What Are Principles???

So when I say Principle it's not like I'm saying Morals, or Values.

Though, those can be Principles, too.

Principles are not absolutes, though they tend to apply predictably within certain parameters of life and creation.

Principles can be likened to the Rules of a Game. My mentor taught me that a business has to be a Game Worth Playing to survive and thrive.

Principles are at the foundation of systems like math and geometry. They are the rebar that strengthens ideas into concrete establishments - government, finance and war... They are the magnetic maypoles of sublime scientific revelation... They are the underpinnings of astrology and depth psychology, anthropological forensic anatomy....

Principles make use of group-mind from atoms to collective consciousness in human endeavors.

Principles are the things you can rely on when you are unsure of all else.

Principles are time tested, mother approved, logically deduced, observationally informed, experientially interacted with ways of knowing that only self-reflective consciousness can apprehend.

Principles are knowable, utilizable, non-explicit patterns that can only be seen by searching through the chaotic patterns of life until the organizing principles become apparent and everything seems to fall into place.

That's what it's like learning to understand Principles.

That's why I talk about Principles with all my mentees.

The fastest and best way to learn something is marrying experience with the guidance of a mentor who has a clear map to share and knowledge of the terrain being traversed.

Principles are that map.
Purpose is the compass.
Participants are the mentors and peer-group that inform the journey.
