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.

1- The Principle of Mentalism
The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental.

This principle illustrates that the core fundamental of the Universe and everything in it exists as Source Consciousness, the fabric of all physical matter. We are each individuated consciousness within and a part of one higher Mind, Divine Consciousness, God, the totality of everything and all of existence. We are each spiritual beings having a human experience, as the Universe itself is Spirit existing as solidity.

Thoughts generate emotions, and emotions generate thoughts, which together form the behavior that produces the things and conditions we experience, personally and collectively. To create your life consciously, you must be aware of where you choose to hold your thoughts and emotions. Then, take the proper action accordingly. Know thyself; you can better manifest desired results as you understand your subconscious motives, fears, and desires.

This principle has two aspects: the first concerns The All, substantial objective reality, and the second concerns the individual and our subjective perceptions. It also views the mind as a three-part trinity: the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the collective unconscious or superconscious mind. All three parts work together to connect the individual (the microcosm) and The All (the macrocosm).

Everything is energy and exists from a single substrate of thought. The fact that Spirit is all that is apparent is scientifically called the Unified Field. Even quantum physics reflects many of these metaphysical understandings. The infamous Double Slit experiment proves that the Universe is conscious, aware of our presence, and adjusts to our behavior; note the Observer Effect, that one's observations shape the reality one experiences. Physicality exists as two states of being: The second is the physical matter we experience. The first are intangible waves of potentiality, energy, or thought. Everything originates as this potentiality then pops into existence the moment it's observed by conscious awareness. Thoughts collapse the wave function, giving us the illusion that we're experiencing solid matter, though ultimately, everything we experience is just electrical signals the brain interprets.

One could, in their own egoicness, adopt a position of solipsism and chant I am God, or another, in their disbelief of God, state that we're all in nothing more than a meaningless simulational video game. Both are half-truths that fail to recognize the second principle, the law of correspondence. We're all gods and goddesses as part of, reflecting, and existing in a divine simulational reality: the mind of the actual capital G God, Source Consciousness (The All of all existence). "You are dwelling within the infinite mind of The All, and your possibilities and opportunities are infinite both in time and space." ― The Kabalian. We are all one within Divine Consciousness, and everything, if zoomed out to understand as a single point, is happening simultaneously. God is The All, and all is one within God.

Everything happening is a result of a mental/emotional state of being. You need first to change your thoughts to change your reality. To consciously manifest what you desire, you must sift through the distortions and misunderstandings filtered by your ego and positively align your perceptions as closely as possible with the Truth. You need to dive deeply into the void within yourself through meditation and mix intuition with the logic of contemplation. Then you will see reflected within yourself just as The All is mind; the thoughts and emotions we most dominantly think and feel will become the things and conditions we experience. The Principle of Mentalism exists individually in one's personal life and is also reflected in the aggregate of society as a whole, helping to manifest our shared consensus reality.

Consistent daily meditation will allow you to tap your subconscious and open new doors to a greater potential. The subconscious is the gateway to every reality we experience through our habitual expectations of perceiving the world. Though God (The All), in all its totality of infinite conscious awareness, is unknowable from our finite perspective of limited conscious awareness, we can access its wisdom through what's known as the collective unconscious or superconscious mind. One's subconscious mind is the link between one's conscious mind and the collective unconscious or superconscious mind of The All.

Whether consciously or unconsciously, we are manifesting all the time. Psychological shadow work is crucial to manifest what one prefers rather than what one does not. The more control one has over one's own mind to direct one's thoughts at will, the better mastery one will have over one's life, and a more fulfilling one at that. So dive deep into your subconscious and do the work to purify your mind. Connect to the superconscious of The All to psychologically create the world you prefer. Mentally induce others to share in your positive vision and help co-create a better world for all, for The All. The All is mind, the Universe is mental.
