Source Material

The wisdom, after passing from lip to ear for several thousand years before fictitiously being originally written as "The Kybalion," then lost over the centuries, "The Kybalion" was essentially rewritten in 1908 by an American new-thought and occultist author named William Walker Atkinson, penned as Three Initiates. The principles described are attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, the mythical reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian god Thoth, venerated as three times greater than the Greek god Hermes, contemporary of Abraham, founder of astrology, and discoverer of alchemy (the psychological art of turning thoughts and emotions into spiritual gold).

Just as the word "occult" accurately means hidden, referring to esoteric spiritual knowledge, so to does the word "hermetic" mean hidden, referring to the protective containment of such higher wisdom from persecution, abuse, and dogma. "The lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of understanding." Likewise, "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom" The Kybalion. These principles are the master keys to unlocking the Universe's secrets and many occult teachings.

These principles were first written down by the scribes of Alexander when the Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 BCE. Over a thousand years later, those writings resurfaced in the late Medieval and early Renaissance periods throughout Europe and the Middle East. They became the source material of gnostic works called "The Corpus Hermeticum" and "The Emerald Tablet of Hermes, " which, though more poetically abstract, were said to have inspired the creation of "The Kybalion."

The Principle of Cause and Effect
Every cause has its effect, and every effect has its cause. Everything happens according to law; Chance is but a name for a law not recognized, aka karma.

The Law of Balance and Harmony: The university maintains a constant balance between all three planes of existence, mental, emotional (spiritual), and physical, and keeps in harmony with all creation. For example, you consistently maintain high levels of emotion and consciousness, and your thinking also aligns with how you feel most of the time. If your current physical results are decent but don't reflect your inner world, you are out of balance. Balancing forces will come in and maintain equilibrium. The Universe is constantly testing you to see if you can handle the challenges of that which you desire without losing your positive attitude and momentum. "Trust the process," there is correspondence between all three planes. If you pass the tests, your prosperity will increase. If you do not, you either stay stagnant or lose more. Jesus said, "Whoever has something in his hand will receive more, and whoever has nothing will be deprived of even the little he has." ― The Lost Gospel of Thomas, Verse 41. You don't know what (God) the Universe has in store for you, so trust that it's all for your greater good, and good things will await you. Be in the gain, not the gap. Allow yourself to reset this universal balance by riding a higher plane of thoughts and emotions than you previously were to invite the presence of balancing forces intentionally, then pass the tests with conscious awareness to rebalance at a higher level of being.  

Objective morality: The Universe continuously rebalances itself according to our actions, beginning with the thoughts and emotions we emanate and the actions we take. Objective morality is an impersonal force; it doesn't care about your justifications. Its only job is to balance the scales in perfect harmony for all. The laws of karma could not work any other way. "Judge not, that ye be not judged." ― the Bible, Matthew 7:1. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (Golden Rule) ― the Bible in Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12.

The plane of effects, the physical or manifested world, primarily constitutes what has already occurred. As such, there is little power to affect change because what has already happened cannot unoccur. It has become what is, which is objective truth. While relative or personal truth serves its purpose through the principle of correspondence, the mirror principle, all truths are half-truths subordinate to the one overarching objective Truth (what is). The underlying cause is how we think and feel, which dictates our behavior. This radical mental/emotional self-responsibility is why meditation, contemplation, shadow work, and the forgiveness of self and others are all so important. The plane of causality, the spiritual/psychological world or the why, is where causes are primarily set into motion. One can learn and evolve future actions by observing the current effects on self and others and acknowledging and changing the spiritual/psychological causal factors that lead to one's choices.
