Authorship

Despite the ambiguous authorship of Kybalions it is possible to determine the origin of the content in more detail. The publication of the book falls into the time of the New Thought movement ( engl. New Thought Movement ) in the USA. Even if the Kybalion claims to deliver pure Hermetic doctrine, it combines with the hermetic ideas of New Thought. The Seven Hermetic Principles remember especially of writings by famous authors of that school of thought such as William Walker Atkinson, whose works mostly sat apart long before the Kybalion with polarity, Karma, vibration and power of thought.

Content of Kybalions

Of content, the book refers to the statements of the Emerald Tablet and the Corpus Hermeticum. According Kybalion that Hermes was an Egyptian master and founder of the esoteric teachings which included, inter alia, alchemy and astrology. The " Hermetic Principles " contained in the book will form a key to be introduced to the meanings of hermetic texts. The goal of Hermetic alchemy is loud book by no means the production of a Philosopher's Stone, which base metals depending on the perfection thereof in gold or silver transmuted, but the conversion of mental vibrations in other mental vibrations. Thus, it is spoken in the Kybalion especially of mental and non-physical alchemy. Basis of this view is the view expressed in the book believes that the "All" is spiritual in nature.
