A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece
"THE LIPS OF WISDOM ARE CLOSED, EXCEPT TO THE EARS OF UNDERSTANDING"
THE YOGI PUBLICATION SOCIETY MASONIC TEMPLE
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
[1912]
TO HERMES TRISMEGISTUS
KNOWN BY THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS AS
"THE GREAT GREAT" AND "MASTER OF MASTERS"
THIS LITTLE VOLUME OF HERMETIC TEACHING IS REVERENTLY DEDICATED
This concise work on Hermetic Philosophy explores seven universal principles: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender.
Though often mistaken for The Kybalion itself, this text is more accurately an analysis—an interpretation that seeks to unpack its deeper meaning. Likely authored by William Walker Atkinson under a pseudonym for the Yogi Publication Society, it stands apart from many of his other works, warranting a closer and more thoughtful read.
