Publisher's Summary

He was the father of the occult, the founder of astrology, the discoverer of alchemy. He was Hermes Trismegistus, and as the scribe of the gods of ancient Egypt, he possessed all divine knowledge... which he passed on to humanity, though only those who have been tutored in its wonders can fully understand it.In this extraordinary 1912 book, three secret initiates to his teachings - who remain anonymous to this day - share their insight with all who seek to understand the mysterious underpinnings of the universe and our relationship with it.

An appreciation of Hermeticism, as the basis of all paranormal philosophies still studied today, is an absolute must for anyone fascinated by magic, the supernatural, and the wisdom of the ancients.

Big bites of ancient (now age?) wisdom to chew on

This book covers a lot of territory - consciousness, dimensions, physics, science, nature, natural law (Universe, Earth, Human), behavior, mental abilities, responsibility, integrity, and much more.

For someone interested in spiritual development, there's food for thought here. Strangely, I wasn't expecting so much that is relevant today in physics and science to be part of ancient teachings. Interesting.

horrible narrator

Would you listen to The Kybalion again? Why?

The narrator kept yawning during this book. Whatever he's being paid it's too much! Otherwise a lot of interesting stuff.

Game changer for the true seeker of knowledge

Many of the concepts of the hermetic teachings given in this book are those that instinctually we all know already. Though over the course of our lives we are but mere manifestations of our environment on every level... Biologically, philosophically, psychologically and most importantly.... Mentally. What this book will give you is the key to understanding the different aspects of all these things in your life and the other lives around you. You will see the unconscious made manifest in every being and its environment. You will see then, the incredible power you wield once you not only grasp this concept but also implement the transmutation of the underlying laws that drive these outward manifestations within yourself.

Useful but a bit misleading to neophytes

Any additional comments?

This echoes the ancient realizations of the sages from around the globe. To me it feels like a blend of Taoism and Buddhism and I often found myself thinking that one would be better to take up the Buddhist practice instead because it's a much more fleshed out system but I must admit to being partial on this matter. This could serve as a good nudge in a right direction as far as awareness of what the mind is and how it functions and how it is malleable. However, as in much of spirituality, there runs the risk of the new comer being confused and stuck in "seeking" mode, and some naive ones may very well misinterpret what is meant by "all is mind", I assure you, you won't be levitating or bending spoons but you might stumble onto a new perspective which opens the gate that leads to a gateless gate.
