Four Forces

The Four Forces is a philosophical system developed nearly 30 years ago by Kamala Renner, the founder of the DoveStar Alchemian Institute.

It holds that everything in reality is a manifestation of four simple essences (sound familiar?). These four archetypical forces are as follows:

This is the force the spirals outward. It relates to expansion, thought, and the energy of Yang.

This is the force the spirals inward. It relates to contraction, emotion, and the energy of Yin.

This is the force the transforms and creates. It calls to the Essence of the Divine, Unconditional Love, and the energy of Shen (spirit).

This is the force the maintains balance. It deals with to non-movement, the concept of Right Place, and the energy of Jing (foundation).
