THE KYBALION
Seven
Hermetic Principles
(Attributed to Hermes Trismegistus – a pre-historic Egyptian Seer)
PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM:
The ALL is MIND:
The Universe is Mental.
PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE: As
above, so below; As below, so above.
PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION: Nothing
rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.
PRINCIPLE
OF POLARITY: Everything is dual; everything
has poles; everything has its pairs of opposites: like and unlike are the same;
opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet;
All truths are but half-truths;
all paradoxes may be reconciled.
PRINCIPLE
OF 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.
PRINCIPLE
OF 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.
PRINCIPLE
OF GENDER: Gender is in everything;
everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all
planes.
1.
The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by
a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals
– a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like Wealth, is intended for Use. The
Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his
conflict with natural forces.
2.
To change your mood or mental state – change your
vibration.
3.
To destroy an unfavorable rate of mental vibration, put
into operation the Principle of Polarity and concentrate upon the opposite pole
to that which you desire to oppress. Kill out the undesirable by changing its
polarity.
4.
Mind may be transmuted from state to state; degree to
degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration.
5.
Rhythm may be neutralized by an application of the Art of
Polarization.
6.
Nothing escapes the Principle of Cause and Effect, but
there are many planes of Causation, and one may use the laws of the higher to
overcome the laws of the lower.
7.
The wise ones serve on the higher, but rule on the lower.
They obey the laws coming from above them, but on their own plane – and those
below them – they rule and give orders. And yet, in so doing, they form a part
of the Principle, instead of opposing it. The wise man falls in with the Law,
and by understanding its movements he operates it instead of being its blind
slave. Just as does the skilled swimmer turn this way and that way, going and
coming as he will, instead of being the log which is carried here and there –
so is the wise man as compared to the ordinary man – and yet both swimmer and
log, wise man and fool, are subject to Law. He who understands this is well on
the road to mastery.
8.
True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art; The ALL is
MIND.
