A New Interpretation of the Classic Hermetic Manual The Kybalion by Doreen Virtue. (www.AngelThearapy.com)
The original teacher of this Divine magic was an Egyptian sage named Hermes Trismegistus. His teachings, called “Hermetics”, were only taught verbally or in very cryptic writings. In 1908, three Hermetic students wrothe this down in a book called The Kybalion. Yet, this work, was still difficult to understand because of its archaic and confusing language.
Here is an overview of the Seven Sacred Principles that the Hermes gave us.
1. Mentalism: “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental”
Mind means infinite and unerring intelligence, wisdom and creativity. Since The All is everywhere, Mind is everywhere. You live inside this omnipresent Mind of The All. Your true Mind (Your higher self) is an extension and a creation of the Divine Mind.
2. Correspondence: “As above, so below; as below, so above.”
The Hermetists divide the world into three planes: physical, mental and spiritual. Each plane operates by the same spiritual laws. So if you understand the laws governing one plane, you’ll understand how the other planes operate. By applying this understanding, you can elevate your consciousness and life to higher planes of existence.
3. Vibration: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates”
Even inanimate objects vibrate. The difference between the varying planes of existence is merely in their vibrational rate of movement. Hermetists apply this principle by accelerating or decelerating the vibrational rate of objects or situations that they wish to attract, change or banish.
4. Polarity: “Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites, like and unlike are the same; opposite are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.”
This principle says that every experience and choice is the same in truth. What appears to be opposite is actually the same, but with different degrees of the same ingredients. Prosperity and poverty are not opposites. They are merely ends of the same pole, vibrating at different rates. Each situation in your life has such a pole, with extremes at either end and vibrational increments in between.
Hermetists use this principle to transmute unwanted situations and emotions into something more desirable, merely by changing their vibration to the highest end of each pole.
5. Rhythm: “Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides, all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.”
Universe operates in precise and predictable rhythms. If you allow these rhythms to master you, then your moods and life will fluctuate up and down. However, by mastering the rhythms, you become immune to downward turns in emotions or life experiences.
6. Cause and Effect: “Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law”
This is a perfectly ordered universe, and nothing happens by chance or accident. There’s always cause behind every Effect. Life mastery occurs when you become a conscious cause of the effects you desire, instead of being carried along by the wills or desires of others. You can use this principle to effect healings and manifestations.
7. Gender: “ Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.”
Not just human body, but energy in each person. Everyone has both these energies within them. These energies are equally powerful and interdependent upon each other to form creation. Female energy is magnetic and attracting. Male energy is electric and creating. Banishing (releasing) and attracting are the basis of Divine magic. To manifest, you much either attract your desire or create it. To enjoy a steady flow of abundance, understand and work with the steady flow of giving and receiving, as this principle teaches.
As long as we live on the material Earth plane, matter is real to us. Matter isn’t less real to us just because we understand the scientific truth about atoms, or the Hermetic teachings about the mental nature of the Universe.
We can control matter by applying higher forces. This is better than pretending that matter doesn’t exist. The laws of nature are constant, and we can’t escape them. We can, however , overcome the laws by applying higher ones.
The universe and its laws and phenomena are real, so far as humans are concerned. The Universe is also ever-changing and transitory, so it’s unreal in the Absolute sense. However, we must live and act as if the fleeting Universe and matter were real. In the material world, Mentalism, the power of your thought, is the greatest natural force.
