this lower condition of life—and step upon a higher plane of being." This well expresses the tone of the book; it is a work for the thoughtful and intelligent student of all that is highest, purest, and best in life, and to such it will prove almost invaluable. Prefixed to each chapter is a colored plate illustrative of the "Creative Principles." The book also contains a full-page portrait of the author. It is well printed in bold type on good paper, and is a book which every deep student of the higher life should possess.Chapters Include: First Lecture: The Idea of God Second Lecture: Force The First of the Seven Creative Principles Third Lecture: Discrimination The Second of the Seven Creative Principles Fourth Lecture: Order The Third of the Creative Principles Fifth Lecture: Cohesion The Fourth of the Seven Creative Principles Sixth Lecture: Fermentation The Fifth of the Seven Creative Principles Eighth Lecture: Sensation The Seventh of the Creative Principles Ninth Lecture: ColorsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
