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 Rhythm.
Everything flows out and in; Everything has its tides. All things rise and fall. The pendulum swing manifests in everything.

Everything Moves in Cycles

• Life follows natural rhythms, like the ocean tides, the seasons, and the rise and fall of civilizations.

• Like a clock, life keeps moving round and round, and nothing stays the same forever.

1. Highs and Lows Are Connected, and Equil in Measure

   • Success and failure, happiness and sadness, energy and exhaustion—they all come and go like a pendulum.

   • The greater the struggle, the greater the potential success that can follow.

   • There is no actual failure, only learning and growth.

2. Your Perspective Shapes Your Experience

   • What if you could love life so much that even Mondays felt as exciting as Fridays?

   • Would you still fear challenges if they were just stepping stones to growth?

   • You can choose how you see each experience—as suffering or as an opportunity.

3. Understanding Rhythm Helps You Gain Control

   • Most of life's ups and downs happen unconsciously, meaning we react without awareness.

   • By becoming aware of these cycles, you can control how they affect you.

   • The more conscious you are, the less life pushes you around.

4. Alchemy: Making the Best of Any Situation

   • Alchemy is turning the worst into the best.

   • If you can control your thoughts and emotions, you can rise above any challenge.

   • Awareness, acceptance, and release help you move through difficult times with ease and grace.

5. Regulating Your Nervous System for Balance

   • Your body also follows cycles—stress and relaxation, action and rest.

   • To stay balanced, use:

     • Deep breathing with slow exhales

     • Mindfulness and meditation

     • EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique)

     • Proper sleep, exercise, and healthy food

   • In stressful moments, calming your nervous system helps with better thinking and emotional control.

Final Thought

Life will always have ups and downs, but by understanding and working with the rhythm of existence, you can stay centered, grow through challenges, and create a more balanced, joyful life.
