Number Three: The Kybalion

'The Kybalion' by The Three Initiates is the third book in my recommended reading for enlightenment list.

This book is about the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt & Greece, specifically referring to the works of Hermes Trismetigus (The Thrice Great). There is also some wonder about him being the Greek god Hermes, or Thoth as he was known in Egypt; being a priest or a sage as well as holding godly status.


There are seven Hermetic principles:

- Mentalism
- Correspondence
- Vibration
- Polarity
- Cause & Effect
- Rhythm
- Gender

Wisdom that has been passed on such matters are all rounded off the great idea of 'The All' - every single existence. The All is everything we could ever comprehend in terms of galaxies, dimensions, all possible creatures, celestial beings and the Divine. The All cannot be manipulated and changed nor can anything be greater than it...once you get your head around this, it is the most simple yet most sensible dynamic in which all knowledge is a part of.

With chapters such as 'The Mental Universe' and 'The Divine Paradox', your exploration to thought form and universal truth begins in this simply written slither of a book...it is small but packs a big punch.

Hermetics is a wonderful philosophy that can be moulded spiritually and logically into any universal idea...scientists may disagree of course but when we all contemplate every existence as a mental manifestation, we can see sense in the formations of our universe...even better, what is beyond it and what falls under that which there is no greater - The All.
