"Everything has an ebb and flow; everything rises and falls; everything manifests itself by pendulum oscillations; the measure of the movement to the right is the same as the movement to the left; rhythm is the compensation."
— "The Kybalion" (Chapter on the Law of Rhythm).
"Nothing escapes this Law. Everything participates in it. The rhythm is ever present. Worlds are born and die; nations rise and fall; all things advance and retreat, rise and fall. Even the human heart follows this law in its cycles of faith and doubt, courage and fear."
Comparison with bear market ("bleeding"):
The Law of Rhythm, according to The Kybalion, explains that all phenomena—physical, emotional, or social—operate in cycles of rise and fall, like a pendulum. In the context of the financial market, which is in a sharp decline according to the news, this hermetic law reminds us that:
1. Every fall precedes a recovery: Just as the pendulum reaches an extreme and returns, markets in crisis tend, over time, to find a point of equilibrium and resume their rise (even if it takes months or years).
2. Cycles are inevitable: Excessive euphoria (high) and extreme pessimism (low) are natural movements. Those who understand the rhythm avoid impulsive decisions, such as selling assets in panic.
3. The offset of the pace: The intensity of the fall can indicate the strength of the future recovery, just as a pendulum that swings higher in one direction will also swing higher in the other.
While the news is highlighting the market's "bleeding," the Law of Rhythm suggests that nothing is permanent. Those who master this law, according to the Hermetic teachings, seek emotional neutrality—they are not carried away by the fear of a fall or the greed of a rise. Instead, they observe the cycles, adjust strategies, and understand that, just as winter precedes spring, bear markets carry the seeds of the next rise.
Question to explore further: Are you using this phase to analyze opportunities (buy undervalued assets) or are you simply reacting to collective fear? The Kybalion would say: "The wise man uses the laws, not is used by them." 🌗📉📈
