There are some things we can understand of universal nature. First and most obvious is that isness has a nature. This nature has a kind of approximate feel to it: a tolerance, a generosity within it. What is granted within isness is allowance. It can be put into simple words like "Thou mayest."
Now, within this allowance, we are almost immediately aware that there are two major directional forces within the Universe, one towards the Centre and one away from the Centre. One towards the Higher (e.g. the spiritual), and one towards the Lower (e.g. the material). There are words like evolution and involution of which it may be useful to become aware. It is important to observe that neither of these directional forces has priority over the other. And that both are essential within the overall scheme of things. There seems to be a balanced process spinning between these two directional forces. This process is living and dying: often known as life. This life stuff is endemic within everything. Everything is in a process of both living and dying. Sometimes more towards living, sometimes more towards dying, but always within the process.
So far, so good.
Now, we come to lesser "principles".
It is easy to observe both good and evil within ones daily life. Good might be imagined as following universal guidances, and evil could be described as being ignorant or avoidant of universal guidances. It is often noted how universal allowance includes both good and evil within its generosity. However, the Universe is 6 billion years old (some say). Evil does not sustain for any length of time, good does.
