The Kybalion (1908) by Three Initiates
Book Summary: "The Kybalion" is a book that was first published in 1908 and is attributed to the "Three Initiates."
The book is a study of the principles of Hermetic philosophy, which is a system of thought that originated in ancient Egypt and Greece.
The book is organized around seven core principles, which are referred to as the "Seven Hermetic Principles."
These principles are:
The Principle of Mentalism: The idea that all reality is mental and that the mind is the fundamental creative force in the universe.
The Principle of Correspondence: The idea that there is a correspondence between the physical and the spiritual worlds, and that what is above is reflected below.
The Principle of Vibration: The idea that everything in the universe is in a state of vibration and that the differences between things are due to different rates of vibration.
The Principle of Polarity: The idea that everything in the universe has its opposite and that these opposites are interconnected and interdependent.
The Principle of Rhythm: The idea that everything in the universe moves in a cycle and that the cycles of nature reflect the principles of the universe.
The Principle of Cause and Effect: The idea that every action has an equal and opposite reaction and that everything in the universe is connected.
The Principle of Gender: The idea that everything in the universe has both male and female principles and that the balance between these principles is necessary for creation.
