Pure knowledge !!!

Great book with important concepts

Although I knew that I could have a free .pdf (and I do have it) from the internet, I wanted to get this book in text. I know that I will be studying and meditating on the principles and axioms in here for some time to come. I bought it in print mostly so I could try to proselytize with it haha. Not seriously, but I show it to my friends to try and interest some of them, and I have managed to interest a couple. Hopefully, they will seek out more knowledge after reading this, just like I have.

Must-Have Book about Hermetic

After reading this book, I can say this is very insightful guide to the principles underlying hermetic. Each of the seven principles is presented and discussed in an easy to understand manner. However, to apply these principles to your life is another matter. This book is not about the practice of hermetic, but about the primal philosophy that transcend mysticism and religion. It is an invaluable addition to your library, but only if you are ready for it. The author(s) of this book, who we know only as Three Initiates, starts out describing the fundamentals of the hermetic history and philosophy. Then it briefly introduces the seven principles of hermetic, setting a framework for further discussion: I. The Principle of Mentalism II. The Principle of Correspondence III. The Principle of Vibration IV. The Principe of Polarity V. The Principle of Rhythm VI. The Principle of Cause and Effect VII. The Principle of Gender Prior presenting each principle, Three Initiates builds up the necessary knowledge to understand it better. For example, concepts of "Mental Transmutation" and "The All" are discussed before starting with the Principle of Mentalism. Each principle is explained with some detail, and multiple examples. Finally, Three Initiates advices us against the pursuing Knowledge without expressing it into Action, which otherwise becomes a vain affair. In the last chapter, it summarizes the previously presented principles and briefly explain how to approach them. This is a book that belongs to every mystical library, but paradoxically, not the first that a new student of hermetic should approach. For that purpose, I would recommend Initiation into Hermetics by Franz Bardon or The New Hermetics: 21st Century Magick for Illumination and Power by Jason Augustus Newcomb. However, the philosophical content in this book is approachable from any mystical foundation, not just hermetics. As such, buy it because eventually you will find it in your path to mysticism.

Enseñanzas ocultas o simplemente guardadas

Este libro auqnue se ha especulado mucho sobre si es contemporaneo su origen poco o nada tiene que ver con alguien que sea de estos tiempos, son pocas estas enseñanzas que Thot dejo a sus discipulos y estudiantes. Sin embargo, estas enseñanzas van mas alla de lo que cualquiera pudiera imaginarse por que en cada linea lo que parece mas fruto de la imaginacion, supersticion o disparate derrepente esta ligado a un concepto cientifico demasiado alto. En mejores palabras tiene mucha ciencia para quien dude del conocimiento que este libro puede dar y tanto asi que incluso habla a fondo del atomo y sus elementos, actualmente apenas se conoce eso muy superficialmente y sin embargo quien dejo este libro ya lo sabia. Tambien se habla mucho del genero mental que va mas alla de las actuales enseñanzas en sicologia, faltan palabras para describir este libro pero quien lo lea sea ya un romantico o un riguroso quedara satisfecho, por que el Kybalion es mas que un libro es una puerta al conocimiento antiguo mas brillante que existio.

El Kybalion

It's the most approximately true I was looking for.
