Third Force
From Cassiopedia
In the spirit of a duality defined by STO/STS, Creation/Entropy, Ascending/Descending, B-influence/A-influence, etc, one has a decision to make in every given moment. The choice one makes in this decision aligns one with either the Creative principle or Entropic principle. The Third Force is the configuration of circumstances, structures, and characters in that given moment that define the alignment of the choices one has. Truly one of the most dangerous occult truths, the Third Force implies that no moral dogma is comprehensive enough to inform one involved in The Work on how to act in alignment with the Creative principle in every possible situation. This idea is closely related to the principle of "perspicacity", which is the discernment of what the Third Force can reveal about the nature of the choices in that given moment.
From "Jupiter, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, and the Return of the
Mongols" by Laura Knight-Jadczyk:
`There are those who think that truth or lies are always static,
that a lie is a lie is a lie and that to be "good," one must ALWAYS
tell the "truth." However, it is not always that easy. For example,
consider France during the Nazi occupation. Undoubtedly, many of
those involved in the resistance lied daily and regularly about
their plans and activities. What was different about their lies was
the INTENT and the SPECIFIC SITUATION. In such a situation, speaking
the truth to a Nazi soldier who would use that truth to destroy
one's fellow resistance fighters would be "evil," so to say, and
lying would be "good." The greater truth that the lie served was
Freedom from Tyranny. The "observer" of the situation knew the
objective truth that revealing his plans or betraying his brothers
would bring their deaths. The reality of the Nazis was based on
subjective lies, and by responding to these lies leading to tyranny
with an opposite lie that led to freedom was then an effective
canceling of the subjectivity leaving the field clear for
objectivity. This simple example ought to give the reader much to
think about in terms of the socialized belief in a "black and white"
exposition of "truth or lies" and "good and evil".'
