The Kybalion _ A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece

by Three Initiates

The Kybalion was published in 1908 by those known only as The Three Initiates . Who they were is a mystery, but their contributions to Hermetic philosophy are immense. This book includes only the original text of the Kybalion as composed by the initiates. There are no additions or edits to detract or distract from the original authors' work. The Principle of Mentalism
“The all is the mind; the Universe is Mental”

The Principle of Vibration
“As above, so below; as below, so above.”

The Principle of Polarity
"Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled”

The Principle of Rhythm
"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.

The Principle of Cause and Effect
"Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law.”

The Principle of Gender
"Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; gender manifests on all planes."

This was a mental exercise, had to do some mental gymnastics. Glad I got chemistry, science, biology and math in school cause this book took me back to those days. I find it hard to give it stars.

Man sagt du findest das Buch nicht sondern wirst davon gefunden. Es ist so abstrakt dass man erst mal nichts damit anfangen kann. In den letzten 5 Seiten dann mehr greifbares Wissen. Aber beim zweiten read hab ich mich mehr damit auseinandergesetzt und paar Dinge verstanden die mir die Augen geöffnet haben. Das reicht aber nicht, Menschen fallen in ihre alten Verhaltensmuster zurück.

Denk für dich selbst.

This is very difficult to read and to absorb if you have no idea what the author(s) are trying to convey or explain here since most of the sentences are seemingly (or intentionally) explained too vaguely, cryptically, or loosely.

I'd personally rate it as a 1/2 star if I hadn't noticed/observed such situations myself nor heard and read similar content, references, or testimonies, beforehand.

I think it is pretty amazing that the authors were trying their best to share these philosophies that has been around for centuries yet whatever has been share stills resonate and coincides in many modern philosophies/scientific discoveries on explaining how our given reality works in the metaphysical, spiritual, mental, and physical plane/sense/phenomena.

P.S. I'm pretty surprised that the law of attraction also was found in this book.

A splendid book.
It is one of the books that makes you understand that knowledge must be accompanied by use.
It certainly adds sometging to your understanding, which is the important point of reading a book. In addition, it is considered a reference for several points in understanding cosmic laws.
