2. As above, so below
See also Chaos by James Gleick or other works on fractal patterns in nature. A coastline is an example - it's form replicates on smaller and smaller levels as you zoom in. Recursive self-similarity.
3. Everything is a single vibration
The electromagnetic spectrum describes all matter as wave frequencies. The world of phenomenon is essentially the interference pattern of these waves as apprehended and collapsed by our sensory apparatus. Aum is the word of this One Vibration. However, quantum mechanics shows that while there is one vibration, there is also an infinite number of singular points. Wave-particle duality. This rests on a level higher than the plenum (see #4).
4. All opposites are actually the same
On the quantum level this seems to be true. At a very deep subatomic level the differences of dualism melt into a plenum of potentiality or probability. I believe this is known as the Plank Scale. Observation (see item #1) collapses the waveform of probability into actuality or, as Whitehead called it, "the formality of actually becoming".
5. All is subject to ebb and flow
No forms are eternal. The mutual struggle between structure and entropy ensures that nothing will remain fixed for very long. This is especially true of living systems. The human body is constantly recycling its atoms from birth til death when the energy bound in form is released back into the plenum to be absorbed by other forms. There is an atomic will towards binding and dissociation, driven by thermodynamics and electrochemistry.
6. There is no such thing as coincidence and nothing just "happens"
Leaving meaning aside, every event is the result of the inteeraction of many other events which in turn were each inspired by other events etc etc. All of these events are governed by the fundamental laws of physics which, as far as we know, can not be violated. Thus, nothing can happen that wasn't meant to happen. As smoke noted, all of existence proceeds in this manner from the Big Bang. However, this mustn't be confused with a purely deterministic view of the universe, as if the Bing Bang itself held the template for every event ever to come. Life remains the summation of an infinitude of probabilities.
7. Everything seeks to unite with something else
There is a formative principle fundamental to the construction of the elements in the periodic table which establishes attraction and repulsion. Electron valence shells determine how elements will interact with each other to form molecules. Molecules have acidic and basic polarities which determine how they will assemble into structures like rocks and proteins. Matter accretes into forms while the energy contained in those forms seeks to be released, either to build other structures or to dissipate into the heat of entropy.

And BiaS, sorry to hijack your thread into a discussion of these points, but they're just too damn fun to talk about. I will try to find more books at home tonight.
