The Law of Polarity states that:

1. anything can be split into two wholly opposite characteristics; and
2. each of these polar elements contains the potentiality of the other within its essence.

If you have seen the Chinese Yin-Yang symbol, you will have a picture to associate with this law. Mystics and increasingly physicists talk about “the whiteness of black” and the “blackness of white,” “the soundless sound,” etc. Physicists talk about “the wave nature of particles” and “the particle nature of waves,” “holes in space,” etc. Related to this law is what the Emerald Tablet of Hermes expresses as “as above, so below.” “The macrocosm is contained in the microcosm.” A key phrase to remember is: “Everything contains its opposite.”
