The Kybalion: Mastering the Hidden Forces of Nature
The Kybalion is a book that contains knowledge on how to bend reality by learning to master the hidden forces of nature. It was published in 1901 by a group known as the Three Initiates and contains seven principles derived from the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, who lived in Egypt around 1-2 A.D. and was known as the Messenger of the gods.
Up until the Kybalion was published, Hermes’ teachings, also known as hermeticism, were considered forbidden knowledge and were only passed down through history by secret societies and occult masters. It’s the foundation of various practices and beliefs, including:
- 📜 Freemasonry
- 🎩 Magic
- ⚗️ Alchemy
- 🌌 Law of Attraction
The First Principle: We All Come from the Same Source
The first principle states that we all come from the same source energy or god. Because we’re all derived from this universal source, we also have the power to create worlds.
The Second Principle: The Principle of Correspondence
The principle of correspondence says, “as above, so below, as within, so without”. This means that our inner world reflects on our outer world; reality is a mirror. It’s also where the phrase “when it rains, it pours” comes from.
Have you ever noticed that when one thing goes wrong, everything seems to happen all at once? This is because everything is connected. Think of a mirror: it reflects back what you show it, and this applies across all scales.
To apply the principle of correspondence, it’s crucial to:
- 🧠 Maintain a positive or neutral mental state
- 🙏 Practice gratitude, even for the smallest things in your life
- 🎯 Align your thoughts with your desired outcome
By mastering and applying these principles to your life, you can completely transform it in any way you want.
