Exploring Immutable and Mutable Universal Laws: A Journey Through Consciousness

Have you ever wondered what anchors our reality, no matter how much we evolve as individuals or as a collective? In The Kybalion, a profound Hermetic text, seven universal laws are described as the framework that governs everything in existence. These principles serve as a guide to understanding the cosmos, ourselves, and the interplay between the two.


But here's the fascinating part: not all these laws remain fixed in their relevance as our consciousness expands. Some stand as eternal pillars of truth, while others may evolve—or even fade—in significance as we grow. Let’s explore this beautiful dichotomy together.

The Three Immutable Laws: Foundations of Existence

Some principles are so fundamental that they transcend time, space, and even the boundaries of our evolving awareness. These immutable laws form the bedrock of all creation:

The Principle of Mentalism
  • "All is Mind; the Universe is Mental."
    This principle tells us that everything begins with consciousness. Every thought, creation, or manifestation is born from the infinite mind of the universe. It reminds us of our creative power—what we think, we bring into existence. Even as our understanding of reality evolves, this truth remains the same: the mind shapes everything.

The Principle of Correspondence

  • "As above, so below; as below, so above."
    Have you ever marvelled at how the patterns of a galaxy mirror the swirling of water down a drain? This principle reveals the interconnectedness of all things, showing us that what happens on one plane of existence reflects on another. As humanity evolves, this universal mirroring continues to guide us, helping us see the divine order in both the grand and the minute.
The Principle of Vibration
  • "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."
    From the hum of atoms to the spiralling motion of galaxies, vibration is the essence of existence. Even in moments of stillness or unity, vibration persists as the mechanism of creation. It reminds us that change and motion are constants, shaping every experience, no matter how far our consciousness may expand.

These laws are eternal—they govern the very fabric of existence, ensuring coherence and harmony in the cosmos.

The Mutable Laws: Shifting with Consciousness

While the immutable laws remain fixed, others—though universal—may become less significant as humanity transcends old paradigms. These mutable laws include Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. Here’s how they might transform:

The Principle of Polarity

  • "Everything has its pair of opposites."
    Life as we know it thrives on duality: light and dark, joy and sorrow. But as our awareness deepens, we begin to see beyond opposites, recognising the unity within the spectrum. Imagine a world where polarity dissolves into balance, where we no longer define experiences as “good” or “bad” but simply as expressions of wholeness.

The Principle of Cause and Effect

  • "Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause."
    This principle teaches accountability and the interconnected nature of events. However, in a heightened state of unity consciousness, cause and effect may dissolve into simultaneity. Actions and outcomes become one, experienced as part of a holistic and eternal now.

The Principle of Rhythm

  • "Everything flows, out and in; all things rise and fall."
    Cycles govern our lives: birth and death, growth and decay. Yet, as we awaken to timelessness—a state of perpetual presence—we may transcend these cycles. In this state, rhythm may still operate, but our perception of its influence changes; we experience flow without the pull of tides.

What This Means for Us

As you journey through life, these laws offer both grounding and liberation. The immutable principles remind us of the unchanging truths that connect us to the divine fabric of the universe. Meanwhile, the mutable laws invite us to evolve, to let go of limiting constructs, and to step into greater freedom.


Here’s the key: the immutable and mutable laws are not at odds. Instead, they work together, offering structure and fluidity, stability and transformation. By aligning with these principles, you can navigate the shifting tides of personal and collective evolution with grace.

A Call to Action

Take a moment to reflect on these questions:

  • How might understanding the immutable laws help you anchor your purpose and creativity?
  • What limiting constructs tied to polarity, rhythm, or gender are ready to be released in your life?


As we step into this era of expanded awareness, we have the opportunity to rewrite our relationship with universal laws. By honouring the eternal truths and embracing the transformative ones, we can co-create a reality aligned with unity, love, and infinite potential.
