Kybalion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kybalion

The Kybalion was first published in 1908 by the Yogi Publication Society and is now in the public domain, and can be found on the internet. The book purports to be based upon ancient Hermeticism, though many of its ideas are relatively modern concepts arising from the New Thought movement. The book early on makes the claim that it makes its appearance in one's life when the time is appropriate and includes variations of material found in the book of Proverbs.

Mental Transmutation[edit]

Mental Transmutation (also described as Mental Alchemy, the Art of Mental Chemistry, and the Art of Polarization) refers to the art of changing and transforming one's own mental states and conditions, as well as influencing those of others. It is also called a form of "Mystic Psychology".^[1]

The seven Principles[edit]

The book devotes a chapter to each of its seven "Principles", or axioms:

Principle of Mentalism[edit]

The Principle of Mentalism embodies the idea that "All is Mind."

Principle of Correspondence[edit]

The Principle of Correspondence embodies the idea that there is always a correspondence between the laws of phenomena of the various "planes" of being and life.^[2] As above, so below; as below, so above. This principle states that there is a harmony, agreement and correspondence between these planes, delineated as:

• The Great Physical Plane
• The Great Mental Plane
• The Great Spiritual Plane

Principle of Vibration[edit]

The Principle of Vibration embodies the idea that motion is manifest in everything in the Universe, that nothing rests, and everything moves, vibrates, and circles.^[3] This principle explains that the differences between different manifestations of Matter, Energy, Mind, and even Spirit, are the result of only different "vibrations".^[4] The higher a person is on the scale, the higher the rate of vibration will be. Here, The All is said to be at an infinite level of vibration, almost to the point of being at rest. There are said to be millions upon millions of varying degrees between the highest level, The All, and the objects of the lowest vibration.^[5]

Mental Transmutation is described as the practical application of this principle. To change one's mental state is to change vibration. One may do this by an effort of Will, by means of deliberately "fixing the attention" upon a more desirable state.^[6]

Principle of Polarity[edit]

The Principle of Polarity embodies the idea that everything is dual, everything has two poles, and everything has its opposite.^[7] All manifested things have two sides, two aspects, or two poles.^[8] Everything "is" and "isn't" at the same time, all truths are but half truths and every truth is half false, there are two sides to everything, opposites are identical in nature, yet different in degree, extremes meet, and all paradoxes may be reconciled.^[9]

Principle of Rhythm[edit]

The Principle of Rhythm embodies the idea that in everything there is manifested a measured motion, a to and fro, a flow and inflow, a swing backward and forward, a pendulum-like movement.^[10] This principle explains that there is rhythm between every pair of opposites, or poles, and is closely related to the Principle of Polarity.^[11] It can be seen that this Principle enables transition from one pole to the other, and not necessarily poles of extreme opposites.

Principle of Cause and Effect[edit]

The Principle of Cause and Effect explains that there is a cause for every effect, and an effect for every cause.^[12] It also states that there is no such thing as chance, that chance is merely a term indicating extant causes not recognized or perceived.^[13] The Principle is clarified in the chapter Causation.

Principle of Gender[edit]

The Principle of Gender embodies the idea that gender is manifested in everything.^[14] The authors state that this does not relate explicitly to the commonly understood notion of sex, but rather "... to beget; to procreate, to generate, to create, or to produce..." in general.^[15] Gender is manifested as the Masculine and Feminine principles, and manifests itself on all planes.

Mental Gender is described as a Hermetic concept which relates to the masculine and feminine principles. It does not refer to the physical gender of someone, nor does it suggest that someone of a certain physical gender necessarily has the same mental gender. Ideally, one wants to have a balanced mental gender.^[16]

The concept put forth in The Kybalion states that gender exists on all planes of existence (Physical, Mental, and Spiritual), and represents different aspects on different planes. It is also stated that everything and everyone contains these two elements or principles.^[17]

The Masculine principle is always in the direction of giving out or expressing, and contents itself with the "Will" in its varied phases.^[18]

The Feminine principle is always in the direction of receiving impressions, and has a much more varied field of operation than the Masculine. The Masculine conducts the work of generating new thoughts, concepts, and ideas, including the work of the imagination.^[19]

It is said that there must be a balance in these two forces. Without the Feminine, the Masculine is apt to act without restraint, order, or reason, resulting in chaos. The Feminine alone, on the other hand, is apt to constantly reflect and fail to actually do anything, resulting in stagnation. With both the Masculine and Feminine working in conjunction, there is thoughtful action that breeds success, which points out that both the Feminine and the Masculine fulfill each other.^[20]

KY3 Talks About Humane Society rescues dogs from owner who may have planned to abandon them

(Before It's News)

By Live Free Or Die – Unabashedly Unhinged

The newly released videos below fromDAHBOO77 and PressResetEarth provide all the proof that we need to prove that a false flag has occurred and that it was KIEV who plotted the crash of MH17 as this entire MH17 false flag comes crashing down.

 

Amazingly, the smoking gun was provided by Kiev themselves in the latest show that these Nazi’s in the Ukraine and those helping them here in America and at the UN aren’t the brightest bulbs in the room.

In the 1st video, PressResetEarth gives us a complete compilation of all the evidence that has emerged, some of it totally fabricated, that help expose this now obvious WW3 false flag; in the 2nd, Dahboo, fresh off of his appearance in a Washington Post story (Before It’s News is ‘honored’ to have been called ‘unabashedly unhinged’ in the same story!), breaks down how we can tell beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was Kiev who set up this failed false flag.

THE POWER OF EFFORTLESS ACTION

“The Sage is occupied with the unspoken
and acts without effort.
Teaching without verbosity,
producing without possessing,
creating without regard to result,
claiming nothing,
the Sage has nothing to lose.”

– Lao Tzu, Tao Tê Ching

How do we become a person, let alone a sage, who has nothing to lose? How do we achieve such a state of liberation that all things just seem to happen with effortless ease? The irony is that we are more likely to achieve something if we let go of our need to achieve it. But how do we make ourselves not want something that we actually want? How do we let go of wanting to win gold at the Olympics but still remain focused on winning gold at the Olympics? Quite the conundrum, indeed. But there may be an answer, albeit an elusive one, in the concept of Wu wei and the power of Spontaneity.

Wu wei is one of Taoism’s most important concepts. It is sometimes translated as “non-doing” or “non-action.” But a better way to think of it is the “Action of non-action.” Wu wei is a cultivated state of being effortlessly in alignment with the ebb and flow of the cosmos. It is a kind of “going with the flow” that is characterized by great ease and awareness, in which – without even trying – we’re able to adapt to any situation that might arise.

Infinity says we’re everything, finitude says we’re nothing. Between the two, we flow. It’s in this in-between where the power of spontaneity can be utilized, where we are both the seer and the seen, the Universe becoming aware of itself. The spontaneity of Wu wei is a different sort of energy than we may be accustomed to conceiving. It is not an energy that can be forced by the will. It is the noumenal experience of being in flow with the cosmos.

It is effortless and frictionless, despite needing a little effort and friction. And it is actually a letting go of our attachment to our goals so that we are in a better place to achieve our goals. It must be a free flowing process of intertwining synchronicities. But we must not be overly serious with our goals and aspirations, instead we must be sincere. We must trump our insecure seriousness with sincere humor. To be authentic we must be sincere, rather than overly serious or insecure about achieving a particular goal. One can be sincere without being serious. This is the wisdom of Wu wei.

It’s analogous to growing a flower. All we can do, as good gardeners, is prepare the soil (the mind, the body, and/or the soul) and provide the proper conditions, and then let nature take its course. If you force a flower to open prematurely, you destroy it. Similarly, if you prevent it from opening, you destroy it. It must be allowed to grow with its own intelligence, in its own self-organized direction. This is the essence of Wu wei.

Our best effort is to become attentive gardeners, to become aware of a process that we may never understand, but to allow understanding to come as a natural progression of open-minded awareness and to give into the Flow state, as a creative microcosm gives in to a greater creative macrocosm. Like Shunryu Suzuki said, “We must have beginner’s mind, free from possessing anything, a mind that knows that everything is in flowing change.”

Wu wei is spiritual blood. It spills from the heart like a razor just sliced open the wrist of the soul. Wu wei is the search for lost time, but it is also lost time. When we are in the flow state of Wu wei, we are caretaker & destroyer, teacher & student, hungry ghost & slithering wraith. Like Alan Watts said, “Change is not merely a force of destruction. Every form is really a pattern of movement, and every living thing is like the river, which, if it did not flow out, would never have been able to flow in. Life and death are not two opposed forces; they are simply two ways of looking at the same force, for the movement of change is as much the builder as the destroyer.”

But even words are merely trickster symbols that do no justice to the concept. Their only purpose is to trick us into higher imagination. The imagery is the thing, rising up from the words that just as surely kill it. Even this article kills it, and doesn’t quite grasp the elusive and poetic balance of the Wu wei experience. This article is admittedly a vain attempt, at best, to explain an elusive and sacred concept.

Louis G Herman wrote about a similar concept in his book, Future Primal: “Thuru: the process by which things become “what they are not” and, in so doing, paradoxically, become more themselves… this is something similar to the dynamic interplay of yin and yang in Chinese philosophy or the unification of opposites in the flow of the Tao.

Western philosophy has a related concept in the dialectical exploration of the in-between – the flow of awareness from thesis to antithesis into the larger truth of synthesis, which in turn provokes a new antithesis. And so the beat of Thuru goes on, embodied in the shape-shifting trickster of mythology.” Wu wei comes from spontaneity. Spontaneity comes from Wu wei. It was not fire that Prometheus stole from the gods, it was Wu wei: the language of the gods. And the fire rages mightily on.

When we are caught in the ephemeral flow of Wu wei, we are caught in sheep-clothes with a wolf-heart, right-brain firing its tender nurturing toward imaginary ends while the left-brain stamps its iron bars of open-close linearity. Somehow a balance is maintained, despite the lock-down of rules, goals, and vicissitudes. A frivolity of life subsumes the condition, and a new world rises up from the traditional; an army of imagery dances across our imagination, across the observer’s imagination, tying knots into each others thought-stream using love-strings and slipknots, loopholes and bon mots; until there is a web of life living, ever-so-shortly, in the span of a few seconds of give and take, inhale and exhale, sleep and awake, life and death. It’s the magic of the flow state. It’s the all-cylinders-firing of “being in the zone.” Like the great Jazz musician Charlie Parker advised to aspiring musicians, “Don’t play the saxophone. Let it play you.”

Congressmen Who Are Getting Closer To 9/11 Truth

by Shoebat Foundation on July 13, 2014 in General

By Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack
**SHOEBAT EXCLUSIVE**

As Americans bemoan the Obama administration’s stonewalling and redacted pages at the center of mounting scandals, they have also been largely ignoring 28 very significant pages about the 9/11 attacks that were redacted by the Bush administration. Those documents and their contents remain unavailable to the American public.

However, thanks to a bi-partisan effort by several members of the House of Representatives, pressure is being applied to the Obama administration to unseal those pages. Late last year, a two-page resolution co-sponsored by Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) and Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-NC) was filed calling on Obama to do just that. It states, in part:

The President should declassify the 28-page section of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001;

This week, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted an excerpt from a news conference he attended in March, during which he explained what he saw when he had access to those 28 pages. It’s definitely worth a watch as he clearly understands the gravity of what he read:

The Resolution has actually attracted more conservative members of the House than left-wing members who most certainly would like to take another shot at George W. Bush. Shockingly, aside from Lynch, Rep. Alcee Hastings is the only Democrat who has signed on to the Resolution. The remaining House members – Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY), Massie, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX), and Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) – are by and large of the more conservative bent.

Why would so many Democrats protect Bush by not signing on?

One day prior to the second 9/11 attack on America in Benghazi, we posted an extensive report entitled, 9/11: 3000 Americans for Three Saudi Princes. Essentially, we independently concluded that the 9/11 Commission Report was an absolute whitewash of the facts in which Saudi financiers and their groups responsible got off scotfree.

Strong evidence suggests that the Bush administration demanded some limited justice from the Saudis (three Saudi Princes reported killed within one week) in exchange for the nearly 3000 Americans who were slaughtered on 9/11. Saudi Arabia got one sweetheart deal.

Here is how the report starts:

What is a Saudi prince worth? The answer is one Saudi prince is worth 1000 Americans. Evidence suggests it’s a simple mathematical equation involving a deal being struck between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia that included the deaths of three Saudi princes who met very suspicious ends in July of 2002, within days of each other.

In a Vanity Fair article, a former C.I.A. operative was cited as the source that identified those three princes as having been named by captured #3 man in al-Qaeda, Abu Zubaydah during interrogation sessions. Each of these three princes were said to have been financiers of 9/11. Many believe that the 9/11 Commission Report omitted the princes’ involvement and that a 28-page, redacted chapter in a Joint Inquiry report – which remains classified – confirms foul play by Saudi Arabia regarding these deaths.

It obviously remains to be seen if the 28 pages refer to these three princes but we named all of them in our report and deconstructed the incredibly fishy nature of their deaths, using Arabic sources. Another reality involves the hundreds of Saudi nationals who were allowed to fly out of the U.S. in the days after 9/11 without being interviewed by authorities. This is a matter of historical record, as are legitimate concerns about specific Saudis who were permitted to leave.

Many conservatives dismissed this inconvenient truth; they should not have. Again, we do not know if the 28 pages provide any more detail in this regard but allowing these Saudis to leave without being questioned was on par with the contamination of a crime scene.

The second half of our report dealt with the myriad organizations that were terrorist in nature and that had connections to the Saudis through funding. The sheer number of organizations and individuals that should have been named in the 9/11 Commission Report but weren’t is astounding with the gift of hindsight and was clearly calculated.

It was such an important report that we made it Appendix B in The Case FOR Islamophobia.

However, the contents of the 28 pages remain a mystery.

Rove: How does he feel about releasing the 28 pages?

Something else that remains to be seen is whether or not Barack Obama would consider threatening Republicans with the release of these 28 pages. Several Republicans in office today were in office at the time of the attacks. In fact, getting the opinion of Bush’s senior adviser at the time – Karl Rove – about whether the 28 pages should be released might be as difficult as getting the pages released!
