WHENCE&WHITHER
School of Thought
From Whence we came, Whither are we bound. On the basis of this ideology a School of Thought was born. We teach in 2 concepts. Firstly, Whence, nothing reigns supreme over the study of Heritage, without its understanding there is no way forward. Secondly, Whither, strategically dreaming for the future and the belief that Growth is the only constant. You are either growing into something or away from it. Keep in mind the type of future you hope for and align your actions with that vision daily. These are the foundational steps towards manifesting the life you wish for. One must tend to their mental garden spot daily with nourishment in order reap a fruitful harvest. Ultimately our mission to nourish the Dreamers of tomorrow and honor the Hero's of our yesterday.

We aim to study and understand our past and use that information to better ourselves and our surroundings. We believe striving to perfectly sync your mind, body and spirit is a life-long goal and practice, not a destination one reaches. Through this pursuit we unlock what we call “Growth Harmony” and a stronger sense of compassion for one another; while still being able to maintain our personal individuality. The things that make us different are also the things that pull us together.
Universal Law
1. The Law of Divine Oneness
The first and most foundational law of the universe is the Law of Divine Oneness, which highlights the interconnectedness of all things. It says that beyond our senses, every thought, action, and event is in some way connected to anything and everything else.
Practical Application:
Have you ever had the feeling of being in a simulation or the thought that there could be no way something could synchronize so well without your direct efforts. This is a direct result of the Law of Divine Oneness, applying it in real life entails being compassionate with others, and recognizing that we are all one. If we can do this then things will continue to align in our favor.
2. The Law of Vibration
At a microscopic level, everything is in constant motion, vibrating at a specific frequency. This applies to matter but also one's personal frequency as well. This law says that our vibrational frequency can inform our lived experience.
Practical Application:
We are taught that all stages of mass are based in vibrations. Both our inner and outer worlds are ruled by frequencies; these frequencies carry messages, energies and meanings. We carry the ability is increase or decrease or frequencies based on our actions and environment. There are lots of great practices for elevating your frequency; including yoga, sound bathing, chakra work and mediatation.
3. The Law of Correspondence
This law states that patterns repeat throughout the universe, and on a personal level, our reality is a mirror of what's happening inside us at that moment. Think "As above, so below. As within, so without."
Practical Application:
So often we use the phrase "product of my environment" without a complete understanding of what it truly means. How we react and perceive circumstance's determines our external world. As noted by Kaiser "If our life is chaotic and fearful," she says, "it's because there is chaos and fear within. If our life seems calm and grounded, it is because we feel peace within."
4. The Law of Attraction
Undoubtedly the most reknown universal law, the law of attraction is often used for manifestation. It says that like attracts like, and you get what you focus on. Not only that, but you have to believe what you're seeking is possible to obtain. It is similar to the law of vibration in this way; it's important to learn how to vibrate at a level that attracts what you're seeking.
Practical Application:
The Bible is the best book in reference to the Law of Attraction. Here we are given the most direct description of what it is to manifest. We pray for what it is we need, we believe that said desire will be delivered to us and then we live our life as if we have it until it has been received; expressing joy and gratitude for such favor all the way along.
5. The Law of Inspired Action
Closely related to the law of attraction, the law of inspired action is all about taking those real, actionable steps to invite what we want into our lives. Often the inspiration comes from within. "Inspired action is that gentle, internal nudge," Kumar says. "It's not always a plan of action."
Practical Application:
Practicing this law is all about slowing down, getting quiet, and creating space for internal guidance. When we let go of our need to arrange and control how things will work out and are instead open to all possibilities, it makes room for new ways of achieving the goals that we might not have considered otherwise. We align ourselves with the Universe and allow it's current to guide of through life.
6. Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy
This law states that on an energetic level, everything in the universe is constantly evolving or fluctuating. Every action is preceded by a thought, with thoughts themselves having the power to eventually manifest in our physical reality. Ever been around a person who seems to radiate positivity and felt your own positivity increase? That's one example, but it can also work the other way around. Frequencies transmute and adjust each-other when applied with intention.
Application Practical:
Knowing this, we can actively seek to uplift negative energy around us by maintaining positive thoughts and actions. We can also transmute different forms of energy into the energies of our desires; sexual transmutation is another very common form of this practice.
7. The Law of Cause & Effect
Relatively straightforward, this law highlights the direct relation between actions and reactions. What's important to note here, according to Kumar, is we often can't see the effects right away, but they will come back around.
Practical Application:
The vibrations of our actions can be felt both near and dear as well as far and wide. Every decision we make has a ripple effect of varying degrees. Some of which we see the effects of immediately and some a bit more delayed. Time and distance are irrelevant as it pertains to this topic. The energy you emit will always be reciprocated in some form or fashion. If you're coming from a place of anger or resentment, if you put that energy out there, you'll eventually be affected as a result.
8. The Law of Compensation
The law of compensation relates closely to the law of attraction and the law of correspondence. "You reap what you sow" is the main takeaway, with the law stating your efforts will always come back to you positively. If you are seeking something, you must contribute in some way toward your goal.
Practical Application:
Have you ever heard the saying "The harvest is plenty but the workers are few"; or what about "You get out what you put in." The more work you are willing to put in, the more lessons you're willing to put in, the less you'll have to wait for your desired results.
9. The Law of Relativity
This law suggests that we are inclined to compare things in our world, but in reality, everything is neutral. Relativism exists in all things, and in the end, meaning comes down to our perspective and perception.
How to apply it:
Comparison is the thief of joy. if you feeling ungrateful for your situation, it could be because we're comparing yours to someone else's. Existing and moving from a place of gratitude should be our daily pursuit.
10. The Law of Polarity
This law says that everything in life exist on a spectrum; good and evil, love and fear, hot and cold, dark and light. The key is understanding these are all two sides of the same coin.
How to apply it:
Being able to acknowledge and respect this Law for fundamental to the understanding of the Universe. Everything exist in balance and polarity is essential to achieve this. The word and and the word versus would paint the most clear depiction for how to approach this concept. This Law teaches us to cast away the competitive nature of "versus" and embrace the coexistence of "and".
11. The Law of Rhythm
Cycles are a natural part of the universe. Physically, you can think about the seasons on Earth. In our own lives, we can remember that integration is just as important as growth. Kumar notes, "We expect ourselves to be one way all the time, whether we're thinking about our health or even productivity," but this is not sustainable.
How to apply it:
Listen to your inner rhythms and try to work with them instead of fighting. Feeling worn out? Consider giving yourself some rest instead of pushing through. Remember to prioritize self-care and listen to your body's signals and also be looking to read the signs being shown to you by life. Take a moment to reflect on your daily routine and identify areas where you can incorporate more mindfulness and presence.
12. The Law of Gender
And lastly, the law of gender has to do with the masculine and feminine energy that exists in all things. Kaiser notes that much of our society has historically operated from a masculine, "hustle and do" mentality, which doesn't allow for much room to just be.
How to apply it:
Achieve your own balance between the divine masculine and divine feminine energies in order to live more authentically. Discover the perfect harmony between masculine and feminine energies for a more authentic life. Uncover the intrinsic balance of masculine and feminine energies to foster a truly authentic existence.
