Synopsis

The Transformational Occult Classic-Now in a
Special Abridged Edition with a New Introduction

Since its first appearance on the American metaphysical scene in 1908, The Kybalion has been a source of wisdom, wonder, and practical advice. Its esoteric insights, drawn from the Hermetic traditions of Ancient Egypt and Greece, present a complete philosophy of life.

Now, historian and New Thought scholar Mitch Horowitz reintroduces this landmark work in a razor-sharp condensation that contains all the wisdom of the original, but provides a special entry point for newcomers and a touchstone for long-time readers and listeners who want a refresher in the book’s insights.

This condensation of The Kybalion will enhance your understanding of the original, as it zeroes in on the book’s most transformative points, and Mitch’s introduction explains and contextualizes the work’s enduring power.

About Three Initiates

The identity of the Three Initiates has been the subject of much secrecy and rumor since The Kybalion first appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is now believed that William Walker Atkinson was one of or perhaps the sole author of the book. Born in 1862, Atkinson was a pioneer of the New Thought movement who wrote an estimated 100 books during his lifetime.

"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals—a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with n......more
