SUMMARY AND REVIEW
This summary gives you a comprehension of the primary points of the chapter in the
text. Fill in the brackets with words or phrases that complete the ideas.
1. It is impossible for two things to join in [ ] or discord without the presence of a [ ],
for a 'BOND' must exist to [ ] them, and this [ ] is OBJECTIVELY OBSERVED in
its relation to [ ]. -- Summum
2. It is the influence of the rule of [ ] on the objective observer which causes [ ] to
ascribe to Creation human [ ], feelings and characteristics. This depiction of
Creation is the natural [ ] held within every cell of your body [ ] from the evolution
of the race.
3. The objective observer, bound by the rule of [ ] in the examination of the existent
universe, discovers both an organized universe and a universe in chaos, rational
and irrational numbers, beauty and ugliness, [ ] and hate, pleasure and pain, [ ]
and discord, sanity and [ ], truth and falsity.
4. This harmony is viewed within [ ] and the universe as THE DIVINE [ ]. Although
the proportions seem to be [ ] in NATURE, they are not. The only reason they
seem fixed is because they are [ ] within the observer's mind.
5. Time and lengths, [ ] and mass are all altered in proportion when the body
concerned is in motion relative to the observer. In other words, moving bodies
appear to be [ ] in terms of their shape, size and speed, depending on your
viewpoint. Apparent increase of [ ] in swiftly moving particles has been observed.
6. The Divine Proportion, is also known as the [ ] [ ], Phi, the [ ] Ratio, the [ ] Series,
etc.
7. The Divine Proportion can be found throughout this universe; from the [ ] of
galaxies to the swirls of [ ]; from the harmony of [ ] to the very physical nature of
Creation.

8. The states of [ ], insanity, and chaos in the universe are observations of states
seemingly opposed to the accepted Divine [ ].
9. The masters are not bound by these [ ] which restrict the normal human being.
For they have set themselves [ ] from the lower law of a single viewpoint and
observe existence from a [ ] viewpoint within the same moment. The masters
freely observe SUMMUM [ ] by the constraints of the fixed mind.

any point between the two ends.
a. Write a description of the relationship in numbers to the lengths of the
