Un libro che non si può commentare ma che ogni interessato all'ermetismo e/o ad un cammino interiore dovrebbe leggere.

Ci tengo a riportare i 7 principi:

- Mentalismo
- Corrispondenza
- Vibrazione
- Polarità
- Ritmo
- Causalità
- Genere

Really high-level intro to the Seven Hermetic Principles. I'll definitely need to spend some more time with this. It was interesting noting the direct tie-in to coaching; you get what you look for. Or more correctly, you create by using mental energy. (

Written by the mysterious "Three Initiates", the Kybalion discuses "secret knowledge" throughout the book. It attempts to offer a glimpse into the universal mind of consciousness. It's a recommended book if you are a deep spiritual seeker. (

Book description

An unabridged edition of the 1908 printing: A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece

The Kybalion is a concise work on The Hermetic Philosophy outlining seven universal principles - Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. Rather than the actual Kybalion, this is purportedly an exegesis on that text. The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy is a book claiming to be the essence of the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, published anonymously by a group or person under the pseudonym of "the Three Initiates".
