The Kybalion - Three Initiates

. .

Résumé :
A Kybalion edition with quiet depth. This edition keeps the full 1908 text exactly as it was written and adds a touch of imagery - each chapter opens with a single black?and?white illustration that hints at the idea that follows. Additional images appear throughout, offering gentle visual moments without changing the feel of the original book. This edition also includes a foreword by Summum - a clear and approachable introduction to where these teachings come from, why they've endured, and how they still speak to the big questions people ask today. The classic teachings of The Kybalion remain untouched, now presented in a way that feels a little more inviting and thoughtfully arranged. For readers who want more than a plain reprint - a Kybalion that feels intentional, reflective, and quietly inspiring....

Living around the turn of the twentieth century, speculation abounds on their identity. There are some who make the argument that William Walker Atkinson (1862 - 1932) was its sole author.

Sommaire:
This is an illustrated edition of an occult classic, with an intriguing and thought-provoking foreword by Summum. Since 1908, The Kybalion has served as a study of basic Hermetic teachings that outline an ageless wisdom and touch upon the inner workings of nature. In ancient times and even today, these teachings were not understood by the lay person, but were readily understood by students, after the axioms and principles had been explained and exemplified by the Hermetic Initiates and Masters to their Neophytes. The purpose of this work is not the enunciation of any special philosophy or doctrine, but rather is to give to the students a statement of the Truth that will serve to reconcile the many bits of occult knowledge that they may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and which often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner in the study. Our intent is not to erect a new Temple of Knowledge, but rather to place in the hands of the student a Master-Key with which he may open the many inner doors in the Temple of Mystery through the main portals he has already entered. -- The Kybalion Illustrations in the print editions are black and white. Illustrations in the ebook (epub) are color....
