To the individual, things like national and global affairs seem entirely out of the realm of influence and well beyond what can be personally changed, yet choices made on that scale have a profound impact on every individual. This book, establishing a law of triads and a series of seven positive and three negative states of being, relates how the same principles that govern a person’s success and well-being can also be applied to entire nations. By examining a person’s or a state’s intentions, resources, knowledge, conscience, activity, and power, one can determine the focus and ideal growth of any human or group. The conscience lies between intentions and knowledge. The power is made up of the knowledge and resources one has, and intentions and resources drive activity.
With this triad established, the author presents how a person or a government progresses through the acquisitions and building of these elements, ascending to a more enlightened and self-realized status until something comes along to upset the balance and move the scale backward or into the negatives. Using real world examples and mathematical formulas to present the case, readers can take a high concept twist on the hierarchy of needs and use it to analyze their own position or predict political tensions and conflict based on the places involved. Extrapolating this same concept and applying it to astrology, the Bible, and even chemistry, a rather strong case is made for these fundamental truths to be present in every part of the natural world and existence, giving the reader plenty to consider.
While the initial exposure to the main theories behind this thesis may seem confusing, the author does a very good job of giving the reader multiple ways to decode things. In addition to the simple text explanation, the book is filled with graphs, mathematical formulas, and illustrations that work together to make sure that there is no confusion about the concept being presented. This is reinforced by the second half of the book, where after describing how these laws and aspects affect people as individuals, relationships between people, and entire countries, the same thought processes are filtered through lenses the reader may already be more familiar with, be that the Book of Genesis, the signs of the zodiac, or numerology.
All of this can be a curiosity and thought exercise on its own, but the applications of how a person’s own status and goals can be augmented by following these evolutionary steps also make this text quite actionable. The external examples then function as a proof that increasing the values of one’s own position in the triad will yield improvements in whatever a person’s goals may be whether financial, vocational, or social. The reader can choose to read these revelations as some kind of foundational cosmic law or simply a more humanist truth that our societies reward these traits throughout history and lead to our admiration and deference toward people who exemplify them. Either way, this book gives the reader large, universal scale ideas while very much keeping them rooted in ideas that they can use, exceeding mere theory and creating a roadmap for people to follow and seek out in their own lives.
