The Kybalion
The “Great Work” of Hermetic Alchemy is to discover our innermost essence and allow that to refine and perfect our being. The 7 principles described in The Kybalion is an invaluable resource for empowering our journey.
Have you ever had the sense that you create your reality? Or that there are a few universal laws that, if you can really get them, will give you an upper hand in life? Do you ever wonder if there’s a master-key to understanding the human condition? Perhaps you are already familiar with concepts like manifestation and the law of attraction, soul mates, karma and the importance of vibration?
But did you know that these, and many other ideas, are an expression of a mystery tradition with a rich history? Hermetic teachings are believed to reach back thousands of years, emerging as a perennial philosophy pre-dating ancient Egypt. This essence has persisted, influencing thought leaders that have changed our world; like Carl Jung, Issac Newton, and Thomas Edison to name but a few.
The Kybalion is an essential text for anyone interested in internal alchemy, modern metaphysics or new age thought. It is a fairly modern presentation of the principles and axioms of Hermetic Alchemy. The “Truths” presented in it provide a rich basis for contemplation that super-charges our internal work, as well as our power to thrive in the 3D realm. These principles and axioms also provide a framework through which other wisdom traditions and transformational practices can be effectively understood. The Seven Principles are:
- Mentalism: Everything is mind
- Correspondence: As above, so below
- Vibration: Everything vibrates with movement
- Polarity: Everything is dual
- Rhythm: Ebb and flow
- Cause and Effect: every cause has an effect, every effect has a cause
- Gender: everything has yin & yang energy*
Taken together, these principles provide a way to transmute our relationship to the world. The “Great Work” of Hermetic Alchemy is to discover our innermost essence and allow that to refine and perfect our being. In fact, the whole reason we are here is to learn the essential lessons available to us in this incarnation; we came here for a purpose and nothing is more essential than finding and fulfilling that purpose.
In this self-paced training, which includes a discussion forum, you will be guided in an exploration and contemplation of Hermetic principles as presented in The Kybalion. Each chapter is accompanied by:
