![]() With the Kybalion, the Three Initiates offer a concise, modern, and comprehensible version of the original text, where all the main principles of Hermeticism are no longer veiled in obscurity. In the original text, these concepts - which are abstract and complex enough for the average layman - were often concealed in metaphors, so that outsiders would not understand. We don’t know the exact meaning of this mysterious word, but we do know that it was a compilation of all the main concepts of Hermetic philosophy. In the early days, there was a compilation of certain Basic Hermetic Doctrines, passed on from teacher to student, which was known as “The Kybalion”, the exact significance and meaning of the term having been lost for several centuries. ![]() The authors believe that, following the principle of causality (more on this soon), the teaching can be shared with those who are ready for them.Īs written in the original Kybalion, “when the ears of the students are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with Wisdom”. Hermetic philosophy has always been kept a secret: “ the lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding”.īut thanks to this modern edition of The Kybalion, we can now have access to seven fundamental principles of occult knowledge. These are the teachings that originated in ancient Egypt and that have been passed along throughout the centuries, mouth to ear. The Kybalion is a modern interpretation of an ancient compilation of all the main doctrines of occult knowledge. ![]()
