Along the way, I have met people who, though they claim to believe in metaphysical principles such as karma and the identity of your beliefs about yourself and others, they still do not accept that these principles are always true.
As you suggest, plenum, observing the archetypes in my daily life has not only further elucidated these principles, but also shown that they hold in every situation, regardless of the details. That I do not always see it is only a testament to my lack of understanding and not to the stability of the principles themselves.
Living the Law of One has become easier now that I do not put as much emphasis on quantity as I do on quality. Sometimes I see people acting wild and dramatic. And when I see this, it is difficult to see the wildly dramatic side of myself. This is only because I do not display the same quantity of drama that I am witnessing. The drama is still there in quality, and that is what is being shown to me, quantity notwithstanding. This applies to the rigidity I see in my corporate job, the nervousness in my boss, the stubbornness in my wife, etc. I may not be nearly as nervous a person as my boss is, but I must still be somewhat nervous or I wouldn't see it in him.
This ability to identify with others, even in the most extreme permutations of any given quality, has given me a tendency toward compassion which makes the entire process easier. Because I know what these emotions and neuroses feel like, it is easier to have compassion on others who are going through them.
