Law of Polar Opposites

Law of Polar Opposites

Below is the only reference to the Law of Polar Opposites in the writings of Alice A. Bailey (AAB) and Djwhal Khul (DK). Links on these pages of the Laws of Alice A. Bailey are to the online books at the Lucis Trust website.

For a discussion of what AAB means by a “law” please see  Alice A. Bailey – What is a Law?


 These involve the impact upon our planet of Forces and Energies which will be instrumental in altering the existing civilisation and culture, in climaxing karmic necessity and in thus engineering release, presenting humanity with that stage in the experience of the disciple which we call “the meeting of the Dweller on the Threshold with the Angel of the Presence,” and inducing as a consequence a certain planetary initiation.

These four stages of the Law of Cause and Effect (as it affects humanity at this time) might be called:

1. The perfecting of form expression……….. Law of Evolution

2. The precipitation of karma…………………… Law of Cause and Effect

3. The achievement of personality…………… Law of Polar Opposites (The Dweller on the Threshold)

4. The attainment of planetary initiation………… Law of Initiation.

You may perhaps think at this point that I am being academic and that the world stress at this time is such that love, sympathy and kind words are needed far more than learned, historical retrospection and suggested hypotheses. I seek, however, to foster in you the spirit of understanding. Such true comprehension necessitates head knowledge as well as heart reaction. The disciples of the world today must endeavour to see why and to what end the present terrible happenings have occurred.
