Books The Kybalion: Centenary Edition  by Three Initiates (Author)

"The Kybalion: Centenary Edition" by the Three Initiates is a foundational work on Hermetic philosophy, drawing on ancient Egyptian and Greek knowledge through the teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. The book presents seven core Hermetic principles that explain the nature of reality and provide a guide for personal transformation and mastery.

Summary of key Hermetic principles:

The Principle of Mentalism: "The All is Mind" — The universe is a mental creation of the all-encompassing Mind.

The Principle of Correspondence: "As above, so below; as below, so above" — Patterns repeat across different planes of existence.

The Principle of Vibration: Everything is in constant motion and vibration; nothing rests.

The Principle of Polarity: Everything has its pair of opposites that are identical in nature but different in degree (e.g., hot and cold).

The Principle of Rhythm: All things rise and fall in cycles, with swings between extremes.

The Principle of Cause and Effect: Every effect has a cause; nothing happens by chance.

The Principle of Gender: Everything contains masculine and feminine principles that influence creation and manifestation.
