Product Description: The Kybalion: A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece is a concise and elegant treatise on occultism and High Magic in Greece and Egypt. Here you will be introduced to the Seven Hermetic Principles, a foundation upon which one can build their own personal spiritual path.
SOLID PRINCIPLES WITH SHAKY EXPLANATIONS The Principles of the Kybalion are well based. The Three Initiates seem to be adding the explanations to Principles that came from somewhere else and another time. The explanations are a worthy attempt at defining The Hermetic Principles but they leave much to be desired and even steer MIND down the wrong path, further away from it's knowledge. I can understand why they didn't put their names on the book.
Great content, poor printing! I have had several copies of this book (I keep buying them because I keep giving my copies away). My criticism is simply aesthetic - this particular issue of The Kybalion is poorly formatted and contains numerous errors. The best copy I had has a picture of two hands on the cover...
Besides all that, this book is amazing. Hands down the most powerful thing I have ever read.
The Kybalion This book is a must for any serious student of spirituality, I read this book as a teen and did not appreciate it, recently I decided to purchase a copy and reread it, I found myself having many Neo moments, I would read a little paragraph and go whoaaaaaaaa like when Morpheous showed Neo how to jump across the building with out hitting the pavement lol. I find myself savoring the words and nodding my head in agreement. the Kybalion is something that is inherent in man/woman his/her spirituality and their connection with the mental universe. it put into words what I had always felt deep in my soul and at this stage in my spiritual evolution I can appreciate it and be filled with hope for humans and this planet once again.
Brilliant and unmissable A thought provoking, crystal-clear, concise and simple yet extremely effective explanation of the "holy grail" of ancient wisdom, the much elusive "philosopher's stone" sought after through millennia of intelligent human questioning and versed in countless forms of myth, philosophy, religion, esoterism and science throughout the whole planet. A must for the honest, open minded and unbiased truth seeker of our times, regardless of ideological background or creed. In our view, a priceless contribution to a much needed new era not only of knowledge but of wisdom and awareness. "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom". Brilliant and unmissable! A great thank you to "The Three Initiates".
Interesting This book covers a lot of territory and other reviewers have spoken their minds. Some comments here on one aspect of the teaching: In all our minds, there is a masculine principle and a feminine principle, also called the "I" and the "Me". Vibrations from the "I" stimulate the "Me" and creativity results. Writers, composers, visual artists and inventors create in this way. The "I" consists mostly of will and the "Me" consists mostly of imagination. If these two principles work harmonously in a person, the result is creative originality. Interesting theory as to how we create.
