The Kybalion

by The Three Initiates

Originally published in 1908 by unnamed authors calling themselves the "Three Initiates" and published by the Yogi Publication Society in Chicago, Illinois, "The A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece" is a widely read and influential study of the principles of Hermeticism. The philosophy of Hermeticism is based upon the teachings of the ancient Greek author and philosopher Hermes Trismegistus and posits that all life and truth flow from a single, universal creator. This universal creator then gave knowledge of universal truths to man and through a study of these truths of the physical world, great feats of science can be achieved and humans can reach their full potential. These truths have meaning to both the material world in its grandest sense and to the inner consciousness of each individual person. It is only by understanding the truth of the cosmos that a person can understand their own true self. The book is arranged around seven principles, which are the Principles of Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. The seven principles are then examined in depth in their own individual chapters. This enduring occult classic has introduced countless readers to the magical and mystical teachings of Hermeticism.

The Kybalion may be looked upon as a basic textbook or starting point for any and all esoteric teachings and theories. It describes the very nature of the universe, without ever straying into religion or dogma. in its own words, it "serves as a Great Reconciler of differing theories and opposing doctrines".

Expecting, after Atkinson’s esoteric introductory waffle, mere “words, words, words”, instead in the Kybalion I found a timeless exploration of it (the) all, from corpuscle to universe to beyond and then within.

This book feels like a block of wax under what might eventually be a bonfire.

Thanks to The Kybalion, I finally understand life. It reveals the hidden laws of the universe, showing that everything is connected and in constant vibration. By learning its principles, we can master our minds, transform our lives, and see the deeper patterns of reality.

You can spend a lifetimes studying what is talked about in this book. It provides the key to reconcile all the "occult" knowledge one acquires in life. If this book finds you, give it a read.
